Unmasked Noise (2017)

You know what I loved about this movie? Besides Shison Jun who was mah-rvelous again, of course? That there weren't any villains in this. There was no backstabbing, no hidden agenda, no spite. They were all honest to gosh good people, a sight rarely seen!

Even though Mio loved Yuzu, she helped Alice and taught her how to sing. Even though Haruyoshi loved Mio, he wasn't jealous of Yuzu, he wasn't angry at Yuzu for Mio's lack of interest. Even though Yuzu's writer's block was hindering the band's breakthrough, his friends did not pressure him. And Yuzu and Momo, your usual rivals in a love triangle and yet, when Yuzu found out who Momo was, he wasn't angry at him and when he realized how much Momo cared for Alice, then despite loving her himself, Yuzu tried to make her dream come true and get Momo to acknowledge her! And then, when Alice confessed to Momo that in the meantime, while he was gone from her life, she fell in love with Yuzu? Momo stepped back with no drama and no pressure. That was so lovely and actually mature!

What a feel-good movie! It made me feel all mushy and fuzzy on the inside. Exactly what I needed tonight!

Although I've seen quite a lot of negative comments I personally really liked this movie. I haven't seen the anime or read the manga so I don't have anything to compare it with, if I had watched the anime before watching this maybe I wouldn't think this version is that good. I've actually rewatched it twice already, it's become my comfort movie honestly. The acting was pretty good overall I'd say, I thought that the actors played their roles rather well. If you're looking for a nice relaxing watch this is a good movie for it. The story is simple but enjoyable. Overall I really liked it :)

Story: I was a good story I only missed a lot of the original manga. Beside that the story was cute and I like it!

Acting/Cast: I like to actors in this drama. I wish they cast a smaller person to play Yuzu. Now he was longer that Nino a little weird to see that. Still like the actor who played him. I think some of the scene were a little off for me. Overall I like the acting work and cast.

Music: I love the music in this live action. I just love it so much. The feels! I prefer Nino's voice in the anime. but this live action did a great job too. I love the last song it was so awesome!

Rewatch Value: I probably will not re-watch this live any time soon. I like it for what it was. It just not that good as the manga and anime!

Overall: I like this live action. It wasn't great but I was okay in is own way.

The story, plot, and music of the live action movie for Anonymous Noise resembled the anime. It followed the proper sequence of events and transitions. The music utilized in the movie was similar to the official anime sound tracks from the insert songs to the background music. The live action movie did a remarkable job in mirroring the anime to an official real life movie.

I was surprised about the choice of the main actress for Nino though. From the trailers, I already realized that the girl wasn't authentic Japanese. They chose a mixed Asian as the protagonist. She is half Japanese and half British. Her facial features like her face shape, eyes, and nose didn't resemble a full Asian girl. There's a lot of lip syncing too since it tries to use the audio from the anime. Overall, the live action did an amazing job following the anime's plot, and music.
