Synopsis
Twenty-one year old former high school baseball player, Kohei, learns that he is dying from cancer. He is told that he only has six months to live, and decides that he wants to do something daring and risky. He proposes to five trusted members from his former baseball club that they form a ring of cat burglars that would steal from those who commit crimes. His friends think it odd, but feel they cannot turn down a dying man's request. With only six months, how much could they do anyway?

1. kisarazu.. cats! nyah..! [Rating: 8/10]
the first episode already made me interested as funny scenes were everywhere in the dorama.. the characters were all really special.. esp bambi.. so serious yet so sweet when it comes to moko-chan no koto.. bussan left a great impact on me.. it was the first time i watched a drama where i keep having the thought the lead was going to collapse anytime soon.. the show was filmed in a special way too.. drama fans probably watch lots of shows and are already used to seeing several "stories" happening at one time.. therefore the flashback method used in this show is really ineteresting and new.. it keeps you concentrated on one part of the story only to show the real happenings at the end..

it was hard to get inot it at first, on any normal dorama i would've given up, but i hung on for sho and okada^^ and i didn't regret it. it was sooo funny, the ideas they came up with. sho in the guy's kimono was...hot^^ okada's antics were very funny, the way he moved around wen he was nervous because he nearly slept with sho's girlfriend ahah, i cried wen okada nearly died, but everything was alrite in the end. the cats do make a pretty good band don't they? all the cast was realli funni, narimiya hiroki as Ani's lil bro, kakkoii ^^, Master's hair was hilarious^^, Fuji's character....i can't describe it ^^ this dorama was VERY GOOD ^^~nyah

after watching this drama, i have a feeling i missed out on the whole subtle irony part of the story. o-o tat definitely affected my rating on the drama, coz basically, if u cant get the humor this drama is trying to portray, u wont get the whole story :P i was completely baffled by it. nevertheless, still convinced tat ppl who can catch the punch-line of this drama would be fairly amused :)

I admit to having an interest in seeing Kisarazu Cat's Eye for quite some time, and I was NOT dissapointed! It was hilarious. The acting and characters were all around superb, the misadventures were engaging, and the writing was endlessly clever! I cannot find a single fault with the series. Even the ending did not dissapoint. Who would have thought...?!? Although it isn't quite one of my favorites, this drama will always have a place in my heart! "NYA!"

This is another example of Kankuro Kudo’s talent of mixing the hilarity of a screwball comedy with the despair and the loneliness of the people living at the fringes of society. Most of the characters are seeming ne’er-do-wells and losers: a dying 21 year-old cancer patient, juvenile semi-delinquents, owners of failing stores, a pathological shop-lifter, a strip tease dancer, a call girl, an unlicensed barber, a teacher who has decided to get back at the students who have tormented her at school. All of them somehow come out as individuals with dignity and humanity. (Kudo does not condone criminality. He describes the brutality and savagery of real predatory criminals (gangsters involved in juvenile prostitution and extortion) without any sympathy.)
As many critics commented, this drama is irreverent, unpredictable and funny, but the undertone is pathos, as was reflected in the scene where one of the characters, Ozzy, who has been brain-damaged in an accident during a baseball match, suddenly remembers the following phrases from Macbeth he played in his high school days. Kudo gets him to recite:
. . . Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Pathos does not diminish hilarity.
A few words about some older actors who are relatively unknown among young JDorama fans: Ozzy, the character who appears in the first scene, saying “It is the MORNING!” and who later recites Macbeth is played by Arata Furuta who is a star player of the enormously popular Shinkansen Theater Group. “You” plays a call girl on roller skates. (“You” played the mother in Kore-eda’s “Nobody Knows.”) Sadao Abe (who played the incompetent policeman in Ikebukuro West Gate Park and Donta in Tiger & Dragon) plays the Cat. Fumiyo Kohinata, who plays the father of the leading character (Bussan by Junichi Okada), is in numerous movies and TV series including Fuurinkazan.

Erm... even though this dorama features a cast of bishounens (with Okada and Sho, no less), it didn't really pique my interest in the beginning, the middle, or the end. I held on all the way to the end because of the bishounens :P But still, I agree that the way they tell the story is different from other doramas, so that's something fresh. But I didn't really like the storyline...

Am I the only one who notices how a large portion of this wacky cast also appears in "Ikebukuro West Gate Park?" It's not particularly a bad thing, but it makes me expect more of this story and its actors.

LoL! Funny eventhough I understand only a little. I watched it in Japanese. LoL! But it got me entertained - way funny! LoL!
27. Comments by Nermal [Rating: 10/10]
10... probably one of the first time I've ever given a perfect score.. and not because the actors are cute (cause they are!). I had very few expectations before watching this drama, or actually expected something completely different I guess. Already 5 minutes into the first episode, you'll be crying your eyes out from laughing too much. The characters are really endearing, unreal and yet somehow it makes perfect sense when you watch it. Keep in mind though that this is very Japanese and exaggerated in the way an anime usually is.

Okada Junichi also puts up a wonderful performances from A to Z. Talk about a natural, it didn't feel like an act at all. And I have to say all of the actors felt very natural toghether, like a bunch of friends that really grew up toghether.

Very touching story, will make you cry and laugh for sure. Must see!

A fresh drama with a cast of popular actors from the Japanese pop scene. Again, the directing and editing in this drama is excellent and exciting. Not too mention creative. It's one of the high points of this show. The acting is a bit overdramatic, but that's what contributes to the comedic factor of the show. Even with such a depressing topic such as cancer and the Bussan (the main character) knowing that he only has 6 months to live, the story was entertaining and very enjoyable.

Each episode of this drama has a particular method of editing. It's separated by innings (ie 9 episodes and 9 innings in baseball). In each episode, the Kisarazu gang decide to steal something or make money somehow and they always manage to have it work out in one way or another. How it works out is often shown when the tape rewinds itself and repeats it from a different point of view. I thought this was one of the most interesting aspects of the show aside from the quirky characters. Each member was special and enjoyable to watch and one of my favorites was the teacher who liked to play tricks on her students in the beginning of the series.

I highly recommend especially to fans of the director's work such as "Tiger and Dragon" and "Ikebukuro West Gate Park".

so funny!!
i think this is the best performance by okada and sho ever!
the pacing is great and the editing is great.
but coz of the style of the edit, i tend to get pretty confused at times... still thumbs up!!
didn't give it a perfect score coz of the odd ending. it's still great, but i would have preferred if it didn't drag on for the last 15min ^^...
and i gotta comment that okada looks really OLD in this drama (too much smoking? staying up at night? clubbing? drugs? girls?^^)... and Bambi is chooooooo kawaii ne!! wanna kiss bambi!

gosh i nv put kisarazu!! can't believe i forgot! i thought i did! luckily i checked. sho-kun is chooooo kawaii in here! even okada too! and i like takashi alot. and also the little extra guy that always messes up but solved everything in the end! okada's eyes are really mesmerising, have to stop myself from staring at him for too long or will get electrified. this is a really funny drama! too bad the plot is crappy and pretty meaningless or i'd have given it a higher rating. haha. oh i totally LOVE sho's baseball stance!! he just look so good!!! i like the way they always have those rewind scenes to show what really happened. even though it got a little too repetitive. oh well.

After seeing a couple episodes for the first time, I gave up on this dorama, but IM GLAD I CAME BACK:D Okada Junichi ish very hot in it ~ love his voice and his confident manner. Bambi grew on me!! I love him soooo much towards the end!! Made me like Sho-kun much much more!! Watchign the first time is a bit confusing with all the flashback, but when I rewatched the second time, I got all the humor bits and it was actually really fun to watch!! It may not be an elegant-looking dorama but if you understand it, it's very sweet and tanoshii!! Recommend this!

This dorama was seriously a breath of fresh air! Refreshingly unconventional, funny, and well-paced. The incredible chemistry between the central characters carried the show rather well and was gleefully enjoyable to partake in. I laughed out loud numerous times and I suspect many other viewers did as well. An evolved example of Japanese comedy that's not to be taken too seriously but definitely to be enjoyed.

Okada, Sakurai, & others make interesting chara and good to watch. The story was boring for me until ep.7 (which is the best ep so far, I feel.....and not just b/c Kishidan appears). Altho confusing at first, this drama grew on me and the ending wasn't disappointing. I also liked the unique way of storytelling and how it's consistent thru out the whole series.

I'm probably the only one who totally didn't get this one. Even if the comparison's ridiculous, a japanese Pulp Fiction wannabe's the easiest way to describe this drama.

It's the most unique drama i have ever watched..
Though most of the drama made me go "EH!?!" and "OHHH" when they finally do the flashback, i think the concept for this drama is really original and commendable. Good acting by characters too ^^

the only bad thing was the main character totally didn't look like he got cancer -.-

Fun and campy, but pointless drama. It does draw your attention in and is overall an enjoyable drama to watch, but it's not something I'd rush out to get immediately. JE fans may beg to differ as popular JE boys Okada Junichi (V6) and Sakurai Sho (Arashi) play the main lead and one of the main costars.

Great dorama, different and funny. The first episode was hard to understand, but you wont regret sticking on the story because it is so hilariously entertaining. Makes you want to visit Kisarazu!!

Omg Kisarazu is so funny! THe Cast is adorable too :D
I love it the gags which has to do with japanese entertianment in general. The fact that is actually a dorama with baseball isn't that bad, although i really dislike baseball. Anyhow this Dorama reminds me of Ocean's Eleven/ Twelve....how they did it? yes...for the ordinary Watcher its very difficult to see what they did..because the hints are too complicated to find out. but in the end its always so logically.
The fact that there are also 2 movies of it, is of course more motivating if you really love the dorama like me. I couldn't get enough of it and its so balanced...although mostly strict matters are not seen that strict and more like something funny its such a beautiful dorama...it makes me enjoying my life more than i did bedore watching it. but acutally i DID enjoy it before watching kisarazu.. so~

quite a fun bunch to watch! i love how japanese boys are sooo noisy and crazy and just plain entertaining when put into groups~! i also came to understand why they chose okada junichi to lead Tokyo Tower the movie, as he really feels like the kind of guy that has a "barrier-free" heart (as popularized by Beautiful Life) in that he doesn't care about age differences and stuff. and the dear tsukamoto takashi & narimiya hiroki are here -- as brothers!!! gotta love that~ sassuga the director of IWGP to come out with an another unconventional jdrama!

Funny,silly and weird but great storyline which was touching. Loved Okada Junichi in Tokyo Tower and loved him here especially when he sang the Legend of Red Bridge. Life,love and times in a small Japanese town obsessed with baseball.

Funny throughout most of the show, even if something is serious, it'll end up being something that will make you laugh.

Very good cast and funny. Sadly the funny part is a bit deep, so many people don't really get the picture.

Sho is in it!!! Bambi...

Another amazing series penned by Kankuro Kudo, this is a lighter, fun-filled adventure tale of a group of friends searching for excitement and close bonding. The usual wackiness ensues, with the kind of distorted, WTF scene-changing moments similar to Tiger & Dragon's style. If you like bizarre humour and seeing a bunch of crack dudes being dorky, get this!

(^^)v wat to do? It's Okada again and this time Sho is also in this drama. This drama has a dark humour to it and the dialogue is interesting. However, certain part of this drama does not really have any logical barrings to the storyline. Some may love it or simply find it a waste of time. Which was why I gave a 7 rating. To complete this drama there are 2 moives on it. Try serching for it for those who love this drama.

the style of this show reminded me of IWGP (had a few of the same actors too). it's hillarious and creative. Don't trust the synopsis. when i read what it was about i thought it'd be sappy and sad.. but no, it's just plain funny. strongly suggested.

My favourite drama by screen writer Kudo Kankuro - even though storywise IWGP and T&D are better.

This is mainly because of the story´s central character - Bussan, a terminally ill lad who had not much of a perspective anyway.
Bussan is warm, cute, loud yet frail and really really funny. His love for baseball, his small town and his four friends is really touching and never pathetic.
Besides the wonderful cast (at least 2 JE Boys, but they deliver) you get hilarous flashbacks, excentric side characters, the über-cool references.

I want to see the two movies, which followed really badly :-)))

kisarazu.....CATS!...NYA!..CATS!..NYA!..CATS!..NYA~~!
its easy to follow, though the plot is unbelievable and Bussan looks too healthy at times to have cancer, but overall its a real happy show.

Alrighty- This drama rides on a lot of japanese culture and whatnot and its hard to understand if you watch it without the group who is subbing this not put any "cultural notes" and ieven if they do its still difficult ot understand why its so important in the show or why its funny. Still found this drama good even though I did somewhat know culture stuff. I recommend this. (Watched Summer 2007)

It took the second time around (of watching the first episode) to get me hooked... but I'm glad I gave it a second chance. It's definately different... and you have to stick with it all the way through an episode to truly start appreciating it. Now it's one of my favorites. =)
