Episode 8 of Saigo kara, , ,. Not too long ago I ranted somewhere (Ender's Girl blog I think) about how we always have to have the obligatory gay character. Looks like we've reached that point with this one. Usually not a good sign, most of the time it means the writers have run out of ideas.
The drama is still okay though. I'm liking it more when Iijima's character is around, less so, Koizumi.

Wait who's gay?! I haven't gotten that far! I hope they treat the story line well most japanese dramas seems to just use gay characters as comical
and just finished ep 05 of namae o nakushita megami this ep made me cry and angry some of the characters are so ruthless!
Attempting to watch "Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi" aka fantastic deer man.
I didn't watch beyond 20mins of Ep1 in 2008 when i saw a scene of a student telling her teacher she was late because she rode her deer to school and was fined for parking the deer wrongly???

Episode 3 of Koi no Chikara, bit of an older one but really enjoying it, Eri has been quite good in this.
Also episode 2 of Romes, was a 2-parter to start off, seems a bit predictable but think it'll be okay. _________________

Epsiode 9 of [/i]Stepfather Step. It hasn't gotten any better, but Sei Hiraizumi showed up. I think it's a rule that you can't have a drama without Sei Hiraizumi in at least on episode.

Hungry! ok, the food does look great.
While waiting on the other stuff I've been watching decided to check it out. It's got Ryoko Kuninaka and is getting decent ratings. After two episodes I can see the reason for the ratings - fangirls!
It's not really bad, like you said, the food looks great, but it's not anything special either.

I kind of dropped it, liked the first episodes but then lost interest. Maybe the ratings are good because it follows Strawberry Night?
I am still watching Strawberry Night. I think the scriptwriters put a lot of effort in honing the characters of the police force (plus they are quite well acted out) but the cases are weird or just plain boring. But maybe it's me.

Finished Romes which turned out to be an okay watch, nothing really great about it but good stories/cases and the pace was really fast, worth a watch if you're wondering about it.
Up to episode 8 of Koi no Chikari, been solid but not as good as the reviews said it would be, many sub-plots but there's no main storyline to it.
Also the first 2 episodes of Atami no Sousakan, don't know why it took so long to get around to it but seems like it's going to be a real winner. _________________

Stepfather Step episode 10. I wonder if this was written by the same person that wrote BOSS? I had to wade thru 9 episodes of crap to finally get to an episode that was real good.
