I don't really watch J-Dramas in any sane order (as you may have noticed, since I still haven't watched a lot of the new ones) but I'm starting to notice that while I love a lot of the recent high school/uni based dramas, I find myself enjoying the dramas with older characters in it a lot more. Especially the ones from about 2004 prior. Maybe cos I'm not a teen anymore, I'm getting more impatient with the whole OMG JUST TELL HIM/HER ALREADY patterns. Maybe it's cos the casts are getting younger and younger and I feel weird oogling them! XD
That being said, I'm not really interested in watching a lot of the "older people" type dramas that have come out recently. Save for BOSS but that's cos Animal Shinji and Tatsu-nii are in it. :P So maybe I'm just feeling notstalgic for days gone by. I must say, I haven't watched any of it yet, but Buzzer Beat does look like it has that old Long Vacation style feel to it.
Random thoughts brought to you by Odoru Daisousasen rocking my socks off! I haven't enjoyed a cop/legal drama like this since Hero!
Also,
I think I may have found my favourite Ghibli movie ever! But more on that later.
