Hehe...she gets a gang of junk food and just loves to kick it with some beers....it's funny but it gets old real quick.

The key word there is "quality."

Take Kita no Kuni Kara, the 1981 series that is endangering Geezer's life.

It's got no androgynous pretty boy mannequins, no female cuties playing at acting, no puerile storylines, no banal dialog, no pander-to-our-target-audience considerations.

It does have an intelligent script which is rich in context: a talented cast (as opposed to a cast of talent) ranging from an eight-year-old girl to an eighty-year-old legend; and strong direction. Plus the beauty and harshness of the Hokkaido countryside, which drives this series.

Amen to that, dude. :thumbsup:

And I'm really thankful that shin sent it to me. :woot: Right now I'm watching the final epi of Hotaru, and then I'll start another that shin sent me: Double Kitchen. :good:

Finish downloading Ningen Shikaku episode 1.

Watch it for a while, and I feel like, I don't know how long I can stand watching this drama. :puppydog: the way the student bullying other student is so kowaiii~~ :sweat: :sweat: scary indeed :sweat:

Finally found Sugao no mama de [‘fèø‚Ì‚Ü‚Ü‚Å] after months of trying, the first series with which Kitagawa Eriko made her name, and the first 3 episodes are just terrific. Still downloading the rest. Do try it out if you have the chance. And just want to warn that the summary/description of this drama on info page is spoilery and doesn't do justice to this drama at all.

Well seeing that Wedding Planner is taking an eternity to obtain (1 seed, bah!), I've moved onto Proposal Daisakusen for the time being.

Glad I did, I'm really enjoying the series. It's even MORE entertaining when I look at it like a sequel to Dragon Zakura! :hehe: I can definitely see why it won awards, and am glad I'm not shallow enough to 'never go back' once a season is over, lest I had left this one behind.

In more recent seasons, I've started up Shika Otoko Aoniyoshi, and wow...is this show different. :sweat: I've only watched the first two episodes and am still trying to nail down the plot. It's a silly show that'll probably get shelved right afterwards due to nothing too special so far, but I am enjoying it as a light alternative to Proposal Daisakusen.

It's probably dried ika-- stringy strips of dried cuttlefish or squid. It's an ubiquitous snack food.

Ahhhhhh I see! Thanks, you've satisfied my curiousity. :bow:

On Topic: Double Kitchen epi 1.

watching Binbou Danshi and Honey and Clover going ok so far

Yup. I've watched some more of "Densha" and I'm definately in love with Jinkama-san. If Hermes is Densha's version of the perfect woman... then Jinkama-san is mine.

Oooo! Re: Double Kitchen. Knowing you you're probably already finished... but if not, you might want to hold off for a bit. There's a much better copy coming.

Re:

Kita no Kuni Kara. The little family show I've been mesmorized by. I agree with everything shin 2 said about it.

But he mentioned the writing in his post yesterday and it got me to wondering who actually did write this show. So I looked it up, and who would have guessed.

Kuramoto Sou

The same guy that wrote;

Yasashii Jikan & Haikei Chichiue-sama.

I should'a known.

^ I think I saw a few episodes of Kita no Kuni kara long ago and yeah, it doesn't surprise me either that it's the same person who wrote Yasashii and Haikei.

Watched the 4th and 5th episode of GTO last night. Fun show and I wish I started watching this long ago.

I don't want to spoil anything, but her very last scene in the drama (or at least I think it was her last) sealed the deal for me. :victory:

I've only seen the first episode so far, but if there's a better copy of it, I'm more then willing to hold off. I'm a huge fan of Nogiwa Yoko and watching her in a better quality would be great. How do I obtain this better copy?

On Topic: Hmmm... since I'm putting Double Kitchen on the back burner, the next drama in line is... Ohsama no Resutoran, another shin2 recommendation! >>looks it up<<

Sugoi! He's definitely tight-knit and deep. :applaud: I think I'll move Kita up on the watch list. Hmm.

Finish episode one of Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai. This drama is sooooooooo hilarious! I think maybe one of the best comedy drama this season
