Ahhh!!! The horror! The horror! :shocked: :bleh:

Teru Teru Ashita...similar genre, but i would not classify it horror by any means....i watched ep1, subbed, it just came out, and it is probably light mystery-ghost story, not that scary...so far...
not in the realm of ringu movie...not even close. :bonk:

you know what they should make a dorama about?

engineers - u never see many shows about it :P - i mean, if they can make an anime about Go that captivating, who know's what you could do with engineering :bonk:

yeah i've never seen a dorama about an engineer...well koi ni ochitara with tsuyoshi was about a guy who was a Computer Science genius...but i guess CS is a bit more "sexy" than engineering. :bonk:

hehe, probably ratings - same goes for school dramas, medical dramas, dying of terminal-illness dramas, news show dramas

there seems to be a lack of original content these days

here, here....where did all the fresh content go...maybe the screenwriters ran out of weed.

i doubt that will happen....japanese advertisers rely heavily on celebrities to endorse their products...if you bump off their shows then it will disturb their advertising model because it will be reducing visibility of said entertainers.

there actually are j-tv shows that are reality based...

Koisuru Hanikami(Honey Coming), a dating-reality type tv show.

Ainori is another j-tv reality show.

and probably loads more, and off of d-addicts too.

good :woot: but they really ought to not just continue to re-hash the same stuff

on a side note, i think i need to tighten my rating system again - i think i'm getting far more picky nowadays than i used to be :hehe:

They need to clone many more Kudo Kankuro ... the screenwriter for Tiger & Dragon, Kitsarazu Cat's Eye & IWGP. That guy is a genius. Like the synopsis for Kurosagi so maybe clone the screenwriter for that one too. And then they need to bring out the director, screenwriter of Hana Yori Dango and have them shot.

just finished watching Gal Circle, with eng subs. :thumbsup:

so far this season i've watched epi 1 of ...

-Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru
- Team medical dragon
- Kurosagi
- Gal circle

dl-ed but havne't watched : Nananin no Onna Bengoshi and Bengoshi no Kuzu (these 2 the cast doesn't attract me so much... maybe i'll watch during the no drama times in June~ like when i watched Jikou Keisatsu)

dl-ing : Top Caster
havne't dled but want to dl -> Attention please~


out of the 4 i watched.. i think i like Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru best haha~ I'll still watch Gal Circle cuz it's pretty funny but i guess the moral thing is getting a bit boring...

Kurosagi i'll definitely watch cuz there's Yamapi (even tho his acting is so so only.. the story is oK.. but quite fast paced so not too boring) and the preview looks pretty good this week~~

Team medical dragon is so-so~ i might if i have time~~


what are u guys gonna watch this season!?!?

qilver wrote:interesting that some of the cast members of the new j-drama Teru Teru Ashita, were also in the 2005 j-drama Ame to Yume no Ato ni. Kind of a mystery/drama/ghost story. Not freaky as it seems, Ame to Yume no Ato ni was a story drama mainly between the father and daughter. Teru Teru Ashita, Tomoka Kurokawa, she also played the lead in Ame to Yume no Ato ni.

so far i like it, and the first episode was subbed :woot:

Really!?! Thanks for the info. I loved Ame to Yume no Ato ni. :woot:

Yes, very talented. I hope you'll enjoy it. My sleeper hit. :D
