And yet you can't sit through Nodame... Though it's neither low brow nor juvenile, but it is slapstick.

Give it its due... Nodame is pretty darned juvenile. But I don't think it's good slap stick. Like I said before... I didn't find the guy slapping the little retarded girl around... funny.

I love good slap stick. Bud and Lou, The Stooges, the Marx Bros., Laurel & Hardy, Olsen & Johnson... have always made me laugh.

And if you think about it, it's always the sweet innocent, the dumb guy, who's getting slapped around. Lou Costello. Curley. Stan Laurel. Ole Olsen.

But Nodame is a sweet, innocent, dumb girl who gets slapped around... Maybe it's the "girl" part that's unfunny to you......

Oh well.

Oh well. No accounting for taste.

Yup.

We could make the opposing remarks regarding that weep-fest Sekai no Chuushin and how some people find Taigas boring without young, nubile, virginal girls prancing through the story.

Can you imagine? Some people out there actually think Adam Sandler is funny!

Oh God.... :shakehead: :bleh:

Talk about a lunkhead of the highest order.... That guy disgusts me to no end.

Same here... I tried watching the anime on several occasions, but found them rather flat (no pun intended)... :beaten:

Speaking of which we finished Aoi Tokugawa! Another Taiga completed.
Brilliant. :woot:
We both loved it. Toshiie to Matsu is still our favorite by a bit but that is mostly to do with the fact that Maeda Toshiie was such an honorable figure and his wife compelling.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was extraordinary, wily and farsighted but not someone to admire in the same way.
Other than a few of the Tokugawa daughters, who were pretty, there was certainly no prancing to be seen. Unless it was the third Tokugawa shogun Iemitsu. :hehe:

Youre even cuter than I thought you'd be! ;) :naughty:

If Manami wasn't so cute, I'd pull a Dragon Lady on her to take her place. :ashamed:

On Topic: Last episode of Tokyo Love Story. FINALLY. Whereas I enjoyed the angst in the first few episodes, it's starting to get annoying and overdone now. This is the first drama where every character has pissed me off at least once.

Currently working my way through "Kekkon Dekinai Otoko" while trying to decide whether or not to brave the rest of "Shikaotoko Awoniyoshi" without subs.

I have a bad feeling about the rest of Shika...We might not see anymore from siantut...

They're almost done..... :sweat:

I'm still waiting for the final sub for Koshonin... :puppydog:

Really? *is not trying to rush or pressure anyone, but did not know that someone else picked this show up*

Whoops, I got it mixed it up with another show... There's still four more episodes to sub... :sweat:

Me too. :pout:

I finished Tokyo Love Story last night. :crazy:

I'm on Mukodono now, episode 4 I believe. Tomoya-kun AND Yuko-chan in the same drama! SQUEAL!

Watched episodes 3-6 of Hitonatsu no Proposal last night. I was going to try to watch something inbetween, but that drama just sucked me in.

ProDai :victory:

The cool part about Taigas is that you get different views of the same historical figure, depending on who wrote the Taiga, and who's being featured.

The historical facts stay pretty much the same. But the interpretations are miles apart.

Sorimachi's Nobunaga in "Toshi & Matsu" is a very differant guy from Tachi's Nobunaga in "Koumei Ga Tauji"

And the same goes for Kagawa's Hideyoshi compared to Emoto's Hideyoshi.

The more you watch, the more pieces of the puzzle you get.

Is it confirmed that "Shikaotoko Awoniyoshi" has been dropped?

No, it is not confirmed, but siantut is quite late on eps 7-9...Saragorn (an associate of hers) over at d-addicts said this today:

"If everyone will take a look at the message on what remains of her website, it clearly says that she will upload the rest of the subtitles for this series here. Give her a little time."

So, I guess we should be patient.
