thank you for telling me about this! ^_^
by the way! if there are any other japanese speakers out there who'd like to help with the translating of greenwood, let me know ^_^ we are still looking for extra translators to help out to keep it running quickly! especially if we want to sub the special. specials like that always take more time to translate because of everything that goes on.

sPark* ... I am way loving this series so far!! But... I think honey7all stopped uploading eps (not sure)... If that's the case, maybe you should wait a while before picking it up again (that way, when you do start back on KWG, all the eps might be out! ^o^

I'm still watching too and having a good time with this one. It's one of my feel-good summer comedies to offset the more serious stuff I'm also watching. I think some folks are waiting for the subs rather than watching the raws, so not everyone has even had the chance to watch the first ep in that case.

No worries on the subs. I know they'll be great, and they're worth waiting for.
I like how they're developing all the boys so far. The likeness between Kazuya and Mitsuru came out really well in Ep. 4. And the groundwork being laid for the other guys' backgrounds/families has really been paced nicely for me. While the manga has a totally sketchy timeline, the drama seems to be working hard at making a real chronology and the changes in where they've put some of these stories makes sense to me. Ep 4 was a pretty funny one, and it just had that feel good vibe about it.
Hidden:
Originally I figured episode 4 would introduce Reina, since that story was Reina's intro in the manga, and concentrate on both Kazuya's likeness to Mitsuru and Shun's family. I like the curve they threw by spending some time on Shinobu's family and giving everyone a little development instead. It was a smart move since Shinobu's family is important in the next few episodes that they're doing.
The interactions with Noriko felt right. It's always been one of my favorite dynamics in the books, despite being a fairly minor one overall. I like how they were able to lay out a rather complicated relationship in something like a minute's worth of footage and allude to the core issues in the Tezuka family.
The stuff with the boys trying to beat the heat, and the loose snake, and the ghost story were all funny. I like the touches of Furisawa and Yuuko, who are pretty cute together so far. Fujikake and Watanabe gave me a good LOL too in their very brief appearance.
I think they've captured the atmosphere of the dorm with all the hijinks as well as the relationships between the characters really well. I still have times when I think Sumire isn't quite pretty enough, but that's a minor gripe compared to all the things I'm enjoying.
I loved episode 5 as well. And I'm pretty much on pins and needles waiting for episode 6. I have fun looking forward to this one every week.

Also just watched the first episode.
It was an ok episode, but too me it really seems to be too much aimed at girls.
As being a boy, I would have rather seen more female characters to the main cast.
Probably not going to keep following it.

Well, it is based on a shoujo manga and set in a boy's dorm, so there isn't going to be a huge distribution of females in the cast. There are more females in the series than you see in the first episode though. In six episodes, we have so far...
I'm not sure if Reiko will appear, though I'd love to see her. Miya should appear towards the end, and bring some more females with her storyline. Can't guarantee it, but it looks likely that they'll progress through the entire story with the latest developments.
Hidden:
I mean, they've foreshadowed Mitsuru's delinquent Junior High life... which connects to Miya. Plus, they seem to be resolving more of Kazuya and Hiro's problems with episode 7. That should leave Christmas break open for the Miya arc instead of having to devote it entirely to Kazuya finally going home for a visit.
But you never know what they might have planned.

The only group I know of doing softsubs on Greenwood is C.H.L.O.E. Project. You have to join their LJ community to see the sub links:

Even downloading both versions, 2 episodes of Greenwood take up less space than one episode of any other series that I'm watching this season. Otherwise I'd normally erase the raw when the hardsub comes out.
I restarted my episode 2 task, so hopefully it can help.

The manga version is lovely too. In fact, this drama follows it pretty darned closely when you get down to it. Some things have different orders, and some crazy adventures wouldn't fit. (There are tons of them afterall!) But it's really easy to follow the series just from knowing the manga, and it seems like there are lots of references in the series that are aimed at manga readers and anime watchers. They seem to put lots of thought into the details in lots of ways here though.
Episode 8 turned out pretty cute. Great character development for Hasukawa, so we can see how much he's grown after his first year at Greenwood... and how much he's stayed the same too. And it left off at a point I'm extremely excited about.
Hidden:
Hooray, for the introduction of Miya! It looks like they're giving themselves plenty of time so nothing has to be rushed. She's sure got the attitude down.
Doremii has the hardsub for episode 2 available, btw. I'm watching it now.
