Atsu-hime ep.5. Miyazaki Aoi definitely makes this one worth watching. Mr Green

She gets better and better as the series progresses. At first she reminded me of her Nana role. But right around the episodes you are going into she morphed into the princess role with gusto. I can't get enough of this series. One of the best roles she has ever had. As someone said it is reminiscent of an asadora. I agree and I'm glad it's so. I have missed the asadoras since ch 18 decided to kill them with stupid replacements, although they have done very well in bringing this great drama to us.
It's amusing to note that in other forums, this drama holds great attention and discussion in very positive veins. For instance on the Runboard forum:
http://www.runboard.com/bcjkdramasincalifornia.f5.t169167
I guess the folks there are more into this type of taiga where it's more of a story line than historical correctness.... I know for me this is the only type of taiga I could watch and enjoy.

For me, I don't care if it has historical inaccuracies... as long as it's entertaining. And Aoi-chan certainly is that. She has such a spark, it's no wonder she was loved so much for Nana.

Okay. A couple of episodes into "Mystery Folklorist"

http://www.jdorama.com/drama.852.htm

and I'm already forming an opinion. It's not very good.

It's sort of like a group of people wanted to make a series that was sort of like "Trick". Only they decided to do it without spending any money, or employing anyone with any talent.

Aside from that, it's just like "Trick".

Oh and re Cori's comments on the subs on my retail version of the series. They are gawdawful.

Ii Hito episode 1

I am still watching, but the first half hour is so funny. hehe

The entire series has recently been released with english subs at d-addicts.

http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_62522.htm

Episode 2

It was at times predictable but I still thoroughly enjoyed the ride along with Yuji. It was a lot of fun. ^^ Thumbsup

To wash the bad taste of Last Friends out of my mouth, decided I needed something really frivolous, so up to episode 3 of Sexy Voice and Robo and so far, I'm liking it!! Suzuka Ohgo is great as the smart (but not smart-ass) Niko and Kenichi Matsuyama is the perfect otaku. So far, so good. Applaud

Finished episode 9 of Sweet Home. I found out that Fukaura Kanako, who plays the nosy neighbor, was only a year or 2 older than I was when she made this but she looks like she was in her mid 40's. Sweat Must be those huge glasses, the old-lady hairstyle, and awful 80's looking outfits she wore. hehe

I downloaded a series called Roomshare no onna. This is a Yorudora (as opposed to an asadora) 24 episodes x 15 minutes each. Only problem is, it's not subtitled Sad and I can't find subs anywhere.

While on vacation I finished up Seikei Bijin. Great series overall which I generally really enjoyed. I thought the last couple of episodes were pretty weak though and dragged the series down a notch or two for being utterly predictable and thin. Definitely recommended, but not as strong as it started out.

I started Lunch No Jouu (watched the first four eps) and I absolutely loved the first episode - grabbed me like nothing else! I thought the end of the fourth ep. was a little sad - the brother's declaration (Koshiro, I think) was so incredibly cliche.

Another vote for Tsumabuki Satoshi from me - he's doing great so far.

And Takeuchi Yuko may have the best smile on the planet Smitten She's a really cool character! So adorable!!

    Pride is probably her best work. Takeuchi and Kimura are pretty unbeatable combination.

Assuming Lunch Queen goes well, this will be added to my download queue forthwith!
