Densha Otoko [電車男]
Rating: 2/10
bad - stopped after 2 episodes - after that I gave the movie a try (bad as well) - then I red the translated original chat messages and they are great. Both drama and movie do not capture the beauty of the story at all. | Dragon Zakura [ドラゴン桜]

good - though quite dry early on it gets better in the second half | Futatsu no Spica [ふたつのスピカ]

Holyland [ホーリーランド]
Rating: 5/10 (Watched)
average - It started great, the tense atmosphere, the weakling who gets drawn into the yankee world, all clear improvements to the manga it was based on. But with every episode it becomes shallower and comic-like. Also the lack serious injuries is perplexing, as is the lack of morals on the writers side. | Hotaru no Hikari [ホタルノヒカリ]
Rating: 2/10
horrible - stopped after 5 episodes - had a lot of potential (good story and support characters) but it all comes down to how good the main actress can deliver. And sadly Ayase is horrible in this. Her acting looks so unnatural and forced in my opinion. What a miscast... | Houkago [下課後]
