maria sama ga miteru live action full movie

Set in an old, wooden building, with creaky floors and small rooms, there’s a festive air of not-too-much-but-just-enough verisimilitude about the recreation of Lillian Jogakuen. I liked that Sachiko starts to touch Yumi without realizing that she’s doing it. Sachiko and Yumi are almost instantly lovable, IMHO. They even have a separate building on the campus in which they hold their meetings.Ī chance meeting, an opportunistic photograph and a set of silly circumstances around the school play contrive to change Yumi’s life forever.Īs I commented on my original viewing of this movie in Osaka, the actresses were each picked for a specific quality, so it was very easy to see “Youko” or “Sei” in them.

This is no small matter as the Yamayurikai are known for being beautiful, smart and somewhat remote from the rest of the students. Maria-sama ga Miteru is a story about average high school girl Yumi, as she’s suddenly, unexpectedly drawn into the doings of the Yamayurikai, the Student Council of the school. Being the bad otaku I am, I only bought the DVD, so missed out on some of the extras in the Blu-Ray combo set.

The good news for overseas fans is that Amazon JP still has both the DVD and the DVD/Blu-Ray combo in stock. As several people have noted, this was not easy to find on shelves, as it had pretty much sold out in pre-orders. Many, many thanks to the efforts and sacrifice of Bruce for making it possible for me to buy this movie in Tokyo.
