Japanese dorama  
I need more J-dorama to watch. Puripuri D is weekly so I have that to keep up with. I'm slowly downloading all of Yasha, which is a sci-fi drama. I've heard good things about Water Boys but James apparently thinks it's only so-so. I'll have to get that from him eventually. There's a new school-comedy one called My Boss, My Hero that sounds interesting, but I gotta wait for it to be subtitled. >.< It's not like Puripuri D where I can just simply be amused by the boys in pink frilly dresses.

[EDIT] Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] cooljade
Tenimyu boys I've seen in dresses: KenKen, Takuya (dress and bikini), Saito, Kotani, Endo, Yanagi
My fandom likes to cross-dress. Pink is the color of preference. XD

I thought I supplied you with something like five or six J-D series?

Really? Which ones? I remember GTO and that's it.

"You're Under Arrest!"..."Summer Snow"..."Yanpapa"...several others i seem to be unable to locate at the moment.

Nope, never seen them in your collection. And I've never even heard of the second and third one.

Yasha is boring as all hell. You would think a dorama about evil twins would be fun to watch. I just regret I wasted 2 days downloading it.

Remember my addiction to J-dorama this past year? I know scores of series better than Water Boys. Maybe I would have loved Water Boys if it were the first jdorama i had ever seen...but it doesn't scream originality.

I don't know. I like Yasha so far. Maybe it's just my morbid curiosity to find out what happens (don't tell me!) or it could be the fact that little Endo Yuya is so cute. Who knows? It's only 11 eps so I'll finish it. I've realized that I liking finishing series, despite how bad they are. Elfen Lied was bad but I bore through it. Tenjo Tenge was horrible but I somehow managed to finish it.

And Water Boys doesn't scream original 'cause it's not original. It only came out after the movie did so well. Watch the movie; I hear it's a lot better than the series. And did you watch the first or the second series of Water Boys?
[identity profile] evilestdonut.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 05:50 pm (UTC)
Well, in all fairness. I skimmed Yasha and it seemed boring. I decided I didn't wanna invest a week into all the betrayal and angstyness. I shoulda known you just got into it cuz of some actor.

I'm still a few episodes away from finishing the first Water Boys. I hear Water Boys II is an exact carbon copy of the original only with different guys. The dance moves are apparently even the same.

Yes, I only started watching because of Endo Yuya. But I'm continuing 'cause I'm kinda drawn in and curious about the story. You download via bittorrent or each episode individually?

You see the movie?
[identity profile] evilestdonut.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 06:34 pm (UTC)
I downloaded each episode separately thank god. I only got to episode 8 before I decided it was a waste of hard drive space.

Nope, haven't seen the movie. I'm taking a break from dorama to catch up on 5 seasons of Will & Grace. Have you seen The Office (Uk version)? It's bloody brilliant.

Where'd you download from, do you remember? I've been having trouble with ep 7-11.

hm... do you mean to say that you have not seen yuuya in a dress or two yet?? ;) or yanako?
[identity profile] anoudegozaruna.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 06:24 pm (UTC)
No, although I'd be very interested to. I'm convinced that all of the tenimyu boys will eventually cross-dress sometime in their lives.
[identity profile] cooljade.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 06:26 pm (UTC)
LOL me too XD i just hope they do it nicely ^^° puripuri is a bit shrilly for me *gets bricked* but i mean, imagine kazuki in a pink dress XDDDDDDD
[identity profile] anoudegozaruna.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 07:13 pm (UTC)
*imagines Kazuki in a pink dress* O.O *brain explodes*
And it will be a pink dress 'cause that seems to be the trend. KenKen, Takuya, Nakamura, Endo. All in pink. I don't quite remember Saito and Kotani's dresses but I'm sure they had pink on them.
[identity profile] cooljade.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 07:14 pm (UTC)
lol i didn't see anything of saito's dress because his wig was so shiny it blinded me XD
[identity profile] anoudegozaruna.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 07:19 pm (UTC)
I think I was more distracted by his make-up than his wig, though his wig was quite eye-catching.

I think between you and [livejournal.com profile] moonrainty, I'm gonna be more motivated to brush up on my Chinese. And probably attempt to pick up little bits of Japanese.
[identity profile] cooljade.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 07:11 pm (UTC)
lol don't tell me you also speak chinese XD howcome every second tenimyu fan is either chinese or of chinese origin? more than that even XD

aaa japanese.... i don't have time for it T.T
[identity profile] anoudegozaruna.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 07:18 pm (UTC)
Yup, Chinese by birth and by blood. I moved to the US when I was relatively young so I forgot most of my Chinese, though. It's quite sad.

I probably won't have time for it, either. It's more of a hopeful wish. I'll just have to glue my eyeballs to [livejournal.com profile] moonrainty's LJ for translations and such.
[identity profile] cooljade.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 07:20 pm (UTC)
hm... hm... does that mean that you cannot read chinese either? because if you could i have the 1st ep of my boss my hero with chinese subs. it's hilarious
[identity profile] anoudegozaruna.livejournal.com on July 13th, 2006 07:28 pm (UTC)
I can read very little. Think first grade level Chinese. And only simplified.

I'm willing to wait. My connection at home is crap anyway so downloading's really slow for me. Once I get back to school, it'll go a lot faster.

Thanks, though! If I can't find any downloads available later, I'll know who to poke. ^_^
