LOL Geez! But WE love you! :naughty:

So let's do the math -- Wakaba premiered on January 15, 2005. Given that the standard asadora is 151 episodes, that means Kaze should be finished (subtract three; carry the two; allow for pre-emptions for the Red & White Show, Obon Festival, programming screw-ups, etc.)... in late December, 2007.

Argh. Where's my shochu? :shakehead:

P.S. Obon Festival in Mountain View next weekend! Besides me, who else is going?

After years of being sucked in, I'd finally kicked the Asadora habit. So what do they do?

They start a new one featuring Kimura Yoshino, so I'll have to watch.

151, 15 minute episodes.

They hate me. The Japanese just hate me.

Geezer, so are you a big Kimura Yoshino fan? I've got one of those large wall calendars with her from 1999. I just couldn't bring myself to throwing it away after the year ended, and even when I moved into a new apartment a couple of years later. Would you be interested in taking it off my hands? If so, PM me.

:lol: Wow, it does take 1.5 years to finish one of these asadoras on KTSF, doesn't it? :nut:

I was way busy last Saturday, then went to a barbeque and forgot to put in a tape--I thought the end of Wakaba was coming, but wasn't thinking it would be so soon--anyone want to give me the brief on what happened the last episode?

I was not a huge fan, but I would like to finish the [email protected]

Anyone else reminded of "Totoro" by the first few scenes of "Kaze no Haruka"?
Not to mention, from the description of the town, I was wondering if maybe Nausicaa lives there. ;)

Do we have a dorama entry for Kaze no Haruka? We can't seem to find it.

Just loved this scene! [image]

When a new dorama is introduced, I always start grumpily saying, "I'm going to hate this, I know I am," and later on it starts to grow on me and I can't miss it. This show is gradually growing on me....

I like the show too (Kaze no Haruka). Nice location, cute kids, funny and touching moments. KTSF got us a good one here.

I don't know if anyone has stated that Rondo will begin airing next Sunday (7/30).

KXLA will start airing RONDO in the LA area in September with English subtitles.

But it looks like they're stuck with Wakaba now in the Southland.

Is this with English subs? I'd love to finally finish the series.

KTSF on Sundays? Sadly, highly unlikely....probably not....no way Jose. Only the SoCal one will be subbed. I wonder if someone will be recording it down there. *nudge wink nudge*

I'm really looking forward to some escapism tonight. I hope everything is as light and fluffy as possible (barring the taiga dorama, of course). My cat passed away today and I don't feel like doing much, but I could really use some entertainment to take my mind off of things.

EDIT: Haruka's mom totally looks like the Japanese Lisa Kudrow. The resemblance is a little creepy.

Sorry about your cat, wintersweet. My cat Booboo is 14 already and I'll be real sad when she goes. I liked last night's episode of Kaze no Haruka. But didn't the narrator say it was the last moment of happiness for them? It doesn't bode well for what's to come.

Thanks, Shari.

Yeah, but it said "for the four of them together," IIRC, so hopefully they'll be able to find some happiness on their own.

Ah, if you're seen enough doramas, you can pretty much figure out how it's going to evolve...

OK, you know the IQ Supli segment where they mirror some animation and you have to spot the differences? Was that a specific anime they were imitating tonight?

Hey Geezer,

Didja know that Kimura Yoshino is also now appearing in "Rondo" on Sunday evenings? She's playing a uniformed cop (or possibly merely a parking control officer).

Andru,

Ah dang it! I'm already recording "Kaze no Haruka", though so far it's about as interesting as watching grass grow. And I'm downloading "P.S. Rashoumon" without any hopes of subs either hard or soft.

And now Rondo?

I hope she appreciates what I go through for those few seconds a week when I get to stare at her.

Thanks for the heads-up Andru. I had decided to give Rondo a pass.. but now I'll have to buy some tapes.
