It's the 8th in Japan, no? So...HAPPY EITO DAY!!!! XDXD
I just saw Otomen. I came in with low expectations because I heard mostly negative reviews and I don't care for Okada Masaki as much as an actor. But to be honest--I kinda enjoyed it. LOL! With Asuka's father singing the 'otome' song with ruby red lips...and then suddenly saying that he's going to become a woman... with Tachibana drawing manga version of Asuka (even though there's no point, right? He's supposed to be drawing Asuka's favorite manga with girl!Asuka and boy!Ryo, no?) Oh well XD The only issue I had is that they threw in everyone at once and the plot moved too quickly. It didn't set up the idea of Asuka being the manly idol of the school enough, in my opinion, and they already threw in his kendo rival and the girly looking kid who idolized Asuka. I adore Kimura and it was nice seeing him there, but with those dumb lackeys, I keep hoping he'll be used better in the future than playing second banana to an old Hana-Kimi costar when I feel like he was one of the better actors from the show. Personal opinion, though XD
I also saw Orthros no Inu. I have basically the same opinion as Tia--the premise was interesting, but something feels a bit off between Takki and Ryo. And Takki basically has an expressionless face the entire time. Hikaru wasn't bad, though! His character seems more interesting than his groupmate Yabu's in Ninkyo Helper, although I still feel like Ninkyo Helper is the best drama for me this season. Haven't seen Kochikame yet though, and Karina, Moco, and Shingo--hmmm 8D
Buzzer Beat--I enjoyed the basketball scenes for sure, and I also enjoyed Kanjiya Shihori's character (she was Mei in Love Shuffle!) but that's pretty much it for me. The basketball seemed a little too perfect too--there's no way they could make that many consecutive shots!! I might catch more in the future---we'll see.
Anybody have favorite dramas this season? What do you recommend?
Congrats to Ohkura, Yasu, and Aiba for their dramas. It's very exciting! And the Puzzle DVD and special 'event' on the 19th...! I wonder what it's about 0_o
Subaru sounded awesome in the Tsubasa Rock and Dance DVD (he actually harmonized!)
Aand...former Johnny's Jr. Matsumoto Kazuki (26) was just arrested for pachinko theft. hahahahahaahha
Also Eita will star for the first time in the play "Tokyo Gekko Makyoku". Yaaay!
Yopo got me addicted to reading toxic fics in
pottersues.
Rest in peace John Hughes--your teen flicks from the 80's will be remembered forever. Breakfast Club will forever be the most memorable movie of his for me :D
End random.
