IWGP 11 is out. Thanks to SARS

awesome, i'll watch that finale after dinner tonite :mrgreen:

finished Okusama wa Majou

greatly acted. fabulous. a very fun dorama. this is the best sponsored dorama i've ever seen. Yone-san in cute clothes every episode. thumbs up to every cats especially Yone-san and Natsuki Mari. Natsuki Mari's acting style for this role is irreplaceable.

But, there's one thing lacking in this dorama. A solid plot. The connection between each episode is very weak. Eventhough each espisode was fun, the weak connection between each episode makes you not wanting to watch the next episode right away. IMO, this dorama is not a one-sit type. You'll enjoy it even more if you just watch 1 episode a day... like after the exhaustion at work/skool, and all you want is just to wrap your day by having dinner while watching an episode of Yone-san's fun performance :hehe:

9/10

I agree.

It's like the original TV show: not one continuous story (other than the underlying human-witch story), but a lot of individual stories... A problem with adapting something from TV, I guess.

Watching Tokyo Friends ep 2.

around 37:54 into the drama. You can hear one of Dream's song being played. Its not very loud...but noticeable still.

Song is My Will if anyone is interested in knowing that.

:woot: :woot:

Japanese....Japanese...... :grumble: :grumble:


Jap is a term we don't use here since its an offensive word.

Please refrain from using it in future posts.

Saw episode 7 of Kekkon Dekinai Otoko today.
I'll never understand Abe Hiroshi's hearthrob status (he just looks average to me), but he is super actor, if this drama's anything to go by.
He's brilliant at giving these scornful looks, and looking awkward.
He really makes you want to know what makes his character the way it is.

Re: "Dari Yori mo Mama wo Aisu"

I really enjoyed it. But you should know up front, I'm a huge Yuki Uchida fan so I was biased going in. And I'm a sucker for the Renzoku shows. They're comfort food for me. So they were gonna have to do something really bad for me to say anything other than I liked it.

I liked it.

This one was a bit more "high concept" than most of the others. A renzoku focuses on a particular family and follows their trials and tribulations.

"Dare..." wanted to take all the stereo types of the members of an ordinary Japanese family... and turn them on their ear.

Dad is a stay at home house husband. Mom doesn't cook and clean, she's a lawyer. Their children don't seem to fit into the classic roles.

As with all Renzoku's, if you like... if you care about the people by the 3rd episode, you'll like the show. If not... the story probably doesn't have enough depth to carry it on it's own.

By the way... the next door neighbor, Kobayashi Satomi pretty much steals the show.

finished Umizaru last night.. not a bad story, though the previews at the end of the episodes are spoilers and i highly suggest not watching the previews.

what should i watch now...

One of the best dramas out there! :thumbsup:

Dohmoto Tsuyoshi freaks me out... :beaten:

LOL! Yesh, but only HE could play Shinoda Natsuo. I still think he plays the best character I have yet seen!

Men in their 40s are way sexier than men in their 20s. :drooling:

Thank you so much for this! I think I'll enjoy it. I enjoy family-related dramas. I'll let you know what I think when I get started. :thumbsup:

BAH! Dare Yori has a scratch on it so I have to reburn it... which I prolly won't be able to do until I find the box I stored my blanks in. :pout: Right when I was excited to watch it, too.

I guess I have to move to the next drama in line: Lunch Queen.

Hi!

I just finished watching Kisarazu Cat's Eye, and I have gotta say that it was pretty much great :applaud:
Although the main plot, about the main character's Cancer, could make you think that there won't be much comedy in the series, it's quite the opposite.
The whole "illness" thing is taken pretty lightly and is just a mean to justify the crazy ideas showed...
For everyone that didn't take a look at it yet, I think this a worth watching Dorama that could easily hook you up :victory:

Kisarazuuuuuuuuuuuu cat's CAT'S cat's EYE!
