arigatou gozaimashita!! somehow the layout looks creepy to me..rather the drawings i mean.. :hehe:

I just saw episode 5 RAW. How many days does it takes for the sub to go out ?


Why does the drama only plays on Thursday! With the popularity of this drama, I see more lgbt storylines in the future. Is this drama the highest rating this season?

It depends... Sometimes in a day, sometimes more... We're at the mercy of the fansubbers.

Uh, because it's a weekly series...... :sweat:


Just watched Episode 5:

Lots more dialog, so it definitely needs the subs... :sweat:

That said, I'm officially sick of the whole Michiru-Sosuke thing: I had to hit the fast-forward button... Both characters are sickeningly pathetic now.

Takeru's reaction to Eri's advances must've been a totally planned deja vu moment: it was identical to Ruka's reaction from her motocross coach... And he was drunk like Eri as well...

im delighted on the good things Hikki said about Juri-chan!!
i like the part where Juri-chan came to watch Hikki's live performance as well as she told her how an avid fan she is.. that's just sooo cute of Juri-chan!! :mrgreen:
even Hikki's amazed with the great transformation Juri-chan does as Ruka!! yay!! so proud of Juri-chan!!! :applaud: :bow:

Yeah, this role sure is getting Juri-chan a lot of positive feedback... :victory:

From one butch to another :beaten: Butches stick together!

If there is a cute girl that look like Juri and is in love with me, I would totally turn gay for her. :smitten:

LOL

Wouldn't you?

I'm a guy so I don't have any problem with Juri loving me. I think beem might get upset though :beaten:

^You are a lesbian in a man body then. :mrgreen:

It's irritating, but Michiru owns up to it (which you'll see in the subs I guess).

Spoiler — click to reveal

At the end, Ruka is telling her that she needs to become stronger, but Michiru says that she's a coward... then goes into saying how Ruka is amazing, strong, has a loving family and has talent. Then she says she's a coward again, and (probably because of) that she knows Sousuke's weakness.

She's aware of her weakness, and the only person who can do anything about that is herself. She's still teetering, but I think this is a very realistic portrayal of how most people are.. when you're attached to something, unless you're strong enough you can't just walk away from it. And outside parties can't force you to walk away from it either... though it looks like Takeru attempts to in Episode 6.

We already know that she becomes strong enough to walk away from it all since they showed us her present-day self. I'm glad that, in spite of being incredibly irritating and getting old fast, they're showing us how she handled things before.

Also, as far as the big death goes:

Spoiler — click to reveal

I think it's pretty much between Takeru and Sousuke now. With Michiru saying u‚»‚Á‚¿‚Ì‹ó‚Í‚Ç‚¤Hv(How's the sky over there?) in the beginning episode, and Ruka saying she wants to go to America to chase her motocross dream in this episode. Unless something happens if/when Ruka decides to go get that sex change, I guess?

I got that feeling, but I wasn't sure... I re-watch when the subs show up.

I agree wholeheartedly, but still it's awful hard to watch it transpire... Like a helpless onlooker. :sweat:

I think sometimes that's exactly why we like dramas and shows - we get to witness but not matter how hard we try, we can't influence - there is a kind of vulnerability (a quality which I argue is crucial to any really effective media)

Random stuff, my japanese teacher wrote me a mail in which she commented Last Friends

Last Friends ha chotto kowakute kawai sou

:mrgreen:

As for my comment... I dunno this whole Michiru-Sousuke thing is getting more pathetic in every episode.

Spoiler — click to reveal

And what did Sousuke do to Michiru in the end? I guess he didnt rape her, because she would definitely seem more sad after that, wouldnt she..?

I was getting a bit annoyed of Michiru and Sousuke's relationship too... I'm just glad that in the last episode you finally learn why she loves/ sympathizes with Sousuke
