Un asadora que te hará amar a tu ciudad natal.

Bueno, si has visto un "asadora" sabes que estas historias (que en un principio asustan por los 151/156 episodios que tienen pero luego sientes un alivio cuando escuchas que son de 15 minutos cada episodio) son una montaña rusa llena de emociones y Amachan no es la excepción.

Con un guión a cargo de Kudo Kankuro, tenemos a Aki, una joven de 16 años con una personalidad algo gris, llega de la gran Tokio a un pueblito muy alegre y solidario llamado Kitasanriku, sin embargo, a medida que pasa el tiempo la chica empieza a abrir su corazón hacia los locales y su entorno, adoptando una personalidad más "sociable" y sobre todo encuentra sueños en los cuales luchar para lograr hacer realidad. En general la historia va a un buen ritmo a excepción de los de las primeras semanas, que los vi algo lentos , aunque nunca se pierde el interés porque es un drama que te muestra varios "mundos" a medida que Aki avanza en su vida.

El reparto de 10, tanto el veterano como el juvenil, hay veces que en ciertos dramas o pelis destaca x o y actor, pero aquí siento que hubo un buen balance, aunque claro, destaca quien debe hacerlo, es decir, Non, que interpreta a nuestra heroína, Aki.

La música casi siempre va de la mano con la historia que se presenta, la melodía del opening a veces fuera de lugar, pero creo que lo más valioso de la música son las canciones originales como "Shiosai no memory" "Jimoto ni kaerou", es bonito leer la letra de estas y ver que en verdad que son más que simples canciones de idol, son canciones que tienen todo un pasado, presente o un futuro en Amachan.

En resumen, si ya tienes experiencia en el mundo de los asadoras o te gustaría empezar, Amachan es muy buena opción, es una producción muy sólida, original y a veces con sus toques fantasiosos (pero disfrutables) que te harán decir "¡Jejejeh!" (esta es una expresión del asadora) o cruelmente realistas que a veces te harán soltar una lagrimita. Historia perfecta para inspirarte y amar a tu ciudad natal.

This drama is one of the stood-outs of the year. It is a bit flawed but all in all, it is a very well-made production. Kudo Kankuro has made another magic, but it was not only by his witty, comedy-genius scripts. All factors have to be present or otherwise it will easily fall apart. Fortunately, at this time he has it all.

I like the way the script tells the story, nothing very fancy but it is presented as it is. God knows I hate stories that try too hard to move the audiences to the desired emotions. In Amachan, (almost) all happens as it is natural. It portrays everyone's tendency to change minds, as what Amano Aki does in the story. At first, she wants to be an ama diver, then a deep-sea diver to an idol and finally saving her hometown. But wait, don't we do change minds as much as hers? Yes, she is determined and passionate but she is by no means regular asadora heroines, who are all focused in one aspect of life or dreams. The character, as well as others in the show, is multidimensional and more intricate compared to most dramas.

The cast is very strong, from the veterans to character actors (surely the arsenal of character actors in this drama is extravagant) to the youngsters. Even the cameos are fascinating. As the lead, Rena Nonsense...errr... I mean Rena Nounen (lol I find it's very funny that her name rhymes that way) does a superb portrayal of Amano Aki. Her range of emotions are awesome and she plays her role with heart that is rare trait for a teenage kid like her. She reminds me of young Ueno Juri a lot and I bet she is the next big thing in Japanese TV and movie scene.

Music-wise, it has a plethora of nice background music. But it is the opening soundtrack that stands out of the rest. I'd dare to say that theme song is one of the best opening theme ever made in any TV shows. Props to the composer who has done a great job.

The ending is a bit unsatisfying, somewhat rushed and a bit too optimistic, the last story arch needs at least 40 episodes to complete while in fact there are only 20 or so. That's why I settled with overall point of 9, it could be another 10 if the ending is good. I hope they have a plan to make a special episode to rectify the "fault", but in my scoring algorithm, 9 is enough to warrant a "must watch" label.
