誰かが私にキスをした Dareka ga Watashi ni Kiss wo Shita




Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac


Plot:
Naomi is an ordinary high school student who goes to an international school. One day, she loses her memory for the past 4 years. But gradually she begins to search for her identity, and even when her memory returns, she keeps on looking for her real self, and what she truly loves in life.


My thoughts:
I thought the way the people sounded when speakin Eglish sounded as though they couldn't act and made it sound were exagerating. Here I mean the non Japanese people.
It just sounded like people couldn't act.

I think this film could have been better.
I thought the ending was nice though.

Kuroshitsuji II



Plot:
In late-nineteenth century England, one year and three months after the dramatic conclusion of the original series, Kuroshitsuji II introduces a new butler and young master. The sadistic yet cheerful Alois Trancy has faced some harsh times. He was kidnapped as a baby, and was forced to work in a village as a slave. Gradually, he lost his parents, his best friend, and everyone he knew. Alois eventually returned home and became the head of his mansion, but seemed to exhibit some strange behavior ever since. Even more curiously, he returned with Claude Faustus, an enigmatic, emotionless butler with unfathomable talent...


My thoughts:
I like the characters of the Phantomhive household, they're alot of fun, Sebastian is deffinately my favourite character, he is cool, funny, and just so damn awesome. So you can imagine how I felt seeing Claude (Even his name is lame) comes along and they're trying to make us think of him as being just as awesome as Sebastian, erm yeah it ain't happening, and whats with trying to put Claude vs Sebastain? O_o,
Sebastian kicked so much ass in the first series, he has to win now too.

So yeah I didn't like this other butler.

I also don't like this other master Alois, He is just annoying, and a bratt in a bad way, I prefer my bratts to be; with the evil side to them, and sideways smirk & like Ciel Phanomhive himself,
If you're gonna be a bratt you need to be cool / awesome too. Alois is neither.

I also didn't like that after everything Alois had been through with the older man, that he would act in the manner in which he did with his servants.
I just don't want to believe someone with such experiences would behave in a similar fashion. owever its a sad truth that such things do happen, so I guess I have to give credit to the anime for acknowledging that.

I did find the second series a disappointment. The first would be ranked up there in my favourite Animes but I'm not quite sure if this would make the cut.

Than being said
It was enjoyable

For me this just wasn't on par with the first series, I could watch an episode and then be eager to watch the next but, this series I don't feel the same way.

It is unfortunate really
but atleast it is worth watching and I could enjoy it.
I just feel that i'm waiting for Sebastian to just come out and kick some ass, since we already know he would pwn everyone in the anime if he tried to even just a little.

I regret what i've said!!!,
After watching the last couple of episodes, this anime is great.
I felt so sorry for Sebastian at the end though & also the Prince because Ciel was one of his only friends and you could see he valued him alot.
But oh no Sebastian I hope Ciel will not be too cruel.

Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku




Plot:
Taiga is a struggling second-generation actor who has developed a complex due to his father, a famous actor in his time. Taiga, only get to appear in variety shows, most of the time. One day when his friend bring him out for a skydiving, a big wind dragg him away from the dropping point and he got stuck in a tree. A beautiful woman, Shiori (Takeuchi Yuko), come to rescue him. Shiori is a cheerful woman who laughs away all worries she has. She's exactly the opposite of Taiga...

My thoughts:
I've not finished this drama yet.


I like Matsumoto Jun as an actor, I feel that where he fails musically he excells in acting. Which is why I wanted to watch this drama.


Prior to watching this, I had heard bad things, and that this drama was receiving bad viewer ratings.


I decided to watch


&

I enjoy this.


I like the character of Taiga, he tries hard but knows he isn't doing so good, yet he still tries.

He wants to succeed,
He wants to do his family proud.


He accepts that the woman he has fallen in love with doesn't love him, she can't love him, she has a husband who she loves dearly, despite all of this, he still tries to act as he always has with her, despite her openly knowing his true feelings.


I like that Taiga has a bit of a stupidness to him. XD


I think it must be hard for Shiori, she is in love with her husband and does not want to betray her love to him, she wants to bring her daughter up the right way, which she has been doing all by herself.


It must really be hard for someone to fall in love after losing their most loved person who they had sworn to love for the rest of their life. To then find themselves falling in love with somene else, must be difficult.
I can't really comment, as I've never experienced such a thing, and hope I never have to.

I never want to experience the person I love dying.


Episode 9
Taiga understands the way Umi feels about her father and really takes it into consideration, I think this is very mature of him.
Childrens feelings are alot more complicated than what we assume, and they can comprehend more than what we think they can, therefore I think its important to try and be honest with them, and properly speak to them.
Shiori had not told Umi about her new relationship with Taiga, this must be something very shocking for Umi, to have to find out, when she isn't being told about it by the only person she had to rely on ~ her mother. Instead she finds out at school surrounded by her friends and adults.
I feel it was quite an impersonal way to have to find out.
I thought it was really nice that Taiga had decided to give a gift of crayons to Umi, so that she can continue to make drawings of her father, and love him in her own way, unfortunately his feelings were not able to reach her, and as a resulted not only Umi but also Shiori and Taiga become hurt.


Next up episode 10 with Nino ~ I love that Arashi have started this trend of being in one anothers drama.

I think it is sweet that everyone is getting along and that they are all happy, I thought it is nice that the mother of Shiori's husband is happy for Shiori to be moving on with a new love.
I thought Taiga's mother's personality is quite cute, however I feel that at times she is stupid for example, when she is at the theatre and she is calling Taiga and waving to him, as an ex-actress wouldn't she know better?

I also liked that in episode 10 there are so many celebrities, for example Kyoko Fukada as well as the actor who played the restaurant owner in Bambino.
I think it is good of Taigo to honestly tell his feelings to Umi, for her to understand and for himself to give her the apology he feels he owes to her, as he understands her feelings for father she couldn't meet, yet loves.


I lke Taiga and his friends, they can be very funny.


I like to call this drama NatsuJun, because i'm lame like that 8D
also the little girl that plays Umi is absolutely adorable.
This was a nice drama to watch, about a typicial love story and the obstacles two lovers face in order to finally love one another.



GM~踊れドクター GM Odoru Doctor




Plot:
A brilliant general medicine doctor dreams only of becoming a famous dancer. He returns to Japan to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry only to find out the agency he signed up with was a sham. He stays in Japan and works part-time in a run-down GM center solving baffling medical mysteries. All the while he plans for his dancing comeback



My thoughts:
Episode one - after watching the first episode I think this looks to be a decent drama, but nothing exceptionally special.
I look forward to seeing each of the characters personalities coming out as we discover more about them and see them grow.
I think Goto Hideo will be an interesting character.
I also think Motoki Kensuke will be somewhat bitter that he is not doing the exact job he wants to be doing.

I think this drama will be typical in that the group of Doctors will become considered the greatest in their feild as they become better as a team.

I really like the theme song ~ LIFE ~Me no Mae no Mukou e~ by Kanjani∞

うぬぼれ刑事 Unubore Deka




Plot:
A 30-year-old single detective (Nagase Tomoya), who is under the illusion that he is popular with females is called 'Unubore' by friends. He is an ultra romantic and susceptible to conceitedness. He has such a strong desire to marry to the extent that he has bought an apartment for his newlywed life. He falls in love with female criminals at first sight each time. While the sheer desire to meet wraps around him, he will get proof that the female is the culprit. And so, he will thrust both the arrest warrant and marriage papers at her, proposing with the words, "If you marry me, I won’t arrest you." If that still does not work, he will hold out an engagement ring and his handcuffs. In the end, the criminal will choose to be arrested and his heart will be broken. He will cry as he puts the handcuffs on her...

My thoughts:
I hope my expectations of this drama are not too high due to the cast.
so far i've watched the first episode and I like it, I think the group of guys from the bar are going to have many epic / hilarious/ emotion fueled moments to look forward to.
The more of this drama I watch , the more I enjoy it!!!
-Edit-
I finished this drama.
I especially liked the final episode.
I am pleased this drama was really enjoyable to watch.

Also I really like the theme song NANANA by TOKIO it even has Ikuta Toma in the PV which makes me even more happier XD


성균관 스캔들 Sungkyunkwan Scandal



Plot:
Sungkyunkwan Scandal is set in Sungkyunkwan University in the late Joseon era during the reign of King Jeongjo, revolving around the exploits and love stories of four youths. When her younger brother's illness worsens and their family is in danger of being evicted from their house for lack of money, Kim Yoon Hee enters the school under his name, disguised as a boy in her desperation to support him. There, she becomes friends with the intelligent and upright Lee Sun Joon, the playboy Goo Yong Ha and rebellious Moon Jae Shin.



My thoughts:
So far i've watched episoedes 1 & 2 & 3, i'm still not sure what I think of this drama, but I hope it will become more and more interesting and enjoyable.

I like the characters Moon Jae Shin as i'd like to know more about his character and he just seems like fun. I also like another character whos name I do not yet remember oops, but he is the mysterious character who is a bad ass fighter.
My hypothesis is that this will be rather typical, in that as the drama progresses the girl will often face times of difficulties in concealing her true identity, as well as feelings of love for Micky's character.
I've watched more of this drama and am currently half way through it, I sometimes forgot what the point of the drama is,
Despite that, I think its nice to watch, I don't think this will become a favourite of mine, but who knows how things will turn out.
I really like the character Goo Yong Ha, he knows many things, and to him, its as though its all a game and the people are his pawns, he seems to be having fun testing people and their feelings, especially when it concerns Kim Yoon Shik.
He is often watching from the side lines, seeing how each of the events will unfold.

Mioka




Plot:

One day, Taichi, an ordinary university student meets Mioka, a girl who is like a storm. Taichi finds himself drawn to Mioka, who lives freely as she wishes without holding back, and they eventually fall in love. However, Mioka tells Taichi of her shocking truth. She has an incurable brain disease, with no medicine or treatment that can help her.

The progressing disease.

The loss of control over her own body.

The precious memories slowly fading away.

The fear of losing herself.

The limited time she has left.

Even with such a cruel fate, Mioka lives her life to the fullest extent till the end. Taichi, wholeheartedly loving her, decides to become the witness of her very existence in this world. --NTV





My thoughts:

I really liked this drama.
Although it sounds bad to say I enjoyed waiting and watching the last days of a character I liked before she eventually died.

I think this drama was well balanced out, the way it moved from an emotional and sad scene to one of happiness and laughter.

I think this was something that each of the characters from Mioka's group of new found friends brought to us.

This drama started out with a bubbly and lively Mioka, whose ideals are to live life to the fullest without a care in the world, much to the disliking of other people especially girls who like boys that have wanted Mioka.
This is also the case for one of Mioka's friends, Mari, who has liked Taichi for some time, but has not made her move until after Taichi had met Mioka.
I started out disliking Mari because to me she seemed like somewhat of a stuck up bitch that wants to have things her own way, I also thought she was going to be evil towards Mioka in order to get the man she wants back.

I think for Taichi, his experience with Mioka, helped him to grow and become mature.

I really liked the character of Kunihiko, he was the comdian amongst the group of friends.

I really liked that in this drama the Doctor and Patient are the same actors that played the Doctor and Patient in a drama that I Love ~ 'Love Shuffle'.
Just this made me feel all warm and fuzzy and just plai fangirly inside 8D
I also felt this way because the actors who play the character Kunihiko & Mioka have both acted together in another drama that I really enjoyed ~ 'Tokyo DOGS'.

ヤンキー君とメガネちゃん Yankee-kun & Megane-chan




Plot:
Shinagawa Daichi used to be a good student who has now become a delinquent, while class president Adachi Hana was a delinquent who is now trying to move on. Her secret is discovered by Shinagawa, but she involves herself trying to correct his ways.



My thoughts:
This is an enjoyable drama but I wouldn't say it is a favourite.
I think its funny when Daichi imagines that he's going to be confessed to / kissed etc by Hana.
I think there can be morals drawn from many episodes, which is nice.
It is quite different to the manga, and I think I prefer the drama as I often became bored when reading the manga, and did eventually stop reading it.


I really like the theme song ~ Loose Leaf by Hilchryme
