Two things!
First, I watched the Love Com movie. It was... well, it was cute, but it wasn't really good. If it had been a drama, then I would have been more forgiving, but this is a movie... rules are a little different.
So the plot was changed slightly, which was fine, considering you kinda have to do that. But there were some things I definitely did not like. First, they got rid of Seiko-chan and Haruka. I understand they did this out of time constraints, but STILLLL. I LOVE Haruka! I wish they had left him in! The worst thing was they made Risa have an older sister, who was annoying. VERY ANNOYING. They also got rid of the first kiss at Otani's house, which was such a good scene! And the final scene, where Otani kisses Risa was altered quite a bit. It wasn't as good or sweet.
Mizushima Hiro was in it! He played one of the supporting roles (Suzuki-kun!). I enjoyed both him, and the girl who played Chiharu (Kudo Risa). They were appropriately sweet, geeky, and clumsy around each other, though I thought they made Chiharu a bit too fashionable. I did NOT like the girl who played Nobu-chan (Tamaki Nami). She was kinda annoying, and totally just did not fit the role at all. The guy who played Nakao (Yamazaki Yusuke) was okay, but not dorky enough. I'm on the fence about the guy who played Otani (Koike Teppei). He was okay, but not spectacular. But he did have the right enthusiasm for the role, which was good.
BUT all that aside, I was really impressed by the girl who played Risa (Fujisawa Ema). She was adorable, and perfect for the role.
The guy who played Maity (Shosuke Tanihara, who apparently was Domyoji in the Hana Yori Dango movie from '95!) kinda creeped me out. I'm sure he's not normally creepy, but he was creepy in this role. And he had a weird catch phrase...
So yeah, the whole thing was weird. Plus, there was narration in english (but, you know, with a heavy Japanese accent), and the subtitles I had didn't sub that part, so I was like "whhaaa?"...
Second, thanks to sn0tcat I am reading, watching, and becoming obsessed with Vampire Knight.
I love it so much already! I mean, hello, vampires + romance = total and complete awesomeness, and Meredith's dream story! Also, am totally in love with Zero. He's like an anime vampire Draco. I love Kaname too, of course, but Zero is more my type (pale hair, pale eyes, angsty, angry, made of awesomeness, you get the drill)... if you know, he existed. but, since I love Kaname too, apparently my type is "vampires with cool hair"... also, you know, if that existed...
