Hai. Ringu http://www.jdorama.com/drama.335.htm

Also Rasen, which was a sequel: http://www.jdorama.com/drama.330.htm

Thank you guys ^^

I'll try Trick and the drama version of ringu.

Heres a really silly Anime Style JDorama we watched the last few days. It aired on tv tokyo since oct 2007...

Yes, its a dorama version of the classic anime, but it happily plays tongue-in-cheek with every anime clichee and stereotype one can think of (obviously start with ... fan service... ).

25 episodes in typical handy 20minute anime episode duration ...

Er, what's the name of that?

Oh, thanks.

Now that you've told me, I can see part of it on the picture.

I've seen the live-action movie and I knew there was an anime, but I didn't know there was a series too

A.D.

The problem is... Eriko Sato doesn't play Cutie Honey in the TV series.

yeah i've lost touch with this side of myself.
me being out alot more now, plus my ps3 keeps me company i never have time anymore. LOL.
but yeh, recommendations are welcomed.

I was hoping someone could help me... I've watched quite a few doramas in the past 3 month, and now I don't know what to watch next? >_>

Doramas I DON'T want to watch (because I've tried them or I don't like the plot) are Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, historical/horror dorama, Taiyou no Uta and Honey&Clover (although I love ikuta touma ._.)
Sport-Dorama aren't a no-no but they should focus on other things too óo
And I guess I'm not exactly the target audience for Doramas that focus on middle aged people with working/family problems.. :x

I'm not so sure about that one because she says that she's "not exactly the target audience for Doramas that focus on middle aged people with working/family problems."

@Yola

I had a long think, may be
Summer Snow (this should be a winner for you)
Beach Boys (although this one does focus on grown men with problems, they are not middle-aged yet i.e. 30-40)

It isnt really though. It is about the son as much as the father certainly. And Yola likes a sobfest. Yasashii makes for regular weeping.
Besides it is a great drama. Everyone should see it.

I think they were in their mid-twenties in that one

**feeling old**
Love BEach Boys though!!

Ah, that's true. And if it's a sobfest that she wants, then this sounds like a good one.

Speaking of sobfests, I know this is a "drama" recommendation thread, but what about Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu, the movie version? That was a really great one and I heard that it was better then the drama version.
