"It looks like it's a tie with the original art! Kubota and Manga version of Light are both equally beautiful."

I like you. ;)

My "good" ratings start at 5. I like a lot of my 5s more than I liked some of my 7s...

We all have different rating systems. What's the problem?

I'd like to see another one. It doesn't show "everyday" autism, and the savantism is still somewhat fetishised and "put to use", but it does show an autistic character surrounded by loving and supportive people. I appreciate that.

I couldn't think of a better way to say that you don't need to tell me autistic people have feelings. ;) Didn't mean to imply you were out of line or anything; you certainly were not. :)

Gyeo Wool drinks red wine for breakfast. :D She's badass and snarky, but she's sensitive too. She's my soulmate. :P

I'm autistic, so there's no need to preach to the converted. :P

The problem I had here is, I couldn't see the "love" between Ataru and Madoka. And that's because 1. Madoka was a badly-written character, and 2. Maki is a shit actress. For me, Larry represented a familiarity and constant for Ataru that he couldn't find in anyone else. For better or worse.

It was a disappointing end to a fair series. I still wish I hadn't watched it, tbh.

Your posts and review have persuaded me to watch. :)

Lol, poor Yoko again. :P

@murnau

I like this comment. He does have a dumb smile. It doesn't even reach his vacant eyes. :P

How to describe something like this so others will consider watching it...

The Book of Genesis rewritten by an otaku pervert who specialises in magical girl anime and has a fetish for lesbian torture porn.

In a good way.

I don't know what other people saw for it to get all those 10s...

I love all of the J-drama fans this article has brought out to comment. <3

IS is always the first drama to come to (my) mind when it comes to this topic... Only a Japanese screenwriter would tackle a topic like that.

1. I don't watch K-dramas because the actors aren't as ugly as Japanese actors. :(

5. Personally I don't need escapism, and Japanese dramas are especially good at highlighting societal issues. Can't say the same about K-drama.

6. Japan doesn't shove romance where it isn't needed.

7. Janiwota represent! Some idols are good actors, but sometimes "idol dramas", with the fanservice and bad acting, are good for what they are. I'm not an AKB48 fan but Mendol is one of my favourite dramas. The personality and cuteness of the girls really shone through the comedy. Put a bunch of "real" actresses in those roles and it would lose most of its charm. And classic dramas like Nobuta would lose a lot without the idol power of the leads. I know everyone complained about NTV's Johnny's Jr. slot, but it produced two great Nojima Shinji dramas, plus some good crack like Heisei Busaiku Salaryman.

I'm not in North or South America, but I can see some embeds for certain dramas. Only Chinese dramas for some reason. xD

Redheads are gorgeous. Love yourself! <3

The guys at No.1 look like twins...

There was a time when Yamapi looked exactly like Jae Joong.

20kg in 40 days is not healthy. Fk the Korean ent business.

Your 5... I understand.

J-actor example: I think Kagawa Teruyuki is friggin adorable but my mother says he must've ran face-first into an alligator's mouth.
