no worries.

i've been seeding the first two epsiodes for the last 45 minutes...but it's up to you whether you want to download them if you'd like.

I'm downloading it at present.

I thought I sent it to you in this latest package. :confused:

I made my brother watch the first episode of Densha otoko. He was reluctant at first, but he really enjoyed it. He said that it's the kind of show that can boost one's self esteem because no one's as nerdy/geeky/otaku-ish as the characters in it. :hehe:

Good thing I caught you before you downloaded the whole thing then. :)

I want to go home and watch the last couple eps of Love Revolution. It's starting to get good again. *keeps on checking clock*

Epi 3 of Hanayome to Papa. :victory:

Finished Erai Tokoro ni Totsuide Shimatta! last night. i'd have to say it finished with a bit of a whimper rather than a bang. I did like the series, but it could have been better...

A lot more Mari Hamada and a lot less Shosuke Tanihara would have been my first suggestion to the producers.


Just finished Ten Urara, an asadora series from 1998. This is the first asadora that I was generally disappointed in. Too many uninteresting characters, too much mundaneness in the plot. I hit the fastforward button a lot watching this; no wonder I finished this 156-episode series in record time.

Yeah, I felt like slapping him most of the time. Made me wonder what Kimi-chan saw in him.

shin2 (and possibly AD): Don't forget to post it on the dramas not worth watching thread. I like knowing what shows to avoid and I bet others would too. :) http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.91.htm

(sorry for the off topic, beem)

Hmmm, I think it is worth watching, especially for Yukie fans. She tries hard, but doesn't have much chemistry with Shosuke Tanihara. I don't rate it highly, but I wouldn't want to put anyone off watching it. :hehe:

I ought to mention that the subs are pretty uneven... the Engrish is a bit much sometimes, at other times they seemed to be spot on :headscratch:

That's where the spellchecker in Microsoft Word comes in.... :sweat:

More the grammar than the spelling... not blaming you, b-san :) The actual subs looked great onscreen :)

Gomen, I didn't take it that way.... I don't even recall sending you that drama... :beaten:

(Did I?) :headscratch:

Yeah, you did :) Nice job on the authoring, too :)

Too bad there's no anti-Engrish filter. :sweat:

Finished Kuitan 2...overall, it was pretty good...not quite as good as the first season, primarily I think because they didn't use the secondary characters as much, not enough Momo-chan and Igarashi...
btw Momo-chan lets out the biggest IGARASHI of both seasons in the final episode...I thought her head was gonna explode!
mostly I'll miss Ichikawa Mikako...

I am currently watching

Hotaru no Hikari - I absolutely love this dorama!!! I have had so much fun watching this so far and I can not wait to see how it unfolds. Best drama of the summer for me so far!

Katagoshi no Koibito - I like this series so far. It has it's humoros moments and it is a very good "adult" dorama. It is interesting and I like it.

Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru - A dorama from last year... I am only on episode 4 of this drama and it is okay. A nice filler for the summer until the Fall season approaches. (Only thing that bothers me about this is that I don't see why the "heroine" of the show is considered "funny" but I like the characters)

Ah, a positive review for a change... :victory:

Off topic but...

I've said it over there and I'll say it over here... I think the "Dramas not worth watching" thread should be abolished.

I can't tell you how many times I've read rave reviews of shows that I watched and thought were awful. And of course, flip it around, I've read pages of comments ripping shows that I've enjoyed no end.

Because we like Japanese TV doesn't mean we all like or dislike the same Japanese TV.
