Though I had much misgivings about the live action version of this manga/anime, I decide to give the first episode of the live action series a chance. Before I begin, I just want to say that the only actor I knew going into this was Yusuke Yamamoto (playing Tamaki). I knew him from several dramas: Hana-Kimi, Puzzle, Atashinchi no Danshi, and Taiyou to Umi no Kyoushitsu; I enjoyed him in all the dramas, but I couldn't see him as Tamaki. The rest of the cast are apparently really well loved in the fan communities, but I had no idea who they were.

All that said, the show is like a live action anime. And, despite some "anime acting", everyone does well in their roles, especially Haruna Kawaguchi, Yusuke Yamamoto, and Shunsuke Daito as Haruhi, Tamaki, and Kyoya. It's fast and fun and bright. And, it's a nice watch.
Ouran airs on Fridays.
