so recently the live action adaptation of golden kamuy got released on netflix. i started watching and im about halfway through it so far, and im really enjoying it! the characters look almost closely similar to the manga, and the scenery, location and stuff are all really great too imo. what are your thoughts?

I liked it alot! i think it hit all the important and iconic moments and even had some moments i thougth they migth skip, but I was pleasantly suprised. The actors did a good job and the animation for the animals looked great.

I thought it was good and faithful to the manga. My only real gripe would be that the tone/humor was dialed down to give the Live Action a more serious feel, in my opinion. I think that it was most evident with Sugimoto, who I consider to be often cheerful and silly, especially for comedic purposes.

I also had a chuckle with Ushiyama the Undefeated notably wearing underwear when he's with the sex worker in his introduction, but that's an understandable censorship/consideration for the actor.

I was impressed with the sets and costuming; and I was delighted that the night scenes were brightly lit, too, so it was easy to follow what was happening. I do wish Sugimoto's scars were a bit deeper, because they did look like they were drawn on with red pen at times, but Lt. Tsurumi's head injury looked great. Would be happy to watch a second LA adaptation, because it seems they intend to do one.

i miss some of the iconic faces from the comedic moments but it was good for all it was hoping to do.
shiraoshi actor got me cracking up.

It was good but when the goofy character scenes are not there...golden kamuy is not really gold
