No SPEC this week because of Japanese Americans (which was very moving and made me cry buckets despite the "Japanese American's" inability to speak English >_> But meh, details).
Regarding SPEC, I love how they remix the ending song in each episode. Also:

The mystery behind Toma's injured hand. D: At the very end of the credits it showed her hand severed at the wrist. OUCH. Guess it wasn't just a broken arm after all.
Oh god episode 4 of Freeter. ;_; It hit me straight in the heart. This a very well written, well acted drama. I initially started watching it to feed my crush on Maruyama Ryuhei, but it's turned into one of the best this season. Once again Nino proves himself as a natural actor. Those tears...! It also reminded me just how much I like watching that guy in peril. lol
Nagareboshi is so good, too~ Ueto Aya is adorable and Takenouchi is so sweet. The other cast is likable too, especially Kitano Kii's rakugo fanatic boy friend. Goro-chan is also awesomely evil and sketchy.
SPEC, Freeter and Nagareboshi. Definitely the top 3 must-watch dramas this season b

I saw that too -> I hope we get some details on this.
Before starting a longer series like Hotman, I decided to watch Wagaya no rekishi, a 3 episode long SP. It follows a family from the 40ties to the 60ties. Some of my favorite actors are in it and some great people have cameos as famous people from that time. But overall I find it a very naive view of the past, nostalgia at its worst.

After finishing up with a long series like Queen Seon Deok(so much fun) kind of at a loss as to which to watch next. _________________

Same here. D:
Yeah, I had the same issues with Wagaya. It barely touched the surface of history. Though the cameos by famous people were cool, a lot of them felt forced as if included for the sole purpose of name dropping. I expected a little more from Mitani Koki so I was disappointed.

Just finished watching Teio. It was ok. I give it about a 6/10. It had a descent story about one guy working his way up from the bottom of the night club industry and eventually reaching the very top. _________________

Episode 7 of Manatsu no Merry Christmas, been an okay watch though not a classic, started to drag in the middle but really picked up last episode, hopefully that sets things up for a good ending.
Been really wanting to watch Hancho, downloads of the episodes are just so sporadic, some finish in a day or so, others haven't finished yet in over a week. _________________

Finished up Manatsu no Merry Christmas, no ground breaking drama but I ended up enjoying it, luckily it didn't end up as sappy as it could have been. The way they shot Miki in this drama really thought she was pregnant, checked and guess she wasn't. Whole cast was good, always enjoy seeing Ren Osugi in anything, thought Ai Kato's character Natsumi was the best though. Want to start Hancho, only 11 out of the 13 episodes are gonna end up downloading, think there's a problem with the 2 that won't, may watch it as it is and hope nothing major happened in those 2 episodes. _________________

Hi, I'm new to the forum , I've recently finished watching Bloody Monday which seemed really good to me...... until I sat back and thought about the holes in the plotline and how stupid both the police and the terrorist were.
Now watching Seigi No Mikata, which I really like.

Started Hotman - as such not so bad but:

I have already problems with the basic storyline - for example the little girl's neurodermitis origin and the bio food stuff, and not knowing who the mother is ... perhaps this will be part of a twist but I somewhat doubt it ...
