Yes, Sekai Chuusin is indeed heavy and sobering. Love what young Yuusha did in the show, one of his better projects at his youth. However, your comment makes me craving to rewatch this amazing drama, it's been many years since I first encountered it back when I was in college.

I guess you find Ore Ore too confusing and eccentric (and it was super wacky), anyway have you watched Satoshi Miki's works prior to Ore Ore? If so, we can easily relate them each other because he has unique sense of comedy and not everyone can grasp his way of thinking. Along with Takashi Miike and Kudo Kankuro, he is one of the most unique director-scriptwriter in Japan today IMHO.

Thank you for the request! Anyway, are you Japanese? If it's so, then you're a rare one in MDL!

Can't hardly believe it was going darker halfway, perhaps one of the weirdest Satoshi Miki's works after Atami no Sousakan. Kamenashi's acting is a surprise, a big step up compared to his previous showcases

Thank you for accepting the request!

I won't say characters express their feelings by telling all the time instead being shown visually (such as nonverbal play and slightly more intricate dialogue) is realistic. I bet you'd hardly find someone spitting everything inside his/her mind like what happen in this drama (especially Tezuka and Oda), moreover it's Japan where verbal communication is not as abundant as other cultures.

I agree with you, the seniors are very-well portrayed, it's like coming out of the reality. Perhaps one last thing intrigued me is a relatively young pilot like Kunikida does pilot-in-command role instead of First Officer on a widebody aircraft. It's a rarity in real life AFAIK

ada si Silper, connie (falconnie), deim juga selain om anggers :)
masih pada dikit gara2 pada takut ngobrol sama para gaijin wkwkwkwkw

Mungkin foundernya sama, tapi koq nggak terintegrasi yah

waw ada sis Occho :matabelo:

Hey,you've just completed Saito-san 2. What's your thought about it? I guess you master Japanese, aren't you? The subs are on episode 6 and have been released in snail pace (but another subber has retaken it)

Kaho doesn't play in this drama. Someone please edit the cast list

I'd like to see your choice :)

Nice!!! Jejejeh!!!

I envy you, wish I could learn more Japanese :(. Kei Tanaka and the others look too old to play middle school kids but I find it very funny LOL

Thank you for the request! BTW you are starting to watch Amachan, aren't you?

Based on the comments on you profile, you are fluent in Japanese, aren't you? I heard you're watching No Con Kid, what's your thought about it? I keen to watch this drama, the 1st episode is hilarious, but so far has no English subs

Hahaha...it's indeed so addictive, but too bad at the time I watch it I was so busy back then, watch it only between the tasks. Jejejeh!!!

Perhaps Moteki? They share the same directing style

OMG you already finished Amachan? How come you that so fast?

Yes you're right, I'm doing fine :). J-Drama scene experiences a quality decline indeed in the last 8 years or so, I blame it to dismal regeneration of scriptwriters and blatant use of idols and overpushed the so-called "actors". You might easily find dramas that are badly written and defy logic while it should be handled in more proper and logical way. However hidden gems do exist and that's what I'm looking for.

Is it French miniseries that bad? I don't know about it but in my opinion it is pretty obscure and not internationally known

Haven't watched Suzuki Sensei the movie, I wonder why the English subtitles never comes up. Based from a colleague who masters Japanese, it's pretty good but I won't believe before seeing it.
