Gokusen Series (1, 2, etc.)

i just wish they take on more diverse roles, that's all. No offense to their fame in Gokusen at all. They acted really well there, especially Jun and Nakame.

:puppydog:

i think that gokusen 1 is better than #2...

yep!!! :bow:

i have a question about gokusen....

you know how the Grandfather, the Oyabun of the Yakuza family always strikes that flint rock when Yankumi departs the house to go to school...what is that all about? i can guess but i don't know the cultural antecedent for that practice? where does it come from? does anybody have any ideas...i'm not that well-versed in japanese culutural practices, if that even counts as one.....i know there are some well informed ppl here, so chime in, please!

yoroshiku onegaishimasu. :bow:

The same things always happen when a sequel of drama were made.
Like waterboys2, everybody compared it with the first one, and many of them contra about which one is best.
But i think, this is an usual thing. Like gokusen2, people maybe said that the second one is not good because the first one is already make a big hit in people's mind. That's why it's so hard to make a drama that can make people feel the same hit as the first one. With the same plot, a story about a yakuza teacher and bad students, i think it's difficult to make a very different things in every episodes. But i think, Gokusen 2 quite success to make people think that this drama worth enough to watch, though the first one will always stay as a big hit in people's mind.

Yup yup!!! but still...nothing beats the original :victory:

Not bad, but its because of kame, jin and moco! show-wise, i prefer the first season..but the manga is still the best!

actually i think that yankumi's fighting scenes look pretty fake :bonk:
they could have done a better job with the chorography like they did in you're under arrest! where it actually looks painful sometimes

anyway does anyone know who was the guy who played akinishi jin's brother? hes kinda cute :dancing:

i have a question too!

is that ichikawa yui cameoing as matsujun's sister?

^ yeah they look totally fake lol but thats kinda funny
Gokusen is simply stupidly interesting. :mrgreen:

no idea... don't really have a strong impression of her...
i thought that shin's sister should be prettier if she's got such a cute bro like shin... :shakehead:

Yep that's her!!! have you watched Ju-on 2 already? i think she's also there as an extra, as a girl named Chiharu. She faints and screams there. I think she's okay. I love matsujun!! wahahah!!! :nut:

hye there.. does anyone know where i can get Gokusen 2 with eng/malay subs?

But i think the fighting scenes were better than the first one's fighting scenes. Though the fighting scenes ine gokusen 2 were pretty fake, but in the first gokusen, the fighting scenes were totally fake!!!
Yea, maybe they should try to make more, more, and more beter fighting scenes later in goku 3.

I completely agree that they should get a decent coordinator for the fighting scenes. I mean, they don't need to hire a big-budget one, just make the fights look at least half decent. Sadly most of the fights in Gokusen and the sequel were just horrible. Yankumi's "super" punch to the stomach that she uses in G2 looks soooo fake. :P

i think u should go to S&M near kotaraya...
there is a lot of japanese & korean dramas..

I like gokusen2 more...
I like the first one too.... haha... it's because there's akame and the 2nd makes me cry ...
.. it's a good dorama :applaud:
although a lil bored because there's based on the same story that every1 have their problems and yankumi handle it :bleh:

the gokusen2 actors are more kawaii too :muack:

I just started to watch Gokusen and I'm so hooked.....
Matsujun is soo cool in here, his face expression :love_eyes:
Noda......can't ever get a cute guys like him
I like the other 3 too, they're so cute also
They have really great chemistry as best friends in Gokusen

Forgot to mention the hilarious teacher Yankumi, she's really pretty

There are some episodes that made me shed tears

Yeah, I'd like to know about that too. I search a bit and found nothing.
