Keizoku [ケイゾク] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Brilliant and quirky mystery series that went off the deep end towards the end. This sudden Lynchian nightmare works too, but not as well.
Love complex [ラブコンプレックス] Rating: 8/10 (Watched) Berserk and aggressively stylized, they fell apart a bit in the last two episodes.
Shiritsu Tantei Hama Mike Rating: 8/10 (Watched) This varies heavily by director; some of the episodes are just boring, but when the show works, it's completely brilliant.
Trick [トリック] Rating: 9/10 (Watched) Very original and highly strange.
Trick Season 2 [トリック2] Rating: 7/10 (Watched) Fun, but seemed to be going over the same ground without as much spark.

Ikebukuro West Gate Park [池袋ウエストゲートパーク] Ikebukuro West Gate Park [Rating: 10/10] By far the best drama at my video store, IWGP was apparently so influential on youth culture that they were unable to make a sequel due to the massive number of gangs that sprang up modeled on the color gangs in the series. The source novels are fine, but don't hold up to the drama; credit must be given to directors Tsutsumi Yukihiko and (uh, I so can't find his name, but he later directed Kisarazu Cat's Eye) and screenwriter Kudoh Kankurou, who also wrote the movies Go and PingPong.
