I will now recommend you Shark 2 even though I didn't watch either season XD BUT IT HAS YASUI, WATCH IT FOR THE YASUI!! I only saw screenshots but I was tempted to watch it... XD

I watched the first ep of Sailor Zombie because I do like Ricchan and zombies (and kinda still AKB) but... I don't know, I didn't expect much, I mean Bakaleya had the worst acting ever and it still was amusing. But somehow I lost my motivation after the zombies stopped attacking them because of music LOL

sky_fish7 June 30 2014, 10:03:41 UTC

Haha XD Oh yes, Yasui is definitely a reason for me to watch this dorama, don't worry! =3 Well now my friend and I just need to find the time for watching it I guess XD

About Sailor Zombie, OMG xD I take this as a non-recommedation LOL

ichigobanana June 30 2014, 10:07:42 UTC

Maa, for fans of the girls involved it's probably entertaining. But for everyone else not XD Majisuka Gakuen is a way better AKB-drama, even though you have to get used to it, and Sakura kara no Tegami is a serious AKB-drama but it's pretty unknown. Idk, their dramas become trashier every year :/

Btw will you make a similar post for the summer season?

sky_fish7 June 30 2014, 10:13:49 UTC

I can see that for fans of the girls it might be funny ^^ Well, I myself am not that interested in AKB and I only know a handful of the members (due to dorama-appearances) so the cast wasn't really calling for me I have to admit. i didn't watch Majisuka Gakuen either and I didn't hear about Sakura kara no Tegami, might check with my AKB-fan-buddy if he knows it and how he liked it lol

Yes, there will be an overview post also for the upcoming season ^^ but I'm a bit busy right now with another project (will announce it in a few minutes) and preparing for a trip that starts tomorrow so I guess I won't post it before next weekend if I have enough time then.

I only watched Shinigami-kun and YowaKate! Shinigami is a good drama and I love its ending (literally the ending or the last part where Oh-chan is fishing) its so cute. But, some may be offended,gumen, but I'm not really satisfied in YowaKate's last 2 episodes. They should have won Koshien. They only won once, that is against Takemiya, so why is the title in English We will win while we are weak? They should have win Koshien! But it also has a cute ending with those little kids, and i also like Tarumi and Akaiwa love team. This is just my imagination, being an Arashi fangirl, but I like the ending with Arashi members as freshmen in Jotoku, even though they are already old guys, and Nino will be coaching them. But over all, it was a good drama especially Nino is so cute in a teacher role!

sky_fish7 June 30 2014, 10:42:55 UTC

I agree, Shinigami-kun was really a good dorama and the ending was the best! (Fishing Oh-chan, gorgeous! ♥)

I can understand that you're not satisfied with the ending of Yowakate but I think like this it is more realistic. It wouldn't have been realistic if they won too easily too many matches, even if we wish for that =( I would have liked to see them winning against Doutou High School in the 10th episode though but well. At least they showed that they CAN win and I'm sure the team will do so again - but unfortunately without Aoshi-sensei >.<. Nino was really cute in this one! I loved his acting!

greamematsumoto June 30 2014, 10:52:59 UTC

I think it doesn't need to be realistic, its just a drama anything can happen! well, maybe I'm just going to miss Aoshi-sensei and I just don't want it to end yet.

sky_fish7 June 30 2014, 10:54:00 UTC

That's true! I'll miss him as well! >.

Ah XD Thank you very much. Looks like I was really too stupid ^^"

Yes, I'll write an overview post for the summer season as well but I'm busy with preparing a trip today and I'm not here for the next for days so I won't be able to write it before weekend. I'll try to post it as soon as possible =)

My top 3 would be:
1 Alice no toge
2 Bitter blood
3 Shinigami-kun

I loved every minute of Alice, and Bitter blood grew on me with each episode.

I watched Sailor zombie but it was quit boring, and I also wasnt too content with the 2 lead girls.

sky_fish7 July 9 2014, 18:36:52 UTC

I totally agree with you about Alice no Toge, it was great, right? I'm not sure if I like it more than Shinigami-kun or not, I guess those two are my favorites of the season, followed by Bitter Blood, then Yowakutemo Katemasu and then Gokuaku Ganbou.

Oh so now you're the second person who told me that Sailor Zombie indeed wasn't really good. I guess I didn't miss something then. XD

Lately I'm in late with everything, and I have no time for catch up, but, I hope I can join the discussion....
I wanted so much follow the various dramas and commenting week after week in the various masterposts, since it make me enjoy even more the dramas, but somehow I always was sick or busy and I could finish only 2 dramas in this season O.o it's shocking...

Anyway, here my opinions if I can ^^

Alice no Toge: I didn't watched it, because it wasn't in my plans since I don't like medical dramas, but since many people recommended it to me, I think I'll watch it during the summer season.

Bitter Blood I liked it! The interaction among the cast and the chemistry between the lead actors was great, and also the story that mixed funny and serious elements was interesting. Just one thing..The 2 of them are detectives or superheroes? I mean... They should have died because of the gun shoots and bomb exploding,but.... Somehow they were fine '-.- Anyway... I LOVE THE THEME SONG!

Black President I watched the 1st episode RAW and I didn't ( ... )

sky_fish7 July 12 2014, 22:51:32 UTC

Hey dear! How good to see you posting here, I was already worried that you might not be able to access lj or something since you had trouble with it, right? Could you solve the problems ( ... )

housekini July 15 2014, 11:09:28 UTC

AHHHHHHHHHH MY BROWSER RE-LOADED AND IT DELETED MY REPLYYYYYY

Since I don't have much time, I'll try to briefly recap my answer T__T Sorry...

I couldn't reply to the masterposts just because I always was busy or sick, so I couldn't finish/watch in time the dramas... LJ had problems 1-2 months ago but it slowly started to work again...

We always need more time for do everything we want, right? Well, for now good luck with your new project! I'm happy you're back to subbing~
I hope to be able to catch up with it!

Alice is my "should watch" list... I hope to have the time to start it...
And yeah, Mozu was different from the usual dramas... and in the background there is that mystery not solved yet....

Shini-kun was so naive....XD I need to finish that drama! And about Smoking Gun... I want to understand what happened, it's why I find it thrilling...

Yaaah, I have to finish so much stuff T___T

sky_fish7 July 31 2014, 19:37:53 UTC

Oh know! I hate it when something like that happens! >.< And it happens sometimes as well >.< Sorry for the late reply btw, sometimes I just can't catch up answering all the comments and stuff o.o lol

It's great that LJ works again for you! XD I'm relieved to see you posting more again lately =3 (Missed you XD)

Did you have time to watch Alice no Toge yet?

I still have to finish Smoking Gun, I don't have time since I try all the new shows somehow xD lol
