Shizuku Kuroe's cosplay recently shown in the series has been the trigger for a new wave of criticism. On various forums and social networks, comments have gone viral where fans complain about Nagase's appearance and the general quality of the production. Users have pointed out that live-action fails to capture the visual essence of the anime, something that many consider essential in an adaptation of this type.

- «Photo-edited cosplay and a video drama don't mix well».
- «Since I am homosexual, I like his masculine appearance».
- «His shoulders are too wide».
- «I guess it was only idealized in the 2D version. In reality it must be something like this. It has realism».

- «It only looks robust in close-ups, yuck. It's not fair if they don't show full body photos».
- «If they continue to criticize so much, the cosplayers are also going to jump on them».
- «Could it be that the bone structure of his nose is somewhat masculine? When I cover her with my fingers, it seems easier to recognize her as a woman».
- «Seeing it in motion, it looks kind of cute, but in the screenshots it comes out wrong.».
- «Women on Twitter are saying not to criticize the actress's appearance, but her job is to sell her image, so it's normal to evaluate her».
- «At least they won't go so far as to put a man disguised as a woman, so he's safe.».

- «In theory, it should be easy to make a live-action adaptation of this, they wouldn't have to remove the cosplay aspect».
- «The leading actress must also be having a hard time. He probably couldn't turn down the job his agency gave him».
- «If they are already complaining with this level of production, they will not be able to make any other live-action adaptation. Also, what's up with Gojo-kun? That hair helmet has nothing to do with his character».

- «Many people just came to complain without even trying to enjoy the series».

Despite the complaints, the series continues to move forward, but the criticism shows no signs of going away. Some users have even mentioned that the production seems to be trapped in a cycle of destructive criticism, where any detail is cause for complaints. «They are already at the point where anything they do will be criticized.», opined one fan, suggesting that the production could be suffering from a bad reputation that feeds on itself.
The controversy over casting selection and visual fidelity to the original characters raises a common question in live-action adaptations of popular anime: Is it possible to recreate the visual fantasy of anime in a realistic format? In the case of “Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru”, it seems that the response continues to divide opinions between those who prefer the animated version and those who defend the live-action efforts.
