Doesn't the first sentence contradict the second? :headscratch:
If there was arguing and agonizing, it couldn't have been that light.
All I've seen so far is spirited debate and discussion, no name calling or personal attacks... If this forum were to be sterile and lacking in opinion, it'd be pretty boring and ineffectual. :bleh:
All I was trying to say was, it doesn't matter if you like something that somebody (or even everybody, for that matter) doesn't like. It's all a matter of taste.
Ah okies. :headscratch:
I actually have no preferences in anything. I'm anal about watching everything, so bad reviews rarely turn me off. Plus I like coming to my own conclusions.

Wouldn't it? I guess next time I need clarification on genres, I'll just look it up myself. :beaten:
On Topic: I finally saw Yo Kimiko in Atsu-Hime, and she really WAS hard to recognize. If I didn't already know it was her I wouldn't at all. Mind you, knowing it was her, I definitely recognized her voice, since it's so characteristic.
Spoiler — click to revealI'm actually quite nervous for Okatsu! Her husband-to-be is a bit odd... but as a viewer, I'm quite intrigued by him. I love how he speaks in metaphors.

"Toshie & Matsu" is terrific as well.
That series totally hooked me on the Taigas. It was the first I'd seen. The acting was so wonderful from the entire cast. The scenes realistic and lavish. :applaud: For you Yutaka Takenouchi fans he plays a supporting and very cool role in this. :thumbsup:
@Geezer and Ralph- Thank you both for your input about Atsu-hime. I appreciate it. Personally I like hearing everyone's opinion. And not whitewashed ones either. I also look forward to posting my own. ;) :hehe:

I think you'll like it for the same reason I'm liking it. Just a hunch. ;)
Watched some more episodes of Itsumo Futari de today. I like the actors and the characters but it's still hard for me to picture the couple as becoming more than friends. They do such a good job just acting as friends that I can't see them as a romantic couple. We'll see.

Thank You.
OT: Mei-chan no Shitsuji ep 6, it continues to be silly/absurd but it's fun to watch, a good stress reliever.

If you have it, you obviously haven't watched it yet, if the subs were anything like the copy I have. Totally unintelligible Engrish. We had to re-do the whole lot :sweat:

Im not sure if the torrent is still active... I can seed it for you. Or, PM me and I could probably send you some DVDs. I have all the eps and havent even watched it yet :D
