Year: 2010
Plot: "Kuronuma Sawako, called Sadako by her classmates for her resemblance to the character from The Ring, has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance. Despite her appearances, she is a sweet and timid girl who longs to be able to make friends with everyone and be liked by everyone else. When her idol, popular boy Kazehaya, begins talking with her, everything changes. She finds herself in a new world, trying to make friends and talking to different people. Slowly, but surely, a sweet love is blossoming between the two as they will overtake any circumstance or clear obstacles in their way."
When I seen this movie listed on a website, I just absolutely had to watch it. I am a fan of the manga, though I couldn't tell you what chapter I was last on because I lost my manga file. >.< Anyway, I thought the manga was sweet and just had to watch the movie when I found it.
Because I haven't read the manga in quite awhile, there are some things I simply can't remember. As far as what I do remember, this movie turned out to be very good. There were some points that didn't quite make it, but I am not sure if they were just want I wanted to see or if they were actually in the manga. (I have simply read too many to remember what goes with what in most cases, unless it is one of my favorite action ones.) Anyway, it really doesn't matter because this was a good movie.
I really loved the way that Sawako was portrayed. I felt that the actress did very good with the character, which could have ruined the movie if played poorly. It wasn't just Sawako though, the whole movie was casted really well in my opinion. Though I can't say whether they stuck perfectly to the manga at the moment, but they did well enough to make a very good movie.
There wasn’t really any point within the movie that I can say that I was disappointed with. Though some parts made me mad or upset, it wasn’t because of the movie, but because of things within the storyline. By this I mean that I was mad a let’s say what a character did or for that matter didn’t do, not with something that was done by the filmmakers.
This movie is well worth the watch. The storyline is well done, even if you don’t quite know the manga. This is definitely one movie that is good enough for the average audience and not just the manga fan. I have already decided that this is one movie that needs to go into my collection especially as a live action anime movie.
