Wow, you HAVE been away from this forum too long!! You've got a better chance of getting an unbiased about communism from Castro than getting an unbiased opinion from this bunch.

^ If and when Geezer starts to watch this Taiga, he can give you an unbiased opinion.

Finished watching Episode 2.

If the Wiki dates are correct, Juri-chan's Go character is supposed to be six or seven years old in this episode....

LOL. :beaten:

So unrealistic but I find out it didn't bother me as much as I though.
It could be worse: men playing all women's roles like in Shakespearean times... :sweat:

Anyway, loved the episode... well, Juri-chan was in every scene. :victory:
She really has found her Gō: although portraing a kid, no trace of Nodame's antics.
Still, the scene where Gō meets her idol Nobunaga was hilarious.
(btw. Nobunaga has another fan. :mrgreen:)

Yeah, stupid question I suppose :P

Finished watching Episode 1 with subtitles... I thought it was a strong, well-done opening act... And rather tragic. :(

Most are well-acted too, especially Ashida Mana. Such a little prodigy.

You mean the little girl who played young Chacha?

I thought she looked like a five-year old Ayase Haruka. :beaten:

Episode 2 subs are out!

http://d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_92078_0.htm :applaud:

Just finished watching Episode 2... Another interesting, well-acted episode, I thought. :victory:

A lot of griping about the age disparity between the roles and the actress playing them, but I let it go, so it didn't bother me one bit... I thought Juri-chan played her wide-eyed, naive girl role perfectly in this episode... Really... Fanboy favoritism aside. :victory:

And props to the guy in Texas who's doing the subs for this series... I hope he can maintain his level of interest and continue subbing the entire Taiga. :fingerscrossed:

Greetings everyone. It's nice to see so many fans of this series. Shout out to bmwracer :woot: who requested the softsubs.

As a huge Taiga fan myself, I understand the frustration of watching a series and then having the subber just flat out disappear midway.

I know this project lasts a full year but since it's only once a week, I believe I can handle it without problems.

With my schedule right now, I think the subs can be completed within one week following its original air time, as long as I get my hands on the RAW and script files quickly. If it will take longer than one week, I will let you all know.

I was wondering what you thought of the series and Juri-chan's performance so far... :)
