First (second?) drama review, this (last) week in... and a PSA
1. What you feared: my take in Otenki Oneesan.
Otenki Oneesan wasn't like the supermega wow drama (we learnt our lesson in Odore Doctor) but it was surprisingly interesting.
Points of interest:
1. Ohkura Tadayoshi (duh, of course): He got lots of lines, because you know, he's a LEAD. We'll comment further about his character.
2. Sasaki Kuranosuke. He is a god. Tacchon should learn a thing or two from him.
3. Takei Emi isn't that bad. If you've seen her previous dramas (some people say W no Higeki was really good, didn't watch) but if you contrast the ball of spazz she was in Tokio Zenryoku Shoujo and the snot emo fest it was Iki mou dekinai natsu she's versatile enough (and what's the trouble with Japan and serious girls? Jeez)
4. I wonder if the scriptwriters will be able to fill every episode with scientific explanations for every crime.
[Tacchon's previous roles and more Otenki Oneesan]
Personally I loved the Ball Lightning tidbit because there's a short story by Horacio Quiroga about a ball lightning. <3 Yes, I'm lame.
Now, about Tacchon. Apparently it isn't a Tacchon drama if he isn't a wuss. Probably ROMES is the exception.
But if we dig deep, there are issues about his mentor he covered with the ROMES project.
Apparently in Cinderella ni naritai there's the wish to be somebody else, anyway (didn't watch, don't know for sure)
So this time they're following this trend of the lesser police agent. Also, his nickname denotes the lack of faith in his generation (rememeber when in Zenkai Girl Gakki mentioned the Yutori Education?)
So he's constantly pressured to succed and make his division look good. But he doesn't look that ambitious, like for example, Mabo in 18 sai no HELLO WORK.
Maybe he wants to take thing easier?
But seriously, I predict he's gonna get this treatment all the drama, unles he's beginning to solve cases. Ugh.
2. Last Cinderella
I expected more of Shinohara's Ryoko role. I liked her more in Haken no Hinkaku, that was a strong badass working woman.Maybe my upbringing with single females make me look things different but ugh.
[There will be shenanigans in this ecchi drama]Even Anego was OK. One thing is being seduced by Akanishi and other having a bed scene with Miura Haruma. He, younger than her felt a bit umconfortable. Sorry, my liking for him doesn't go that way. Even when he's legal and grown up.
Then why giving him asshole roles. If there's something I hate are such characters. So if he's gonna fall for her FOR REAL, the script must be good. I already hate Nanao for being a cunt to get on Fujiki Naohito's pants (Guess what? He won't see you any other way than a little girl).
On the other hand, damn, his acting is good because he didn't look uncomfortable at all and his bed scenes were pretty decent. :O
It amazes me when Fujiki Naohito isn't a cold noodle in his roles. His interaction with Shinohara is really good.
I smell triangle shenanigans with Sakura's friends. I was surprised but do not want.
And sorry for being superficial about this drama, I don't even want to begin with sexism and what is expected in female roles because I might begin to throw things.
Because it's sad and unfortunately true. First hand experience.
The moral of this drama is: Don't drink until you pass out. Sorry but a morning after smelling like booze? Pass.DD:
3. Kusaka na Kanojo: It's interesting, Anne and Katori have nice chemistry. I like the SMAP ending.
[more screencaps]This woman is a Queen and just for her, I'd watch. BTW, I missed her Kyoto drama from last season. Oops. XD;;
Is this Morishin? O.o
One thing are the colorful sweaters Katori and Kitayama use, and other Maeda's short shorts. I know they're in, I do follow fashion magazinesm tyvm, but tyhis isn't work appropiate, WTF. D<
4. More Itazura na KISS. It's really entertaining and the guys have great chemistry! XD
[an extra cap]Kotoko is as single minded yet qute innocent, a pure heart. she might teach a thing or two to Naoki. Even when he goes all Ootori Kyouya on her. XD;;
5. Holic finale. Don't worry, won't spoil you. But if you managed to go through after the first episode, you might concur with me there's a reason why there aren't many CLAMP Live Actions.
Maybe they thought it was time after Tokyo Babylon. But really. >>;;
For a series based in supernatural stuff, they handled the effects in an interesting way but the casting and the plot adaptation wasn't what fans might want.
At least got some donuts.
But fuckers, they could add the "we can share the burden together" line ::flips table::
Now where are the Galileo 2 subs!?!?!?!?!
Lately in Eito Shows:
Yoko appeared in Ahoyanen! Sukiyanen! a NHK Kansai show.
And when I looked at the panel interviewed him I was all: Is that Kamakari Kenta? O.o
Yes he is! He's a regular in the show along some Kansai Juniors.
It made me squeal their interaction, how Kenken was a bit nervous talking to Yoko and how he was really nice to his juniors. It was a nice reminiscing show.
When fandoms collide. <3
This week in Janiben, Minami Akina, the girl who played Chiharu-chan in BotR was the guest.
She's quite particular with hobbies, like running Karts. Pretty different of what I thought she was. XD;;
In one of the corners, she asked all of Eito to write a message about not being able to arrive to a date using emojis. Where you could see their particular styles:
[no Tacchon or Yoko bits here]
Maru actually uses some of those emojis in his jwebs.
Yasu is as loud as he is. XD;;
And Nishikido´s, well...
He found an use for the unko emoji and if you see his final emoji, he can creep in emoji form as well! XDD
Subaru's is out of this world. XD;;
In all the show was pretty interesting and fun!
Because Tati complained about not having the chance to see Massu in tight pants, here we go:

[Only 3 images :P]
Ok, there aren't that tight and this is only from last year, I'm not going that back.
On a Duet feature the staff made them swap clothes, so he's wearing Shige's clothes.
Unfortunately because of Shige's gay scarf, we can appreciate the pants properly. XD;
And the tightest pants we've seen him wearing in the last 2 years (aprox) might be this:
complete page here, belongs to a Myojo poster.
Probably there should be more from the times when they weren't allowed to pick their clothes more freely, but hope this will suffice. you're welcome, Tati. XDDb
This is the PSA:
And because it's time again: The second round of butafest is on! :D
Please go to allthegyoza and check their guidelines to share some Massu love!
BUTAFEST
A Massu fanworks challenge
Fili and Lino make lovely handmade accesories, pouches, backpacks, etc.
They're pretty skilled and have great taste at matching fabrics and designs. They also make customs orders!
Their etsy store is here and have a blog, FB and twitter accounts, they're based in Indonesia and they do really cute stuff.
They even make tutorials! (Someday I'm gonna make the daruma pouch!)
So in one of their tutorials they made a giveaway and I was lucky enough to win! :Dv
The pencil case is lovely, well made (has proper lining and all) and got an extra fabric bracelet that it's so lovely!
Thank you very much! :D
(No, I haven't been paid for this post, I just want to share my flail because I rarely win giveaways!)

Apparently in Cinderella ni naritai there's the wish to be somebody else, anyway (didn't watch, don't know for sure)
- Hissatsu Shigotonin: Well, he was supposed to be an assasin but so lame he got killed. >>;;
- Utahime. James (according to drama wiki, Jinguki-kun, for the ones asking his real name). In the first place he was traveling to find himself (sounds like a proto NEET), was totally throttled by Sabako and his rebelius attempts were loltastic.
- Yasuko to Kenji: Wuss, even when he admitted liking Yasuko and wanting to protect her. And IDC, this one of my favorite dramas EVER for everybody in there, especially Mabo and his table flipping. XD
- Odore Doctor. Really, one of the biggest dissapointments ever. Why had you in so many promos when you barely appeared. Even Massu got more presence in Resident!
- Umareru. Another emo wuss snooze fest. Dude, get over yourself and be grateful to your adoptive family!
- Mikeneko. Ishizu-kun was quite likeable because the character was meant to be this sassy bratty, silly and lazy that somehow got into action just to impress Harumi and had nice wardrobe.
So this time they're following this trend of the lesser police agent. Also, his nickname denotes the lack of faith in his generation (rememeber when in Zenkai Girl Gakki mentioned the Yutori Education?)
