I've just seen Doushitemo Furetakunai.
I feel like I've hit with the nostalgia train. I'm remembering watching my first few BL movies and that feeling I used to get when I watched the cute fluff scenes before I was hardened (excuse the pun) by the hardcore explicit stuff.
If you read the manga recommendation post I made a few days ago you will know that I read the manga a looooong time ago.
I re-read it to make the recommendation post, and then again as I was watching the live action the second time. The film and the manga are so closely linked it was fabulous.
Remember when Junjou Pure Heart kicked us in the feels with their live action remake featuring the beautifully adorable Rakuto Tochihara
As I was simultaneously watching the live action and reading the manga, you could see how it was nearly word for word the same. Umf I loved it.
In the first 10 minutes!
Okay it's really hard to visually represent how similar they are in one post...if I knew how to gif...I would. But you get the idea!
Compared with the manga, the film was very sweet and innocent...no graphic sex scenes, a film for the whole family~ Ha~ I wouldn't.
Not saying that the manga wasn't sweet! It was~ but remember, this ain't no fluffy-ass-shōnen-ai THIS IS YAOI! Where we have graphic scenes in abundance~ We're drowning in graphic sex scenes. Oh god imagine....
Speaking sex scenes, there was something very Takumi-kun-esque about them. Seriously, the nostalgia is real with this film.
I'm going to bring back Junjou Pure Heart again. Remember the kiss scenes in JPH? I just read that post back (dear lord it needs updating, I sound like an idiot) and I love how I pretty much said "It wasn't the best scene I've seen" when in actual fact I meant "MAAAAN IT SUCKED" in the nicest way possible.
Although the kissing scenes in this film weren't bad, per say, they were just...cautious. If Shima and Togawa were kissing or being intimate in any way the camera recorded from far away, "are you guys even touching?" I would scream at my screen and that just annoyed me. Vary your angles god damn it!
Oh there was one scene when the camera got all up in Shima and Togawa's face, and that was when Shima was crying and Togawa was shouting at him, it wasn't a scene I'd personally go all close up with. But hey, I'm no cameraman or director.
I don't know guys I felt like this film was a little slow, which I find really weird because the manga was so fast-pace and interesting. I guess it's a different representation of the same story. Idk.
Kousuke Yonehara is the very same Kousuke Yonehara from COCOA OTOKO OMGGGG
I was staring at his face for the first 20 minutes thinking to myself "where have I seen you before? WHO ARE YOU?!" Then I gave up and did the cast list and oh my goodness crying clouds it' him. Kousuke Yonehara. The One.
Why did Cocoa Otoko have to disband?! I loved them so much.
I'm now listening to Cocoa Otoko...the heart breaks slowly for the millionth time.
What is it with the Cocoa Otoko guys and BL live actions? Kousuke Yonehara in this, Kenta Kamakari in Princess Princess D, Kei Hosogai in Takum-kun 2...that's 3 out of the 5 that I know about...
Why did I rate it a 6?
Well...I feel like these numbers actually have pretty heavy baggage, to be honest I just kinda throw them away haphazardly.
Let's examine what the numbers effectively mean
1-4 : I didn't like it that much
5 : It was okay
6 : I liked it!
7 : I really liked it!
8 : OH I really really liked it, borderline love, yo!
9 : omg tie me to a chair i'm flailing with looooove
10 : *unconscious with love*
I don't like to go below a 5 and 8 means "I loved it" so that means I have 6 and 7 to play with!
I gave Takumi-kun 1,2 and 3 a six!
The numbers don't mean a lot ahaha ^^;;
Okay I'm done here! If you haven't read the actual post on [InsertNameHere] then it's HERE
Have a lovely day ❤️️
