Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai ~ Tensai tachi no ren'ai zunô sen ~

Not as i would like to be from the version that the anime. But the settings is top notch. At the end of the day you'll get a movie that is great to watch and laugh till your hearts content.

Their manga and anime so captivationg and wonderfull to watch, so my expectation of this live action is a bit high...kanna hashimoto and sho hirano play kaguya and shirogane very well... but for chika fujiwara character...oh my God, this live action just massacre my most beloved character. the one i waited on the movie, turns out the one i cant stand due to the cringe. its so cute in the anime, yet so bizzare in movies.

The leads were great! What a great casting (they look the part perfectly, and I wish this was a TV series instead of a movie).. as well as Make-up, Wardrobe, Locations, Colors, Editing, Sound effect etc.

Sadly, this movie is 2 seasons worth of Anime summarized in 2 hours. Although it has good pacing, it still feels rushed. It's a patchwork of scenes from the manga edited together to form a plot.. but there is a little change that makes it worth seeing (appreciated and unexpected). It's fresh enough, but still too familiar. The rest of the cast was awfully forgettable (except for Hayasaka) and weren't used as they should have, which is weird for such important parts of the original (specially Fujigawara).

** Barely in theaters at this point, and only found in Japanese.

The most popular guy and the most popular girl in this prestigious elite school are obviously into each other, but they are both way too prideful to make themselves vulnerable by showing it, so every interaction between them becomes a power play and a chess game. The stuff they come up with to avoid revealing themselves and circumvent the elefant in the room is pretty creative and hilarious. The humor is totally childish and over the top in the typical anime style but it's very well balanced out with a charming, sweet and wholesome romance, good cinematography and some funny side characters. The movie is never predictable and a lot of scenes take unexpected turns that make it even more funny. Since I am not a manga or anime fan I can only judge the movie on its own and I must say I found it extremely entertaining and absolutely hysterical. I laughed out loud quite a few times. Definitely recommended.

Super funny adoption! I enjoyed every single moment, Sho Hirano was remarkable as usual, I really feel he's an anime character! Handsome and hilarious,, Zettai sugoi!!

I came to know Kanna Hashimoto she did fit the role perfectly.
