HUNTER ep 8.

I'm watching Ohitorisama, and it actually pretty good.
Mizuki Alisa as a 33 y/o female teacher at a high school but the story is not
about the students, much like the so many "school doramas"
that are ,or were, so popular.
Its a funny and cute story and I'd recommended to anyone looking
for a light-hearted, feel-good series.

This could be rough sledding (pun intended) looks like it's going to be one of those over-coming-all-odds-backs-to-the-wall-no-tomorrow melodramas. It didn't help that the first episode was about 1 hour and 40 minutes long!! I'm halfway burnt out already!

Those big boys stole the show.....sorry, I mean the dogs.

Finished Byakuyakou. Very interesting plot. I enjoyed the first four episodes and the last three, but Ayase Haruka's character pissed me off in the middle episodes. Other than that, it's a pretty good drama.

Recently finished Zenkai Girl and yesterday Ranma 1/2 SP,
it was an Aragaki fest.

I liked them both, I'm wondering if Zenkai will get a special/movie soon...seems to be the common thing for series now.

They sure are. And even though I know how the story turns out,

It didn't make it any easier to watch when the first dog died

:puppydog:

Time to start watching Hunter, now that all the episodes and subs are in. :victory:

Currently watching:

Kasaifu no Mita
There's a few plot holes in this one, and I dont feel the acting is as good as it could be (with the exception of Nanako), but I have enjoyed it nonetheless. Mostly curious how they will wrap up Mita's character.

Nankyoku Tairiku
Great production, cast and acting, but somehow its not quite as good as I feel it could have been. Tremendous focus on the dogs, somewhat predictable and a little melodramatic. Good though.

Love Generation
Finally took a step back to watch this one. One of the few of the top 20 on the Top 100 list here that I havent seen yet. Absolutely loving it.

Up thru episode 9 on this one, I agree, they could have cut down the first two episodes. Way too much over the top on all their obstacles (a lot of which probably came from the writers' imagination). But like Eyeyore said, the stars of this drama are the dogs. :applaud:

Deka Wanko is in the books, turned out to be a solid police drama, more serious and less wacky than it appeared to be, ended up being a real enjoyable watch. Had wanted to watch Otoko no Kosodate next, don't think it's subbed anywhere though so gotta take a pass on it so think either ROMES or Celeb to Binbo Taro will be up next. :nut:

JIN, Episode 11, Part 1.

Lots of crying, lots of melodrama... Glad it's almost over.

Why did Kim Jong Il die in this ep?

Apparently. :shakehead:

What a way to spend Christmas :angry:

First the dogs make me cry......now Nanako-san is making me cry too. Maybe Yasashii Jikan is still the best drama to pass Christmas peacefully.

(Just to digress, anybody knows Kim Jong Il's real height?)

I heard it was 5-3... 5-8 if you count that Cosmo Kramer hair. :beaten:

Yup. I wonder how many dogs in Japan are being named Riki, Taro or Jiro. Although,

When Kimura first meets back up with Taro and Jiro it looked to me like the dogs were trying to decide which part to start eating first!

Oh no, suddenly I am reminded of the Japanese anime "The Dog of Flanders" :mecry: Owner and dog died on Christmas Day.


(Digressing again: Isn't Eternal Leader Kim remarkable? His photo and video are ubiquitous in the media, yet even wikipedia can't tell his height........ :rofl: )


Just finished Ep8 of Doctors. Funny, as usual.
