Wondering what all the hype is about I watched the 1st episode this afternoon followed by tonight's episode. I must say I'm moved with this one so far. :puppydog: I'm definitely looking forward to next week's episode.

@Takoyama: yep, same here. Slow, and steady momentum buildup.

looking forward to the 2nd episode which you already have seen!

I think the pacing of the story is right on.

Spoiler — click to reveal

I was feeling rather sad watching the scene where Shiratori sensei learns he's at stage 4B cancer. Very tough

Is anyone subbing this? It looks to be the pick of this season's offerings.

I think someone posted on d-addicts that they'll be doing the doftsubs for this. I want to watch this badly!

me too!
Kuramoto Sou's work are always lovely.

Subs for Ep.1 are up at d-addicts http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_66575.htm

Another series I have to download :sweat:

:patpat: I know what you mean - we need clones who go to work for us :mrgreen:

I am quite lucky though, as I have unlimited DL capacity, but maybe that's not really a blessing :beaten: -> to much drama, not enough fresh air.

For those who can't download from torrent, somebody has posted the direct links over at jdramas, here: http://community.livejournal.com/jdramas/2478175.html#cutid1

I used this site. They have dozens of great dramas. And they are all on megaupload or rapid share. no stupid BT slow downloads. Was able to download Kaze No Garden at my best speed. You have to join live journal which is no problem.

I 'm not going to watch it until I know the subs are complete though :(

I rarely watch one episode until I have them all. But I wanted to make sure I wanted to invest the time to download all episodes. So far Kaze No Garden has my attention with the added bonus of the number one actress Kuninaka Ryoko which alone pretty much qualifies it a must see.

The other actors are pretty good too. :doh:

Yeah, i'm looking forward to seeing Ryoko-chan in this too :)

Ryoko-chan didn't have much screen time in episode 1 but I thought she was one of the highlights. She plays the daughter of an important patient of Shiratori sensei. It's only a minor character in one of the subplots, but there are similarities in her situation with Shiratori sensei, I guess later on ... she will probably play a prominent role in one of the episodes.

Ryoko-chan is also in Celeb and Binbo Taro this season. She has a more important role, and plays a brighter and likeable character in that one (from first episode impression).

AD, I have started downloading this and will send you a copy when the subs are complete.

Oh, and I really like the song and voice of Hirohara Ayaka in episode 1 too.

Kaze no Garden is really recommended in my book! They've got real good actors, and I'm particularly impressed with young Kamiki Ryunosuke's autistic turn.
