So my girlfriend & I finished Last Christmas over the break, and we're working on Hotaru no Hikari. With the economy down and both of jobs slowing, we need somthing with a happy ending. Any recommendations? And just for me, any classics? Preferably something where I can spot old cars and motorcycles.

Be Nice TO People was a real lift. Think there was a nice car in it too.

For romance/comedy, you could try Kekkon dekinai otoko and Muri na renai, neither of which have any fruityboys but do have great leads.

For mystery/comedy, you can't go past Kuitan 1 & 2. Very funny!

Not actually mystery (but they were scheming to steal stuffs) & not actually school life (they are schoolmates though) but Kisarazu Cats Eye is a pretty fabulous comedy. School life/comedy genre would be Stand Up! (Completely wacky for the first half of the series but wrapped it up wonderfully with life lessons on friendship & love by the end of the series) For romance/comedy genre I recommend Anego (Office Lady lovelife) & Kimi wa Petto (some were freaked out by the thought of owning a human pet but its an interesting perspective. I like it a lot and Jun was at his best)

Have fun watching

These don't really fit into the genre combinations you asked for, but they were really funny. Particularly the first two.

Ohsama no resutoran - French restaurant
Odoru Daisousasen - Police
Medaka - night school with students of all ages

I don't see Nodame on that list.

Wow, I'm really impressed. Finally some people that give some good list of dramas that is not over-posted. At least they are different from the list I gave. Well thank you all so much, I'll be sure to check em out.

Also, don't stop. Keep the list coming!! ^_^

Another great romance/comedy/family drama is Mukodono
The first episode (subbed) on utube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUxv_6P9bQY
Its about a very popular male idol (Tomoya Nagase as Sakuraba Yuichiro). He's cool and gorgeous as an artist but his real personality is actually loud, childish and homey.
The theme song is beautiful too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMKRpVcLXMk

Which one, the 2003 one right? I wanted to watch it but then again on another forum I heard some bad reviews on it. Can you tell me a bit more about the series please. Thanks. ~

Second that.

But the lack of girlyboys in the first two dramas might discourage some... I think it'd be the opposite.

Like on the link xploring posted, its the original Mukodono (2001). You can also read the summary there. I think it got an average 8 rating. Pretty good.
The 2003 wasn't that bad too but not as good as the original. Both are entertaining. I rated the original as 8/10 and the Mukodono 2003 a 7/10.

personally i love Japanese detective novels, esp. those of Matsmoto Seicho. so when i found out that there were jdoramas based on his works, I was more than excited. the recent adaptions with Ryoko Yonekura in the lead role are just AMAZING. i highly recommend them:

Kemonomichi
Black Leather Notebook
Bad People (Bad Men?)

^ A Ryoko-chan fan...!

I just finished watching Galileo... was freaking AWESOME!! Highly recommended.

Anyways, what should I watch now... Hmmm *Looks around*

Hello fellow JDorama fans, I was wondering has anyone here seen the Anego Special? I was a fan of the series but was a bit disapointed at the ending. I just noticed today that on this site when you search Angeo, it comes up saying 10 episodes and 1 Special. Not 100% sure but I think this is the first time that I've seen that there is a Special. Is this Special fairly new? Has anyone saw it, and if so, do you recommend it without giving anything away? Also where can I get find it?

Thanks in advance!
