hehe, great drama..

wondering what to watch next after golden bowl.....thinking of yasashii jikan

Golden Bowl was grand, but Yasashii Jikan is in a class of its own. It's more like a work of art then anything else. :applaud:

Regarding this issue with Mop Girl:

Although I believe each case should be evaluated separately, I think this rule at DA is there to prevent chaos from breaking out. The subbing group in this case has seemingly abandoned this project, but I would suspect that if you asked them if they would mind you taking up their project they may have objections. Looking at it from their point of view, they probably feel that this project is pending. But from the audience, more than enough time has passed to either update or make some progress, even if it's slow.

Allowing anyone to just take projects and create subs that they deem aren't being subbed fast enough is stepping on the toes of the subbers so it's sort of a delicate situation. IMO that's the spirit of this rule.

Nevertheless, I wish you guys good luck on finishing this and getting it out there in some way so the fans of Mop Girl can enjoy the remaining episodes.

And no, I have no affiliation to the subbing team in this case.

My 3rd time watching Love Generation.....and the magical feeling still floating around you.

Darn....what a great romance dorama!

What I don't get is why a subbing group would just suddenly abandon a project like that... :headscratch:

I can understand one individual being sidetracked or whatever for various reasons, but a group?

A group shouldn't commit unless they're willing to see the entire project through, IMO.

Yes exactly. :applaud: And if they ARE going to abandon a project, they should take responsibility for their actions and open the project up for others to take over.

They have no place subbing if they can't see it through. They belong in the same group as those bootleg DVD subbers out of Taiwan. More incentive for those to learn Nihongo imo. :victory:

I was gonna say that, but I was trying to be diplomatic. :beaten:

The thing is, not only are they not active on subbing this series, but they ARE active on other shows since then. That, in of itself, makes anyone who would protest such a move by another group taking the reins as selfish, and goes against the whole idea of a community-based fansub. Don't want others to do the show? Do it your own damned self! :P

Anyways, back on topic: Tomorrow Episode 2 is good stuff. I don't know if it's going to replace Iryu as my favorite medical drama thus far (haven't seen many obviously), but it is definitely competing!

Good point.

That's like the group who was subbing Loss Time Life: they dropped it halfway through to sub Hokaben. :grumble:

That's a bit harsh. They are un-paid volunteers afterall...

Just watched the Last Song episode 7.

The absurdness factor is creeping up, quite normal for a Shinji Nojima's drama.
It's good to be able to see Ikewaki Chizuru again, and I like the message this episode tried to put across, but not the story itself. It's thought-provoking, but I felt a little detached from the story. It sometimes felt like that the story is only a vehicle for putting across the writer's message. (I remember reading this online.) The beginning of this episode is lighthearted and fun, just like the previous episode.
There are a few subtle leads back to the main characters, instead of focusing on the "guest" characters.

Finished ep 2 of Muri no Renai. The drama itself is probably going to be fairly predictable, but it's a lot of fun watching these pros at work!! :applaud:

The way Mr. Constipation/Ohanaya-san talks is just so slow and strained that he seems like he has constipation to me and I think Wyn thought the same too. :hehe:

You know better than anyone that hints like that don't go unnoticed on this thread.

To be honest, I didn't even catch what beem said, so you just ripped that bandaid off and spurted blood all over the place. :hehe: Oops, sorry for the gruesome imagery so early in the morning (or whatever time it is there).

On topic: Aibou 2 last night. Thank goodness it's being reaired since I didn't really catch that series till the end. :dancing:

cori wrote:I think Wyn thought the same too

I do, and the way he speaks got so annoying in the later episodes. :shakehead:

Alrighty, I'll be starting Proposal Daisakusen after I update my blog. :D

You are quite right. This is a super romantic jdrama. I've watched portions of it many times.

Mostly the beginning, the part where he tells her he loves her too on the big electronic board around ep6 and the ending when she realizes he went up the mountain.

:victory:

Wynter

O NO!!!! That's too bad to hear! I really enjoyed Ima.

Hmm. Really? Okay, maybe I'll give it another shot after I finish fast forwarding through "Puzzle".

I don't like to give up on shows after only 3 episodes anyway.

Right then. I'll hike up the big boy pants and have a go.

As I figured for most.

I never saw the movie, and this was my first drama with Mimura. The story IS weird... but I thought the actors did a great job and I really felt something while watching.

Wynter

I didn't see the movie either. And I like all the actors in the show. (Mimura was wonderful in both "Saito-San" and "Medaka")

But the story...

Spoiler — click to reveal

I thought there were two ways to look at the show. Either it was a tragedy waiting to happen when the little boy loses his mother for a second time. Or it was the perfect set-up for one of those grade B ripper slasher direct to video movies about the deranged guy who lives in the woods with his kid. He finds a woman in an abandoned building, and because he's deranged he takes her back to his secluded house in the woods and insists that she's really his dead wife come back to life. He tells the kid that she's his mother, and they force the woman to stay in the house and never let anyone see her.

Okay, this probably isn't gonna be a slasher movie. But it's the classic set up for one. And if she doesn't kill him and escape in the end, I think I'm gonna be disappointed.

LOL! In that case, I think you'll definitely be disappointed in the end and you might as well shelf the show. :rofl:

It's a sad drama. Not as tear-jerking as some of the dramas out there, but sad nonetheless.

As I figured for most.

At first I thought you were assuming someone would take it up, so I was gonna post whether you had insider info on this, but then Geez cleared that up, so I changed my post.

Churasan Disc 13. I'm 1/3 of the way through! :sweat:
