Abarenbo Shogun [れん坊将軍] Rating: 10/10 I happened upon this show purely by accident on a local PBS station in New York in the 90's. Unfortunately, it wasn't on at a regular time so I was always looking for it. I had forgotten the name of it until I found it again when I googled "shogun". I was looking for more info on the mini series with Richard Chamberlain. I saw that mini series and I was looking to buy it when I saw Abarenbo Shogun on the list!!! Now I'll have to see if I can buy any of the episodes. | Ashita no, Kita Yoshio, ~Sekai Ichi Fuuna Otoko no, Kiseki no Jyuuichi Nichi Kan~ [あしたの、喜多善男〜世界一不運な男の、奇跡の11日間〜]
| Bambino! [バンビーノ!] Rating: 10/10 (Watched) I first saw Matsumoto Jun in HYD and at first it was Oguri Shun that caught my eye. By the end of the story, I was smitten with Jun. So, of course I looked to watch every show with him in it.
Bambino! was a great story. Even though it was predictable...even though there was no real love story...I thought Jun did a fantastic acting job starting out as a conceited know-it-all who gets smacked down a couple of levels when he realizes he's not as good as he thought and grows into someone who has the desire to do what he has to do or go where he has to go to become the chef he always dreamed of being.
I would love to see a sequel to this where Bambi comes back after a few years. His ex-fiance; is now living in Tokyo, having been transfered from her job in Hakata and now she is someone else's fiance;...Bambi takes a job as head chef somewhere in Tokyo where she walks in with some co-workers. He begins to remember their dream of opening a restaurant together and decides he will stop at nothing to get her back...*sigh* in the end of course, you see them standing in front of their new restaurant, admiring it. Yeah, that would be great... |
