Live Action Drama...

[Mitsukuni Haninozuka]

Do you like or hate it?

I personally went into the live action with low expectations because of how much I love the anime and manga and didn't want disappointment. I was proven wrong and now I LOVE IT. I even love some of the minor changes they made. Yes, some things are cheesy. Cheesy to the point of facepalming. As has been said, some stuff just doesn't work in real life i.e. honey-sempai "shrinking" *shudders* it's just weird. I'm happy they kept the cosplaying/dressing up that the host club does. I was worried that budget and whatnot would prevent that from happening in every episode. I'm very sad though that they didn't make Tamaki's hair blonder, but the actor, Yamamoto Yusuke, is an awesome Tamaki! That's a hard role.... In fact, the main cast is doing great so far.

I hated the uniforms at first, but I'm growing to like the male uniforms. The female uniform look strange IRL, but that was expected.

I completely agree.

After seeing other anime/manga turned into live action I felt as if this live action would only ruin the series for me. I decided I wouldn't watch the live action at all when it first came out. Then I saw some of the images for it and I got curious. I've been keeping up with it ever since.

I love the cast, they all fit the characters very well. The twins are the only ones I think have a slight knock off in their role, but great none the less.

And I'm glad that they made Tamaki a brunette, like he is in the manga. The accuracy is amazing.

I hope they make a turn towards a more Tama/Haru series, even though the Kyo/Haru scene in episode five was just pure genius.

I am a little behind on the live action, but I ADORE it. Although I don't like Tamaki's face... something about his lips put me off.. and Hani's hair is annoying. But other then that I love it! Kyouya, Mori and the twins makes me purr with their hotness! Although I dislike that they are leaning so heavily on Kyou/Haru since I never ever think that couple would work and that they thre out Hika/Haru scene that are supposed to be there. I only hope they lean back to Tama/Haru and Hika/Haru because without it the twins will never learn to love and continue to use people as toys.

Yeah there are a lot of quirks they have on the show but it's still fabulous!

I do love how they kept to the manga and left Tamaki's hair brown.

As for the ships, I pair different characters in different arts. For the manga I ship Haruhi and Tamaki. In the Anime I ship Haruhi and Hukaru. Now in the live action I can't help but to ship Haruhi and Kyouya.

[Kaoru Hitachiin]

Well, in the anime, manga and live action I pair Tamaki/Haruhi but in my heart I ship Mori/Haruhi. *nods* Don't mind my weirdness, I'm a yaoi fangirl but I always thought that Mori and Haruhi fit.

I was a little worried when I saw the picture of the cast, but as soon as I started watching it I fell in love. I really do enjoy the subtle differences, i think they add to it. I also enjoy that tried to keep all of Tamaki's crazy outrageous reactions there and they are doing a marvelous job at it
