What dramas are you currently watching?

Nice. :)

It has mixed reviews, but the cast looks nice. I guess I'll have to wait to find out.

yeah mixed.....i like yuko takeuchi though...she's so adorable. i'd give it a try though...i watched part of the first epiosde thinking they would sub soon so i held off but i guess that looks like that's in doubt now.

Just finished watching Seija no Koushin. A very dark drama, not good for those with depression. But it's worth watching. You will cry for pity to those abused characters. Unforgettable performance by the cast, especially Ishida Issei :bow: .

Studio Oto no longer exists...they've merged their members into SARS Fansubs b/c eltinator said the demands on his time, given university coursework, is too great...but they did say they will continue projects that are outstanding...i would probably suggest patience because it aint' going to happen anytime soon.

Suck. :bleh: :grumble: Im really bummed now. I just jammed through the first 6 eps. of Ruri the last two nights.

If it'll help, yeah. :hehe:

I think this has already been make clear, but what the heck. I enjoy being annoyingly redundant.

ELton had to close down Studio Oto because he started college and no longer had time to keep up his subbing schedule.

He did, however join the SARs subbing project, so he's still in the game.

As to the stuff he started, but hadn't finished at Studio Oto, he assured everyone that he'll finish those shows off eventually.

To that end, he put out about 6 episodes of various series over the Christmas break.

Oh, and a personal note to any of the Aya fans I may have annoyed.

I wasn't comparing Aya to actresses like Norika Fujiwara or Kyoko Fukada. Attractive ladies with serious acting deficiencies.

Aya showed that she had some talent early on in her career. She just, in my opinion, hasn't done anything worth watching in a very long time.

I suspect it's because she's become so popular. She's having to divide her time between dramas, recording, touring, modeling, doing commercials and whatever else her management team can find for her to do.

Something had to get short shrift, and I guess they decided to let her acting career go on the back burner.

I've been watching Saiyuuki, Fuji's H.R. Pufnstuf version of "Journey To The West", and after 4 episodes... I think I'm done.

I think the actors are doing a pretty good job, and the colors are bright and vivid... all the better to get kids to watch.

But I'm not impressed with the stories, or the lessons they're teaching.

For these stories to have lasted so long, there has to be a better version of them somewhere.

just noticed that SARS put up the first episode of Ikebukuro West Gate Park, subbed. :woot:

Kubozuka Yosuke and Kato Ai. Haven't seen those in ages...

yup.

watched a episode of yaoh lastnight.
found it kind of boring.

up to ep 8 of Love Story, though the soft subs are only up to ep 6 :mrgreen:

Wedding Planner; Finished 2 episodes. =T

I think I'll alternate with another one. It's not that good and not enough Rina screen time to keep me watching a few episodes in a row. :mrgreen:

tabana,

I really enjoyed Wedding Planner, but if you're watching it for Rina Uchiyama you really are going to be disappointed. She's only in a couple of episodes and only for a very short time.

Wedding Planner gets better as you go along I thought. There are some kind of surreal aspects to it.

I finished what I have of Ruri No Shima. Sad I have to wait till the end of the school year for them to finish subbing it.

Only have another 20 minutes of Nobuta Wo Produce before I finish. Fell asleep last night and missed the end.

Not sure what to watch next. Maybe Attack #1 or maybe go Tiawanese with The Prince who turned into a frog.

Thanks guys. Glad to know it's a good drama. I'll keep watching it. :D

It's not that I was watching it for Rina, but it was kind of slow at first. Like many shows I've seen, I guess you can't judge the whole series by only 2 episodes. :sweat: Abe Hiroshi is in it and I liked every dramas he's in. The ones I remember anyway. :mrgreen: I'll watch 2 or 3 episodes tonight.

aaa to bad. I''m a big fan of Rina and was thinking of watching this
Rina rulez. Does anyone know if she is doing a new drama??

I know she did Ooku hana no ran in 2005. I think someone told me it was good, but I can't say for sure.

Although, she won an award and as far as I know, it's the only drama she did in 2005. It must be good then. :)
