I'm not saying ishibashi is better than honami. Im sure honami will nail this version of Rika too, just watch kono yo no hate. Its just that this Rika is a lot more real to me, similar with the manga. Rika in the manga is the best Rika by the way and it's not even close. I'd say the reason why this version is on a paid platform is because ishibashi's Rika is not 100 percent likable like honami's, but the manga version is not TV friendly at all. If they choose to adapt the manga version 1/1 in the future, that actress would have the role of the lifetime.

I agree with ishii though and even kentaro and riho are better actors than 1991 version. Oda yuji was given much credit for his role but remove honami and yuji sakamoto I bet it wont be a timeless classic like we know. Honami literally carried that show.

But since we are comparing

Read the manga it's a masterpiece.

Japan is really good at this type of movies. The feels would be similar with Woodjob! and it also looks it's more serious.

I haven't watched that much asadora, I didn't know Motokaria starred in one. I might watch asadora again for Kaya, but I don't know if it will get subbed. I think her fanbase is not as big as other popular japanese actresses.

Really? Though I may still love it if at least the characters are as charismatic as those in Mozu, even tabe mikako looks different here. I like her in strong independent roles than cute roles she is known for.

is mori nana not high in your list?

I haven't seen much of her acting where would you place her? This list is in order.

I kinda want to see this movie for tsubamuki satoshi even the great suzuki honami is here.

Kaya kiyohara starring in Asadora is bound to happen it's only a matter of when, but I never expect it would be this soon. BTW is she the youngest to star in Asadora?

I hope it would be as good as the first season of mozu. Same director plus calibre actors. Kinda excited to see ando masanobu in another action movie.

That last scene in episode 10 was powerful. I think I finally understand why 1991 version ended that way. It's much better if you view both dramas as a whole, it's a commentary on tokyo's state during each times. The uncertainty and the resolve which would probably lead to the same conclusion.

It would be a waste if this end up not fully subbed. I mean it was written by yuji sakamoto and his most daring work for that. Plus you have Issei portraying that crazy character.

I know this guy is more of an stage actor but I really wish he keep acting on dramas. He is very good as an actor and very underrated too.

lol no

Trailer is awesome would be a waste if no subs.

Felt ilke an ad and the message is be good and resposible citizen. Bunch of random and trivial events that eventually lead to the death of their son. I had to admit though the ending is a bit anti climactic because the build up seems it would be something epic but at least it's realistic. Great acting as usual from these A List actors especially from Inoue Mao. Where is she nowadays? she should be acting in WOWOW dramas.

8.5/10

Great screen presence and it seems she can act too.

Damn the plot is interesting lol I have prediction where this is going.

This dude has very expressive face lmao.

As much as I hate seeing Kaho so underrated I still wish she just stick to movies with substance and meaning. Sometimes being famous will put you to cheesy mainstream roles especially in Japan which is notorious for making run of the mill live action films.

butthole jokes never gets old lmao!!!
