Gonzo is excellent!!!...or if you like Kdramas, Evasive Inquiry Agency is a wonderful mix of mystery and humour...

I've seen all except Gonzo, Scandal, Bloody Monday (is on it's way down though), and Unfair.. and I really want to see Ryuusei no Kizuna, but I can only find ep 1..

They're all on d-addicts if you can download torrents. And they're on livejournal too.

Gonzo!! :metaldevil:

My personal favorite romantic comedies are Anego and Hotaru no Hikari The stories are very different from each other but both are hilarious and are related to working in an office.

I loved these two Jdoramas as well! Any others like this you or anyone else can recommend would be great!

Thanks! :woot:

PS. it doesn't have to revolve around an office. Just a good romantic Jdorama is all I'm after that's more an adult theme! Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a next drama for me to watch? I'm still somewhat of a newbie having only seen fully Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, Team Batista no Eiko, and random single episodes from whatever was on the tube while I was in Japan. From both of those, my favorite aspect was the cool/quirky/funny male leads (Abe/Nakamura)... if you know of another drama with similar character or elements as these two, please tell me!! I need a way to practice my Japanese stateside.

By the way, subs or not makes no difference^^

Is there a specific type of drama you're interested in?

Comedies? Romances? Serious Dramas? Crime stories?

Hmm.. maybe more comedy/crime than romance... I'm not sure, I mean I really enjoyed KDO which was just comedy/romance but I also enjoyed Batista which was mostly crime... maybe for now looking more like KDO - comedy/romance?

Some other Abe Hiroshi shows:
At Home Dad
Trick
Dragon Zakura

Also Muri na Ren'ai with Natsukawa Yui. Has a similar feel to Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, character-driven.

If you like crime/mysteries with a comical edge, try the Kuitan series or the Jiko Keisatsu series... :)

Not sure if you like classical music, but I'd highly recommend Nodame Cantabile (no surprise)... It's a great blend of music, romance, drama, and manga-like slapstick comedy.

Ahh! I've heard of that Nodame Cantabile. Some friends got together to watch the last one when I was over there. It might be a little too romance for me but I do distinctly laughing out loud at a scene where the newly wed man came to the girl's place and there was a joke (maybe oyaji gag) regarding shoyu or something, can't really remember details heh..

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to check these out along with Kuitan & Jiko Keisatsu

Actually, the romance is secondary to the music and comedy. :beaten:

Hmm, that's a different drama... There's no wedding in Nodame. :sweat:

+1 on Last Christmas, it's one of my all-time favorites that's actually become an annual tradition for me this time of year! I'm on my 3rd year doing this with the show, never gets old to me.

As usual, I'm behind the times. Trying to get episodes 6-12 now (got my girlfriend hooked), could someone please seed on D-Addicts?

Please? :fingerscrossed:

You'll have better luck asking for seeders at d-addicts itself...
