So, Im really into...scary/supernatural.

Mainly, if anyone has seen Supernatural from the US, thats exactly what Im looking for, but I will settle for really scary, and supernatural.

Ill also mention that I just watched CROWS ZERO. LOVED IT!. Any action dramas like that? Really cool action packed?

Looking for mainly around 2000-present!

Did you see the anime Jigoku Shoujo/Hell Girl? If so, it's also a drama, I saw it, worth checking out, :applaud: like the anime only 23 minutes an episode.

been mostly out of the game for a few years. anything good? most recent stuff i've seen was ninkyo helper (liked it), orthos no inu (okay...), hanazakari kimi tachi e (liked it), zettai kareshi (liked it), yeah...

i guess my faves are school dramas (fave ever is still GTO) and romantic comedies but i'm into pretty much anything except the SUPER melodramatic stuff.

i know "a few years" is pretty broad but it's the truth. i think i did the bulk of my watching from 2003-2007? alright, bring on the recommendations.

I've been wanting to watch something starring Kimura Takuya. Which drama of his would be best to start with?

Priority-wise, check out Medaka first. :)

really? love shuffle sounds more interesting as a premise. but then again, i love gto and it seems like it has that kind of potential.

i don't know how i missed medaka. 2004 was during my peak watching years...

Medaka fits your classroom criteria.

Love Shuffle is more of a 21st century version of swinging/partner swapping.

yeah, trying to get medaka but there seems to be no seeders. it'll be hard to work a trade with someone since i'm now in japan. ehh, i'll figure something out.

Judging from your profile page you like suspense more than "plain" romance.

If that is really the case you should definitely start with "Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi" and "Karei naru Ichizoku" first, for these are Kimutaku's best "serious" dramas.

If you need them I can send you DVDs.

I loved Dandori Dance Drill too. For school series.

One recommendation: please use lower case type... With the upper case type, it's like you're yelling at us. :sweat:
