Naturally, unless they casted foreigners then 0% and for Maria is 0% regardless, of course there are wigs and hair dye to compensate for that.

"Just try to imagine 3D kobato-chan. It's just wrong."
"Please ignore what you don't like instead of attempting to disrupt it."
Oh wow. I'm not sure whether it's more sad or lame. As for the movie, once again, this story might work as manga or novel but it will be disgusting and very disrupting as movie.
When will people learn that its NEVER a good a idea to adapt an anime into live action?
When we watch anime, we are willing to overlook the absurdity, but thats hard to do with live action, look at the Ouran Highschool live action for example.....uggh

Found this in another news article related with detailed explanations from the author related to movie:
Translated by SGCafe:
To my readers,
As this time around I can’t just go “eh, what the heck?” and feign ignorance about everything [with regards to the Haganai live-action film], I’ve written this slightly long response that I would greatly appreciate if you could sit through without skimming ahead.
That the movie’s existence was outed by a recruitment ad for extra/calefare actors is incredibly “dasai” [lame] (I will not use the word “zannen” [unfortunate] here, which is an important keyword used throughout the Haganai series) but what’s happened has happened so, yes, production on a live-action movie based on my work, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, is currently on-going.
The offer to make a live-action movie based on my light novel series first came to me in June of 2011. At the time, production work on the first season of the anime series was also going well, so it had been a very positive period of my life.
Personally, I’ve always thought that the scenarios depicted in Haganai were never really meant to translate well in a live-action medium, so if you were to ask me if I was for or against the live-action movie, then I would say, without a doubt that I am against it. That said, the offer came during a period of time when I saw that the future of the light novel industry was getting dangerously bleak, and so I thought, “rather than fight over a small pie (marketshare) with other authors over and over, this is a rare chance me to break away from the industry’s status quo of excellent authors forever burying one another’s successes with their next excellent release. The live-action movie could bring into the light novel market a new audience (on top of what the manga, anime, and game adaptations are already doing), so shouldn’t I be taking a bold step forward with this instead?” That was what I remember to be my thought process at the time, and so after a period of deliberating I went ahead and gave my stamp of approval on it.
Now that the anime adaptation is well into its second season, if you were to ask me about what I thought about the decision I made back then, well, it’s already too late as a great deal of industry folks have already pushed forth with the project. As there really is no point in me commenting about that [whether I should have let the movie project happen or not], I’ll refrain from doing so.
Moving on, with regards to whether or not I’m personally involved on the production of the live-action movie or not, this time around the circumstances are quite different from when Haganai was adapted into a manga, an anime, or a game. Unlike with those projects, I am a complete amatuer when it comes to the live-action movie scene, and I do not know which folks are the truly passionate people in that genre, so this time around I’m taking a completely no-touch/hands-off approach. I’ve entrusted the project fully in the hands of the live-action movie’s production crew.
Given my personality, if I were told the details of what’s going on with the project, chances are I’ll feel like opening my flap and intervening, so I’ve asked the editorial department [of Media Factory/the publishing label MF Bunko J] to not keep me in the loop with regards to progress on the movie’s production. Accordingly, that means I do not know anything about the script for the movie, or its casting details. (Although I have checked with the editorial staff, following the movie getting outed, and they have confirmed for me that the so-called “leaked” casting details currently circulating on the Net are completely false).
I have but only one thing to say to the movie production side: “you do not have to try and re-create the light novels’ scenes and details faithfully, if that’s not very possible. Instead, all I want is for you to make a great and interesting movie, independently.” I eagerly await to see the finished product from these professional filmmakers.
… Okay, this has went on long enough, so in summary, “I have no idea what kind of movie the live-action Haganai film will turn out to be. To all of you my faithful readers, if you’re interested in the movie, please do watch it.” That’s pretty much what I want to say.
Lastly, I do also need to ask something from all of you.
On Twitter and various other platforms, I’ve noticed that some of you have been calling for production of the live-action movie to be stopped. No matter how much the news of this live-action adaptation displeases you, I hope that rather than to try and crush it, that instead, if possible at all, I hope that you would simply ignore it. This applies not only to the live-action movie, but to the anime, manga, and the game as well – everything that’s based on the original light novels.
Even if it’s not possible for you to put a lid on your displeasure upon seeing these adaptations [not living up to the original work's quality], there is no need to force yourself to accept them [as part of the Haganai franchise].
There is no need to watch something that you do not want to watch, and if it’s something you really hate, I think it’s okay to just continue hating it. But please do not go out of your way to destroy or crush something simply because you hate it, for that is evil, and something that I believe I’ve written about time and time again in my novels. I have faith that you, my readers, will understand.
Personally, I’m a big fan of light novels, anime, and other 2D mediums. And so, to be perfectly honest, I would be lying if I said that I’m not worried about the live-action film. That said, as to whether I approve or regret my decision two years ago [to let the movie happen], I will reserve final judgement on that for when the film is finally complete and after I’ve actually sat down and watched it.

In this case, it's more adapting a light novel to live action, rather than anime to live action. That said as you've brought up a manga example which didn't work so well, other manga series such as Nodame Cantabile and GTO have respectable live action adaptions in addition to their anime adaptions. Plenty of J-drama of variable quality solely are based on manga adaptions as well. HBO looking to adapt Monster into a live action series would likely go very well if it actually happens.
I do agree that this source material would be a poor choice for a live action adaption, film or TV. As a stand alone movie, it would be a poor choice even if it was an anime movie (although a finale like thing could potentially be done, but that isn't a standalone work, as it would be concluding the TV series). But just because there are plenty of poor adaptions out there does not mean that there is never a way to make a fine live action adaption of a source material which typically goes to anime.
Will they still use the voice of anime voice actors/actresses for this live action?
I am sure fans got used to the anime voices... It will be unpleasant if the voice changes let alone the 3D appearance... But at least voices will make it closer.

That doesn't even make sense... do you people understand what a live action movie is?

That's a stupid question. But then again, I never fully express my opinion for the live action. Meh, I'll just forget that this kind of adaptation exists and never touch it.
Oh the hell with it. Just give us the next novel and third season.
This.
Honestly, I don't care if they make a live action version of it. I'm not going to watch it.
I don't plan to watch either, I don't really like the idea of one of my favorite's being ruined by what will most likely be terrible acting. For some reason it dosnt feel right when anime is turned into real life. Apparently we should just ignore it though. Instead of working on this they should just work on the novel so we don't have to wait three years for S3.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?
I'd love to see something like this. Yukachi in a sister/nun uniform and HanaKana dressed as Reisis VI whatever would be brilliant. I can't really see this happening, however..
I'm kind of nervous about this one. I mean it doesn't bother me to the author to expand the franchise. But looking at how the series is done passing to live action would be kind of awkward. I may be wrong, but only time and when it comes out we will see.
My best wishes to the crew who is making the project.

Jeez this not the first anime/novel/manga to get a live action movie , fucking get over it don't watch it no one is forcing you..
I am 100% the comment from the author wasn't directed at you.
Could be interesting. Japan is sucky at action series adaptations, but their SOLs on the other hand are very good. Try watching Japanese or Korean dramas, you will understand.
