My wuv for you grows every single daaaaaaaay!
I was curious about the live action of My Dress-Up Darling. It's decent.
It only has ten episodes with a run time of 24 minutes each. In other words, it has fewer episodes than a typical cour of an anime. Yet, surprisingly, it also covers events in the anime's second season. Despite this, it doesn't feel rushed, nor does it feel that something is missing.
The live-action format clearly shows that a gyaru doesn't look anything close to a white woman. Consequently, a real-life gyaru looks and seems a bit less attractive. That seems to be the case with Nagase Riko, who plays as Marin. To be fair, she captures Marin's personality well.
The live-action format is also better when showing cosplay. In anime, they don't really stand out. In here, they look otherworldly.
Personally, what I love seeing in this adaptation is how the actresses who play the sisters, Juju and Shinju, look gorgeous.
Anyway, as already mentioned, this adaptation mostly covers the anime's first season but also includes some events in Season 2. This is great because it shows the themes of both anime seasons. Season 1 shows the drive and discipline to pursue a passion; on the other hand, Season 2 shows that some people will accept you no matter what your interests are.
The bottom line? This is a solid adaptation of My Dress-Up Darling.
