Summer Season 2013: Unpopular opinions over drama/anime
Basically my impression about Summer Season:
IDK if it's because I've been pretty busy therefore cranky lately, I'm getting old, or there's nothing new or refreshing to catch my attention.
* I confess I have yet to watch Shingeki no Kyojin, but haven't had enough time for that.
* I gave a try to Ao no Exorcist and didn't like it much.They do have interesting way to end the episodes to make you wonder what will be happen next, but I'm not attracted by the story.
* FREE! This one has made me think if I'm getting old. It's a bit funny to see people everywhere (tumblr, twitter, LJ FB) all over it, but. I don't think it's super awesome.
I think it lacks something else and I find ridiculous the fanservice.
Or I don't know if after Tenipuri (sorry, I missed Slam Dunk and I didn't like Captain Tsubasa) everything else is recycled. >>;;
Haru can be a Tezuka/Echizen Hybrid (That waterfall love at first sight screamed Marilyn!!)
Makoto can be Oishi/Chotarou
Nagisa is a Kikumaru/Kin-chan and another annoying character
And Rin screams Shishido/Akaya vibes.
and I think all this taking clothes off fit better Atobe'¡s mannerisms.
It's even a bit freaky all the flailing over speedos on facebook. D: Girls, they're bidimensional. >>
And this is why I half fear watching SnK, Utapuri and Kuroko no Basuke. Because I'm afraid I'll hate them too. XD;;
I admit I watched the first KnB and wasn't that impressed (But I don't like basketball to begin with)
In other news, this is how I'm spending my drama season:
* Pintokona: Team Ichiya, Team Kyonosuke or Team Kyo-ya? XD

[Pintokonazo!! All the spoilers]
Of course I'm flailing over Tama-chan, because even when sometimes he battles a bit being the Shojo hero of this story (awkward kid is awkward), he's so cute I don't care. #adorado
This is the perfect flaily cheesy story after Itazura na Kiss.
Except when you read the manga. Of course there are some things that are still the same, with involuntary stuff happening.XD;;
Ayame's skirt kept fluttering all Episode 1. XD;;
The manga gives us a wider scope about why Ayame-chan stops seeing Ichiya.
It's a bit like the Tohru Honda differences in the Furuba anime/manga: Tohru had issues but she comes on first sight as a ditzy part timer (but they don't tell much about WHY she has to be by herself and her family relationship).
Ayame is more than that. Why Kabuki is important to her.
Also there's a bit more about Ichiya and Kyonosuke motivations over Kabuki, how their rivalry is pretty complemented, why they want to success and also what both see in Ayame.
And Todoroki-Ojousama is a million times more cuter and totally knows how this is becoming a triangle. It makes you side a bit on her (to have Kyonosuke and Ayame together, of course)
It says a bit of the pull of Hokuto in the agency (hello guest bad guy on Take 5) because his character isn't in the manga (unless he appears in further volumes but as there are no raws, I'm not sure about this)
And then they're going all telenovela with this lame rival plots stolen from Telemundo. This Yuna is totally psycho. DD:
Speaking of I don't get how they can leave Shihei bedding Yuna (insert Hokuto-in-underwear gif here) but cut Kanjiro niisan hitting on Ichiya. >>;;
On the other hand, Kanjiro-niisan is awesome in the drama, all supportive of his kouhai. XD
Of course, if you aren't satisfied with canon, there's lots of fanservice, especially around episode 6 when Kyonosuke is all "We'll do Kabuki together! XD;;
Special points for Yuma and his Kabuki extra lessons paying off (perks of being one of Johnny-san's favorites), they make up when his acting isn't good enough.
I don't know if it say something about Jesse's versatility but I like him more in Pintokona than Kamen Teacher. XD;;
* Kamen Teacher is pretty absurd.
[Tiny comment]And somehow Taipi pulls it off. How Tama is the sparkly ikemen and Taipi such an airhead that goes BAM? Well, idol power. And Taipi ia a total ham despite what AnAn tries to tell us. XD;;
One of the things I like the most is the helmet/Taiga plushies Kinpatsu sensei because it's the precise example of over-the-top.
Also, I have hopes for Takumi-chin going bad in the name of justice.
I should stalk his blog to see if he has nice things to say about Taipi like he did about Maru on BOTR. (Or he was really surprised by him)
* Summer Nude: The story of a nice rebound guy.
[70% of the cast is in my shit list]This drama pisses me off because I can't stop self projecting. A girl waiting to her friend to finally pay attention to her? Been there, done that and lost time. More than 10 years. Impress me with something else.
Personally I'd like him to end with Karina because he needs to have somebody to boss him around.
Also I find amusing that even when he has more boobs than her, seems that her hands are bigger.
What I don't like: Why the girls are aso skinny. You can tell that in Ray they make Karina look marvelous because she looks a bit haggard in the drama. D:
Let's not get me into Toda Erika. She was plump in the Hina days, but looks skeletal now. DD:
I've only liked her in SPEC. She was her acting moments in the drama (still zero chemistry w/Yamapi) but I still want to whack her on the head (and if she love him that much, he doesn't fucking deserve her). Thankfully by episode 6 she has found the light.
And let's not get into Masami. I stopped watching Proposal Daisakusen. I couldn't stand both of them. I didn't hate her in Last Friends but I can't stand her now. Not even in fic.
I mean, I prefer Hikaru, the Cancam model, the Sexy Zone kid and Chiba Yuudai.
They give me life with their cheezyness.
I wonder what Shige has to say about his photographing prowess. XD
* Starman. Yes, it's kinda fantasy story, but I like Fukushi Sota (Kamen Rider privilege).
How he came from this
to this? *___*
Let's not pay attention to his birth date. XD;; But he sometimes gives Mizushima Hiro vibes. XD
Dat voice. *____*
He's so cute that I'm swooning like Hirosue Ryoko. XD
He still has Kamen Rider moves. XDD
And lol, Yamada Yuki (Kinchaaan!) and the girl of the Keito-gate. XD
Also I like Hirosue Ryoko and the kids.
Drama summary: TLD'R. I don't like many things currently.
Notes about Wolverine:
1. One does not simply say no to Wolverine taking you to a love hotel!
2. IDK if I feel aggravated by the casting (hello, asian generalization) or kinda relieved it had a bit of sense (with enphasis in "bit") well, unless you know the real locations, because it's been said by the people who have been in Tokio that the chasing sequences doesn't make any sense. xD;;
3. Wolverine is more badass than Superman, cockroaches and possibly Mick Jagger.
* Misc. fandom notes:
* Yes, I'm bitter about Yamapi's album that oozes budget.
* BTW, how Jin's album did? I suspect I missed the Oricon ranking. :P
* Have I flailed over #Shigeprecioso at the tour? Just imagine it instead then. *___*
* The world must be ending because Johnny's net is in english.
I do feel a bit swindled with Ryo's two-liners ranger nikkis (dude, stress made you write more when you were in two groups or the NEWS management was in charge of those long entries?)
Still I have to make a recap of autumn dramas but so far:
*KIMUTAKU is back! With Shibasaki Kou and I have expectations. I mean, he's an android in love! XDDD
*Ryo is back and hope it will be better than Papadoru (basically anything would be) Also I wanna lol hard at his host techniques.
*Yoko will be in a drama AGAIN with Matsushita Nao, and I can tell even on screencaps his acting is the usual. ^^;;
* When Is Okada Jesus Taiga drama beginning? *____*
* Wait, no Arashi drama yet?
IDK if it's because I've been pretty busy therefore cranky lately, I'm getting old, or there's nothing new or refreshing to catch my attention.
* I confess I have yet to watch Shingeki no Kyojin, but haven't had enough time for that.
