I was browsing the net just a while ago when I bumped on this article at Japanator. It states that the world-renown anime Haruhi Suzumiya no Yuutsu will finally have its live action series broadcasted all over the Japanese screens.
The picture below shows the cast for the said show. Familiar faces include Kenichi Matsuyama (L – Death Note) and Erika Today (Misa – Death Note).

Opinions:
- It could’ve been better if Aya Hirano got the role I think. But I’m gonna have hopes on the Haruhi live counterpart on this series.
- Nagato – too cute
- Erika Today will most probably project Mikuru more than any other artist in Japan [the way she portrayed Misa, I think this is something to look forward to].
- Wah. Kyon = L. Laaaaaab~!! <3
- Japanator’s right; it’d be very interesting to see how they will look with their costumes.
- All in all, this show can pull a lot of Haruhi fans at the pilot episode and may get a whole lot more if the series will be a big hit in Japan and throughout.
haha for one the characterization of Haruhi isn’t that so good, but I hope the character Internalization would make up for it.
As for personal preference, I’d like to have Arisa Mizuhara play haruhi Suzumiya instead. haha.

Hahaha! I’m still having doubts over Arisa since I haven’t heard her voice yet. -_-

Hmm..
I always thought of Koizumi-kun to be the most attractive, yet they pick this.. well, less-charming actor to be him.
I think Koizumi should be played by someone hotter! xD

I agree with Mana-chan I would of pictured a live action Koizumi to be a real dream boat this guy seems kind of goofy looking….
