[Discussion + Screencaptures]: Hana Yori Dango II - Episode 01
Heyho~
so yesterday I finally got to watch Hana Yori Dango II - Episode 1 (of course WITH subs) ^^
Those 2 hours were really long, but really short !
Well, as some of you already said - the new intro is NOT as good as the old one. I think so, too, but it´s not bad either is it ? And the song at the end was great ! I loved it !!
Ok first of all: Basically I really loved the first episode ! BUT it was really, really a sad start !! :/ ................ Tsukasa no BAKAAA !!! ... Well for those like me who have already read the manga and watched the anime, there was not REALLY something new ... but they changed the order of events, so .... for me it´s very confusing ! What do you think ? XD On the other hand it´s good that they AGAIN do not follow exactly the manga story ... otherwise it would be boring ! :)
Also ... didn´t this episode begin just like the oneshot ("volume 37") that was out last year ? (only that Makino there was going to France for a wedding XDDD ...) ???!!
One of my favorite scenes was this one:
That was the first time we saw/heard Makino actually SAYING that and how much she likes Tsukasa, right ??!!! (If I remember right, such scenes were even VERY seldom in the manga ^^) ... so I really really really loved that one scene !! (;___;) .....
Another scene I liked very much was when Tsukasa and Makino met in NY by chance:
And a very funny scene was Makino trying to speak English ! XDDDD
(and that way she wants to becoma a lawyer ??? btw. in the manga/anime we don´t get to know what Makino wants to do after her graduation, do we ?)
The "new" characters:
Oribe Junpei (well his appearance in the manga/anime was pretty short ^^)
Acutally I loved the manga scene more ! In the Live Action they mixed up 2 stories (in season 1 the thing with Sakurako and now in season 2 with Junpei ... originally there was only the event with Junpei ... who had a grudge against Tsukasa, kidnapped Makino ... then Tsukasa came to rescue her [back then he was still in Japan !!!] ... and got beaten up by Junpei´s friends .. ^^ ... I REALLY LOVED IT !! ...) .... so this time Tsukasa is NOT coming ... of course ... we already have seen that scene in season 1 plus he´s in NY now XD .... but it was not too bad that Tsubaki came, was it ? ^__^
<~ Junpei and Makino in the original scene ^^ (Makino gets her hair cut there, too XD ... I was hoping to see that in the Live Action, too !)
Then there was Tsukasa´s birthday party ! Back then (in the anime/manga) he was still in Japan ... and invited Makino, because he wanted to intodruce her to her mother ...
There was no Shigeru back then ! XD But I think how they did it in the Live Action was pretty good :) .... (poor Tsukasa, not knowing about anything XD) .... Nevertheless he was REALLY going on my nerves during the WHOLE episode x___X BAKA TSUKASAAA !!!)
I liked the actor they picked to play Shigeru !!! I soooooooooooo hoped that she would have short hair and be funny and boyish !!! YAAAAY !!!!
<~ That´s Shigeru in the manga/anime ! ^^
It´s still very confusing, because there was already a fiancé in season 1, nee ? XD
I wonder if there will appear scenes like the following, too (because I liked them ! XD)
Shigeru is trying to get Tsukasa´s attention with her body XD
And Rui + Makino getting closer again (*___*) ... I really want to see this (kyaaa Oguri Shun ! XDDDDDD)
So .... you could say I really loved the 1st episode ! ... Although I think we will be going through hard times with Tsukushi and Tsukasa again ^^ ... but otherwise it wouldn´t be fun, would it ?
So now I want to hear your opinions !!!
At last: Are there screencaps out there yet ? I´ve only seen one post @ hanayoridango so far .. and there were only a few caps. I´ve thougt about making some myself again (but after capping ALL of season 1 ... I don´t know XD ... it´s really a lot of work !)
P.S.: Screencaps were all made by me, you can find them at my journal here or here.
