'Tatta Hitotsu no Koi' Episode 3 and other media update

[winterspel]

Tatta Hitotsu no Koi: Episode 3I watched this uber-early Sunday morning, and then again with subs later yesterday - and somehow, through an act of will I have still avoided reading anyone's squee. I will go off to read as soon as I finish writing this - I knew that if I read anyone else's posts, I wouldn't want to write my own review anymore

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on this one due to the criteria you chose to liken Kame's last few roles: "tough, cool." I agree that there are shades of both Ryu and Shuji in Hiroto and that these three characters have more in common than not. However...Ishida Yuya was anything but tough and cool. He wore his heart on his sleeve. He was bouncy and bubbly and high on life. He was also very emotional, nurturing, affectionate and open (without hiding it as Shuji did, or the way Hiroto is only this way with his little brother) - a HUGE difference from all three of the other characters. When he was hurt, he had trouble hiding it and while he sometimes tried to play off his disappointments, it was still written all over his face.



An extreme example, I know. (episode 10 of Sapuri) Especially the last 3-4 episodes of Sapuri really demonstrated (to me, anyway) Kame's impressive range.

That's one of the reasons that as much as I love Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, I miss Yuya desperately.

But we can definitely agree to disagree! :)

I think we're going to have to do that.

I am definitely in agreement with you, winterspel. Because of his honesty and simplicity, Yuuya is a very different character from Ryu, Hiroto, and Shuuji, who all have shades and are more complex. Thus, I also miss and love Sapuri because I enjoyed Kamenashi's breakout performance as Yuuya - a polar opposite to his current Hiroto.
