Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi Live Action
Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi / The Town Where Only I Am Missing ("ERASED") was released in Japan on March 2016. Around the same time the anime and manga finished airing.
I just wanted to commend how awesome the two child actors were for this live action adaptation, Rio Suzuki as Kayo and Tsubasa Nakagawa as Satoru. I remember Rio from the dorama with Hikari Mitsushima, Woman (2013) and she did really well for that hardcore drama. And as for Tsubasa, I think this was his first starring role for a movie and he did really well portraying the young Satoru.
The adult casts were awesome as well. What else can we expect from the ever awesome Tatsuya Fujiwara right? As for the storyline of the movie, there were a lot of jumps and skips from the original but I guess that overall, it was an "okay" adaptation. My only major complaint was the ending that was so uncalled for.
[Spoiler (click to open)]
I really do not understand why this even happened???
Can someone please tell me the reason on why they had to kill off Satoru's character in the end? This was nowhere near the anime or the manga.
See, I'm a big fan of the anime and it was one of the best ones that aired during it's season so hearing about the live action got me all excited. The movie started off very nicely until it reached the last 20 minutes of the film. That's when it started to get dirty and messy. lol. So anyway, enough of the rant. Basically made this post just to rant about it. haha
