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

LOL, he does seem to have the mad hair market cornered. :hehe:

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

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

It should because I always end up getting distracted by his hair ^^;;;; it'll be a serious moment in the show and randomly I'll think 'gosh is hair looks terrible' lol

I just watched episode 5 of Orthros no Inu :: bounces :: how exciting XD

If you're smart, you'll skip Gokusen 2 and 3... Total story retread with different Johnny's...

yea i'm pretty disappointed in that.. i actually was lookin fwd to gokusen 2 until i read that desription that it was pretty much the exact same thing as the 1st.. i don't understand that.. they even did the exact same story 3 times?? i duno how that can't be repetitive -.-

And it would've been *marginally* enjoyable... if I were FIVE years old, that is. :grumble: Sitting through this series I kept feeling like frikkin' Bill Murray in GROUNDHOG DAY, y'know? You're forced to relive the same episode over and over and over again: The boys in 3-D are mean to Yankumi! Yankumi gets tough on them! The boys get into various scrapes/fisticuffs with the bad elements of society! Yankumi saves her "precious students!" The boys learn Valuable Life Lessons! Like... Obey your elders! Choose your battles wisely! Learn to appreciate your teachers! Follow your heart! (Hahaha)

haha i agree somewhat.. i mostly watched the series to find out what all the hype was about.. i admit it was entertaining.. it just got friggin repetitive and then got to a point where i couldn't take it anymore but i just wanted to finish it =P

Totally agree. :victory: although i watched it because of "those overly-coiffed miscreant students" :muack: , i fairly enjoyed the show and as you said, the idea was fresh and appealing. i would have watched a second series if it was about the same students (honestly, i think they were best ones out of whole 3 series :dancing: ) but in non-school enviroment/real world that had something to do with Nakama Yuki too.
ok, this happens when you let your imagination runs wild. :nut:

yea.. i wish they continued with the same students.. or they coulda been more creative with yankumi's yakuza background or i duno.. jus do something different to add a twist to it at the least...

watching Long Vacation... though i am enjoying it.. it does seem a little bit overhyped. i'll reevaluate my opinion though when i'm done with it.. i'm only on episode 4 -.-

Aww, come on... You're missing out on some good dramas.

: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: .

Ah. So that's his name, huh. :hehe: He's your type? Hehehe, I guess we have our turfs marked out, then. :victory:

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

:rofl: Lolllzzz... A.D.'s going to have a field day--er, a fit when he reads this. :naughty:

Oh lordy, WTF is with that BUZZER BEAT(ER) hair???!?!? :bleh: Did YamaPi's stylist kill a small furry mammal and drape its brown, matted carcass over the dear boy's head??? :usuck:

bmwracer wrote:

Hahaha so true! :hehe: But you gotta admit, Eita had normal hair in LUNCH QUEEN! Mebbe that's why I didn't even realize it was him... :headscratch: Speaking of "mad hair," Kimura's Afro (er, Jap'fro? :mrgreen:) in CHANGE was pretty lethal. :nut: At first I thought it was a wig, then I learned it was his own hair, permed (and then straightened!) for each episode (ooohhh... how very "method," lol). That man's hair is sooo fried by now, it's a wonder it hasn't all fallen out in clumps. :bleh:

I think they wanted to make the Yakuza angle as benign as possible, considering the school kids and tweeners that (presumably) made up the lion's share of the viewership. I mean, Yankumi's gramps is portrayed as this kindly old man who couldn't hurt a fly, but I all the time I was thinking, "He's a frickin' mob boss... how many people has he killed?" :shakehead: But then pretty much everything else in GOKUSEN is trivialized, so it's easy to see why the writers glossed over this "little" detail (Yakuza! = Organized! Crime! Syndicate!). :rolleyes:

He did in Summer Time Machine Blues as well... :victory:

:hehe: I still haven't worked out if they think "Hey, we need an actor that will do mad hair... call Eita! He's our man!" .... Or if Eita gets the roles and then thinks "Hmmmm, this character needs some mad hair action..."

What, Eita is in Buzzer Beat? *innocent look* might be worth watching after all ;)

Ender's Girl wrote:

You mean "Yutaka"? :beaten:

Yeah, him :D

OT: Ruri no shima ep. 4.

With all this talk about gokusen...You know I never really watched it. I tried watching it once and it just wasn't cup of tea.



Right now i'm currently watching Call center no koibito ep 5

Disclaimer: Eita is not in that drama, Yamapi is, therefore Anime Dad should not go anywhere close to this drama. EstherM refuses to take any responsability if Anime Dad turns blind after watching Buzzer Beat.

I wonder and I hope it's the latter. :victory:

OT: will try to finish Hataraki Man.

The first season was watchable, since it was a novel idea, but the seconds and third seasons are just retreads, like watching season one with a different cast. :crazy: :shakehead:

Any early opinions about Mop Girl?

I'm liking it, of course I really like Tru calling, which was very similar. Though the main character (Mop girl herself) gets hit an awful lot.

Yup.

Her squealing started to grate on me, though... I really liked the Otomo character a lot, mainly because I think Tanihara Shosuke is a good, though underrated actor. :victory:

I agree, plus I dig his hair.

LOL, me too. :victory:

He has the same 'do in Seikei Bijin and Koi ni Ochitara. :mrgreen:

Koishite Akuma 8 (looks like 9 might be sad :S)

I watched all of the Kdrama called Snow White soooooo glad the main girl eventually got rid of that horrible hair do and horrible glasses, I knew she'd look really pretty without them
