Series Feature: Kyou Kara Ore Wa! (2018)
If you ask me what one word would best describe this whole series, I'd pick wild without even batting an eye because it really is. Kyou Kara Ore Wa! is an action-packed series that will send you crying out of laughter. If you're into slapstick comedy, this will definitely be your favorite.
The show features our two main leads who after graduating middle school decided to be reborn by changing their hairstyle. Their boring life suddenly turned into an action-packed one as both of them made their own resolution to become the best delinquent in Japan with their new hairstyles. New hair, new life indeed. We've met a lot of strongest student in highschool already but have you ever met a delinquent who doesn't even know how to be a delinquent? For me, this is a fresh approach to this kind of genre. And the main reason why this show is funny as hell. The way the two tries to exaggerate their way of speaking just to sound delinquent enough still gets me every single time. The actors really did a great job at re-enacting every scene like it was straight out of manga especially the facial expressions. If you're familiar with manga turned live-actions before, I am sure you're familiar already on how actors must exaggerate their expressions but since this is a comedy show, it works very well especially when it's our blonde delinquent who does it. All his expressions are just pure gold I'm already laughing just by thinking of it. I don't plan on spoiling anything though so I'll stop right here but trust me, you will burst into laughter while watching this. There are jokes that might turn you off though so you can just skip those. You should note though that it's a remake from a 90s manga and jokes like that were pretty common during that time. Sad fact.
If we talk about the cinematography, I must say it's pretty decent. The long shots are beautiful and it captures the mood perfectly especially on the later part of the series where the story has deepened. The camera-work really didn't have to go all out but it still did anyway. If you're soft-hearted, you might cry because of the way the scenes were shot. I don't have much to say about the music because it's just your typical comedy drama. For me, it's enough that the sound directors knows what and when to add for each scene. It worked well and it helped the show become extra fun especially when it's the delinquent duo's time to shine.
Overall, the show is really fun. To tell you the truth, it's one of my personal favorites. Don't expect something serious though because you won't get it here. This is for people whose goal is to just laugh and have fun.
