This movie is epic, son! Everywhere Ai to Makoto failed, Tokyo Tribe succeeded. Sono Sion really hit a grand slam with this one! I loved the criticism about war and the good positive message in the end. Not to mention the crazy awesome ride to get there, haha! So much fun! I think I'm going to watch it again!

ikr so cute!

My favorite idol!

The cinematography in this drama is freaking amazing. I loved the cinematography so much. The story is pretty good, not too amazing, but they executed it really well. The acting is really good. And the ending was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, since part of the story was pretty easy to figure out. But they brought it together nicely. Story - 8, Cinematography - 10, Acting - 9, OST - 9. Overall - 9.

Yes, the cinematography is just, oh my god, so good.

I wonder how many people will read this that don't know about Honest Trailers and Cinema Sins? Look it up on youtube guys.

LOL I read that in the Honest Trailers style (as you wrote it) and it was funny! Good job! I love Doctor X and I love Honest Trailers!

Yea, people kinda missed how it's more about life and learning from your mistakes during your young adult relationships rather than just the right couple getting together. It's a personal fav of mine. I don't even care about the haters.

meh, I wish the results were more diversified and that better dramas would have won, but at least they're all good dramas.

Good article. I agree on the ones I watched (Roosevelt Game, Wakamonotachi, Black President and Alice no Toge) and it makes me want to watch the ones I didn't (the yays I mean).

Big YES to Roosevelt Game!

Now Nobunaga is winning or almost winning everything. That makes me happier than when Bitter Blood was winning everything, but I would still like to see more diversity with the results.

I'm so glad you liked it more the 2nd time around! I loved it the first time. Yes, the anti-procrastination message hit me really hard, and I loved the friendship and youth part of this drama. I also liked what you called the thin thread of small changes that win the war in the end. Great review!

I noticed all of these were from the beginning half of the year (Jdrama atleast). The end of the year was much stronger.

I loved Mozu. The only thing about it for me was that the wife's motive was a little weak.

I have to watch Long Goodbye, the Miyamoto special and S Saigo no Keikan now.

I agree with you 100%, except on the bleh year. This year was great! It had a bunch of really great dramas (Roosevelt Game, Ashita Mama ga Inai, Kazokugari, Wakamonotachi, Gomen ne Seishun, Nobunaga Concerto, N no Tame ni just to name a few).

I'm going to be so bitter if Bitter Blood wins everything!

While I don't like the polls for this very reason (the majority of people haven't seen enough 2014 dramas to compare them to each other), Kazokugari for the win! It's definitely in my top 3 best dramas of the year!

Watching this for Maki Yoko, Nikaido Fumi, and Usuda Asami
