Ice queen and a-hole? Sounds like it'd be interesting, but I still I think I'd pass because of everyone's descriptions of it. Thank goodness I'm crossing something off of my list of dramas to watch! Mr Green


I'm with A-Oyaji. I liked the drama. But then, I like dramas with kids...

Me too. I'll send you a copy of Minna Mukashi wa Kodomo Datta once the subs are finished. It has kids, and Kuninaka Ryoko, AND Eita.

Oh, I watched ep. 8 yesterday while checking the subs. Another sweet ep Smile

Koyuki is gorgeous, but i'm beginning to think she doesn't have much range as an actress...


And Kimutaku doesn't have ANY range as an actor so there ya go. I did enjoy the orphanage parts but the racing and romance was meh.

I found Bloody Monday quite enjoyable, if you ignore all the plotholes and cheesy moments.

Watching Honjitsu mo Hare, Ijou Nashi ep 1 and translating. Well, it's not as omgkillmenow boring as I expected at least. Having really low expectations tends to be helpful.

Really? Isnt that about the boxer? I think that was the one and only series that Fukada didnt suck.
She played a role suitable for her for once.
A freak. hehe
Anyway I did like it. There was a certain charm in the characters for me.

Her acting in To Heart suited her character, I thought. The problem was she seemed to act the same way in other series after that.


I rewatched the first episode of Beachboys last night. It was better than I remembered. I was a bit confused the first time I watched it. Having watched it before, I could understand the expressions and little hints that were supposed to introduce the characters.
Sweat I can't write proper English now after editing Engrish subs for the last few days. Beaten

Be sure to check in on The BEach Boys thread. Some great pics there. Wink

And that is a good summing up of Fukada's acting talents.

The Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (first two episodes)

The nudity parts of the dramas cracked me up

i just finished Kiina's 1st epi and it was surprisingly GOOD. MUCH MUCH BETTER than VOICE. I hate to say this but seriously, it's much more interesting than VOICE. I find Kanno Miho's character, more believable and loveable than Eita's.

So...my vote goes to Kiina which is based on facts and actual cases which to me is more interesting than what they have in VOICE.

I actually thought they were similar in some ways, but like you, I enjoyed Kiina a lot more. Kanno Miho was fun to watch. Sawamura Ikki and Shirashi Miho were both very convincing during their limited screentime. I think I will continue to watch Kiina for the whole series.

Yesterday I finally got around to watching the last 4 eps of Zettai Kareshi and felt a few Brain cells inside me die Bang Head

It's not all the drama's fault as it was originally a manga. But as things panned out I just wanted to hit my head against a wall. Won't be watching that one again �ʁ� really sorry to any fans out there.

I will admit the end was a bit sad.

I finished watching Tonsure.

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Tonsure

Okay, here's my theory: The EngRish subs on the copy I bought were so bad that this little show simply wasn't able to overcome them... and that's why I'm willing to relegate these two discs to the whogivesadamn spindle.

It's a shame, really. I like the two main players. And the idea looked like it was something a good actress and a comic could have some fun with.

But it just didn't translate.

I am, however, having some fun with my lunch time series. I'm rotating episodes of "Zatoichi", "Aibou", & "Momotaro Zamurai".

Really? I liked her in Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake. Sure, she was over dramatic, but I really enjoyed that series a lot.

On topic: Watched an Aibou episode last night. Prolly gonna watch some other ones tonight too. Big Grin
