Ouran High School Host Club Episode 1

Exaggerated XD

So... I realize I probably won't enjoy this drama much because I've seen the anime before and now I CAN'T stop comparing the two, but just out of curiosity I wanna watch the whole thing.
I would've liked the drama a lot more if they made it at least a bit more realistic. I love the anime, but those specific movements/fx should be kept in the anime only. They try too much to copy it that it looks silly. They should've only followed the storyline and it could've become a great jdrama.

Besides, it doesn't make sense that they copied almost all the lines from the anime, but they couldn't even keep some of the characters' original personalities. Kyouya wasn't supposed to be this warm. And Nekozawa wasn't supposed to be so involved with people either, not at first anyway. And don't even get me started on their appearance... If they had absolutely no attractive characters to choose as hosts, at least they could've kept their original hairstyles. Tamaki was supposed to be a blond! And Honey as well! Haruhi is the only attractive character, seriously.

Tegoshi Yuya would've made a great Honey and Kamenashi Kazuya could've easily been Tamaki. Aaaaand Uchi Hiroki would've been great as Kyouya. I really picture the cast of Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge as the host club *-* They would've all fit so well.

Maybe it's just me, but I can hardly focus on a drama if there are no attractive characters at all... Ouran is only entertaining if you don't take it seriously and just enjoy the silliness. It might also help if you don't watch the anime before the drama...
