I LOVE Yangoto!!! It is so much more entertaining than I initially expected! For those who are still planning to watch this - it's something that may remind you of old dramas with its tropes, and there are illogical lines/too dramatic arcs but it's highly entertaining, and if you want to watch something fun without taking things too seriously then this is it!
Matsumoto Wakana's one of the highlights here with her funny overacting (I love to hate her Mihoko lmao), and Tao brings Sato to life with such gravitas, embodying her strength and humanity so well that I can't imagine anyone else playing her.
I find Chiba Yudai to be charismatic in his role as Takara. He plays the normal Takara well (who kind of reminds of his Maki in Avalanche), but switches smoothly to Jacques (E01) and Izumi (E02), especially Izumi. Nagayama Kento's steady presence lends credibility to his role as Yujin, too. Looking forward to E03!!!
Sooooo Alice in Borderland is included in Netflix's Geeked Week lineup on the first day, June 6th. We might get something then - additional cast lineup or main cast interviews - Niji speaks English plusTakahashi Mari, who's part of the host lineup, is fluent in Japanese sooooo we might get Kento and Tao, too! https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1529809621594034177?s=20&t=rb-5bPUgQwgbfIue8531gA
Am I alone in thinking that Tao and Yoshitaka Yuriko look almost the same? I kept on mistaking the two of them.…
You're not alone! Fun fact: Yuriko and Tao actually played as sisters in Yuriko's Hanako to Anne asadora, and they're pretty close so it's a treat to have them play as sisters. Would love to see them reunite again though.
Definitely anticipating seeing Tao back again in AiB! :)
I'm really enjoying the first two episodes so far - the stories are very interesting, and the way they were executed in 15 minutes was fun to watch; you just know that a twist is coming right by the last few minutes. T'was a nice treat so far, definitely looking forward to the future episodes!
(also going to look for a copy of the source material in the meantime)
(I'd be happy if we get to see them by pair - BrightTu, WinPrim and NaniDew - but I'd be happy all the same if we'll have WinPrimNani coz I love this trio! F2 sunshine protectors with the smol sunshine💖)
EPISODE 9: I just finished watching it on livestream. it was INSANE. I'm dead. I repeat, I'M DEAD. This episode…
HNGGGG I'm itching to click on that reveal spoiler box but at the same time I wanted it to be a surprise hahaha.
I just finished E03 earlier - life kept getting in the way so I was so behind my watchlist (sorry I never got to chat with you about Shijukara now😭) - AND DANG THE REVELATIONS AND THAT ENDING!!!🔥
By the last scenes came by I was internally screaming at Rihito he did so well there, Yamaguchi Sayaka too!!! Can't wait to watch the next episodes!
I don't see Kase in that way either towards Rio, I never once thought that he loved Rio romantically. Maybe, I'm…
Just gonna add too haha - can't remember if it was the interview of Producer Arai or the scriptwriters but it was for their award in the 110th TV Drama Academy Awards, but they mentioned that Kase-san's feelings at first hinted at something more (which we can see when he reacted to Kuwako asking if they're lovers), but as time passed, the hint of romance disappeared and took on a more filial love.
The scriptwriters also mentioned that they deeply consulted with Iura Arata for Kase's storyline so rest assured that even Iura Arata himself felt that Kase's love for Rio is that of a family :)
Saw a lot of comments asking when it'll air and yep, December 2022!
Still quite a long ways to go but guys remember that AiB's post production is top notch so the process will really take a long time. Let's be patient coz I'm pretty sure once September rolls around - and September is when promos and teasers first dropped - we won't know peace😂
Hirona, Kurumin, and Dori in one project again.... this is the mini Orange reunion we're waiting for, all that's left is for Kento, Tao, and Ryo to join in!🥺
Also, mini Jinrou game: Beast Side reunion with Kisetsu and Dori!
