Episode 6 of 'Danda Rin'. Yuko has gotten less robotic, but the drama hasn't gotten any better.

Episode 6 of 'Tokyo Bandwagon'. Almost as exciting as a bowl of natto without the soy sauce and mustard.

Episode 8 of 'Dokushin Kizoku'. It's holding up, mostly because of the actors.

Finsihed DR X.
What can I say but Ryoko gets better with every passing year!

Saikou no Rikon Ep.1: Maki Yoko is as gorgeous as ever, short hair notwithstanding, and can act the pants off most J-actresses.

I like short hair. Especially on Maki-chan.

Episode 7 of 'Ando Lloyd'. Is a drama too violent if you start having Columbine flashbacks while watching it?

You went to Columbine?

I got to watch episode 7 of Ando Lloyd while staying in Kyoto, but missed 6 and 8 as my friends in Tokyo don't have a television. Just watched them today. I will say that it's... unpredictable.

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

The developments with both kid sisters was interesting.

No, but I think we've all seen the videos. Anyway, up to episode 7 on 'Danda Rin' and 'Tokyo Bandwagon'. Just killing time and they both provided a paycheck for Yuko and Mimura.

Funny how tastes can differ. I really love Danda Rin. Thought ep 6 was a little less good, but really loved ep 7 again! The stories are a bit simple, but Takeuchi Yuka has this wonderful expressions and her motorial movement is so funny! The whole Labor Standards office is pretty funny in my eyes

Started Carnation a week ago and up to ep 58 now. I'm becoming an asadoraholic
The opening by Sheena Ringo is so wonderful I can't skip it. So saw that 58 times now and counting

It would be a really dull world if we all liked the same things.

Episode 9 of "Ando Lloyd". There was enough blood in this that it could have been directed by Takeshi Kitano.

Finished ama-chan over the weekend...
Its been a long series but quite entertaining

Amachan!

hehehe.

been reading every article i coudl find on amachan the other day...
There was something mentioned about the tourist building in amachan being demolished.
granted, they didnt actually do the filming inside that building (just the exterior facade), but for those who plans to visit the location, thats one less photo they can take.

I was thinking Tarantino, but I see what you mean.

The whole series was beyond far fetched. It was a medical comedy I thought and a fun vehicle for Ryoko.

Check out my drama trade list: http://www.freewebs.com/evendrama/

Finished 'Dokushin Kizoku'. 'Sabrina' with a Japanese twist but a good job the four main actors. Hideaki Ito is probably glad to get the bad taste of 'Doubles' out of his system.

Sounds like the same plot from Kekkon Shinai.

Getting ready to start Doctor X, season 2... Once I get all the episodes hardsubbed.

Doctor-X season 2 marathon... All nine episodes done.

Finished 'Haitatsu Saretai Watashitachi':http://www.jdorama.com/drama_1901.htm

Another good short drama from WOWOW. Only five episodes but still well done with real actors.

I'm glad they had the epilogue though, that last scene in the theater left me a little confused. And I'm not sure if Hasegawa could have really gotten pregnant the way she did. Speaking of Hasegawa at first when I saw how they cut her hair short I thought, "Geez, she looks like an obaasan!" But then I checked and realized she's already 35. Another sign we're all getting older. But like Hitomi Kuroki, Hasegawa is still going to look better at 50 then most women do at 25.

It gets my vote for the worst hospital ever. And that scene of the two old men fighting? Hilarious and ridiculous. I rather liked Kishibe Ittoku as Kanbara Akira, though. He and his melon always provided laughs.

I hope season 2 is slightly better.

It's very similar: Corrupt, conniving, underhanded management and Ryoko sticking it to them every chance she gets... I love it.

Hehe. How is Fujiki doing in it so far?
