Lol Nine sure did take its sweet time to be captivating but once it did, I couldn't get enough of it. The mystery keeps getting more and more interesting and the reveal doesn't let down ;)
hmm I originally found the synopsis of Q10 just generic but I guess it's worth checking out since you said it goes unexpected places ;) I remember being having a similar impression when I was watchin Shinigami-kun. I thought it would be light, predictable and repetitive but hot really surprised with it as of the 2nd episode
I've seen all but Unubore Deka and I agree, they're all excellent (though it pains me to see shows as recent as…
Oh man I missed out on Jikou Keisatsu it has my Odagiri Joe I need to watch it soon!! Meitantei no Okite should've been added it's very unique of it's genre. I think I might make an exception and add it to the "modern" ones :P
And yes there are quite a number of japanese dramas that blend comedy in such a fitting way, from the beginning to end while still fully tackle other genres at the same time.
Oh man so much pressure :P Unfortunately my drama watching hasn't been like before, (since graduating and entering the "adult" world) so I find that I missed out on a number of them. I got many interesting recommendations from the comments here :D I hope my part 2 won't be disappointing XP I need to write it ASAP!
i did not really enjoy kisarazu or hana kimi as much , i wouldn't put them in my favorite comedies. i would say…
I've seen most of those you mentioned, and some were pretty good, just not that memorable for me. Again just a matter of taste and what you look for in comedies. The dramas listed here I just found something special in them that communicated well with it ;)
I have an odd relationship with Japanese dramas. I don't find Japanese dramas/movies laugh out loud funny at all.…
Hmm I understand that. As I said it's a matter of preferences. I'm not really into variety shows but japanese comedies perfectly suit my taste. Well drooling over an actor is enough reason to check out dramas, specially when they are as short as Japanese ones :P
Awesome choices! I would add My Boss, My Hero, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan and Otomen, though! This is part one…
I've seen My boss my hero since I'm a Nagase Tomoya fan, and Yankee-kun to Megane-chan which made me fan of Narimiya Hiroki, and I enjoyed both but not to the point of being memorable to me. But they are fun nonetheless ;)
Thanks for your article! I have seen most of them and totally agree with your choices. Though Japanese dramas…
Yes those 3 dramas you're recommending I've wanted to watch them for a long while but just didn't come around doing so. What can I do the rate at which my ptw list has been growing is much faster than my completed list XD
Great article, I agree, I don't like comedies and rarely watch them but Japan has for real the most unique and…
Unfortunately I haven't watched Yuusha Yoshihiko and really don't have the time to watch anything at the moment :(
As for Ikebukuro I thought of putting it in the list but decided otherwise. It is one of my all time favourite, and it does have the Japanese comic relief that I love so much, but I can't really consider it a comedy. Yosuke is just amazing in anything he does. I think I want to dedicate some time of his movies I don't remember seeing a stalker guide for him he really deserves one.
Hmm I have seen and enjoyed my boss by hero but it wasn't as memorable as those I have here. As for Densha Otoko I feel guilty to have watched it until now hopefulle will do in the future soon ;)
In this list there are no less than 3 dramas written by the amazing and crazy Kudo Kankuro, a master when it comes…
Lol I realize I have already seen many of the dramas he's written. I see a pattern there :P Yup great sense of humour. I should check the rest of this guy's dramas ;)
