So, Haruka and her sister think he looks like that weird drawing they did on the post when they were kids. And I thought WE were making too much fun of him!

Congratulations :woot: No new show. Senrigan part 3 :grumble:

Yeah, and this third part just got way too silly for me. I mean with the first two parts, I could sort of take it as a serious cult/terrorist suspense/thriller, but after that prolonged hand-to-hand combat sequence in the third part, I declared it a plain old bad movie. Even the eye candy of Mizuno Miki coudn't save it for me. The next one looks like a comedy, with eye candy courtesy of Nakama Yukie, as well as Shiina Kippei and Watanabe Ken for the ladies. And probably a lot better movie. Thank God.

I was getting tired of this movie at part 2. Anything with Yukie Nakama I'll watch. I can't wait to see this Yukie movie. Finally KTSF does something right.

Haruka's habit of squee'ing and freaking out ALOUD to herself is supposed to be cute, right? It just makes me want to smack her! :beatyou:

Honestly, even Murasaki-san is more interesting, in a neurotic kind of way. But I'm kind of confused, because she looks like she's closer to the age of Haruka and Haruka's friend whatshername (the pretty one). Then again, that might be my cruddy reception--it gives everyone a facelift.

"Oboreru Sakana" is pretty different. We'll have to see how it develops.

^ I wish you or anyone could smack her. Something about Haruka bugs me, I don't know what. And her sister Asuka and Masami too. I wish Nanae was the main character instead of Haruka.

We can hardly follow "Oboreru Sakana" because our reception is so bad that I can't tell who's who in the dim scenes, and the movie is kinda complicated anyway. But seeing Nogiwa Yoko pull a machine gun out? Totally worth it.

I need to try watching this sometime when I can actually see what's going. :p

Is it only me, it seems like Aya was trying to pick up Haruka's dad by the way she was looking at him and saying he looks radiant.
Oboreru Sakana funny scene when the guy was trying to breath Yukie's burp :rofl:

It seemed to me that Haruka's father was not the only target of Aya's flirtations. The scene that ended with Aya snoozing on Haruka's shoulder brought to my mind this voice-over narrative from Yufudake: "...and Haruka finally realizes why she was never really interested in boys - in that special way." Now, wouldn't THAT make an interesting asadora storyline?

Re Drowning Fish, after this second part, I'm also finding the movie quite hilarious! :rofl:

That would be the Tokyo TV midnite drama. :hehe:

According to this morning's Chron, KTSF is set to start airing;

"Onna to Ai to Mystery" in the 8:30 slot on Saturdays.

Of course the Chron is wrong. I expect it'll start next week. But it looks like it'll be fun.

It's an anthology series of murder mysteries. Each week a new murder, each week a new detective.

And it would seem no super genius 15 year old detectives off the cover of the Japanese version of Tiger Beat.

The detectives all seem to be the old pros who keep most dramas together.

Sounds good! All we're getting down here is Taiyo no Uta Takayuki Yamada for the fangirls and Erika Sawajiri for the Morning Musume crowd. Looks like I'll be using that time for the first season of WKRP that just came out on DVD [/list:u] "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly"

"Oh the humanity!"

:lol: After all these years, it still holds up!!!

Wow Taiyo no uta. Thats not fair. Where getting shows like Red Moon and 8 year old movies. And also repeat of Haru and Natsu. And now this low budget crime drama. I'm really jealous of you guys over there :shakehead:

Yeahh! :woot: So that series will continue afterall with each episode in two parts! For awhile there I thought they were only going to show the first episode and it would be back to theatrical films in three parts. The odd thing is though that the episode previewed to start next week doesn't seem to be any of the 18 listed on the dramawiki:

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Onna_to_Ai_to_Mystery

That first episode was definitely the first one listed since that was indeed actress Ikegami Kimiko playing the sister in law.

Now if they show each of the 18 episodes over two weeks that means this series is going to go on for quite some time! Well, it's not Long Vacation or Kinpachi Sensei but it's better than the alternatives.

Yeah its an improvement.

Anyone feel like posting or PMing me and telling me what happened with Haruka's sister on the 21st and 28th? I was out of town.

The new mystery show is a lot less interesting than I thought it would be. At least, based on tonight's. Oh well, fingers crossed.

Anyone going to the Nihonmachi Street Fair next weekend?

BTW, yes, I'm starting to throw things at the TV screen! How can sensible Haruka be so foolish? We all know if Aya shows up, Masami will drop Haruka like a hot potato.

OK, now that my TV is getting covered with the things I've been throwing at it while I've been hissing and booing at the screen on Saturdays between 9:30 and 10, the caped scarecrow shows up again and mumbles to himself that it is his "last chance." On top of that, Aya is back in the picture. Maybe Haruka will get more interesting after all? Granted, the sister's situation was quite a surprise but that only lasted for a couple of episodes

Wintersweet, did you ever get a PM updating you on those missed episodes?
