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.

Well It was God And Heart Harming,Not Too Good Also Not Too Bad!

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.

Wow, I haven't had this much fun since the excellent first season of "Switch Girl" ! Ah, the Japanese. I've not seen anyone do cuteness/charm quite like them & LIW is probably the classic demo for the style. Beginning life as a manga, it then became a well-regarded two season anime series. So rather than morphing into a live-action series ( a la the lovely "Jellyfish Princess" ), it's now a feature film which some on-liners accuse of missing too many things out. Since I come to it minus any baggage, all I can do is judge it as is, and.....I love it ! Set in a super-posh private school, the president of the student council is Shirogane ( Sho Hirano ) a handsome, gifted lad from a humble background. His vice-prez is Shinomiya ( Kanna Hashimoto ) an equally studious girl but from a mega-rich family. They have strong feelings for each other yet struggle to express them, though I think it's more to do with the excruciating stress of confessing to the other ( a universal problem for the ages ) than any power-struggle. There's clearly a cuteness formula for this sort of material to work, yet it somehow doesn't grate the way the K-Drama template does because there's a lot more scope for creativity. The animations here are great & certain sight-gags are superb; Everything looks gorgeous & even the council chamber evokes memories of the interior sets at King's Landing in Game Of Thrones. The cast are tip-top too, with a core of real emotion never drowned out by the visual pyrotechnics. I used the word "fun" in my opening sentence for good reason. So if you feel like smiling/laughing, you know what to do.

Is it as good as the anime? No Does it do somethings better than the anime? Also no BUT is it a disgrace to the "Love is War" name, FAR FROM IT. The actors play their characters perfectly, the stupidity of it is amazing, its hilarious while also being serious at times.

This movie is everything you could hope for with a live action anime adaptation, yes it does have a slightly different story but it still stays true to the heart of the original Basically, if you're a fan of the anime then I would recommend you watch this, it will not disappoint And if you're not a fan I would still tell you watch it.
