Now gonna start Hoshi no Kinka ... lets see ...

lets see, finished Antique friday night/sat morning.
Started H2 sat morning, finished it sat night/sun morning

started Koi ni Ochitara sunday night, first time i've seen mr smap in a drama.. very wierd, though, he seems to be eating just like when he's on Dotch.

i'm finally coming to the end of 'moto kare' i find ryoko's character annoying and everybody else appears to be a wet blanket! 'ikuji nashi' as they say.

Ooops! I made the mistake of starting Shota no sushi stone cold sober last night. Not the way to go. This might turn out to be a rough series for me to like. On the plus side, Kimura Yoshino is supposed to be in there somewhere. On the minus side, I'm over 9 years old, and Japanese food frightens me. I'll see how it fares this weekend, once properly lubricated.

How many beers would that equate to, Geez?

BMW

After watching the Iggles destroy my Niners yesterday I was pretty well medicated and ready for another try at watching old Shota.

How big a dose? Gee, couldn't tell you. But I will say, if you watch a couple of episodes at the first fast forward speed on the Panasonic DVD recorder... you know the one where it still plays the sound, but at double speed... it can be a pretty funny show.

This is gonna be another one of those, "finish everything on your plate! There are starving children in New Jersey who'd love to change places with you..." shows.

I'll watch all of it. But I won't be happy.

Heh, I never thought about trying it that way... Good idea

Maybe with the subbed version of Love Revolution (but returning to normal speed whe Ryoko shows up ).

I think you will enjoy Ganbatte Ikimasshoi, i am on ep3 now.
I have the whole thing d/l'ed, now just waiting for the subs to come out for the final ep.

Been catching up on old shows... just finished Long Vacation and Gokusen. Both are very good. The music in LV is awesome and I Love Yankumi! Watching Love Generation now and Nemureru mori is probably next on the list.

Still watching and loving Pure.Ep 6 so far.

Geezer, I think this one is right up your alley.

I'm currently watching Gokusen and Five. Five's taking me a while to finish because its torrents don't have a lot of seeds. D: It's been almost a month and I still only have 1-4. Which is sad, because Five was the first drama I watched (even if it was only the first episode).

At least I have most of Gokusen already downloaded.

I finished GTO a few days ago, though. \8D/ It was my second Jdrama.

/end babble

just started d/l'ing via BT, episode 1 of Sekai no Chuushin de Ai o Sakebu, heard it was a good one. But watching Hotman/Densha Otoko currently.

Eve,

Hmm, I just read this so naturally I jumped right over to the description of the show to take a look.

25-year old Yuka Orihara (Emi Wakui) is a lovely and cheerful woman Uh-oh. Something bad�fs gonna happen here. We cannot really see any differences in her appearance, but she was born with a lower IQ than average. Lovely, cheerful�c but childlike and simple. That don�ft bode well. She grew up with lots of love of her parents, so she has become a good-natured girl. However�c here it comes. she cannot control her feelings very well, and sometimes she does something too wild, which concerns people around her. While her intellectual ability is low, she has an amazing sense in arts. She has been drawing artistic paintings, and creating unique objects which reflect her pure heart. an idiot savant with a pure heart of gold. Uh-huh. Her mother (Jun Fubuki) always watches her with love and even her late father, who was also a painter, still influences her. As if guiding her from beyond. Besides, she has a good friend; Ryo Kanzaki (Katsunori Takahashi). He is her cousin and like a brother to her. Naturally But Yuka's peaceful life suddenly changes Say it ain�ft so!!! when her work gets a prize at a competition to which Ryo has entered her work secretly. The bastard! She is forced to come out of her small world to an unknown world. Oh no! And she meets a man; Oh thank goodness Toru Sawatari (Shinichi Tsutsumi), a reporter for a photo-magazine. He used to be a journalist of a newspaper, but was demoted to an associate company a few years ago.Probably for being too honest, and too good looking. But he is determined to return to the paper as he hates the power.Fight The Power! Toru, who is very cool and has a past, starts having a business relationship with Yuka. Business. Uh-huh! He does not care about her retardation and treats her as an ordinary person. This comes from his indifference, but as Yuka believes he is a 'nice' person, he gets attracted to her purity...Who wouldn�ft? Purity and a vacant smile always trump big breasts, a tight butt, and long legs. Don�ft they?

Up my alley?

I know you're a tough as nails rider chic, Eve, but I'm wondering... how hard a shot to the head did you take when you fell off that horse yesterday? You know... even John Wayne went to the Doctor's office once in a while.

Honestly thats what I thought when I read the synopsis. But a good friend who has good taste told me to check it out.
And ..... Wakui has a lovely face, big breasts, and a tight butt to go with her purity.
The fall I took was pretty hard and I did get a crack in the mouth like I was hit by a prizefighter.
But.... Im on ep 8 and the series is very absorbing. Nothing really awful has happened (though there is still time) The heroine is multifaceted.
Ill let you know if it holds up through the end.

Looked it up, Pure had very high ratings.

Started watching Bus Stop, but stopped as my GF was getting jealous of Iijima Naoko.

You dont have time becuase youre moderating, Ryoko-chaning and otherwise posting with gusto. Neh?
Im surprisded Ive found time to fit it in.

I just finished Pure and I really liked it.

I might have liked it even more if some moron hadnt felt the need to email a spoiler for the ending when I mentioned that was what I was watching. I was like, WTF? I was only on ep 9.
Could have smacked them.

Oh well on to the next. Ive seen the first ep of Gakkou No Sensei. And it looks like it might be amusing. Especially for Yuko Takeuchi fans.

where did you go download Gakkou no Sensei? (english subs?) my friend was recommending the show for a different type of role for yuko-chan. So was thinking of catching that after Grumpy Gene

Don't you just hate that??

A smackdown is in order. And then some.

Eve,

I guess my opinion of Emi is colored by the fact that I've never seen her in anything where she didn't look like her dog just died.

Re: Naoko, the girl friend, and Bus Stop.

I can see her point. With Bus Stop it's tough to claim that you're fascinated with the plot.

So there's really only one honorable solution.

Stay up really late and watch the episodes on the sly. Naoko's worth losing a little sleep over.
