I have finished watching Precipice and it was brilliant. And I finally watched In My Time of Dying and it was brilliant as well. I have lengthy meta on both, but for now I want to talk about something else

Heeeeeeeee... so glad you're enjoying Kamisama as much as I am. I plan to write a long review on it too, but I agree with you. The opening credits = total Takeshi hotness. It's probably one of the coolest opening credits ever, aside from ALTK ^^ And ditto to Kyoko Fukada ~ she was only 16 yrs old at the time but handled her role very well. Her on-screen chemistry with Takeshi was surprisingly good.
This drama is not Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake, rather Kamisama Mou Takeshi Kaneshiro onegaishimasu, hahaha.
I know. It's addictive. According to Mr. Mousie, klmorgan and I were squealing so loudly he could hear us upstairs :) But yeah, it's amazing.

Basically, Hollywood likes its leading men and women to be white (with minor exceptions for African Americans). And not only white, but able to pass for white Americans (ergo Australians and British do OK with the faking of the accents and Italians and French not so much). So basically, any Chinese, Japanese,

I love ALTK credits with the gun, but this just might beat them.
I didn't know she was only 16. Wow.
