Gokusen Series (1, 2, etc.)

Don't worry, you're not the only one who dislikes g2.
in fact, i don't like kattun coz of g2.
they made a mess of shin's gokusen to me. i mean they could have gotten a stronger cast and written better scripts for a sequel. i just felt like i fell off a cliff with disappointment in g2.
where jun acted so hard, those kt guys just sort of 'posed' throughout the show, like posters. gosh... i so dislike blatant idol marketing in dramas!

of course, not just the cast, the script sucks too. they should do a new formula instead of just replicating the old.

It's become one of my favorite shows of all time. Kinda hard to get used to the new cast of Gokusen 2, though. Oh well, maybe after a few episodes I'll start warming up to them. : )

they say that season 2 offered nothing new in terms of character development. Seems like another hard-headed bunch of students going through a disiplinary machine known as Yankumi. :bonk:

:say_hi: fybabe,

that's why i said poor yankumi :puppydog: , still didn't get his true love. why they didn't maintain the shinoharasan character in gokusen 2? and 4 the student i prefer the old one :victory: . go sawada shin and the gang :smitten: :jumpie:

Rebekah wrote:I, too, got the distinct impression that Shin was jealous of Shinohara-san! For example, the first (subtle) inkling of this was when Yankumi thought that Shinohara was going to marry some woman (who turned out to be his sister marrying someone else!) When she asked Shin something like "Do you think he's going to marry her?" he said, "Probably." I think he wanted Yankumi to forget about Shinohara!

Another scene is when Shinohara asks her out to dinner and the whole class is watching--Yankumi says something like she is the happiest person alive--and Shin is watching with a serious expression on his face.

Also at the end he says to count him in amongst the rivals who are going to pursue Yankumi! That didn't come out of the blue--you could see the growing feelings of him towards Yankumi through the whole season.


I miss Gokusen. I miss Sawada! I know people vehemently disagree with this, but I'm one of those who secretly hope there will be a Gokusen 3 with Sawada coming back... (If they get excellent writers and not cobble something together half-heartedly.)

I miss him too. But I have to whole serie, so I can watch it when I want. :)

And at the end of the last episod? When Shinohara, and Tetsu are standing with Shinohara's partner, and he says:"Then we 3 are rivals?" And Shin turns back and says: "No, there are four of us". It was sooo funny. :)
I knew from the first episode, that Shin was in love with Yankumi. It was so obvious. That's why Shin never looked in Yankumi's eyes. :)

Compared to Season 2, season 1 is better, imo...

Haven't seen 2, but I've heard it was nothing more than a rehash of 1...

Cracks me up to read all these gals carping about Matsumoto Jun like he was all that: this series woulda sucked the big one without Nakama Yukie.

Period.

I just got all the subtitle files for G2, so let me know if you want it for comparison sake.

That's not surprising at all. But you're right about Yukie making the story.
