Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War (2019 film)

At the start of 2019, anime fans got blown away by the hilarious rollercoaster ride of the anime series titled Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and while fans can’t get the whole insanely fun love story out from their heads, some might be displeased because the live-action movie adaptation of the same name easily overshadowed the anime by whatever reasons known only to themselves.

Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War

Starring King & Prince member Sho Hirano as Miyuki Shirogane and Kanna Hashimoto as yours truly, Kaguya Shinomiya, among many others, this live-action adaptation is just like the anime everyone watched at the start of 2019; it's about two leaders of the student council got entangled in an all-out war on who gets to confess their love first.

The anime version has jam-packed with overall insanity that made them burst into laughter whereas the live-action film takes a more realistic approach. You won't find any insanity from the anime in here because despite being too toned down, it still pulls a proper comedic approach that brings moviegoers to a whole new meaning of love and war. As a matter of fact, like most live action movie adaptations, the Kaguya-sama film can easily crush its anime counterpart so the next time when you woke up to bed and finding out what's it all about Kaguya-sama, chances are that the live-action film will pop-up first and that's it.

My rating: 3.9 out of 5.
