if u guys like Meteor Garden 1, you might want to try the anime version called Hana yori Dango - I personally prefer that one. Others mentioned the manga was even better.
I think one of the reason MG2 wasnt as good is because that story wasnt based on the anime. hehehe.

Yup manga is better, it goes further into the story

I've only watched part of MG2 but its not good because its not based on the manga. The director made up the plot herself. MG1 however was genius. I have the anime series on tape, but only watched some of it. I like MG1 better imo.

Haha yea, if anything the theme song to the 2nd season was really good! I liked it at least. I wonder what the 1st season sounded like. I kinda want to watch it now.

i think i should really get around to watching 1 but i've been busy watching another drama

haha yea he's pretty cool. I wonder what other celebrities were in the anime. It's funny reading the manga though since Yoko Kamio puts so many commentary about what she thinks and what it's like creating the story.

Actually Kimura Takuya was not the voice of Hanazawa Rui in the anime. He was however the voice of Rui in the manga CDs. Which is basically voice actors reading the manga.....like a "books on tape" type of thing. You should see the covers of those CDs. Kimura Takuya looks SOOOO young! When I first saw it, I was, "Wow, he looks like he's 10 years old!"
