voice, boys before flowers, gundam 00

Oh, well, goddammit. Of course VOICE is just as enjoyable as Mei-chan no Shitsuji and Uta no Oniisan. Which means, despite that I have three dramas that I adore utterly this season, I still have to wait week to week for each of them. Add in the wanting each week for Decade and I'm going to claw someone's face off eventually

I'm going to be terrible at responding as well, between Voice ep 2 finally finishing its download and finishing up my anime series and Boys Before Flowers ep 5 also just having come out. It's like-- like Japan is either trying to give us ADD by making us hop around from series to series or trying to give us an attention span by getting us to sit still for so many great series lately.

Mei-chan no Shitsuji: I hadn't heard about the manga before, either, but you can totally tell it's originally based off one (no idea how faithful it is, god knows Japan isn't that great at it, though) and it's got the whole ikemen buffet thing going on, but... well. It's shoujo. And the glasses thing is totally shoujo and just totally Japan and probably just every place that's ever produced fictional stories. I hardly really even notice it anymore and, w-well. I have to agree that she looked a lot better without them. As cute as the glasses were, they just didn't quite fit her style. Though, the super-short haircut is growing on me a lot.

I'm hoping that it's not really about making her over so much as... well, shoujo is also about how the girl changes the situations around her, how she perserveres through all the troubles and eventually finds love and all that. (And I really do like the het with this series, I'm hoping for it to end up there, b-but. In the meantime. Rihito/Kento, it would be so hilarious. And so, so hot omg.)

Voice: I know what you mean. <3 He's being given something to actually work with here and he's totally running with it. Compare it to, say, Kuboaki or Teppei so far. While I like them both a lot, they really haven't established themselves as clearly in the roles, I don't think. I'm sure they will eventually and part of it is just that Yuuki had more to work with here, what with the scene at his family's place, but. I'm just really happy for Yuuki to be getting some really good roles lately because, seriously, he's a fantastic actor and he seems like an awesome person and I want to fangirl him tons. ♥

I'm not sure how I feel about the stubble, I still kind of really want to sit on him and take a shaving razor to his face, but the hair is kind of super fantastic. I-- I wouldn't mind it so much but this is the second role Yuuki has had with the facial hair and I'm willing to put up with it sometimes, but I don't want it to be forever, Yuuki! Admittedly, this character calls for it and I'm kind of totally okay with the hair he has here.

And he gets to do some physical stuff, which I love seeing because he really commits to it and that's what sells me on him in the role. And a;sldfkjaslk;jas okay Voice episode downloaded and ready to go. *flees to watch it* *___*

....w-well, at least yours had some reasonable content, I'm just sort of flailing over the same things over and over, I feel like. orz

Okay, so I've watched episode two, alskdhfgjskjhfgsd. IF HANEI AND TEPPEI ARE NOT MADLY IN LOVE, I WILL SOB. Also, they're all such boys, picking on her like that! And omfg again with how awesome Yuuki's role is and how much I adore him. And Eita-woobie is so effing cute and gahbibble the banter between Eita and Toma in the beginning and I just love them so much omg.

I have now watched episode two as well! I-- I am not sure if I want Hanei/Teppei or Hanei/Ryousuke or Hanei/EVERYONE because I love Yuuki and his character just that much.

But OMFG YES. THEY ARE SUCH BOYS. SUCH BOYS PICKING ON THE GIRL I LOVED IT.

Her reaction at the end, making him apologize to Hollywood was kind of beautiful, too, omg.
