I rewatched Orange Days again. Probably more than 7 years since last time. It doesn't grip me like it did. I was overthinking it last time. That was a great ending. I forgot about it.
About 10 episodes into Manpuku. The writing is very ordinary but the cast made the characters come alive. I expected more from online reactions, hope it gets better.
Just finished week 5 of Hiyokko. Actually I started watching more than a month ago, but it's starting to get really good now. Yoshikazu Okada really does conversation better than anyone else. The depiction of farm and factory work feels a bit sugarcoated, but I guess that's how asadoras are.
Radiation House :dancing: I really enjoyed this. I used to think a radiologist job is just to read x-ray.
In Hand :nut:
Ore no Sukato, Doko Itta?:tolerance:
Omiai Kekkon :rofl:
Ninkyo Helper: I must be bored.
Watching Anata no Ban desu. Pretty intriguing murder-swap mystery, which apparently has not only a season 1 and special, it's now going onto season 2 :applaud: Can't wait to see how it all unfolds (again).

Could you please tell me (without spoilers :sweat: ) whether there's some sort of "closure" at the end of the first season? Or does it go on without explaining anything and only making the mystery more and more complicated?
Many TIA! :victory:
p.s.
Stuck around Week 10 or 11 of "Amachan"; I really couldn't care less for all that "idol" stuff... :bored: :grumble:
Does it go on for many weeks? :beaten:

No closure, as the story continues in the special and season 2. There is a surprise in the last episode of season 1, which is the reason why season 2 exists.

Thanks junny! I'll wait until it properly ends before watching it then! :victory:
Still stuck in the middle of "Amachan" (I read the synopsis, found out that the idol stuff is gonna stay until the end of it, and I'm afraid I lost interest atm)... :grumble:
Almost finished with "Bungaku Shoujo" which is only "meh"... :sweat:
Finished "3-nen A-gumi: Ima Kara, Mina-san wa Hitojichi desu": WHOA!!! :shocked: :applaud: :bow:
I knew that whichever dorama I watched right after "3-nen A-gumi..." would be at risk of faring poorly in the unavoidable comparison, so I decided to go with one I deemed bad from the start so as not to "ruin" any potentially good dorama, and maaaaaan, did I choose accurately: "Love & Farm" is even worse than I'd expected. If we asked Kumeta-sensei (the guy who did "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei") to make one of his crazy recaps, it would probably be something like this:
"Six members of a talent agency hide in the Hokkaido countryside, masking their true identities and posing as students from an agricultural faculty. They're spotted right away though, and at the farm, instead of being welcomed with cow dungs and all kinds of smells, they are showered with pink overalls, rainbows and unicorns. Their reaction is ruthless: first they invent the least efficient way ever to move hay from one place to another, then they purposedly injure one of the cows, forcing the farmer to sell it to the slaughterhouse. All the while, aliens hide in the shadows and conduct experiments on them every night, making them up and doing their hair while they're asleep".
Or something like that, LOL. :mrgreen:
BAD-BAD-BAD!
I doubt I'll manage to finish it...
(whereas I might give "Amachan" another chance - I read that the last weeks are supposedly very good...)
Watching "Kinpika" and "Kakegurui" (it's K's week, LOL) and liking 'em both, so far...(whereas I watched "Chanpon Tabetaka" and found it a missed opportunity)
"Finished" "Kakegurui" (I write "finished" 'cause actually I had no idea that the two seasons would be wrapped up and given a proper ending only in the subsequent movie, still unsubbed atm... :grumble: ); better than I had expected it to be, though I reserve my final judgement only after I'll have watched the movie too.
Almost finished "Kinpika", it started well but lost its charm right away due to a dull script, imho. (it seems like a silly American TV series, only with Japanese actors: lots of appearance, too little substance)
Started "Princess Maison", surprisingly good so far, given the übersimple premise - but then again, this proves my previous point: a good script can work perfectly without music/photography/artsy editing/Parkinsonian camera movements; the other way around just doesn't work...

Dropped watching I Turn,Fake Affair,Runway 24,Chase - very poor story lines
Seems like we have pretty similar tastes! :victory:
Except "Nagi no Oitoma", the titles you're watching are all in my "to watch later" list (I prefer to wait until I'm sure that they're subbed completely :beaten: ), and apart "I Turn", none of the ones you've dropped interests me... :woot:
p.s.
Finished "Kinpika", total let down as far as I'm concerned.
Started "Saki ni Umareta Dake no Boku", I'm liking it so far...
Finished "Saki ni Umareta Dake no Boku": it gets a full 10/10 for its many merits (very interesting plot, beautiful message, great performances by the leads - Aoi Yu and Sakurai Sho - and by part of the supporting cast - most of all, Kazama Morio and Kinami Haruka - btw, too bad Morikawa Aoi's role is so small :shamefulcry: ) and despite its defects (the naiveté of some details - active learning is indeed a great tool, but it's not so easy to implement it, particularly in a high school environment, as shown here; the terrible performances given by Arakawa Yoshiyoshi - the guy can "play" only ONE character, and that's what he does *every single time* in *every single drama*...ANNOYING!!! - and by Takashima Masanobu - compared to him, even Dick Dastardly from "Wacky Races" was a credible, realistic and sober villain! :bleh: )
p.s.
Started "Koi ga Shitai"...the 1st episode seems interesting... :victory:
