Water Boys 2

[Ken-chan]

yeah..last episode is just fantastic..10/10 is not enough

and who wouldn't like to be part of that show I could be a excange student from sweden who discovers syncro and getts the girls in the end

There are indeed very few Japanese in Sweden. Or maybe they're hiding, who knows. Too bad for me who can't live without Japanese culture either!

Wow, I would like to be a half too. :D
It's interesting how you, who have partially Japanese families, are as much attracted by the Japanese culture (*cough* and girls) as all the others "nerds" around (like me). I wish I knew what it's like.

I've noticed too that it's mostly women... Kinda embarrasing, if you ask me. What will the world think of Swedish men? ^^;
Can't blame them, though.

Man, all these bukatsu animes and dramas... When will they make one about kyuudou? Maybe exchange students starting their own kyuudou club, and going to the nationals? And then getting all the girls, of course. Or would it be impossible to make a drama about that after all? T_T

Hmm..the file file for ep 12 is only about 1,5h..isn't it suposed to be 2h? are the last 30 mins that are missing in the file the ceremony where they celebrate the finishing of the last ep?

Don't worry...you didn't miss any of it! Ep.12 => around 2hr minus CM's= 1hr 32min (well...at least that's what i think).

[SPOILERALERT!!!!!]
too lazy to write a PM so everyone who don't wants to know how it ends, don't read this post!!!! I only writ it very short






School festival is canceled because of a typhoon, pool is unusable. They convince principal to let them do their syncro performance next day. she agrees. Whole school helps fixing the pool (even Bakayo) and next day they perform a great show, everybody is moved to tears. Eikichi-kun moves back to his father without saying good bye to his friends (the father now accepts his son even though he missed the performace because of the typhoon). Shiori runns to the train station and hands over a present from the friends to Eikichi and the train leaves.
As the train is on its way Eikichi sees the whole syncro team run after the train..THE END




this were the most important parts I guess..hope no one who didn't want to know read it ^^

[IkematsuSosuke]

SPOILER*
I got all of that..but why did he leave? His friends and girl is there..so why leave?

the most i ever stayed in japan at a time was almost 3 weeks. Soo it'll be a totally different experience staying there for a year.. You're pretty good for understanding japanese despite of not going to school.. all you did was u learned from your mom.. quite impressive.. you like japanese girls? hah

well..school is over and he has to do something..and the most important part is that he wants to be with his father and talk about all the stuff he never could while the father disrespected him..

well..didn't really learn it in any way..it's just like I grew up with it, justy like I did with the swedish..sounds kinda weird but that's how it is.
I mean..you didn't really have to learn your home language either, you just happened to learn it while you grew up..same for me but I ust had 3 languages when I grew up first swedish and japanese and when we moved to switzerland there was german too. and now I'm back in sweden ^^

and yes, I like japanese girls but it doesn't really matter is they are european or japanese or whatever, there are always nice girls in all countries I guess so as long as they are good looking, nice and fun I'll take them

[IkematsuSosuke]

When you're a newborn..you can learn up to 5 languages..just as long as you hear it often and see the expression that goes with it..newborns can pick up expression really well..and hearing is their most developed sense.
All babies learn language the same way..if the baby hear Japanese and English the baby will keep the Japanese and English sound..if you don't you drop it..some stuff I learn from my child and adolesence classs

I see, I guess that's good..but I wanted him to stay with the girl.

well..she asks him "kitto mata aeru ne?" which means "We'll meet again, right?" and he answers yes so maybe something might happen later ^^

[jjpsychic2]

new topic..here..

what dramas are you guys looking forward to watch?

Actually I'm almost finished dl-ing SOS.. so i'll be able to start that soon.. and i really want to watch stand up.. i'll prolly rent the videos if i can never get anyone to seed it..

I've watched quite a few dramas..prolly over 60-ish but have written comments about 40 dramas.. some of the dramas..i can't remember whats it bout.. i actually wanna watch ienakiko 1 and 2 again.. cuz that was classic..

[Fuuj]

Hah, just got around to watching the final episode. Excellent!

I think most who have seen the whole series saw that it was much better than the first (tho I still liked certain parts of the first more), and the final episode felt more complete; and hey, the performance rocked.

It's been fun discussing the show with you all, and let's hope there's a third.

Ken-chan:
That's really cool, I want to learn lots of languages, too :D I know two right now, and still consolidating Japanese ^^Y

jjpsychic2:
You'll like S.O.S., it's very interesting.

[Ken-chan]

yeah..lets hope for a waterboys 3 next summer ^^

and I have no idea what drama I'll be watching from now..maybe I'll go back to anime again we'll see what I can find ^^

[gaidal]

Well I've still got quite a few WB2 episodes left to watch, but in case you find some other nice drama please tell us! ^^

I think GTO is the best one I've seen so far, it happened to be on TV while I was in Japan and was just what I needed at the moment! I love those Japanese "we can solve all problems if are honest and just believe in ourselves and find our inner hidden spiritual power" style anime and dramas, can't get enough! Tenisu no ouji-sama (Prince of Tennis) is pretty much like that too, and I liked the first ep of eesu wo nerae...

Do you know any other drama that fits this description? :D

gaidal,

I believe gokusen is very similar to GTO..it's like Great Teacher Nakama Yukie.. a female version.. It's more of a yakuza type drama.. I bet you'll like it..

btw..have you guys seen ikebukuro west gate park? I think thats one of the best drama programs i've seen.. i wish they made a sequel on that.. but they couldn't due to the many gangs in japan today..
