Genre: Office, Romance, Being an adult is a pain, People are stupid, Jin is sparkly, Jdrama

Episodes: 10 + Special

Summary: There is a 32 year old OL or office lady who wants to get married because apparently that's the only way you can be happy, despite the drama having a gazillion situations of a) people being stupid and b) married people being terrifically unhappy AND stupid.

Anyway, said office lady also happens to run a free counselling/noseing around buisness and help all her juniors and bail them out of trouble so she is a big sister-type figure in the office so the new (and very very hot) worker who joins the company, Kurosawa Akihiko, calls her "Anego" as a nickname and it sticks. Also, the adorable sexy Kurosawa happens to like her despite her being over ten years older then he is [but he is too young and sexy to get married].

Review: Let's admit it. The only reason people actually watch this drama is for Jin. There cannot be any other reason to watch it for. This happens to be the stupidest, most annoying drama EVER. The only thing I liked in this drama was how their thoughts were written on the screen, and they had entire mind reading battle things, and I suspect even that was mainly because of the cute expressions Jin made while thinking XD.

More importantly, for most of this drama, we get to see Jin in a SUIT. *dies* And then, we also get to see Jin with bed hair and amazingly broad shoulders *is reincarnated only to die again*. I fail to see how anyone can look soo utterly adorable one second and so damn sexy the next. We also get to see him hopping around trying to get dressed. *dies again*

[clearly I'm having trouble with coherancy or rather, staying alive, so I shall not even try to write paragraphs upon paragraphs about how utterly gorgeous Jin is in this, although I am VERY tempted to, because he is utterly and completely adorakable and so damn HOT.]

I shall just end it by saying that Jin has gorgeous collarbones [I recently developed a collarbone fetish because of him], and the most awesome beaty spot ever beside his right eye [which I worship on sight *_*], and also his hands are to die for. He also has the most adorable smile, and him sleeping all curled up on the couch is just TOO adorable. *floats away to fangirl nirvana*

It was also most amusing when Anego tries to hide Jin under a blanket on the floor, and Jin actually goes along with it. ^_^ Ah. And they send Jin to MONGOLIA. That was beyond awesome. Specially when he goes running around in the middle of a desert looking for a power outlet XD. He does the same thing later in the special too but in snow instead, while clutching a laptop to his chest. XD

Music:
We Will Rock You by Queen [Insert song]
KISS or KISS by Kitade Nana [Ending theme]

Rating: 1/10 [and even that is for Jin's prettiness, nothing else. I know his prettiness deserves MUCH more then a one, but this drama was SO DAMN ANNOYING. The only reason I'm even reviewing it is because I want to fangirl Jin's beauty spot and collarbones... *oh ho ho ho*]

Quotes:

Kurosawa Akihiko: Let me have sometime to think...

Kurosawa Akihiko: Umm... around... five... years?

Genre: School Life, Teaching, Juvenile Delinquents, JDrama

Episodes: 10

Summary: Teacher with unconventional methods of teaching believes in students who happen to be juvenile delinquents and don't trust teachers. Teacher protects them and gains their trust and teach them stuff and get them to graduate. Oh, and the teacher happens to be the fourth generation of a mafia family and if they find out about her family she'll be fired. [Basically you refer to the plot of Gokusen, and then take in a different batch of high school delinquents with two pretty johnnys as ring leaders instead of one.]

Review: Jin is SPARKLY *_*

I COULD just have ended the review with that, coz basically, his sparkliness is worthy of carrying the weight of the entire review. He was DAZZLING. *goes around going 'mabushiii~' like Pi in the making of SUMMARY*

Ahem. I get distracted. Anyway.

As you can tell from the summary, Gokusen lacks a proper plot, or story, or utter AWESOMENESS, which the likes of Liar Game or Nobuta or even Hotaru no Hikari have. The plot is repetitive every episode, there is no REAL story line, and you don't particularly need to watch the episodes in order coz they are most of the time not even that much related to each other. Nothing much happens either, but come on, this is a freakin classic, for REASON. And no, I don't mean the pretties, although they really ARE pretty, and DO play a pretty huge role in me loving this. But it's funny, coz Yankumi is awesome in her own self-contradictory and slightly cringe-worthy yet still funny way.

Also, her suddenly falling in love upon sight with random people and then giving them names like Mr. Burbury is funny too. And the scenarios taking place in her head making her act all dorky And this season had the poor Baba sensei in love with her as well. eh heh.

[Although I will admit that the next time I hear that music and Yankumi going "Me? I'm their/his homeroom teacher" as she takes off her glasses and rubber bands, to beat up the villains/whatever, I fear I will be sick. Hearing it in every single episode for three seasons has that effect on you. -_-']

Now lets go back to talking about the pretties. I DID mention how sparkly Jin was did I not? Coz I cannot stress enough on this point. And he was not ONLY sparkly, but also SO DAMN ADORABLE (I cannot lay off the caps sorry, but it NEEDS to be upper-cased) I love how Jin does his own bunny-peace-sign thing, even in the Hayato character, and all the adorable ways he ended his sentences when he was speaking and stuff. I practically DIED in the episode where he helps out Kuma in his Ramen shop and wears his hair clipped up. I practically DIED again during the interviewing practice episode where they decided to interview Yankumi and Jin wears the OMGHOTT white shirt, with glasses and goes "Dozo~" gesturing with his hand. Jin is certainly hazardous for health, if only from the many times he makes you forget to breathe from his GORGEOUSNESS, and then the times you laugh so much that you hurt from his stupid bakanishiness, and the times he makes your heart break with his adorable songs like Care and Hesitate and Murasaki, or- Ermmm I think I'm going out of topic here, so I shall cut off the Jin fangirling as of now. Let's speak of the other pretties.

I didn't like Kame-chan's character that much here. I mean I do LOVE his Kenshin-ish hair, and he makes the very boring character that is Odagiri Ryu (I'm sorry, but I totally prefer baka-Hayato-ish types over the cool types like Ryu) kinda adorable and cute at times like when he picks on Yankumi or goes along with his friends stupid plans. Or points out flaws in their brilliant ideas bringing them down to earth. And he IS such a pretty girl gorgeous, even when or perhaps specially when he gets beaten up, with Hayato, which kinda happens in nearly every episode. [I also fear that I might be slightly sadistic, because them being SO DAMN GORGEOUS when they are beaten up had me actually looking forward to seeing them all beaten up -__-']

I also love how they have the whole Akame, eternal-rival-bestfriends thing here. I especially adored the scene where they tried to ridiculously out do each other in who recieved more chocolates for Valentines. (until Yankumi popped out of nowhere and interrupted) XD

Now, then there was Tsuchi, who was again, gorgeous. And he was tall! (poor Akame standing next to him *snickers fondly*) And he had this fan which he carried everywhere which was very cool. And who can forget the VERY adorable Teppei. ^_^ And also the guy who played Hyuuga. (since he has already imprinted himself into my brain in Nodame)

This is worth a watch if you can get it from a friend or something. I don't think its worth downloading to watch (although am being really hypocritical here coz I even burned it onto a dvd after I got it from yuae coz I wanted to ogle at Jin's prettiness whenever I want to, and often), and you probably wouldn't have the patience to stream it and watch it either, since it IS pretty repetitive. Although if you can summon patience for the sake of pretty Akame, and adorkableness, douzo~ ^_~

Music:

No More Cry by D-51 [Ending theme]
Kizuna by Kamenashi Kazuya [Insert song] (this is REALLY pretty. Words fail at HOW pretty. Although I think I love Takaki's song in the next season just as much too.)

Rating: 5/10 [For sparkly Jin and the funniness of it all. Kyun~]

Quotes:

As long as you have strength to protect those important to you, that's all you need.

~Yankumi to Hayato

Hayato: How many chocolates did you get last year?
Ryu: Donno... About 20
Hayato: Ahh.. I got around 22
Ryu: I see, I think that I got 30
Hayato: Oh I remember, I got 45
Ryu: Thinking about it mine was probably 67
Hayato: I had around 84
Yankumi: Eh, you guys are pretty popular, aren't you?
Or maybe, isn't your level a bit too low?
Hayato & Ryu: ... -___-'
Hayato: Why are you here?

Note: Why is Jin so sparkly?

And I will admit I did get a little emotionally touched at the end of this. It was due to Jin and Teppei crying. Pfft. I can't belive I got emotional over Gokusen... -__-' (well I can considering I did, but I shall pretend I cannot believe it anyway coz I like to act that way.)

At this point, it should be pretty obvious that I ADORE Jin's character Hayato and his utter sparkliness, no? Well just in case there IS any doubt, I shall clear it up by stating that he is SPARKLY, and ADORKABLY LOVABLE. ^_^

Genre: Romantic Comedy, Growing up, JDrama

Episodes: 8

Summary: Hei is a boy, who is as cute as a girl. He has his own team of ADMIRERS. Who are MALE. He is even chosen as the third most "prettiest" in the whole school. His best friend Banri, is the elementary school heart throb who has around 17 girls confessing to him on his 'slow' days. What happens is, Hei falls in love with Hina, who also happens to like him, but as neither confesses neither knows. And then Hina's best friend Makoto, who is a "perfect" type girl, who is the prettiest girl in school and also an expert at kendo who is stronger than all the boys, also falls in love with Hei despite calling him a shrimp and clashing with him all the time. And it's also possible that Hei's best friend, lady killer, school idol and slightly narcistic Banri fell in love with Hina too. This is not mentioning Hanashimada who is in love with Makoto, Takaoka who is in love with Hei (whom he first thought was a girl) and half the school in love with Banri. It's an intricate love triangle quadrilataral pentagon hexagon . . . . situation.

Review: The Joana-uh~ bits killed me. XD It was hillarious. The entire drama makes you go "Eh~?" for the most part, but you get a lot of amusement, like Takki fangirling Yamapi and wondering what it would be like to kiss him, and Aiba actually trying to hold Yamapi down and kiss him. *snicker* Basically a lot of people chase Yamapi, and he is stuffed into female dresses upon occasion too. *snickers more*. Oh and yeah, in the beginning of the drama he gets groped in the train coz the pervert thinks he is a cute girl. And goes. "WHAT part of me looks like a girl!?" in a VERY adorable way ^_^

[Sorry for the lame review, but this minidrama and certain scans have eaten my brain. -_-' Might edit later if I get it back. My brain that is. Oh and Fably, you cannot say am not allowed to do this coz you haven't even posted a single thing in ages so there! >_<]

Music: Don't know yet, but the song is quite catchy~

Ratings: I won't rate this coz it's not technically a drama, but Takki fangirling Yamapi a mini one, but its worth a watch definitely :P Specially since the episodes are quite short and their are only 8 episodes. Also, its hillarious.

Banri: GO!
Hei: What about the game?
Banri: We don't need guys who can't even confess to the girl he likes in this game.
