Lightning does strike twice
So, I recently watched Nodame Cantible, an anime about classical music and the struggles of one semi-genius musician who strives to be a world famous conductor one day. The anime itself is riddled with famous classical pieces that are played wonderfully. However, loving this anime so much made me wonder, was there a live action? And would it live up to the anime? There's always a problem when it comes to musical anime themes and translating into a live action. Anime is easy to just get a score and transpose it over an animation that fits the bill well enough to make you think they're actually playing it, it is only an animation after all. However, in a live action to 'fake' it you might as well be playing it (or using stupid trick camera angles).
So I downloaded the first episode of Nodame Cantible Live Action... I'm flabbergasted. It's even better than the anime! The pieces are still amazing and I can't tell if they're actually playing it or 'faking' it. Not to mention watching the quirks of the main characters come to life. Haha, I laugh my ass off every time Nodame screams "GYABO!!". They picked a spectacular cast for it.
This one is a keeper... and, I think I'm beginning to fall in love with live action anime. It's got a whole new dynamic to it that anime is just missing... ^_^; real girls.
