Ah, yeah, that'll work... I thought there was a DDL site, but didn't know where it was...

Just watched Ruri no shima ep. 2. :victory:

Solid 10/10 from me. I'll write a review after I eat and work out.

I'm loving it. There's nothing not to like about it :victory:

Golden Bowl ep 3. Enjoying this one, it's more serious than I initailly thought it would be.

Right?! It was flawless all the way through. Even the sad parts make it great because it's that touch of reality.

Kuitan, Episode 5. :victory:

Itadakimasu!

Coffee Prince is being a rightful pain. Although all episodes are .avi files, the ones that are more than 700mb won't work on any of my players, so I have to watch them on the comp'ter. This hasn't happened with any other drama with episodes exceeding 700mb. Bah humbug.

That is one of my all time favs! :victory:

That's what I gave it! :victory:

On to ep 13 of Hot SHot.
The computer animation rocks! :metaldevil:
And I must say those Tiawanese guys have some shale in their booties.

Different type of avi, maybe.... Maybe it's encoded using a different codec.

I finally finished BOSS.

You might be right, Mark. The final three episodes might have been a bit better. But by the time I got to them I'd pretty much decided the series was a waste of time, and those last three weren't enough of a bump-up to make me take any real note.

With liberal use of the FF button I plan on finishing "Double Score" tonight. It is cheezy, hackneyed, and dull. Truth to tell... if I had more shows on my "To Watch" Spindle I'd probably just file the remaining discs away and forget about them. But I'm just not set up to be wasteful right now.

LONG LOVE LETTER (2002). WTF was that??? :headscratch: This is the straaaangest J-drama I've seen (so far). Strange... so very strange... :shakehead: This is what I get for not reading the premise before jumping in. But from the title and first episode (and end-credits song!) you'd think this was some straightforward (read: NORMAL) romantic drama... :rolleyes: Man, I feel so gypped.

@Anime Dad: The Kitchen Macaroni Boyz are here, by the way (sans Eguchi Yousuke, whom you didn't like, and Tsutsumi Shinichi, whom I didn't like). :victory: Tsumabuki Satoshi (he of the acting chops and the perfect face, lol) is terribly underutilized in this drama, with a total screen time amounting to--what, 24 minutes, ugh. :grumble: Yamada Takayuki enjoys a heftier role, and boy, does he deliver (I want to watch BYAKUYAKOU because of him!). He shares a lot of scenes with YamaPi and they're... pretty painful to watch. :beaten: You kinda just want to look away when it's YamaPi's turn to... "emote." :hehe:

I didn't dislike Eguchi Yousuke, I just thought he wasn't the right one for Natsumi-chan ;).

So, Yamada Takayuki got to look into the wooden mirror. eh?

:hehe:

Gomen, heh heh. :bonk: Oh... but you did say you thought him "wooden" at times, ne? :sweat:

:lol: Yeah... poor Yamada Takayuki looked inside and saw his future: "You will do ANOTHER drama with YamaPi before this year ends!" (Oh noes!!! Oh noes!!!) :mwahaha: But, sadly, Yamada wasn't the fairest one of all. :mrgreen: (It wasn't even *cough* pre-pubescent *cough* YamaPi... I thought Tsumabuki handily trounced 'em all in the looks department. :naughty: Even them womenfolk. :P)

Yep, that one was weird as could be. :nut:

But somehow catchy. I did finish it. :beaten:

lol, I think Tsumabuki trounces them all in acting too :)

BTW: Did Yamapi ever go through puberty? ;)

OT: Ruri no Shima, Ep. 3. Takenouchi Yukata, there's a real man for you :hehe:

Blerg. Unfortunately, so did I... with the help of my trusty FFWD button. :twisted: I suppose the Lord of the Flies dynamic among the kiddos could've helped make things interesting... But it's hard to enjoy a drama when you're SO NOT rooting for the male lead, made even more painful by the well-documented 1,000 falling-in-love moments with Tokiwa Takako. :usuck: (I knew that guy was a douche from the moment he appeared. And trying to measure ambient radioactivity using a gold-leaf electroscope from their school lab? Seriously, sensei? Seriously? :rolleyes: It's a wonder the kids didn't shrivel up and die from the nuclear fallout. :bleh: Plus, the actor's weird elfin features and aversion to combs didn't help any. :shakehead:)

Their kiss was nicely done, though... Too bad it had to be with *him.* :grumble:

True! True! :sweat: Tsumabuki = :bow: Yamada Takayuki is a close second--that boy is a natural. :good:

Ask Johnny.

You mean "Yutaka"? :beaten: Oh, yeah, I've seen clips of BEACH BOYS and--I believe!!! :victory: But I know him mainly as Animal Shinji from LONG VACATION, heh heh. :nut:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: and then there are people like me - I really liked that drama! And we would never fight over a guy, I like Kubozuka Yosuke (and his chemistry with TT) in LLL- his hair is whack though :rofl: .

Speaking of whack hair, I am going to watch episode 7 of silly hair show Buzzer Beat, starring Anime Dad's favourite actor.

LOL, maybe the show should be renamed "Silly Hair Show." :hehe:

Then again, it's not the only drama with sill hair. :beaten:

Nope, and for some reason it's often shows starring Eita :hehe:
