the original DVD?? wow, but I didn't expect less from their biggest fan XD

I downloaded it yesterday. Maybe this weekend; it is just that I am not ready to say good-bye yet :S

"Carmen Rider Drive" hahaha.

I loved him in KnK, he was great in Rikuo and to me, the best in Teiichi. He is good at picking roles. I am currently watching him in Black Pean... he is so good at crying, it seems so effortless for him.

omg almost same as me! i loved him in Atashinchi (in fact, I loved the drama, a 10/10 from me); in Meichan I think he was the best... it was ridiculous that he was wearing a wig, but HE didn't look ridiculous, it suited him. I didn't have a SLS in Hotaru (I love Buchou!), and I also liked Paradise Kiss. As for Nobunaga C, I almost dnf, but I persevered XD but honestly, you didn't miss much.

Really? I'll keep that in mind whenever I want to drop one :) Nice article, btw!

I almost never drop any drama because I also "feel guilty" but towards the subber, not towards the people behind the drama. I know subbing is a long and hard process and to drop something that a subber put so much effort... That's why I always read all reviews available before starting a drama. If there aren't any reviews or very few, I go with my instincts.

Botchan is subbed, if you google it you'll find it!

The main girl is supposed to be smart but she always gets into dangerous situations, and of course she is the damsel in distress. Not even Ayano Go could have saved this drama :(

I am interested in all the Jdramas that are not shoujo. So I'll watch whatever is subbed XD Thanks for the list!

I am dying to watch The Third Murder. And I am beyond happy every time Koji Yakusho gets recognition, since he is an awesome actor.

where do u watchi Monitoring? Looks fun but it is almost impossible to google it :S

This man needs more main roles!

the subs are on d-addicts... only problem is, I don't know where to download the raw files -_- but on dramacool you can find the first 2 episodes subbed

I wasn't sure if you were the same fanitha, because I downloaded all your subs XD double thank you ^_^

if u have an lj account you can easily join some communities. The best way to start is with arashiproject, which has tons of old subbed videos.

I agree with all your choices! Except for Tunnels no Minassan... only because I've never watched it before O_O right this instant I'll google it, thank you!

I'll suggest the show Busaiku... it is so hilarious it literally leaves me with tears in my eyes every time I watch it.

gawd lord, no, quite the opposite. Since this user only watch Kdramas, and most Kdrama fans love to patronize Jdramas, it was understandable why her/his comment was so salty.

Understandable once I looked at your watch list...

I've watched Kame's (my favorite idol <3) and I don't think it was romantic, but the drama was sweet and family-oriented, which I love.
Sekaiichi is more a comedy than a romance I think... I know it is categorized as a romance but it wasn't so for me...
Pride was awesome, then ep. 8,9 happened... but the ending was very romantic (and sweet, with all friends there with them)
5-9 not romantic at all, in my opinion... Neither RMPW (I kinda hated them both) I would love to watch Algernon but Yamapi is almost a NO in my list :S I'll change my mind eventually I think...
My favorite of your list is ItaKiss.. so sweet and romantic! I am saving S2 for later... I don't want to say goodbye ^_^
I want to watch Ashi Girl, but the subs are not completed yet. Good Morning Call is definitely on my list.

Thanks for this list!

I am not into "ikemen" guys but I like your list ^_^ and wow, Nakagawa is THAT young?? He looks older because he looks more mature O_O Good list! I am happy you didn't include Sato and Miura.. nothing against them, but they are always in this kind of list hehe.
