At first I thought the remake was great, but that was mostly due to the cast. Now that I'm on episode 9 it's just okay. It's not bad but the 1998 version is much better. I agree with you, it's brilliant.
Oh and I watched Shinigami no Seido and I loved it! It was a really great movie. I may watch it again.
Pretty good, but it could have been better. It has an awesome premise/plot but it was too long. It would have been better if it was shorter and they could have made the romance a tiny bit better. They did a good job at making it feel surreal, but it also was so drawn out that I had to pause it a few times to stop myself from falling asleep. If I was film maker I would redo this movie, make it better, release my version and give this film credit for the idea.
I always wondered what motivated people to fansub. I thought it would be just a painstaking task. I didn't know it was so enjoyable. I'm glad to know he likes it so much. We definitely appreciate it!
haha this had me literally grinning the whole time. If I were to quote all the things that had me rofling 80% of the article would be in this post. I always love your writing Rita. You're starting to inspire me to overcome my laziness and actually take time to improve mine. And... you were thinking about me when you mentioned Maki weren't you?
I haven't seen #3 and #4 yet, but I definitely agree with the rest.

Yeah I need to see the 2 movies asap, but I can't get the torrents. Do you have the torrents, or could you get them and email them to me?
About Beautiful You - hmmm.. I have mixed emotions about it. One side of me is just mocking the ridiculousness of it's Kdrama cliche's, while the other side of me is actually enjoying the newness of it all. Overall it feels like a totally different show, but it's also bringing up all the wonderful memories of the 2007 J-version, so much so that I started watching the 2007 J-version for the 3rd time today. So no Beautiful you is not perfect but it still has enough Hana Kimi magic to it to make me keep watching it.

So I just finished Kisarazu Cat's Eye and it was great! Thanks for the suggestion. And yes, I now love the writer of these awesome dramas. This one reminded me a lot of IWGP. I loved KCE, but I still think Unubore and Tiger and Dragon were a little better. You can't help but to love all of them though. The writer does a great job at creating a large cast of characters and situations that are hilarious, touching and a little perverted haha. It's always a fun journey watching his dramas.
