Really enjoyed the first episode! It feels like they're trying to respect the source material while adapting it to a drama so far. I liked how they made the first episode double length to really get into the story, and they certainly had the boys acting like delinquents in this.
Shirota Yu is pretty good at playing thuggish roles, imo. Of course being about 6'2" and made of muscle doesn't hurt when you have to actually look intimidating. While Shinjo isn't quite as bat-crap crazy as Maria was in Koshonin, he's close.
Hidden:
I'm glad they didn't whitewash the bathroom scene, but I think I prefer it when they don't do his fight scenes in slow-mo. While you can still tell that he's a big guy who could flatten your face with his fist, it looses a little of the power for me when you don't get to see the speed and the force that conveys. It was still good, and I loved watching the bit with Aniya as well as all the stuff on the roof too.
Does anyone else think that the manga version of Kuwato and Sato Ryuta bear an uncanny resemblance?

First episode was great, but seeing Ichihara Hayato playing a delinquent is so hilarious.
By the way, anyone know the name of the ED song, doesn't seem to be posted up on dramawiki unless I'm blind.
It's really catchy. =)

According to the Japanese wiki the theme song is:
Kiseki [キセキ] by GReeeeN
Definitely explains why it's so catchy!

I just finished the translations. Gomen. I'm working as fast as I can to finish this. I spent a total of 14 hrs today just finishing the translations.
It's off to the rest of the team. Let's hope to see this episode out before the end of the week. We're starting work on Episode 2 too. It's been timed, and starting translations tomorrow.

Thank you! 14 hours? Sugoi!
Please...do not apologize. We are indebted to you for your hard work and translations, so whether the subs can out tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year...we'll be happy that we're getting them.

^ Agreed. We look forward to it no matter how long we have to wait.
It's worth it, this is one series that shouldn't be missed this season. When it comes to teachers and delinquents, it is walking over Gokusen 3 this season (just ignore the ratings of each series for the moment) The plot is much deeper here. Great actors also (some of the Gokusen kids really need to brush up on their skills) I'm in tears a lot from laughing most of the time. Episode 2 being where:
Hidden:
Kawato jumped the fence to chase Wakana. Their faces were PRICELESS.
I regret saying Ichihara Hayato playing a deleinquent is hilarious. He does a really good job in his role.
I feel sorry for Shinjo, though.
Hidden:
My heart went out to him when he was sitting staring at the photo.
Of course, I have no idea what's going on (well, not much) I haven't read the manga, I can't wait for the subs. Really enjoying this series. And it's only been two episodes so far.
Plus, all the eyecandy. x)

ohhh Ichihara Hayato is the guy in chainsaw edge! wow he's hot
this drama is surprisingly good, and definitely alot better than Gokusen 3! i don't really get the vibe about Gokusen 3, although i do watch it too but it's just another rip off from Gokusen 2 that i couldn't believe what i was watching is the same story with different actors only?...
Rookie has a good plot and i feel that it's underrated. good drama overall, will definitely continue!

Rookies is an awesome drama! I've read something like the first 80 chapters online, so between that and my limited Japanese I've been able to enjoy and follow the first two raws pretty well. (Be that much better with the subs to flesh out the dialogue I didn't catch! No need to apologize three-plz! We really owe you for taking out of your own time to do this for everyone. It's a lot of work, and we appreciate it.)
I just can't watch Gokusen without Shin... and it's all just a rehash of the same plots from season 1 anyhow from the reviews. On the other hand, Rookies is totally fresh and the actors are all terrific. Episode 2 was right up there with the first one!
Hidden:
Kuwato chasing Wakana was love! The faces they make are hilarious! I think Yufune's face at going over that railing may have been my favorite though. LOL All so good!
Originally, I wasn't sure how Ichihara fit with Aniya for me visually... and I'd only seen him in Long Love Letter and Onmyouji 2 before this. But he's great in this role. He can handle the physicality and the emotional subtleties equally, so I'm really happy with him. And yes, he does make for great eyecandy!
While reading the manga, one of my first thoughts was, "How the heck am I ever going to warm up to this lot?" But in no time at all you just start to love the bunch of idiots... Or at least I do. So it's a relief that they picked actors who are all a little older and have the chops to do these roles.
About Shinjo:
Hidden:
In the first episode he's the scariest guy of them all for me. The bathroom scene and the roof scene really are powerful when you see him turning on his own friends out of his fear and in his effort to retain control. Then to see him with the photostickers in this episode, you can still feel sorry for him somehow... and you want to see him fix things. They really did a good job at starting to humanize him in such a tiny moment.
Nice to see the ratings went up from episode 1 to episode 2!
