I'm a couple of episodes into "Sailor Suit & Machine Gun"

Mmmm. What to say about this series. It's a cute little flight of fantasy. A few people die, and suddenly a "normal" little High School girl, with no idea that her family is connected to a gang, becomes the head of a Yakusa Clan.
It's a little gang. A poor and noble group of gangsters that only works to protect people. Something along the lines of the "nice" gang menbers in Gokusen.
Well... it's family TV.
Anyway, our sweet new Gang leader, Nagasawa Masami is probably the reason I'm not sure about this series.
She's not much of a gang leader so far... and to be honest, she's not a leading lady. Talent and skill wise... she's more the back up singer type. And that's a problem.
Tsutsumi Shinichi as her #2 in the gang is carrying the show so far. And if the writers stick with him and let him play, this could be fun. But who knows at this point.
The frustrating thing for me is finding out that this show is a remake of a show from 1982. And the lead actresses in that one were Harada Tomoyo & Fubuki Jun.
This dorama had one hell of a lousy introduction. I hate how they approached the main plot. The barely was any chemestry between Yui and Yusaku nor did they look like they loved each other, all they did was eyeing eachother, and then suddenly Yusaku's character screams out on the street saying that he loves Yui and gets married in the first episode!
The first three episodes were so daymn boring all it showed was a house with 3 spoiled brats that kept whining all the time!
Though with this theme it could've been more touching but i guess some of the problems especially in the first episodes was skin-deep and a bit cliche. the youngest doesn't wann go to school, turns out they still have a no-good father. And the thing is, the problems that happens in this dorama, when the problems are childish, they get really childish you'll actually laugh when you're not supposed to, and when the problem is serious they get really serious.
I guess it's a family dorama, nothing special, but it's definitely not below average and i think it was worth watching. It gets interesting and has a good progress starting from episode 4.
Well to me, it was worth waatching just to see Nagase Tomoya acting mature as a father :hehe:
first of all, Shibasaki Kou :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
This dorama reminds me of Tentai Kanzoku , but with less serious and less mature but more touchy problems. and it actually reminded me a little of Jose the Tiger and the Fish :hehe: , but Sae isn't nuts. A very beautiful dorama indeed, i enjoyed it very very much. the introduction was amusing yet the plot was very original. I also love the character development. I guess i love everything from it. Well some parts made me go :dotdotdot: becoz of all the sign language, but what surprisingly those parts were only a few eventhough it had so many sign language conversations.
The script is what i like best from it. I can't imagine how they came up with such script. The progress was excellent too. And again, i must say i don't regret voting for Tsumabuki Satoshi. Young but talanted. I just loove all the casts. And it became more addicting after episode 7 where more problems show up, closer to the climax. Beautifully pictured and nice songs too. Still, i think a few parts went a little too slow. and Ueno Juri's (she really looked like Utada Hikaru when she was young) part was so small.
i was surprised when Spoiler — click to revealSawamura Ikki = trouble showed up.
9/10
overall, a very very memorable series! and it definitely has one of the best endings ever!

Well I was gonna start over when I came back from Europe, but you recommended plowing through. So I'll finish and then watch again. Tho I do have a drama that Ralph wants me to see, so we'll see how it goes.
I have been watching a good drama last year but I stopped before the end (no internet for a while :puppydog: ) and I just don't remember the name !
It was the story of a japanese rock girl who wanted to become a flight attendant. Do you have any souvenirs of it?
