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.


( Spoilers behind cut )

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.

This summer seems to be the season of cross dressing girls and manga adaptions. In July, Paradise Kiss, Star Protector Dog, and Ninja Kids!!! will hit theaters. In July the You're Beautiful remake and the unnecessary Hanazakari no Kimitachi e remake will hit the small screen. And now, I hear that the Ouran High School Host Club live action television series is a go!


I'm a huge fan of the manga and I enjoyed the anime series, but I've always been wary of a live action series or film. The manga is just so crazy and the characters just too weird. But, it's happening - there's a page at dramawiki and everything. The cast has even been announced. The cast makes me worried. Very worried.

( The Cast is full of people I don't know )


Mostly, I have nothing to say about the cast. I only know Kawaguchi Haruna (who is good, and may be alright as Haruhi) and Yamamoto Yusuke, whose a fine actor, but seems terribly missed casted as Tamaki. I don't have high hopes for this series. Not just because of the cast, but also because it just doesn't seem like something that can transfer well to onscreen.


Anyway, the Ouran live action series begins this July. It'll air in the "death spot" - 12:20a.m. and will air on TBS.
