I'd second K.T. Tran's comment about checking out Kinpachi Sensei if you want to see Aya Ueto do anything worth watching.
Unfortunately (for me) she hasn't delivered on the promise she showed as an actress since then.
I've seen a bunch of her dramas and movies, but I haven't seen anything that couldn't have been done as well or better by any other fairly pretty girl dragged in off the street.

Or Phinn, and all the others who frequent the Aya thread. :sweat:
Never been there. :hehe:
Probably because I agree with Geezer. :rofl:
Just watched the first episode of Ruri No Shima. It pulled me right in. Narumi Riko is fresh and appealing. Yutaka Takenouchi is mysterious.
I like it!! :thumbsup:
Plan to watch the last two eps of Nobuta Wo Produce which I am happy to say has not disappointed so far!
Nobuta Power!! :victory:

Oy, gonna be tough to find an old jdorama like that one - been meaning to look for it (especially with all the comparisons with GTO)
I respect Geezer's opinion.
I actually agree with Geezer that Aya hasn't really put up a wonderful performance as she did in Kinpachi Sensei and like in KKK 2003.
I guess its mostly because of the character's that she was given. Like in Ace wo Nerare, her character was portrayed more towards the cute side.
Her movie Install was a tad odd, maybe because I didn't really catch the story to it, but her character didn't require much acting. Even Fukada could've played that role :sweat:
@Shindou: I can help seed the Kinpachi Sensei Eps for you. I can ask Boris to help out too. I'm getting the last several eps from him right now.
I should have up to ep 19 of Kinpachi Sensei. Gotta double check if I have Eps 9 & 10 on CD. My brother put it somewhere :beaten:

That would be great!! Take your time though, my HD is getting full again :hehe: so I'll hv to work on getting stuff onto DVDs the next day or two.
Are the torrents up somewhere? I don't think I saw season 6 torrents on d-addicts.

Ok. I'll take my time with it. I'll seed 2 eps at a time when I start. PM me when you're ready. If you use AIM I can try sending the eps to you that way to see how fast it goes. If slow and problems occur, we can go with BT.

The ones you want are the ones that just says Kinpachi Sensei
Just finished the first 3 eps of Ruri No Shima.
Compelling story. Ogata Ken and Ichige Yoshie are lovely in their roles and the Island scenery is beautiful. :thumbsup:
