I don't enjoy doramas for their cute leads and whatnot like I see a lot of people do. This drama was pretty entertaining if not particulary stimulating in any sense.

This may have been the most interesting drama I've ever seen. This non linear story makes this drama so outstanding. Maki is so good as Nobuta in this dorama. Such a strange dorama... makes it even more interesting. I hardly ever saw a so beautiful view of Friendship. Indeed deserves the best.

Best drama for me, so far! I always preferred adding a little love or romance spice to any drama but the purity of the relationship between friends as well as family in this drama is simply amazing, I totally forgive the lack of clarity about the romance. Acting is great! How can you ever forget their lines??? They're so unique!

At first I thought it was an overated dorama, but after watching all the chapters I can say that I truly understand why is in the top ten!!! Lovely dorama which shows the importance of friendship and a great cast and a good ending, maybe the opening animation could be better , haha

Fall 2005 was when I started watching Jdramas on a regular basis and I was spoiled rotten with the likes of HYD, 1LoTs and my favorite of the three, Nobuta wo Produce.
Awesome cast. Tatta Hitotsu no Koi and Sapuri were godawful but Kamenashi Kazuya gives a standout performance as Shuji.
Yama-pi's performance was completely offbeat but extremely entertaining and equally outstanding. So many classic catchphrases. Horikita Maki also did a great job. Could not believe she was the same person who played the role of bi&chy sister in Densha Otoko.
Supporting cast was great all-around.
Awesome soundtrack with that distinctive Yoshihiro Ike sound.
Excellent/innovative camerawork and cinemetagrophy.
The ending was subpar but the story overall was magnificent.
This will always be one of my favorite dramas even though the actors involved particpated in horrendously crappy works such as Kurosagi and Tatta Hitotsu shortly after. hahaha.

Yamashita, Kamenashi, and Horikita are awesome! I actually didn't know if I would like Nobuta after the first episode (a thought Akira was an obnoxious character and that the show overall was just a little too weird). Boy was I wrong. If you feel the same after ep 1, stay with it. It won't just grow on you, you actually be addicted. It's that good. Kamenashi is great as popular but flawed Shuji, and Yamashita works perfectly as oddball Akira (who becomes surprisingly philosophical as the show progresses). Finally, Horikita plays Nobuta as well as anyone could. Great performances all around. Don't miss it.

A well-written and inspiring story of friendship between three misfits who find themselves and help one another as their popularity rises and falls.

mr_dreamboy · 20 Nov 2006

above is the feeling i recieve when watching this drama, it is extremely entertaining, with side plots left and right, it never really gets to a point, however with every episode you watch, you get more into the drama. If you are looking for entertaiment this is the drama for you. ja na!

jchurch · 19 Nov 2006

maybe i would have like it more if i was still in highschool dealt w/ the usual adolescent themes: identity crisis & alienation, though no real love triage in this one. i cant see how this won the 47th Television Acadamy Awards for best drama. must have been a bad year for dorama.

monta · 17 Nov 2006

Surprisingly good. Some parts felt absurd.
The ending was so so. Probably the best Yamapi acting ever...
And i'm so glad this wasn't just another dorama about a class filled with brandals trying to be 'better' since there are already so many...

Watching Nobuta Wo Produce, I found that it had a great deal to offer. For someone who is new at school would usually get along with eveyone however Nobuta did'nt as she was separate from eveyone else. She has a different lifestyle from everyone else at school. So this is where Shuji & Akira come in, where they try to make Nobuta the most popular girl at school, however it's a big shame that I never had a chance to see the last 2 episodes, but I'm sure that they ended well.

For some odd reason it was addicting to watch. At first I was like "great.. it's boring" then I realized i was a little too quick to judge. When Kame blamed the fish for why the willow tree is gone is just hilarious. For me it was some-what refreshing. ^_^ maybe i'm just being a fob.. ehh

pipipi · 4 Nov 2006

Love this drama. Excellent because it made me laugh. Like, a lot. asdf;lkjjk XD

Most enjoyable Japanese drama I have seen so far~

jankuangel · 16 Oct 2006

are so cute!
absolutely loved this drama~ rewatched certain parts :]

Hiro Toyo · 24 Sep 2006

A couple of key things make this drama different: a pretty original plot and different directing. This makes the drama unique and stand out from all the other school dramas which i feel has been overdone in recent years.
This one is not too extreme like Stand Up, but not too traditional where it's always a teacher trying to inspire some gone-astray students.
The plot isn't that one-dimensional and at times throws in a few surprises here and there. Also, the cinematography is great, and has a comic-book touch to it.

hmm_yeh · 19 Sep 2006

This was hilarious. I wasn't fond of how Shuji looked, he was far too feminine for my eyes, that's why I had to lower the rating [no offense to those who love him]. But Akira is ridiculously adorable!! I can see why this drama had a high viewership.

nikegurl · 13 Sep 2006

Watching this movie make me always think to have 3 best friends that always encourage each other. I love Akira.....
