Yasashii Jikan ep. 8 & 9. It just gets better & better. I don't understand why some people don't like Nagasawa Masami in this, I think she's ideal :)

A.D.

I don't know that so many people disliked Nagasawa in Yasashii Jikan.

I dislike her in just about everything I've ever seen her do... but I found her the least offensive in Yasashii... mostly because her character was silent for most of her scenes.

If she doesn't talk... if she doesn't act at me... I don't find her particularly offensive.

On to my viewing:

I tried to watch Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo (2005)

Kamenashi and Ueno Juri.

But I kept waiting for their stoner friend with his talking dog to show up.

I got about 30 minutes in when even the FF button failed me. Had to give it up.

I think the material, the directing, and the quality of the actors around her helps a lot. I don't even mind Nino in this. I haven't seen her in anything else yet so I have no preconceived notions of her :)

*sigh* Dohmoto Tsuyoshi has always been the best Kindaichi anyway. Kame just pales immensely in comparison.

I thought the casting and direction were superb. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I wore the ink offa my FF button on this show too... The best part is when Juri-chan flips Kame's lame arse through a floor... That merited numerous replays. :victory:

Lol, that tanpatsu was pitifully bad. :bleh: I remember my best friend telling me, "It is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. Everyone's just sucky because the material is."

:rofl: Then Gackt and Gollum oughtta record a single together, a ten-minute opus of tongue clicks, hacking coughs, and dry-heaves. The title -- Gackt to Gollum: Seishun Amigo. :hehe:

Kimu come back to your roots... more Pride, more Love Generation.... :doh:

Yes, KimuTaku, come back, come back!!! :fingerscrossed: Nobody does Romantic Drama Lead better than that guy.

Hmmm... for me that "horrorific" is a fair toss-up between CONCERTO and ASUNARO HAKUSHO. :usuck: MR. BRAIN wasn't execrable bad, just... forgettable, IMO. The worst episode for me was the "Doctor Death" episode. Soporrrrrriffffic... :drooling:

OT:
GOKUSEN 1. G1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> G2 :sweat: Definitely less frenetic and less cartoonish than G2. (And the 3-D classroom looked so... normal, unlike that pigsty in G2.) I actually found myself emotionally involved at some level--the Kumai boy's story in particular. And yeah, NOW I understand why there are like, 1 million YankumixShin shippers (...and why the Kame haters increased by 1 million when the movie came out, lol). :hehe:

I am vindicated. :mrgreen:

How you could skip G1 and watch the others is beyond reason. :sweat:

Heh heh. I knew you'd say something like that. :rolleyes:

Well, I never would've picked up G1 by itself, because the premise didn't appeal to me when it was aired locally a few years back. I guess I didn't really know what I was missing back then. :bonk: But like I said before, I only got into this whole GOKUSEN thing because I'm a Kame completist. But for all of G2's flaws, I'm just thankful it pointed me to the original. :victory: And don't worry, I'm staying off G3. No reason for me to watch that one. :P

It was so... strange seeing MatsuJun and Oguri Shun in G1--or their beta versions, at least. :hehe: So... this was what MatsuJun looked like, before the advent of eyebrow threading and orthodontia. Interesting... :twisted:

Have you watched Kimi wa Petto? He did that right after Gokusen.

Watching JIN 3rd episode. I think I'm in love.

@ralph- I miss KimuTaku as a romantic lead too!

@Ender's Girl- Glad to help you with your grammar. :hehe:

Love the idea of the Hackt/Gollum single! :victory:

What is eyebrow threading anyway? :headscratch:

OT: Buzzer BEat ep 2.
There is a certain deranged pinkness to it all. :beaten:

LOL. :hehe:

That drama must've had more hair stylists than production crew staff. :sweat:

I put in King's Restaurant the other night intending to watch for 20 minutes or so and ended up watching all 4 episodes on the disc. It was great. :mrgreen: There were a lot of little things, with continuity and characters' development, that I don't remember noticing before.

Just watched Hitotsu Yane no Shita cus well its a classic and i remember vaguely watching in bck in the 90s when i was still like 5 or 6 with my parents. Really good and sakai noriko as koyuki was FANTASTIC,,so cute when she ws young :dancing: :hehe: :woot:

Should I watch KwP? :victory: Heard about it, though.

Falling in love while watching dorama--yeeeah, it's been known to happen. :mrgreen:

Yes you should if you like the idea of a weirdly cute human dog melting the heart of an Ice Queen with his brand new fixed set of teeth. Also it is kind of amusing to see Jun so submissive :whipped:

on topic: JIN episode3 with subs AKSJDHKDGFJKGKJHFKAHGH

:lol:

Cold shot.... But painfully true. :rofl:

LOL, I shoulda became a dentist and moved to Japan... A goldmine. :hehe:

Just finished Jin ep 3. I'm really wondering how they're going to end this. Isn't the manga still running? Will they make up their own ending or have more seasons in future?
