Ooh, more of Shiro? I'm so there. :D

And I'm going to (finally) start watching Kuitan 1 next. :victory:

Lol, yeah, there's mucho Shiro this series. :hehe:
Unfortunately for you, no shirt-off scenes. At least, not so far. :rofl:
Althought, I reckon Momo-chan might have a thing for him, so she might end up tearing his shirt off with her teeth later on in the series and *X-rated* :mrgreen:

DUDE! You're a Shiro-FG and you haven't seen Kuitan?! Throw all the other dramas out the window and put this one into your DVD player!

I can do without shirt-ripping scenes especially if it's some girl who does it. :usuck: :hehe:

I know, I know, but I wanted to space out all my Shiro dramas so I have something to look forward to. :mrgreen:

Episode 1 of Mukodono 2001 hoping for more Shinohara Ryoko. But her part is very small so far. On the other hand one of my other favs Takeuchi Yuko has the female lead. So it's a two fer. I usually don't like watching anything this old since the quality is horrible but in deference to the two cuties I will make an exception.
:bow:

Wow!! You miss some great stuff if youre too fussy about quality. But Im partial to alot of early to mid 90's dramas and if you can get them thats good enough. Just about to start up Chance! again. ON ep 5. :thumbsup:
The characters are outrageous. Lotsa fun! :woot:

Bara no nai Hanaya ep 4

Jiko Keisatsu 2, Episode 3. :victory:

Could be. However there are so many dramas available now with excellent quality that I would not have the time or incentive to go back to dramas from VCR recorded in LP mode dramas. In fact I find the more modern dramas much more interesting than the artifact filled detailess engrishy dinoseaurs of yesteryear. As you can see I am no longer the artsy guy I was in my youth. Give me clear funny romantic comedies filled with gorgeous young cuties with happy endings and I leave the oldies to the more educated masses... :crazy:

10 minutes into Episode 2 of Mukodono 2001 and that's all for me.

I don't like the way the leading man is portrayed and it pretty much spoils it for me.

Spoiler — click to reveal

From the moment he splashed sukiyaki all over his face and then walked around with it for the remainder of the scene a good 10 minutes my disgust level rose accordingly and I could not tolerate watching him after that.... and then have Takeuchi think he's so adorable.... ugh and on top of that have him act in slapstick manga style double ugh

and then expect me to continue watching with questionable quality and stupid kanji scrolling down the left side endlessly.... :banghead:

!!! I just watched Mukodono a couple days ago and thought it was the best! The quality wasn't the greatest but it wasn't all that bad! I've seen worse. :shamefulcry:

I thought it was rather charming too.

Back to Aoi Tokugawa ep 39. Interesting things happen in every generation of that family. Terrific! :applaud:

On ep 7 of Chance! outrageous behavior continues :thumbsup:

Well I am always happy to find a better quality version of anything.
But I love some of the older, less slick dramas. Even if they are a bit harder to view.
Does this mean Im educated
**looks about hopefully** :fingerscrossed:

Though I can see why you'd feel that way about quality, sometimes the only way you can find certain dramas are those taped from the TV. I'm taping a few shows on KIKU right now and though they're not the best quality, you can't really find them anywhere else online. Unless they air them on KSCI or whatever channel you guys have. Or if someone eventually puts them on bittorrent.

And on topic: I just watched some of Kuitan 1 and within the first five minutes, I was instantly hooked! I loved the scene where Kuitan runs after culprit and jumps over Igarashi ( :inlove: ) and does one of those final poses they do in gymnastics. Hilarious. :rofl:

Also I find it amusing that Higashiyama Noriyuki, who plays Kuitan, was also the lead character in The Chef. Dude really likes his food. Also amusing is that he looks and somewhat acts like he could be Tamaki Hiroshi's older brother.

My only complaint about this show is that I wish I watched it sooner! Damn you guys for not twisting my arm or putting a gun to my head!!! :usuck: :hehe:

Exactly.

But some people would rather be deprived instead... Their loss.

It's only because of the hair.

Pffft, yeah blame us. :beatyou: :beatyou: :beatyou:

Yeah. To me, the quality does matter, but if there's no other versions out there, I'm fine with crappiness

Their facial features are similar too. Not to mention their haughty attitude.

Pffft, yeah blame us. :beatyou: :beatyou: :beatyou:

Ouch. :puppydog:

Deep into Aoi Tokugawa, ep 41. The third shogunate is going to be an interesting one. :victory:

Yup.

I'll take mediocre video over mediocre acting any day of the week.
