2. My thots on Orthros no Inu [Rating: 8/10]
I actually liked this drama overall. I first read about it on the internet and the plot caught my eye. Interesting storyline but I felt there was not enough development in the relationship between the 2 lead roles - Shinji and Ryousuke.

I started out thinking that Shinji was a manipulative bad guy but ended up feeling sorry for him. He had led such a lonely life. I thought that Takizawa was really cool as the 'bad' guy and felt Nishikido didn't really express himself that well.

As for Hasebe's and Shinji's relationship, I was pretty confused what direction it was taking. At some points in the show, I thought she was beginning to understand him and that she was starting to feel something for him. As for Shinji, I thought he was beginning to open up to her. However it seemed to stop short at anything.

As for the story end, did Shinji and Ryosuke maintain their brotherly ties? I hated the part where they seemed to miss each other and walked in separate directions. Whats that all about??!

Overall I will still watch it again.

3. Good drama/confusing ending. [Rating: 7/10]
A good supernatural drama with lots of mind game. Takizawa is great in this. *kakoi* Ryou - either he has only 1 expression or he has to cut that fringe that makes him look like he's squinting through the gaps of hair everytime. The most redundant character is Asami's Hasebe. Either she's so stupid to go n confront all the suspects alone without back up she intend to die in the work of line cos everytime she confronts the suspects, they will get away n she will be beaten up. Lucky this is a drama. If not, she will have been gone long time. N what's with the ending? If Ryuzaki is still alive, then why they are not together? Ryuzaki admits that his brother's n mother's face alone can make him happy n he wish to go back to the way it was. N if in the end they are both alive, then why the 2 brothers go their seperate ways? Mind boggling.

this is a damn bloody good drama plot but the ending totally sucked balls ROAR! could have been a 10/10.

Very original idea and interesting plot. Despite supernatural powers it's still very easy to believe, very refreshing.

it was pretty good. the female character ruined the show...she was useless to me, other than that it was pretty good

A frat boy like Ryo playing a good guy?! hahaha I had to see this! Seriously after one episode it looks like it might be quite interesting.. it's a matter of how the cast will be able to deliver it..

[after watching] It was decent. Nothing that kept me on the edge each week yet it still had me watch it anyway.

A lot of the situations will make you think about human nature too.. which I thought was an interesting perspective on the matter.

This was a fantastic dramatic series with a great supernatural twist, though it suffered from quite a few random and underdeveloped side characters who detracted from the stars and the main plot, rather than furthered the story. Takizawa Hideaki is the one to watch in this series. He goes from delightfully evil, to quite and contemplative, to wounded angel by the end of the series. He gave a truly stand out performance that far surpassed anyone else on screen! this drama has it's flaws, but it kept me on the edge of my seat and was great!

i really anticipated it. the subs are out as soon as three days; however once i have it. i can't seem to watch it. i guess it's too heavy at the moment. the plot is interesting. then there's ryo and tackey. powerhouse. but then maybe i got a too high resolution of the episode. lol...definitely, i'll be watching this real soon

Very interesting dorama. The ending is good, too.
17. Comments by nienna [Rating: 8/10]
I like this kind of mind boggling dramas. Tackey and Nishikido both play a very good role~~
18. Comments by d0npian0 [Rating: 8/10]
Very interesting idea. l loved how they tried to show the different reactions people have when they're confronted with power. Also, I love the idea that it's God's Hand who turns people insane, not the Devil's. For this alone I'd give 10/10.

Now, the reason why I gave 8/10 points instead.
This type of drama (like Maou, Majo Saiban, Bloody Monday) has a tendency to be exaggerated. At first I'm always excited just to be annoyed in the end.
Also, I couldn't help but wonder how much better it could've been with a different cast. Let's face it: Takizawa Hideaki and Nishikido Ryo weren't chosen because of their acting talent but because of their agency. It's about ratings, not talent. I mean, it's always like that and in most cases I can live with it but here I just hated what they made of a great idea.

It's a SF dorama, plots unrealistic and kakkoii actors, Nishikido Ryo and Hideaki Takizawa. Not boring though but don't expect this as the best dorama of 2009, but worth try it because the plot is somehow different and not repetitive as many doramas
22. Comments by ryouji [Rating: 9/10]
i love how the mystery runs in the story... from the first episode until the last it's so unique! the story is easy to predict what will happen.. haha it's nice that hideaki didn't die! harhar.
23. Comments by nickylynn [Rating: 9/10]
Takizawa Hideaki is awesome in this!! Interesting to watch as the story unfolds. Wish they would have chose a different female lead. One that would have had more chemistry with Hideaki. But overall, exciting to watch with a good ending.

Takki n Ryo's acting are good! e ending is great~ though it seems to wrap up in a hurry ~
the last 2 episodes had built the climax well.
otokomae + gd storyplot = best!

Really really good dorama!Every episode show a surprisingly plot especially the end and the connection between 'God Hand' and 'Evil Hand'.

The beginning was a bit odd but the story line was getting a lot more interesting towards the end. Worth sticking with it and keep watching

Nice dorama! altough not that original... The creators of Orthros no Inu started from a cliche (opposing powers stuff) and from that they did a pretty good job on the plot. Good twists... a good ending (imo).. very enjoyable character develpment. The casting is ok... its nothing memorable but its not bad as well... There r some scenes that makes no sense at all... like one guy goin' to a ER room.. touchs the patient and no one sees that... That could be better made... but in the end Orthros no Inu is a quite nice dorama....

RYO , Hikaro and TAKKY!!!!! OMG it's the best DRAMA EVER THIS YEAR!!
30. Comments by daniela [Rating: 9/10]
great topic!!..something I've been looking for..kami no te and akuma no te, both have to co-oexist and co-operate to maintain the stability of the world..this jdrama shows us how kami no te brings world into chaos..and it also shows us that if there were akuma no te, it would be used as ultimate weapon..because we humans are just selfish and greedy beings seeking for power..

Despite all the bad reviews this had i was absolutly overwhelmed by this dorama, maybe because i´m a huge anime/manga fan, and this story is much more anime like than dorama like.
Ryuzaki Shinji(Takizawa Hideaki) is now my favorite dorama character, it used to be the King Takashi from IWGP, i loved everything about him the manerisms, the way of talk, of walking, everything, i think Taki stinks as an overall actor but he pulled this character really well.
Nishikado Ryo on the other hand once again ruined a perfect good character(coufh*Last Friends*coufh), the guy seems to have only one facial expression, his performance was really bad but didn´t ruin the dorama for me.
This dorama has so many memorable momments: the trade that Ryuzaki made with Aoi, that Aoi would kill the drunk guy and Ryuzaki would heal the kid who was about to die; the scene at the hospital when Ryuzaki forced the patients to choose the order they wanted to be healed and of course my favorite one when Ryuzaki was in the hospital and all the kids refused to be healed by him just so he could heal the teacher and then he went and healed all of them, pretty awesome.
The only thing this lacked was more on the romance situation between Ryuzaki and Nagisa(Mizukawa Asami); anyway this is a pretty good dorama i recomend it.
