JDrama Recommendations

can anyone recommend me some serious dramas? along the lines of LIFE/last friends for more popular ones and watashitashi no kyokasho/koinu no waltz for the lesser known ones....

i'm up for some twisted dramas recently...

for twisty dorama may I suggest try ashita no kita yoshio :woot:

Or you might want to try Nyokei Kazoku http://jdorama.com/drama.973.htm The only drama I've ever seen where I wished EVERY character (except Ryoko) should be covered with honey and tied to an anthill!!

My current season favourites:
1) Seigi no Mikata
2) Yasuko toKenji
3) Tomorow

One of the main traits of Shinji Nojima's dramas is its unpredictability. They can be extremely depressing and very hard to watch at times, so beware. (I am afraid to watch some of his best known works)

Agreed on Yasuko to Kenji. Just started it, and absolutely love it!

LOL! This drama was absolutely awesome.

That's a different Ryoko-chan drama...

In Nyokei Kazoku, everyone is trying to angle out each other for inheritance money... :sweat:

Hi new user here. Ive watched Hana Kimi and Nodame, and I was wondering if there are other comedies that have exaggerated action such as these that you would be able to suggest. My friend likes to call them "live action animes" haha. Thanks in advance.

In the case of Nodame, that's literally true... :victory:


Oh, and welcome for the forum... Please take some time to read the Posting Guidelines if you haven't already. :)

I would recommend Kisarazu Cat's Eye, Densha Otoko, and Akihabara@deep.

Thanks. Already seen the directors cuts of the last 2 haha, but ill check out Cat's Eye.

I haven't seen Cat's Eye, but my bro has and he LOVED if. He said anyone that say and liked Tiger and Dragon would like Cat's Eye as well, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Hi everyone.
I'm new to this site and pretty noob to jdramas. The one's I watched have mostly been manga-turned-dramas and I found that I really like them. I like to compare the original manga to the direction of the drama.

So of the ones I've seen are:
Zettai Kareshi
One Pound Gospel
Kimi wa Petto
Gokusen 1/2
Hanakimi

I've also seen Yoiko no Mikata, Stand UP!!, Orange Days, and Kisarazu Cat's Eye. I realize I tend to watch drama's with Johnny's member's in them...

I watch them very quickly so I need some new ones! Can anyone please help?
Thanks! :)

Ahaha...yes yes, I know. Looking back on it, it does come off as a bit fangirly... It's not that I actually listen to anything Johnny's, I just happen to follow the actors from one drama to the next :D

Like running blind.

:P

come on bmw-san. don't generalize...

Hi Lochly :woot:
not a drama but a movie starring Nino, Ao no Hono...
Nobuta wo Produce is good too. Antique Cake shop have yummy cakes with delicious Abe Hiroshi and young Takizawa. I would also recommend Osen.
For something different and sophisticated try Yasashii Jikan & Haikei Chichiuesama (NINO!!!).
