Trick Season 3 2003 · TV Asahi

Perfect Ending...

10 / 10

15 Nov 2005

Trick, at this point, is my all time favorite Drama, it was great, I mean it succeeded in keeping me entertained, and I loved it. Everything was just perfect. Now, really, it all gets overshadowed by the perfect ending, sure I would love a Trick 4-9, but the final episode left me, and I hope all viewers, with a sense of finality and joy in that we were able to watch a truly amazing show. Trick, was good. No, Trick, was perfect.

...Then you'll love this, it does everything Trick did, but better. Stronger cases, better chemistry, this is easily one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. It is complete success.

Simply magic...

The plot was neat, though it falls apart a bit later on, but it really is a minor thing, when compared to who the overall writing and character chemisty comes together. Acting is more than solid, and the show as a whole provides more than enough entertainment if you are looking for something to get lost in two or three episodes at a time in.

The world's mushiest couple...

It's really between a 6 and a 7 I feel. The show has a number of issues, but at the same time it ahs strengths. I think really the show accomplishes nothing, they end up where they began essentially. Acting is solid and the TWO songs that are in the show are likable, but you may get sick of them. All the characters are done well except the main couple who don't really get much in the ways of development or screentime compared to everyone else. It's a good show sometimes, and sometimes I press pause and go read a comic book for an hour then come back to watch 15 more minutes. Classic cheesy drama, but I'm glad I watched it.

I have never watched a drama in such a short time span. It was fantastic. Acting, pacing, plot, music, oh man Queen, everything is phenominal. I am a Kimura Takuya fan now. I forever will clutch shirt with my right hand.

Gokusen 2002 · NTV

Goes beyond the GTO comparisons...

8 / 10

The show is very much GTO in so many ways its not funny, but the diferences are noticable as well. The drama follows essentially 40-50 characters maybe. GTO was about GTO, Gokusen was about everyone, her students, her family, the faculty, and the police officer love interests, all the characters are dynamic but not believable, which helps lend to the shows strong sense of humor. Humor IS the one thing the show has going for it, the jokes are funny, and they are pulled of well, there is chemistry from everyone even between those who receive the weaker lines. The show is best taken in as a whole, it is unwise to make judgements until the end of the special. Yukie Nakama is very much the star and I would probably watch Gokusen 2 only for that characther, though the show in the end is just slightly above your average disposable feel-good fluff. It is fluffy, but I have to admit, good fluff.

This is one of those job oriented dramas, I thoought it was similar to GTO, but not as high energy, which is fine. The characters were all fantastic, great acting all around, and as far as plot went, it was easy enough to get into, I enjoyed it, 'nuff said.

Fantastic all around

I love this drama, all the characters were likable, happy ending, good music, especially since the thems play about 96 throughout the show, but I didn't find them tiring. The acting was really good as well, I was shocked to find Sonny Chiba in the role, but he was one of the best characters, as well as Hiroshi Abe. Everyone did a great show, and I very much hope to see great dramas like this in the future.

Virgin Road 1997 · Fuji TV

I love this show

This is a very good show, it moves very fast, and it is very much worth it for the time invested. The story and the acting are really well done, and all the characters likable. I enjoyed this very much.

This happened to be my first, and is one of my favorite dramas out of the few I've seen. It's great, I mean you walk away with a smile every single time. Good stories, great actors, and overall fun. This is one of few things that shouldn't have ended so soon. Good stuff, from beginning to end, just purely good stuff.

GTO 1998 · Fuji TV

Great, just perfect

My first full dorama, and I loved it, I mean i really did. The self-referecial humor is the best. And yes, I am going to comment on the great job sorimachi did. He made this show what it is, it couldn't have been better. Now go watch.
