I enjoyed it much more than Orange Days... Abe Hiroshi was brilliant and near-unwavering in his role. :thumbsup: and I was equally impressed with Natsukawa Yui's (award winning) performance... Overall, an 8.5/10.
Hmmm...what makes you subtract the 1.5 pts? I thought it's darn near perfect :thumbsup: Can you list the ones you rated 9 or 10?
I just watched Seikei Bijin episodes part of 3, 4, and 5 and it seemed to all blend into one, so I don't remember which episode is which.
Anyway, I liked the bentou that Honami made for Hanaya-san. The tongue sticking out what just priceless. :rofl:
And I would love if someone held a pro wrestling match only for me. That would be sweet! :mrgreen: But the match in the show made me think, "I thought the pile driver was banned," but then again, I think that was only banned in the US. (ok, now I'm kinda embarassed to reveal that I used to watch wrestling :shamefulcry: )
The part where Spoiler — click to revealRyohei confessed his love for "Honami" was really cute. I guess his making trouble by calling her names and such in the past was just an school boy way of liking her, regardless of her outward appearance .

Ohhhhhh good point. I wonder if there is a movie review thread...
Tho, to encourage more discussion, you could just make a STMB thread, or whatever movie thread, like they did for Swing Girls.
I don't think I'd be the right person to start a thread dedicated to just one movie or drama because my taste always changes and I doubt that I'd keep up with the discussion because I always move on to the next series. I prefer the idea of a movie reviews thread because that way it isn't about just one movie.

I'm exactly like that. Sometimes I shocked that drama threads are still alive after the shows been out for like a year. :beaten:
Yah. I had to fork over some money to get that TRICK DVD set and it was risky too~ :bleh: Numerous people gave the seller bad feedback here at Jdorama.com. But I took the chance since it was the only subbed version in existence at the time. Then Ruroshin encoded it and upped it to D-A.
TV Nihon is also subbing it right now. http://www.tvnihon.com/

I wouldn't worry much about maintaining the thread in any way: It's existence will allow people to chime in whenever they feel like it... :)
There is a Japanese Movie Recommendations/Discussions thread that you can use, but you'd have to go through each page to weed out a particular movie to discuss...
Just go for it... Or I can start the thread for you... But you shouldn't feel hesitant to do so yourself. :)
