Hardly a household name. :P

I watched the first episode of Ashita no Kita Yoshio and it's now the first show I look for every week when the uploads appear.

I won't watch anymore until it's finished, and subbed... but based on that one episode... this is the show I'm most looking forward to watching this season.

awaiting final ep for Iryu 2 and part 2 of the nodame special :victory:

BUCHOU!!! Couldn't resist. Wait, it's that Hotaru show, right???

Mebbe? I dunno, I've only seen the first episode. :beaten: It's Hotaru no Hikari! I'm on the second episode now. :victory:

I am so out of touch with what's been hapening in the world of drama! Looking at the last couple of pages of this thread has me going "never heard of that drama", "nope, not that one either". :doh:

Anyway, I am watching Kuitan 2. Saw episode 1, gonna watch more tomorrow.

Many thanks to Wynter and Anime Dad for making it possible. :bow:

That's the one!! You should know what I mean soon enough.

I watched the special of GTO and kinda skipped through the movie since it was pretty boring. Obviously made just for money. I hate those kinds of things where they do specials or movies or whatever without the original cast. Even the Hero special at least had them make a cameo at the end.

Almost done with Papa to Musume no Nanokakan. So short! I thought it was gonna be a crazy comedy and although it's funny it's also a touching family show. I've teared up a couple times. (Most people probably wouldn't though. I'm just overly sensitive.)

Finished episode 7 of Sore wa Totsuzen... I can't wait to finish the series so I can move to something more cheerful.

I will be starting a Kimura show called Sleeping Forest while waiting for Odoru ....
As most of the regulars here know, I am so not a Kimura fan, and deeply marked by Pride, but this has been lingering around for ages ... expectations are low anyway

His character is very different there from the norm, you might be surprised. I liked the drama...it's one of his FEW dark doramas, along with A Million Stars Falling from the Sky.

I hope ILll enjoy it :D After the Pride disaster people here at JDorama recommended A Million Stars - which I enjoyed - and a Sleeping Forest. :fingerscrossed:

^ why is pride a disaster?

What do you think I did in Nurse Aoi, Iryu 1 and 2 or any other series where they show off medical "skills"?

shiroi kyoto's by far the nearest realistic one IMO. doctor's aren't God, they failed all the time, neither do nurses, professor's, and of course not those idealistic little one such as satoshi tsumabuki in black jack.

LOL! That was one heck of a dress. :rofl:

I'm on epi 4 of Hotaru no Hikari now. :good: I'm finding that Ryoko-chan's character is outshinning Haruka-chan's... :sweat:

Finished Sore wa, Totsuzen, Arashi no you ni last night. The ending felt really abrupt and left me feeling empty. It's pretty much is one of those endings where they leave it up to the viewer to figure out what happens next.

Spoiler — click to reveal

In that last part where she meets eyes with her husband at the crosswalk, it seems like they were already strangers and will move on with their life, which was really sad since he seemed really dedicated to her until he found out that she betrayed him. Such a sad situation to fall in love with someone else only to find yourself with no one in the end.

I also started on GTO last night. I'm pretty sure that I saw this a while back, but I'm not sure if it was the anime or the drama itself so I'm a bit confused.

Anyway, it's amusing to see so many actors in this drama looking so young. When Onizuka (Sorimachi Takashi) first met with Fuyutsuki (Matsushita Nanako), I was like heeeeeyyyyyyyyy, aren't they married now?!. That was amusing. The students... even he was jailbait here, I thought that Kubozuka Yousuke was hot. And it was like, ooh he acted with Ikeuchi Hiroyuki in Tengoku ni ichiban chikai otoko! And screwed up Nakamura Aimi in Lipstick! And little Oguri Shun. Still cute, but damn was he awkward when he was young. Shirakawa Yumi is becoming the Nogiwa Yoko in some of the dramas that I've been watching/scanning through recently (Sore wa, Mahiru no Tsuki, Tomoko to Tomoko). I'll probably watch more of the series later today. :D

How does a character outshin another? :beaten:
