I finished Konshu Tsuma ga Uwaki Shimasu (My Wife Is Having an Affair This Week) and I'd love to write a long review of it... but every time I start I realize everyting I've written is a spoiler... and I hate spoilers. Especially with a show like this.
Put it this way... even without subtitles for the last half of the show, I'm really glad I watched it.
This isn't a farce. It's not a goofy, wacky, little piece of fluff for the kids.
It's funny, touching, sad... and very very well done.
And you see that litte red square in the upper right corner. These have english subs, but they're from Malaysia. I had a copy of Fushin no Toki done by these guys, and to say they are "english challenged" is putting it mildly. Buy this at your own risk. :shakehead: [/list:u]
Downloading ep5 of Acchan's most excellent Swan no Baka drama and Aya's retarded Abarenbo Mama drama. Maybe will have a chance to watch one tonight.
Also, by chance, found ChocoMimi with the ultra kawaii Masuyama Kayano in it. Found it kind of late (weeks late) so the torrent speed (in KB/s) is barely matching you-know-who's IQ. If anybody can help seed, that'd be cool.

Yup, that's the one we're talking about...
Don't know the quality of those subs, though... If they're anything like that lame-o box art, it's a pass.
Yeah, save your money, that's from Malaysia. I had a copy of Fushin no Toki from them, "english as a 2nd or 3rd language" from whoever did the subs. :beaten: [/list:u]

As I figured... Engrish would've been an improvement, I'll bet. :bleh:
Got another couple eps of Aoi under our belts! :thumbsup:
Love the actor playing Ieyasu. He is so cool.
Aoi-Tokugawa Sandai is my favorite Taiga drama. It's got a terrific script by James Miki who has a history of writing terrific Taiga scripts and a marvelous largely veteran ensemble cast. Toshiyuki Nishida and Shima Iwashita are flat-out great actors with long exceptional resumes, and they turn in their usual fine performances as Tokugawa Hidetaka and his domineering wife. And, as I have stated on a couple of previous posts, Masahiko Tsugawa (another fine actor with an impressive resume) gives the best performance I have seen from an actor in a dorama with his portrayal of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Thanx for re-stating it, shin2. I was having a problem figuring out who the actor was. He is absolutely riveting as Im positive the real Ieyasu must have been. A person of so many layers, most extraordinary. Makes our western history seem so barbaric, though no less ruthless. :hehe:
Today Im going the light and fluffy route. Finishing ep 3 of Dandori.
Charming and just the right tone for someone who is going for light and cheery. The girls are very cute and its nice to see something without major problems too.
