花ざかりの君たちへ
I just finished watching Hanazakari no Kimi-tachi e (HanaKimi for short, "For You in Full Bloom" in English). I was reluctant to watch the show for a long while, however, it came strongly recommended from my friend Mao (read: she wouldn't stop hounding me until I watched it) so I eventually caved and watched it. Her recommendations haven't been wrong yet, I enjoyed this one too.
My thoughts...
- I still don't like Horikata Maki. I found Mizuki to unforgivably bland and I blame her lackluster performance. As I do with many shows, I again found myself asking...why are these boys falling for her? She came across as a creepy stalker for most of those...but...if that's some how endearing..., I guess I'll never understand.
- After seeing him get the shaft in HanaDan, I was happy to see Shun get the girl in this one. (Tsukushi x Rui >>>>>>> Tsukushi x Domyouji)
- I'm going to add Yamamoto Yusuke to my list. I want one.
- The doctor was only gay because he was afraid of/hated women. Once he stopped being afraid of women he would therefore consider a relationship with stalker photo bitch? WTF. That part pissed me off. "Oh...gay people are just 女嫌い, they'll get over it eventually."
- Ha! The Special confirmed it. Shirota Yuu's character was hot for Sano!
- Oscar grew on me. He's very over the top (as are most characters in the show) which is why I disliked him at first. It's also why I ended up liking him.
- Hibari should die in a fire.
- So should stalker photo bitch. You're 30...stop drooling after and photographing high school boys.
- The special was too long (by the time the soccer match came along I stopped caring)...but...I enjoyed seeing Sano all giddy when he realized he was falling for Mizuki. He's usually so stoic in all his roles, it was good to see him break out of that a bit.
- Not surprisingly but the cast cross dresses really well. Mizushima Hiro makes a cute girl. Horikata Maki, on the other hand, does not.
- 2 guys from スーパー戦隊 were in this (BoukenRed and Go-On Red). I was pleased.
- Nakatsu gains points for truly not caring if Mizuki were a guy...well...eventually. Though sometimes he got really annoying with all of his needless spazzing. He needed to calm the fuck down.
- Sano can't forgive his father for abandoning him and his brother when their mother died...so he abandons his brother. Okay...that makes sense.
What to watch next?
