I'm watching some old Zatoichi TV episodes I snarfed off Usenet. Not as good as the movies, but still pretty entertaining.

Can't wait. I've got the '74 season on order from Netflix, but those bastids insist I wait my turn.

I've heard from some other fans that the TV show was something of a come down from the movies... but heck, how could it not be?

I don't care. I've seen all of the movies. And I want more. And truth to tell, I never thought I'd have the chance to see the TV shows.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Peace! u should see the special for gokusen 1 too! sooooo goood, i loved it!

awww, no more sawada! sad times. oh well, it's ok. i'm not too sure how i'll feel about the new group but i've yet to watch it so i'll reserve judgement.

exactly, when you are following more than one popular j-drama, and it take a whole week for the new ep....why not? watch them all, cause it is all so too addicting,

hi all! i finally got around to watching Gokusen Season 1. awww, it's sooooo cute!! i love it. i'm waiting for Season 2 to finish downloading. i'm wondering if it's as good as the first season.

yea, Gokusen 1 was good...yankumi(Yukie Nakama), did a good job. I haven't seen the second one yet.

currently on Nobuta no Produce, 1 Litre, and HYD.
Also Kikenna Aneki and Boku no dake madonna...
but of course they are all work in progress as new eps are being released weekly, almost.

currently HYD, random epi of yoshitsune plus 1 liter and just started with Ganbatte Ikimasyou hmm.... i think i didnt finish my anego the other time.... maybe gotta rewatch it again...


@MissMonica try read alot of pages back, you might see several comments about Gokusen 2 just to give u an idea ... i hope there's no spoiler in it thou....

You can always wait for a series to complete and watch a few episodes in a row. For me, it doesn't cure the addiction and lack of sleep, but I can watch a whole series in 3 or 4 days.
Sometimes less... Damn cliffhangers...

I've added

Orange Days
Densha Otoko
Stand Up!
Brother Beat
Pride

to my viewing schedule, along with the weekly installments of Hana Yori Dango and Nobuta wo Produce.

I've been in winterbreak mode ever since thanksgiving...

well my backlog is so large i don't merely watch the shows that are currently airing i have entire shows backlogged...well unless you have sooo many dramas under your belt that you only have the new ones left to watch....that's not me i've seen a lot but not that many.

You're not missing much.

Just picture the first Gokusen with different pretty boys... That's what you're missing.

What about the episode where the space aliens kidnap Rina Uchiyama naked?

Are you kidding me? That episode is on DVD and I'm wearing out the disc replaying that scene.

Finished watching Long Vacation. I enjoyed it and would rate it 9/10.

Kinda surreal romance drama. Everyone leads carefree life, main actor is a 24 year old handsome boy living away from his parents, financially stable, knows piano and drinks beer with cool looking friends every night. Organise a roof-top BBQ once in a while. If only it happens to my life..

Anyone has the Long Vacation OST? I only have the piano OST. I'm looking for the actual OST. Thanks.

"Long Vacation"? I hope you enjoy it, because it's my favorite show.

I just started watching "Ai wa douda!" ("What about Love"). It's an older show, 1992, but it gives me a chance to see favorites from movies -- Misa Shimizu and Ken Ogata -- back when they did TV.

And it's fun to see folks like Takako Tokiwa and Masaharu Fukuyama as kids playing small supporting roles.

if Long Vac is anything close to Love Generation, i will definitely like it. T. Kimura is a good actor in that one and he is in Long Vac too. I recognize the one girl from "Pretty Girls", she is also in Long Vac as well. I only saw a clip of it as i was scanning thru it. I am going to look forward to seeing this one.....classic 1990's drama....sounds funny to say that.

That's a great idea. I'll try it.

yeah ur right...inamori izumi is the one you're rappin' about..but you can't compare Long Vacation to Pretty Girls (not that you were)...that's like comparing roses to shit.
