Criticism Of The Live-action Sono Bisque Doll Does Not Stop

The much discussed live-action of “Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (My Dress-Up Darling)”, currently broadcast, has caused great disappointment among Japanese fans, who have expressed their criticism on social networks. The most notable controversy arises from the scene where Marin Kitagawa appears in a swimsuit to have her body measurements taken, one of the most iconic scenes in manga and anime. However, in the adaptation, this scene was drastically altered, with the actress wearing normal clothing instead of the original revealing outfit, and with a much more subdued tone.

Fans have been upset by these changes, pointing out that the live-action has watered down the content too much, eliminating some of the elements that made the franchise so popular among its fans. In addition, criticism of the appearance of the main actress did not wait. Some comment that the actress does not resemble Marin Kitagawa enough, one of the characters most loved by the otaku community.

Even though the live-action is still airing, many fans have already rated it as one of the worst live-action anime adaptations. This situation has also revived interest in the original series, and many are still waiting for the return of the anime, whose second season has not yet been confirmed, but is still desired by a large part of the fandom.

Here are some of the most notable comments from Japanese fans, translated:
