Nana 2 (2006)
Disappointed from such a good manga
Saw it not too long ago and I must say that I was fairly disappointed. Especially since the second half of the story is just so heartbreaking and dramatic, having seen the anime, and they just destroyed it.
The new Hachi feels pretty fake, and her acting reminds me a lot of her old role in "Kurosagi", which is by the way a complete different character (A.k.a the girl that cries "Kurosaki-saaaaan" 10 times á episode). But other than that the other new arrivals were okay, not great, but okay.
Lack of feeling, sloppy editing and some bad acting is what you get here, although Hiroki Narimiya (Nobu) pretty much saved it from being a total disaster. I must say that his acting is just getting better and better... not to mention his cool mohawk haircut in this flick.
Garasu no kamen (1997)
A lovely story and how-to-be-a-actress lessons in one?
I must say that Glass Mask is one of my favorite manga that turned into a live series. Glass Mask is about a young girl named Maya and poor girl which grows to love acting more than her life. This is a quite troublesome matter for her mother who thinks that Maya can't ever do everything right and taking up acting also means that she would leave her. At the same time a ex famous actress takes an eye for Maya and her strong desires and offers her to join her theater group. But the road of becoming a true actress isn't all roses. People are cruel and would do everything to get what they want.
And the thing is, she never cease to amaze me.. You'll see a whole new type of old plays in which you played Puck in your own way, but never thought you could do it in Mayas way. Truly amazing...
