Okay, so LJ is now telling me that my old list is "too long" and is refusing all attempts to edit.  The new and improved LJ doesn't feel very "improved" right now...  So, much to my chagrin, I'm starting from scratch-ish now...minus drama SPs.  Now that I'm done with my mini-rant,

Here's a list of what I want to watch, what I've started watching and ( Read more... )

I've noticed something strange...  Every drama that I have seen so far with Tabe Mikako has featured some pretty strange delusions.  It makes me wonder whether they were part of the script when she joined the cast or if she induces this in the writers like some psychotropic drug.  Or, I guess there's the option that her manager seeks out these ( Read more... )

The tears that were running down my chin have dried and I think that I may be considered recovered.  Well, that's probably not true... I wouldn't be surprised if Utahime left a hole in my heart forever.  But it did so in true Japanese fashion and was impeccably delivered.

Nagase was fantastically charming and sweet.The humor was not as excessive as ( Read more... )

So I have Super Delicate so badly in my head that I can't currently think of what I want to say about Risou no Musoko.  It was pretty epic considering that it's so ridiculous.  Beyond ridiculous could be a better descriptor.  Yeah...it's been 20 minutes and I still can't figure out what to say.  It was amazing.  Watch it.  Now.

Keeper: hellz to the ( Read more... )

I don't even remember what it was that made me pick up Soredemo Ikite Yuku when it started airing.  Maybe it was a yearning to watch a train wreck.

Honestly, that's a bad description.  This drama was beautiful, tragic, hopeful, well-made, and honest.  The acting was impeccable.  Everything felt incredibly real, especially the horrible social ( Read more... )

As the subject suggests, I would like to preface Love Shuffle by discussing the theme and insert songs.  Earth, Wind and Fire?  Really?!  Why?  This is especially the case because for the first couple episodes, I wasn't really paying attention to the music.  It sounded familiar.  I thought it was just some popular Japanese song that I couldn't name ( Read more... )

Back from Acen and the exhaustion hasn't gone away yet.  It was a great time and I'm pleased with the new loli.

But that's not what I'm here for.  Finished Lucky Seven today after quite a delay.  It was pretty good - better than expected - but not the best.  MatsuJun did a decent job.  He played his usual character.  Eita really carried the series ( Read more... )

It's too bad.  The intended Subject line for my post on Hungry! was supposed to be "trust me i am asshole" since that shirt cracked me up every time that Eisuke wore it.  But now this is a time to voice my ire.  At least, that's the case until I am able to hunt down sequel rumors.

I really need to go back to the beginning of Hungry! though...  The ( Read more... )

So.  Boku to Star no 99 Nichi.  Yeah.  It was fine.  Not great.  Not bad.  Actually, I don't really have much of anything to say about this series.

Tissues: nope
Resolution: wait, the boss was his mom?!
Overall: C-ish

You know, for the longest time, I thought that Osen was actually Onsen.  It's kinda disappointing that this drama didn't include Uchi in a towel.  But then again, I don't want to repeat the Toma incident...

So not only was the drama about food, but I just completed a marathon kitchen run...cheesecake brownies, French bread rolls, muffins (from a mix ( Read more... )
