If there’s some banter, it might still be watchable.

It was just too much.

I wrote complaints in the festival survey.

I like the part where the opponent pulled out a shotgun when I raided the arcade.

I heard that something like Saejima appeared and died immediately, and I thought that was a waste.

I watched just one episode and threw in the towel.

If you’re going to do a simultaneous watch, let me know when episode 2 starts.

I feel that the movie where Goro-chan appeared as Goro-chan was much better.

In this Reiwa era, is there really a live-action that is that terrible? I’m skeptical, but…

>>8

If you’re going to doubt that much, then go watch and see for yourself!

>>8

I shouldn’t be saying this since I haven’t seen it, but…

That work was heavily criticized from the very first day on that bulletin board, and by the second day, it was completely met with condemnation…

Heisei Devilman

Like the dragon of the Reiwa era

Oolong tea gulp gulp

>>12

It was tough to keep hearing this awful catchphrase repeated in Twitch ads.

To compare him to Devilman is truly disrespectful to Ryoma Takeuchi.

It’s more of a failure that’s closer to the live-action Attack on Titan.

I felt it was hopeless after just 3 minutes and haven’t watched it since…

How useless can you be…

>>15

That’s why I’m telling you to see for yourself.

It starts abruptly with Kiryu-chan, Nishiki, Yumi, and an original character woman robbing an arcade, and I’m already thinking this is no good…

Upon a quick glance, there’s a mysterious character named Daigo Sasaki…

This is definitely the second live-action adaptation, right? Was the first one well-received?

>>20

I am unable to provide a translation as the text is not visible. Please provide the Japanese text you would like me to translate.

>>22

The visuals are surprisingly not bad…

>>20

It feels like I just borrowed a name for the first time.

Kiryu-chan is well-built and cool!

>>20

Wasn’t it the third time? The movie, the poem of the soul, and this.

>>27

Since there is also a black leopard, it would be the fourth in the series.

I think it would be enjoyable to watch together with friends who have already played the original.

If you weren’t playing it, it would be like watching Ni no Kuni, so it seems tough.

Drama version of the Tohjo Kai and Omi Alliance’s major viewing episode.

I want Kiryu-san to hold back the executives who come at me in a fit of rage there.

>>23

What is necessary for enjoying it is rather Kasuga Ichiban.

I had no expectations from the beginning, so when I heard the bad reviews, I thought, “I knew it.”

I really think that those who write their impressions after watching that point are truly admirable, since I honestly have no intention of watching it.

It’s a problem beyond whether it’s interesting or not.

I can’t hear the lines because your voice is too quiet!

>>26

(Raise the volume)

>>26

I thought about this with the live-action adaptation of JoJo, but what is this all about?

I can’t hear it, and the screen is dark, so I can’t tell what they’re doing.

Well, they probably made it invisible on purpose to cover up the mistake.

It became a legend.

I think a 1.5 star rating for an Amazon original TV drama is unprecedented.

>>29

Lower than Black Sun…

If they turned the content of 1 into a drama as is, wouldn’t it make a safely interesting one?

I felt sick because it was so hard to understand in the first episode.

>>32

The mastermind behind the incident where they rampaged freely in their territory and caused damage, although I couldn’t win against Kiryu-chan who fought valiantly in underground fighting for the sake of the others, I can somewhat understand picking him up as a subordinate because he has potential. However, it makes no sense to pick up Nishiki, who threw a tantrum and made a scene by cutting off his own pinky, all while telling him to work to pay off his debts.

What surprised me was that there was no classic scene like Kiryu and Nishikiyama taking off their jackets and showing their tattoos, leading to the final showdown.

Nishiki seems like a chuunibyou assassin…

I have no idea what is considered interesting in its creation before reaching thoughts about it being different from the original.

It would have been fine to just adapt the content of 1, including the extreme parts, into live-action; why did you add original elements…?

It seems that this is what happens when you have a contrarian spirit that doesn’t want to follow the original work and is created by the incompetent.

I had heard for a while that my younger sister’s college friend is a woman who is very much loved.

When I asked if they had shared their thoughts on this, they said they were in a really bad mood for a while after the stream started.

Maybe it’s better that the anonymous person just prepared the recording environment and said I could freely create the script.

I think it will be an interesting work because they will probably create it according to the original.

First of all, the casting is too poor.

It’s not that the actor is bad, it’s just that they don’t fit the role.

The title “Evil Queen” and the Japanese staff make me expect great things from the streaming drama! They beautifully stopped the ongoing trend.

>>43

Isn’t the extreme evil completely later on?

The live-action adaptation of JoJo isn’t as bad as they say! I heard that and actually watched it, but…

That’s not good… is what I thought.

It’s fine to think that if you’re going to make something, you don’t want to do it exactly like the original, but…

I have never seen a case where a book produced by such a person was interesting.

To be honest, in the first half I thought, “Well, it’s not that interesting…” so I managed to watch it all to some extent.

If it continues like this in the second half, I thought it might be just a minor loss for passing the time.

It got worse in the second half, and I had a headache.

There is no information other than a failed attempt at contrarian trading.

I’m scared because there’s absolutely no information about the scriptwriter Yugo Nakamura.

I know that a chubby old man from Saga appeared instead of Chikage Takeuchi.

It might be fan service, but when they included super popular characters or strong characters from the original as mob characters, it caused quite a stir…

>>55

I think that if the main storyline is interesting, those elements would normally be overlooked; rather, it feels like they are just being pointed out because everything has become chaotic.

>>55

Which area did you have the mob appear? Akiyama, maybe?

>>67

Abano and Shibusawa

>>67

The names of mob yakuza are mostly taken from the names of prominent yakuza figures that I have seen in the original work.

For example, there are three people with names like 0, but their characters are not represented at all, and it feels like fans would especially notice this and find it irritating…

It’s a story about how completely different from the game, I was working hard on my role preparation for Kazuma Kiryu in the drama, even though it was incomprehensible.

It’s unfortunate that the actor is being put in the spotlight and facing so much criticism, like “Ryoma Takeuchi’s Yakuza is extremely unpopular!” and all that.

The first thing is that there’s no doubt that Kiryu-chan has a great build, and the high level of resemblance to his brother is a big plus.

Posting a deep and flavorful interview.

“In such a popular game that is receiving this much attention, both myself and others tend to focus heavily on ‘recreating the original,’ but as representative Yokoyama requested, ‘there’s no need to imitate,’ we have built an entirely new worldview for ‘Like a Dragon.'”

“I thought there was no need to imitate it, including a sense of liberation from the pressure of faithfully adapting the original work.”

Why did it end up like this when Yakuza has been getting good reviews lately?

Kamen Rider Drive?

The movie version was good except for the playboy couple and the Korean assassin.

Black Sun has a lot of noise, but I can understand what it wants to say, and it didn’t miss the pose and transformation scene.

My friend, who has played through the entire series, looked really pained while watching, and it was no good.

I only know it at the level of memes, so I didn’t feel much discomfort in the conversation, but I’ve been watching it thinking the voice is kind of low in volume, right?

It feels like Takashi Miike has made his relationships with Nishiki and Yumi quite simple and shifted the focus more towards his relationship with Majima.

So, things are relatively going well between Kiryu and Majima.

I just think that unnecessary scenes like the mysterious idiot couple and the bank robbery should be cut, and that time could be better spent on Nishiki or something.

Drinking the last stamina drink and making a comeback is indeed a game recreation, but it’s tough because I’m just sliding normally…

>>68

It’s doing the same thing as Mario in the movie when he took the star and made a comeback…

>>69

I think it would be a good scene to drink Staminan as a way to get pumped up before getting on the tower, but drinking it nonchalantly after being completely worn out is just… something.

>>79

Even so, it’s a game, so it’s something you drink when you’re defeated, and I personally find the surreal imagery when it becomes live-action interesting.

>>93

I think it would have been well-received if it had a good reputation.

What should be compared to this is not the misaligned evil queen, but overwhelmingly Ryohei Suzuki’s City Hunter, right?

This makes Ryoma Takeuchi seem too pitiful.

I hope you get a good role in the next Yakuza game.

Isn’t Ryohei Takeuchi more like Nishiki?

>>75

Her face is so cute that honestly, in the original work… I think characters like Rikiya or Shinji would be more like her admirers or sidekicks.

I think the character doesn’t really have a role at this point in the thread, but there are so many other criticisms that it’s incredible that I don’t even care about that anymore.

But I love the part where Kiryu, who just got out of prison, has a drink with Nishikiyama…

Koji Tsuruta, who appeared simply because of his name associated with the yakuza, despite having no relation to the original work.

Here we go! It’s not “Zubaa”!

It feels like they forcibly made it into another project, as the original elements get in the way at every turn.

I don’t think Ryohei Takemura is exactly skinny, but rather more on the slender muscular side. However, when I see him as the character Kiryu, he suddenly looks quite thin.

On the contrary, is there no intimidating actor who I would like to see play the role of Kazuma Kiryu?

>>83

If it were just about the face and presence, it would have been better to have Kazuki Kitamura from the movie version.

I don’t know if you’re training hard enough to be fine with being shirtless or doing action scenes.

>>83

First of all, it’s impossible because being good at acting goes against the image.

>>88

Huh?

>>88

What do I want to say…

Honestly, Ryohei Takeuchi lacks the presence and is just not suited for this kind of role at all.

>>84

Your face is too cute.

Even if I grow a beard, it just makes me look like a middle schooler trying to act cool.

It’s sad that those who are not interested in games think, “This is what Yakuza is.”

>>85

Well, if we’re talking about the scenario, it’s like that.

The circumstances surrounding the murder of Dojima in Nishikiyama felt quite fitting.

I can say that a rating of ★1.6 is not an undervaluation.

Kiryu-chan has a very game-like appearance, both in facial features and body shape, that is quite detached from reality.

Surprisingly, it’s not really suited for someone to be cast in a live-action adaptation…

>>92

There are many characters based on real-life models, and while it’s a realistic-looking game, when I think about it calmly, the designs are quite unusual…

Let’s set aside the casting and script for now; it’s hard to grasp the story because it frequently switches between ten years ago and the present.

>>95

What I heard here before is that even if you understand the story, it becomes not just uninteresting but also adds more contradictions and nonsensical scenes, so not being able to grasp the story is not considered a debuff.

“But I’ve often heard the talk that Nagase would be perfect for the role of Kiryu.”

It might have been something about the outside.

>>97

About a year before the release of the PS2 version, there were people who said things like “Isn’t the model Nagase?” because they were doing Tiger & Dragon at that time.

>>97

It seems that Nagase would suit being the number one the best…

>>104

I totally understand.

I have a feeling that roles prioritizing physique over looks are better.

Yumi is simply annoying…

Even though I wasn’t doing anything myself, I get overly irritated…

What’s the deal with creating an original character’s sister and making her a character that builds more hate than the original?

The last scene where he carries her like a princess in his arms really looks tough, and I like it.

I can’t tell if the image looks particularly bad, but the visual is too much like a thug.

I think Director Miike wasn’t really interested in the game itself; he was just watching people play it.

I really want to see Nagase’s number one.

You can bring the person themselves for the number.

>>109

It would be nice if Adachi-san could bring the person along too.

I think as long as you can recognize that she is indeed Kiryu-chan as a character, it doesn’t matter if her appearance isn’t that close, but it’s quite difficult, isn’t it?

You used the golem actor Ryoma Takeuchi to do Obujien, right?

Of course, the live-action drama will also not forget the essence of the original game. “For instance, there are scenes in the underground fighting arena and the moment Kiryu wears ‘that outfit’ for the first time; we have prepared such scenes for the original fans.”

Director Takeuchi is also concerned about the reactions of viewers who usually don’t play games. “How do we balance between (the original fans and new audiences)? I can’t quite imagine how the audience’s reactions will turn out. First, I hope they actually watch it, and I’m looking forward to seeing their reactions,” he expressed his expectations.

The Miike version really captures the relationship between Majima and Kiryu well…

Since Majima said, “I won’t lay a hand on Haruka,” Kiryu seems to trust that his brother will really not touch Haruka, leading to some kind of mysterious trust relationship where he lets Haruka go ahead first.

It’s not the kind of uselessness that gets you excited.

I’m the type to feel down.
