Daily Lives of High School Boys (2013)

This movie takes on a different life than the original anime. It takes scenes and lines from the original show but it also takes on a new life with a new scenario as a live-action, and I feel that the way the writer(s) and director mixes the two definitely makes the movie!

Each actor was wisely chosen for their part and the way they all worked well with each other was superb! The chemistry between each person was felt throughout the movie. I felt like I was watching a special episode of the anime, the characters in this live-action fit so well to the original characters of the anime. Definitely a fantastically made anime to live-action movie.

The anime, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, is one of my all time favourites so when I found out a couple days ago about this movie I just had to re-watch it in preparation for the movie.
Overall, the movie was not that bad. It included most (but not all) of the characters and had a lot of jokes from the anime - although I do wish it included more, but it's understandable why there weren't that many. This movie is very funny and I really like how they based it on the festival from the anime, although I must admit, I was rather disappointed about the girls in the movie as not only were they very different from the original characters, but they were also in it a lot more which I felt took away from the point of it being about the boys. Also I must admit I did not approve of how they incorporated Ringo's character as she was a completely different person... However I think Nomura Shuhei slayed as Tanaka~!

All in all it was a good, funny movie but did not do the anime justice.
