I watched the first episode of "Kirakira Kenshui" last night. http://www.jdorama.com/drama.1054.htm hummm. I have the feeling I'm gonna have to start channeling my inner eleven year old if I'm gonna have any chance at enjoying this series.

Admittedly, the girly video game graphics of the opening and closing credits are irritating for the most part, but Konishi Manami has me coming back for more.


So far.

BMW

I've always sort of liked Manami. Not so much that I'd go after a show just because she was in it. But I've never minded her.

But I do have to wonder who watched her other shows and thought, yeah, we have to get this girl into a silly, slap stick comedy.

It was an opportunity for her to be in a starring role... She was similarly kooky in Udon...

Yeah... I saw Udon.

She's just never struck me as a "kooky" person.

Well... I'll keep going. Hopefully I'll get into the spirit of the thing.

At least until Engine shows up.

Dang it, I might have to bite my lip and watch it because of Juri-chan.

It's not that bad. I really liked it a lot.

Erika Toda and Ueno Juri was enough encouragement for my brother to end up watching it. He doesn't care too much for Kimutaku but likes the cute girls.

Erika Toda?

Meh.

She has a much better role in Liar Game. But there's nothing spectacular about her.

On Topic: Re-visiting Nodame. I'm missing my Chiaki-sama.

Thanks for the heads up Right now watching the Dodgers/Angels game, but since the Dodgers have already filled their quota for runs (1) time to fire up epi 8 of Shomuni 2 @ Sensei, if you had a dog, you could have said you dog ate the copy, we would have believed that too!! (yeah, right )

But I did lose it... I don't lie. I found it this morning, tho. It was tucked away in my laptop bag.

I'll try to swallow the second episode today.

I just checked out the cast for Majo Nanako Matsushima AND Hitomi Kuroki!!!

On topic: Wrapped up epi 10 of Shomuni 2 better than Shomuni 1 so far!

i woke up early just to watch Beautiful Life.. at first i thought it was boring but i was wrong..

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

its a simple love story between Shuji and Kyoko.. at first they hate each other.. but in the end they fall in love. not to mention its like Ichi Ritoru no Namida romance, Aya and Asou. but this is much matured.. not to mention Kyoko is ill (i smell death again).. Tokiwa Takako hmm. to tell the truth at first i didnt like her hair.. lol.. but after the transformation.. she looks gorgeous.

episode 2 later after school..
Ja Mata..

I've come to the conclusion that it's pretty unavoidable in the individual threads since people wanna talk about how much they liked the show and the various scenes that they liked, etc., etc., etc.....

But for a general thread like this one or the Recommendations thread, the spoiler tags should still be used....

Episode 5 Love Revolution.

It starts a little slow. The story a little weak.
However, my first encounter with Esumi Makiko is proving to be great eye candy. Ryoko chan is her usual bubbly self and fun to watch. So all in all I'm enjoying this drama a lot. Give me a comedy romance with a couple of beautiful damsels and I'm happy.

Her hair is supposed to be whack, hence why he teases her later about it and she claims her friend was "trying something out". 'Sides, he's a hair dresser... so it makes sense, eh? I'm glad you're enjoying it.

@Ralph: That's exactly what i thought when I sent it to you. I know you so well.
