Geezer wrote:Boy, if this show is planning on endearing itself to me I wish it would get on with it.

You might be waiting forever, Geez. :sweat:

Of all the episodes, I think episode 9 is the best... And it doesn't involve the main characters. :beaten:

That's great. :beaten: I watching it too. I'm on ep 6. I don't find it too bad, but it's not something I could finish in a day or two.

I'm still trying to think what the hell are they going to come up with for the other half of the drama. I sense filling coming up. :sweat:

Hanayome to Papa & Tantei Gakuen Q

papa to musume nanokan ep 2
very funny.... :hehe:

Yagyu Conspiracy, Episode 9.

finished Wedding Planner - an amusing drama - Iijima Naoko really shines in this one altho her roles in other dramas have been quite solid as well

I've stacked my summer dramas more than I ever have any other season yet, lol.

Currently watching / downloading / viewing:

First Kiss
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
Papa to Musume no Nanokakan
Ushi ni Negai Wo
Yamada Taro Monogatari

That's not including the Sentai shows of Gekiranger and Kamen Rider Den-O I've been keeping up with all year. Thank GOD that summer TV in North America is absolutely horrible, because if this were the fall I'd be screwed!

I'm trying to picture your room: screens stacked up to the ceiling, all playing at the same time, your sister banging on your door, your brother above you looking like your avatar, your parents setting up camp in the backyard, and your pets reported missing. Am I close?

(BTW: Vive les Francophones)

LOL!! Now THAT would be hilarious. If only I could afford the screens....*rubs chin*

Naw, I actually have a pretty good system laid out for the setup. Since I'm still fairly a beginner in Japanese, I have to rely on subtitle releases to truly enjoy the shows (though I do try to watch the Raw if I'm impatient), so I limit myself to 1-2 shows a night on my Media Center PC hooked up to my TV in the living room. Keeps me on schedule to finish the seasons simultaneously, yay order! :victory:

But I will admit that though I've only been in the 'jdorama scene' for a little over a year now, this summer season has been one of the best I've been active in thus far, which is why I've got so many on my playlist, heh.

But I'll let you know the moment I snap and strap people to the chair to make them watch these shows. Maybe I should hold a summer camp to get all these people brainwashed on reality shows to know there's quality television on somewhere in the world. :twisted:

Nope not a Taiga... This action-drama aired in 1978.

See the Yagyu Conspiracy thread... :)

Out of that entire list, two of them haven't been subbed past their first episodes yet (First Kiss & Ushi ni Negai Wo). So out of the other three, I'd say Hanazakari no Kimitachi e has been my favorite so far. Not only because of the great casting job, but it's hard not to chuckle when four minor characters that play a decent role in the dorm were on Sentai shows in the previous year (2 from Kamen Rider Kabuto, 1 from GoGo Sentai Boukenger).

Don't get me wrong though, ALL of them are top notch in my books, so it's really REALLY hard to choose. If I were to say which so far has given me the biggest impact as far as potentially staying on my HDD after the series has run, that's going towards First Kiss. Even though I've only watched the first episode, I've got good feelings about it.

Xenos is a late night, "adult" drama posing as a mystery.

Based on many of your earlier comments, I doubt you'd like it.

It's mostly just bare breasts, partial nudity, references to fetishism, sex, and violence.

I liked it. But then... I'm your classic dirty old man.
