Yeah, I have a magazine that had a bit of info about him, and it said "hurricanranger" which was also hard for me to believe aswell....

sorry, I meant "You MEAN another drama called OL Visual K", something like that, where an 'ugly' girl can turn herself beautiful with just make-up, that was a different actress, but there also was Beauty Seven, but that didn't have her, or an actress that looked like her in it...understand what I'm trying to say???

PS: a song in that Dorama was done by a two man group called "Doggy Bag" and the song was called "Ready Lady"...

I am very new to the JDorama scene, but have tried to get myself up to speed the past few months reading everything I can and even starting to watch a few shows. Well lemme just say I can't wait to see this in action if it ever comes out with English subs. Just thought I'd add my voice to let peeps out there know that there is interest in this one!

Welcome to the boards and thanks for the vote... I don't have a real good feeling about this show getting the English subs it deserves, but let's try to stay positive!

I also would really like to see this one with English subs--heck, even my husband showed an interest in this one (he usually doesn't, but he thought this looked cute). I may break down and get it raw just to see it, but my Japanese is not very good, so I miss a lot of the jokes that way...

*keeps fingers crossed for English-sub version*

Needless to say, but count me in on this as well. I've got this sinking feeling that it'll never be English-subbed, so we might have to settle for the next best thing: a Chinese-subbed version which seems to be readily available...

If anything, I hope the video quality is really good....

Damn, on Page 2 there's a poster of Ryoko-chan on a broom, that'd be perfect for Halloween!

You mean like this one hanging on my wall?

LOL

I should have known you'd have it.

Actually, it's not perfect. What I'd ideally want is a large picture of just Ryoko-chan on the broom, not the rest of the cast. And not with the script across her body.

Looking more closely, what I'm looking for is a scan just like the cover of the DVD and VHS boxes. The title is moved to under the broom.

How's the picture quality look up close? Good enough for, say, a 5x7 print?

Proabably not. I found the pic on the 'net.

Looks like there's gonna be some kinda Okusama Wa Majo Christmas special in December (if I understand the awful translation from Babelfish):

「魔女」米倉が帰ってくる
「奥様は−」１２月クリスマススペシャル

　今年１月期に女優の米倉涼子（２９）が主演し、人気を博したＴＢＳ系ドラマ「奥さまは魔女」が、スペシャルドラマとして復活することが１１日、分かった。

　“魔女・米倉”が帰ってくる。同局では「奥さまは魔女　Ｘ’ｍａｓスペシャル」を１２月中旬（日時未定）に放送することを決定した。ヒロインの魔女・松井ありさ役の米倉、ダーリン役の原田泰造をはじめ、夏木マリ、竹中直人らおなじみのメンバーが集合。クリスマスらしくサンタクロースも登場する豪華版だ。

　同ドラマは米国の同名人気ドラマの日本版として今年１月から３月まで連続ドラマとして放送。魔女学校へ入学するため魔界へ去ってから５年後、再び人間界に戻ってきたありさのドキドキハラハラを描く。刀根鉄太プロデューサーも「前回以上に、ハリウッドのスタッフも台本の仕上がりに『エクセレント！』と絶賛してくれました」と手応えをつかんでいる。

　米倉は現在出演中のテレビ朝日系ドラマ「黒革の手帖」（木曜・後９時）が高視聴率をマークするなど絶好調。「黒革―」で演じる銀座のママの着物姿とはうって変わって、キュートな魔女姿を再び披露することになるが「松井ありさが久々に戻ってくることになりました！　今回のスペシャルドラマがみなさんにとってすてきなクリスマスプレゼントになればと思っています。楽しみにしていて下さい」と気合を込めている。

That's great to hear. But when is someone going to sub the series? I would want to see that first...

Yeah, I hear ya... I gotta sinking feeling it'll never happen...

I finally got a copy of the first English subbed episode from aaron-yume and I have to say it's a fine job from what I've seen... :thumbsup"

Ten more to go, plus the special...

Screencap from saigoyume.com:

My Review: 8/10

I’m going to ignore for the moment that this drama is based on the American TV show “Bewitched”. Comparing it to the original series wouldn’t be fair and I’d have to change the tone of this review.

On it’s own, I found this drama highly entertaining. I have yet to see the last episode, but I believe my views would go unchanged. I thought the way the magic element was handled was awesome. Sometimes it was a bit hokey, but that only added to the overall charm of the show. No pun intended. lol

Yonekura Ryoko was fabulous. Although she was annoying at times, she made up for it in the moments that mattered most. She’s a strong actress, gorgeous, and has great style. She also pulled off the role of the witch beautifully. Harada Taizo was the perfect George! He’s so average! And so wonderful. I was instantly attracted to him and I could totally see what Arisa saw in him. Harada was really fun to wish and I thought his pairing with Ryoko-san was gold. My favourite character, of course, was Arisa’s mother, played by Natsuki Mari. Mari-san seemed to have a lot of fun playing the role, and it was a lot of fun to watch her when she was on screen.

The storyline was a bit awkward, since a lot of the plot elements were rushed. There was a common thread through each episode, but the story itself was rather empty and didn’t hole a lot of substance. Personally I didn’t find that this mattered. The purpose of the show was to have fun and enjoy the ride, and I did! Not every drama has to masterfully written in order to be enjoyed!
