The drama series seems really tilted towards the 1987 era (Saku & Aki). That stuff is golden, while the present day 2004 storyline isn't doing much for me. I've heard the movie is more balanced b/w t ... |

Is there any connection between the 3 or are they all separate unrelated stories? I heard the movie and the drama both deviate from the book? Which one is closer, if any? |

Chalk up another vote for Fighting Girl on the "not worth seeing" list. I was waiting for something to happen the entire series. Nothing ever did. |

I'm psyched about "Sekai no Chuushin de," even though it has a young cast. |

Yeah, I'd go with Kimi wo Sagashiteta, too.

Congrats |
