dude, listen to their (suave yamapi, tu_tricky, quilver) recommendation. they know their doramas and won't steer you wrong!
I haven't seen as nearly as much at Tu, but i have seen my fair share, and there are some, that you would rather skip on....and some worth not skipping on...like GTO, start with that one, and go thru the good list of j-dramas, and you will be coming back for more.

i can see it now, a couple of weeks from now, he'd be fiending and having the shakes, saying "more dorama..... I'll suck your "D" for some drama!!!!" hahahahaha... _________________

without Bittorent, this is not at all possible...
the land of j-dramas..............
but of course direct download...but that is tougher, to get someone to upload it for you..

youtube is another kind of direct download. You can watch some dramas and many animes with subtitles on Youtube but the quality isn't as good as the one you download from bittorrent or other file-sharing software.

umm.....As of recent, Attention Please comes to mind.
Ueto Aya plays a Rock Singer who ends up trying to become a Cabin Attendent. I think it might be what you're looking for, plus its definately worth watching. If you don't mind watching it RAW....the last ep comes out Tuesday. If you need subs, Kioku has released eps 1-7 on Jpopsuki Tracker.
I'm trying to think of other dramas....but can't come up with any. Sorry _________________
it's called Angel (or Tenshi) and by the looks of the trailer is it quite new..
It doesn't have to be the official site, fansites are okay too..
(if there is a "help" thread on finding doramas or movies, please tell me, so I won't flood the recommendation thread with annoying questions ) _________________

hey =) .. i'm quite new here.. i registered some time ago ..but my internet connection was down =( .. so i'm back again =) ..
I need some recommendations on japanese dramas..
I've only finish watching one whole drama, which is nobuta wo produce, recommended by a friend.. and I must say that I really enjoyed the drama. I also loved its storyline which is a wonderful change from all the love triangle dramas i've been watching so far (mostly korean and taiwan dramas) .. I also watched a few episodes of Gokusen and Gokusen 2. And that's about all my knowledge for J doramas =( .. I'm now trying to watch more though, so I hope people here can help me. Thanks in advance! Arigato ^_^..
p.s: are kurosagi , densha otoku and anego worth watching?? I enjoyed YamaPi's acting very much in nobuta.. so i was thinking maybe i want to watch another drama by him ..but then again, people often say ..don't choose a drama by its cast..

I don't know bout Anego. sorry.
Kurosagi is a modern day Robing Hood to sum it up. At least thats what i get after watching 4 eps. Its ok....i mean its interesting and all, but doesn't hit you like Nobuta does.
Densha Otoku is a must watch. I'll leave it at that
Other dramas I recommend are
1.Attention Please
2.Orange Days
3.GTO since you haven't seen it.
4.Last Christmas
5.Kisarazu Cats Eye.
Good mix of Comedy and Romance for ya _________________

Anego isn't bad - Shinohara Ryoko really brings the whole cast together but if you like jin, you'll probably like this one even more
kurosagi was not as good as i would have hoped it to be, again, if you like yamapi then you'll probably like this one
densha otoko is worth watching since its very different from the usual
i'd also recommend hana yori dango, good luck!! in addition to KT's post _________________

i totally agree...overhyped and overrated....the story and the acting are bleh....
"bang" mido.
edit: if you wanna see maki in a much better performance watch the 2005 movie Always San Chome...it's a heartwarming affair with better acting and more evocative storytelling!
you can find the torrent i posted in either the maki or koyuki thread

how about "Tokyo Friends" ? If you like Ai Otsuka and her music, then it's a must-see. It's a 5 episode special drama and the batch torrent is available on D-Addicts.
Synopsis from DramaWiki
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Tokyo_Friends
Otsuka Ai plays the character of a small town girl who goes to Tokyo chasing after her dream, there she finds a part-time job as a waitress in a small restaurant where she makes new friends. This dorama focuses on Ai and her friends, their friendship and their problems.
