Real Girl (3D Kanojo: Riaru Garu) Live Action Review [2018]

Hello everyone!
Today, I'm going to write a short review of a live action movie and the title is Real Girl (3D Kanojo: Riaru Garu). This  is a 2018 Japanese movie based on the manga by Mao Nanami. 


For the information of the movie, I will link it here.
My review:
So, I watched this last year and re-watched it because I want to make a short review about this live action movie. I've read some volumes of the manga and I enjoyed it a lot. It even becomes one of my favourite shoujo manga and I want to read it until the final volume but I haven't gotten there. So, I know that live action movie will be sort of different from the manga, but I found this adaptation is fun and refreshing. I admire the heroine, Iroha Igarashi. In the manga, she is cool, calm and so beautiful. Meanwhile, in the movie, Ayami Nakajo who played the character is cheerful, playful, and beautiful as well. They are different but I love that! I think Ayami portrayed her character well. She added a cute and fun side of Iroha. Tsutsun, who is portrayed by Hayato Sano, is well-portrayed too. Arisa Ishino (played by Yuri Tsunematsu) and Sumie Ayado (played Moka Kamishiraishi) are adorable too, especially the character Arisa Ishino. Yuri Tsunematsu portrayed her really well. Yuto Ito (portrayed by Yutaro) is so adorable, I can't >,< I only dislike the character Mitsuya Takanashi; I will explain it later.

(Hiroya Shimizu as Mitsuya Takanashi)

The plot is easy to follow. The story goes smoothly and will not lead us into a confusion. The conflict is simple but interesting. It is a romance-comedy so there are a lot of funny scenes that are shown. However, there are several scenes that are little bit cringey, in my opinion, especially a scene with Mitsuya Takanishi, that's why I dislike the character in this movie adaptation but remember, it's only my opinion and I only dislike the character, not the actor. I love Hiroya Shimizu. Also, there are a lot of cute romantic scene in this movie between Hikaru and Iroha. And after the half of the movie, we will be given more serious scenes.





Overall, this movie is nice, refreshing and cute. I will give this movie 3,2/5 stars (my rating might be different from other people's rating).

Japanese Movie Review: Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (Konya, Sekai kara kono Koi ga Kietemo) [2022]

If you love torturing yourself by watching sad movies like I do, then you need to watch Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (今夜、世界からこの恋が消えても -native title). (The Movie Poster) I will insert the official Twitter here , and more information on AsianWiki here . Maori Hino (Riko Fukumoto) has retrograde amnesia. She basically will forget everything if she falls asleep. When she wakes up, she reads many signs in her room that tell her to read her diary. Her diary is the only thing that can explain her activities before she was asleep. One day, Toru Kamiya (Shunsuke Michieda), a guy from her school, asks her to be his girlfriend. And Maori said yes. Then the story begins. (Shunsuke Michieda as Toru Kamiya) (Riko Fukumoto as Maori Hino) Reading from the synopsis on AsianWiki and other sources, we already know where the story will go. I mean, isn't it already sad that Maori have to face that situation? There is a fake dating trope in this movie. Yes, at first Maori and Toru
