KINDAICHI SHONEN NO JIKENBO: MANGA VS LIVE ACTION
#fourth3days #challenge
A bit late for the fourth, ne. I do love problem/ mystery solving genre, including detective. One of some of my favorite series is Kindaichi Shōnen no Jikenbo (The Case of Young Kindaichi), written by Seimaru Amagi and Yozaburo Kanari, and illustrated by Fumiya Sato. You can read about it here. :))
What I am gonna write is about the manga series chapters vs the live action series episodes. Not the review for both, it's good idea though but not for noW :p It's just in which episodes the manga chapters were adapted into live action. Until this 2015, Kindaichi has four seasons of dorama and some specials. You can read the detail here.
What I like about the live action are they sticked to character, not appearance, and they tried to reproduce the cases from the manga. Except Kame-kun, the other three, at least for me, Tsuyoshi-san, J, Yamada-kun, I think were success to act as Kindaichi. The other casts were good too. I do like Narimiya Hiroki-san's Takato. But I definitely don't like Akechi Kengo's cast. Ahh!! Akechi in real live should be more like Nino in Platina Data! Haha~ Anyway some parts of some cases maybe too difficult to be filmed or not really appropriate to be aired in television, so they did some improvisation. They improvised some characters too, which is I don't really like -.-" Sometimes they reversed the gender too. But~ overall it's good! I recommend you to watch Kindaichi ;)
I'll go with the manga chapters and the episodes of the live action following. By the way, it would take time to finish, especially I haven't watched the second season yet. But I promise, I'll finish it!! XD
