In all technicality, I watched the 8uppers movie a while ago.  Like the night it went up on LJ.  But to tell the truth, I watched it on the Zune, in my car, at the laundromat.  It just wasn't the optimum viewing environment, especially calculating in the breaks for transferring laundry and that I stopped watching with like 2 minutes left because I ( Read more... )

I don't know how to talk about Long Love Letter without some major spoilers... so just to be on the safe side, I guess I'll have to LJ-cut...

Wow, it's been a year since Guests of Room 0 started...  The fact that it had distinct stories made the wait a lot easier... I think.

Ohno's was not my fav but I liked how it all came together and that the girlfriend had an Arashi ring tone!  The second one was Yasu and Maru, right?  I don't like to see my boys bicker, but that one came together ( Read more... )

I just wanted to put down some thoughts about last night's concert before I curl into bed for the year...  not that I have a lot of thoughts on the matter.  It's really surreal, actually.  I can't wrap my brain around it.  Because, you know, it's just not possible that I saw Jin in concert.  I mean not really.  I had already ingrained it into my ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how long it's been, but it feels like it's been a while since I've watched a super-tear-jerker.  Minami-kun had its moments, but it really hasn't been since Majo no Jouken.  And that was just depressing.  But with Mioka, it was a little different.  I didn't just cry over the sad parts but the happy ones, too.  Actually for the first ( Read more... )

So I guess Yatterman is what it's like when they remake a children's show to appeal to the original audience, now all grown up.  At least that's what I'm assuming because: 1, I've never seen the original anime, and 2, I haven't experienced it for myself.  All of the cartoons I loved as a child were remade into really REALLY CRAPPY movies.  I think ( Read more... )

WARNING:  BIASED!  COMPLETELY BIASED!!!!

Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business flail.   So in case you didn't figure it out, finished watching NatsuNiji because Stormy is amazing!  And yeah *flaps hands like a chicken taking flight*  I'd say that I was just kidding about the flapping, but it really happened.  Several ( Read more... )

I wish I could have posted last night, but it was waaay too late for that.  Also, I might have still been shaking.  I don't know if it's the fact that I watched it with the SQUee or if it was just an awesome concert, but Arashi Around Asia+ in Dome was my favorite flail so far.  I mean, 5x10 is a classic and I love it to bits and pieces, but there ( Read more... )

Any drama where the main premise involved naked Kimura Takuya has GOT to be win.  And Gift totally was.  Well, once I got past the first couple episodes and the WTF factor.  And a large bonus was they only said「ギフト」  no more than once per episode.  As opposed to Pride when it as every 10 minutes.  「俺のプライドです〪」「俺のプライドです〪」「俺のプライドです〪」Oh my god, I get ( Read more... )

Watched Kiiroi Namida Friday night at Tori-chan's.  We weren't planning to, but fortunately Tori's flexible because I needed to see dirty!Sho in action.  Of course, because there were people there, I talked too much.  Honto ni gomen nasai!  But the movie was really excellent.  It's not very often that I see a modern movie that actually looks like ( Read more... )
