While I normally oppose the idea of live action, hearing this is kind of exciting. Sakamichi no apollon is one of the best slice of life animes.

Haven't seen the actual series but things like these that don't revolve around action or anything like that would work in live-action.

a series that actually can works or even better as live action...

Will go and give it a watch when I feel like wanting to see it. I heard very good things from a lot of people which had it in their favorites and all.

One of my favorite mangas and animes. Though they'll have to cut even MORE stuff out of the manga than the anime already did :(

I think this would turn out nicely, especially since josei series have high potential to become good live-action shows/films. It worked out well for Honey & Clover and Nodame Cantabile if I recall.

One of the best Josei I have ever watched. Hope they won't fuck it up!

Sounds interesting. I'll put this LA on my list - because the anime was beautiful. I loved the music a lot.
