Or you might want to try Nyokei Kazoku http://jdorama.com/drama.973.htm The only drama I've ever seen where I wished EVERY character (except Ryoko) should be covered with honey and tied to an anthill!!

What are the good shows out this season? From what I gather Seigi no Mikata and Maou are good, but are there any others that is worth my attention? And please don't mention Code Blue or anything like that. I'm looking for substance, not fanboy/girly stuff.

My current season favourites:
1) Seigi no Mikata
2) Yasuko toKenji
3) Tomorow

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

One of the main traits of Shinji Nojima's dramas is its unpredictability. They can be extremely depressing and very hard to watch at times, so beware. (I am afraid to watch some of his best known works)

That's a different Ryoko-chan drama...

In Nyokei Kazoku, everyone is trying to angle out each other for inheritance money... Sweat

Hi new user here. Ive watched Hana Kimi and Nodame, and I was wondering if there are other comedies that have exaggerated action such as these that you would be able to suggest. My friend likes to call them "live action animes" haha. Thanks in advance.

In the case of Nodame, that's literally true... Victory! Peace!

I would recommend Kisarazu Cat's Eye, Densha Otoko, and Akihabara@deep.

I haven't seen Cat's Eye, but my bro has and he LOVED if. He said anyone that say and liked Tiger and Dragon would like Cat's Eye as well, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Hi everyone.
I'm new to this site and pretty noob to jdramas. The one's I watched have mostly been manga-turned-dramas and I found that I really like them. I like to compare the original manga to the direction of the drama.

So of the ones I've seen are:
Zettai Kareshi
One Pound Gospel
Kimi wa Petto
Gokusen 1/2
Hanakimi

I've also seen Yoiko no Mikata, Stand UP!!, Orange Days, and Kisarazu Cat's Eye. I realize I tend to watch drama's with Johnny's member's in them...

I watch them very quickly so I need some new ones! Can anyone please help?
Thanks! Smile

Ahaha...yes yes, I know. Looking back on it, it does come off as a bit fangirly... It's not that I actually listen to anything Johnny's, I just happen to follow the actors from one drama to the next Big Grin

Like running blind.

come on bmw-san. don't generalize...

Hi Lochly w00t!
not a drama but a movie starring Nino, Ao no Hono...
Nobuta wo Produce is good too. Antique Cake shop have yummy cakes with delicious Abe Hiroshi and young Takizawa. I would also recommend Osen.
For something different and sophisticated try Yasashii Jikan & Haikei Chichiuesama (NINO!!!).
