It's been a crazy roller-coaster ride of emotions!!!!! I can't stop watching!!! I. Can't. Stop!!!!!!!

You might want to think about posting those reviews in their respective threads..... :sweat:

Actually managed to fit in the first two episodes of Mop Girl.

Interesting premise, but I can see it possibly getting tiresome over ten episodes... Kitagawa Keiko's lead character Momoko is sincere and earnest, but also whiny and feeble to the point of irritation at times.

I like Tanihara Shosuke's character Otomo so far: he's crass, boorish, and a womanizer... And playing to the hilt. :victory:

Thanks, gaijinmark! :say_hi: That's just because I haven't gotten around to them yet. I already have Long Vacation and Sora Kara... on queue, though I'm still scouting around for Gift. Will let you know as soon as I've seen them! :say_yes:

@ kawaiiruna: Yep, I've been hearing nothing but good stuff about Sora Kara..., and I can't wait to watch it! :) I'm just pacing myself because I've just seen Nemureru Mori and don't want to let my viewing satisfaction of one affect the other, having heard something about the two being somewhat similar in theme and plot. (Kind of like how those wine connoisseurs take a little sip of water before sampling a different vintage. :drink: )

Wow, the awards this drama racked up are pretty impressive! Hope it lives up to all the acclaim. :applaud:

@ bmwracer: Thanks for the tip! Oh dear, I hardly consider what I just wrote to be "reviews"--more like little Post-it notes for the most recent dramas I've been watching--hence my placing them in this thread. (Er... the reviews I write are usually long-drawn-out, and not for the faint of heart. :ashamed: Heehee!) I'm still navigating my way around here, and haven't visited the individual drama threads yet. But will do, and I'll see if I can post a review or two there in the coming days. :victory:

Anata no tonari ni dare ga iru ep. 4. My head is spinning. :nut:

Spinning from the mind-boggling developments, or difficulty with the Japanese language? :p

Just a heads up, this is completely different from your typical Kimura drama, not real "warm and fuzzy". For me, the two big stars were Sanma Akashiya and Eri Fukatsu. And check out a young Kou Shibasaki. :applaud: [/list:u]

Both. It might as well be in Russian for the amount I understand ;)

I just finished watching Meichan no Shitsuji, and it was awesome., I'm expecting a second season or at least a SP :D I also think I will start Hanazakari No Kimi Tachi E ....

Mop Girl, Episode 3. :)

Anata no tonari ni dare ga iru ep.5 :bonk:

I had just finished watching Proposal Daisakusen....
I think it was a good drama... :hehe:

Next on the line .....Ace wo nerae and hotelier
Oh and I think I'm gonna continue watching Nana the movie...although I think it's pretty boring.. :sweat:

Mop Girl, Episode 4.

So far, the best episode: A somber, poignant ending.

@Ender's Girl-

I remember my first KimuTaku discoveries.

He's completely fab! :victory:

Im watching anime currently so I'd better leave this thread.

:ashamed:

Mop Girl, Episode 5.

If you're going to watch Ace Wo Nerae, I recommend watching Attack No. 1 instead. Different sport, same story, much better.
