First thing is I think you are talking about episode 3. Some of your comments I wouldn't have ever thought of myself. I do agree that these topics that they touch on are what some students experience everyday. Heck in the U.S. teen pregnancy is at an alarming rate. I've never been to Japan so I wouldn't know. But one thing I hope for is that this Jdorama breaks the barrier between these topics and the public.





What is a live action anime?

Hidden:

I guess Hitomi is very similar to Kazu. I never noticed that.

[/spoiler]


well I kinda made up live action anime... but I meant its like they are in an anime, but acting with real characters, like a play. What I meant was, these real people do things that charaters in an anime would do. Like mai-chan... she is the greatest example. Like her and her appearing from no where, or her eating habits, or her weird obbsession with disney (disney baka, lol).

And all of japan's problems are swept under the rug, they like to act like nothing is wrong. Well the older people do. So they have a lot of teen pregnancies and marriages because of babies, but they don't talk about it. Talking about the nation's problems is rude in japan. So like the suicide they will talk about next episode, its not something japan talks about a lot, if you want to see another side of the suicide, please look at this drama Watashitachi no Kyokasho (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Watashitachi_no_Kyokasho). It talks about bullying in school and suicide...

To be honest I think almost every coutry sweep Teen Pregnancy under the rug. In Canada, it almost seems "mocked" in the media. An example is Jamie Lynn Spears recent pregnancy. Where a 16,17 year old got pregnant. In the media I believe she was mocked becuase though they accepted it, everyone seemed a little weirded out by it.

Watashitachi no Kyokasho seems like a good drama if it's downloadable I'll probably check it out.

Forgot to tell you, the principle in gakko ja is a lawyer in watashitachi, which is where I think the "cool lawyer" joke came from in ep.3. He was the fiance of miho kanno (who also was a lawyer and a major ****, I hated her ass in that role... but she was cute).

Just incase you can not download it, you can watch it here.

It's just 12 gigs of downloading...lol

I remember the Principal also playing the role of a lawyer in another special that's where I thought you were talking about. It had Horikita Maki....that's why I watched it.

Does anyone know what happens at the end of episode 4?

@Wongo:

I actually skimmed through the 4rth episode and during the end:

Hidden:

|The annoying girl from the student council (I forget her name) comes and says she wants to join the University Preparation Club (you know, it's how they have disguised the Social Dance Club to appear to outsiders). It's very interesting to see how they are going to escape her!



Haha! It has proven to be my favorite drama this season (and I'm watching 12 mind you!) and to think I was going to overlook it! I'm glad I didn't!

I don't know about you I thought looking at the preview of the dramawiki I was intrigued so I downloaded it and I'm glad I didn't overlook it either.

I would be watching as much as you if I didn't have a download limit....

Hidden:

I really don't like at girl.

Well this episode was great, I am so convinced that this will be the most under-ratted drama this year. Its so entertaing and to americans like me the social commentary on japanese society is great.

I want to say that more people should be in this discussion thread, but I know they won't come... oh well. I think for such an epic drama with excellent new stars , (which I will be following after this drama) this will be too short of a series.

Kyoko (mai-chan), who is not in it as much as I thought she would be, is trying to take over the world with her love conquers all speeches. She is more of a guardian angel looking over the kids. Its interesting. Plus the principal, who I really wanted to see in this drama, is not in it much either. The big name guys are only in the background while the new kids get to do all the acting. They are all cute, its awesome to see them. track girl's smile is to die for....


So I wonder how others felt about this episode. I thought it was quite nice, and is showing how solid the couples are becoming. At first I only liked 2 girls, but now I like them all. I want to be all of their boyfriends. Their characters are very cute. track girl was the biggest mystery, but she seems to have worked this out now. Looks like we have 2 more episodes before we can get to the real story of the show. Right now they are setting up the couples, but I wonder what the "real" story will be about.

Spoiler for maho's smile
Hidden:

yabai egao....kawaiiiii
Her face is not symetrical, its weird. Her imperfections make her really cute, imo. She is sexy like shiina ringo is sexy (another asymetrical lady). But I liked sad trach girl, but she is is just as good happy.



Well just like last time, I'll post here as I watch, my thoughts.


Hidden:

Is that internet porn king's sister doing that to her parents? I would slap her in her damn mouth... No way I'd let my sister hit my parents....

Well that butterfly was very pretty in the beginning.

masturbater is sooooo cute when he was emailing his girl! Man... its too kawaii. (I mean that in the most manly way possible...)

Pon Pon wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

LMFAO wwwwwwwww ohime-sama ka? Oh man hair flip boy is sooo funny. Trying to be manly, but at germ girl's becon and call, lol. I could never do the stuff he is doing though...

Genki-kun is so simple he is just like me, he relates everything to women and sex, lol. "I understand your feelings, everyone else is flirting so you want to kill them", lol man that guy...

eiri...lovewillb4 says she is one perverted girl, can we import her here... I'm all for that brother. Her "frankness" is making her raise on my list, I don't think she'll be able to know hitomi off her #1 spot, but she is certainly getting there. She is really funny and seems like a party girl, she can chill with me any day! (I didn't like her in the beginning because she acted stuck-up and too good, but now, I'm really liking her personality)

KAWAII mai-chan. When she was asking kazu and hitomi to get the others back, kawaiii naaaa....WTF kazu is buchou???? where did that come from?

Mai-chan's ninja vanish is superb, lol

Whoa track coach guy, he seems like a real creep. I bet track girl was forced to quit because she wouldn't let him have sex with her, or something like that...

Wow, I thought track girl was the one doing the writing on the way, but when I saw it was her, I was still blown away... 2 people who both want to die... kawaii and kawaiisou I never thought they were a better couple till I saw them meet eyes on the rooftop. I thought to myself, this is what love is, two people who can understand each other


Track girl is reaaally cute without the uniform, wow she is a looker. She has a great shape....

What is interesting about track girl is that she is asking internet porn king to kill her, but she does not want to kill herself. I think she is afraid of dying and afraid of living. Track girl is just standing on top of the bridge, if she was confindent i her choice to die, she would not need internet porn king to push her off and she would jump herself.

Aww I thought his was going to hug her from the back and say something cool like, if you leave, who will recieve my love. Oh well

Principal is so cool. I love him, he should be in the drama more I mean a bigger role. He is too awesome, when I grow up I wanna be just like him. and mai-chan is too kawaii. I love you kyoko...

lol the G.I.joe battle moventments after getting the paint... man this series is priceless!

THIS is the most awesome show I ever watched!!!!!!!the paint pouring, the cheesy thumbs up... I really really love this show.

Kawaii kaho giving him the drink after his work with her shy, otsukaresama, kawaii


But too bad they are just kids and don't know what to do. track girl needed a big hug and a heart felt I love you from internet porn king.... He he would of held her in his arms... it would of been just as good, and more romantic, imo.

megane wwwwwwwwww I think that the comedy couple (eiri and genki-kun) was so great with the glasses on. I wonder what they will say to seitokaochou about her joining the club. Thats a plot twist. Uhm... I think it could be because of 1 of two reasons. 1. She wants to spy on the SDC to catch them doing something bad or 2. She wanted to get a boyfriend like the rest of the members.

Birthday circle choked me up a bit, so cut, I'm smiling right now.

Are you serious? I thought episode 4 was top notch, it gets better. I'm downloading the raw now. Why don't you tell your thoughts about this series more lovewill? We could use more discussion here....

I think Eiri is the best actor/actress of the 10 kids. She does her part very well but she isn't the main couple so she gets to do the annoying support role. Between Kazuki and Hitomi, I think Hitomi is the better actor/actress. I can finally typecast Hitomi after episode 5 ^_^

The best parts are the cute/weird/strange interactions between the couples. They don't have much of those during episodes 1-3 but 4-5 they have a lot more.

And omg they started learning some dance moves... well, fake learning.

If you want my opinion on someone, a certain part of the episode, or anything in general, you can ask me and i'll reply. I just feel that most parts are obvious and it doesn't have an established fan base like code blue to have people just post for no reason at all. It's a teenage love/lust comedy with 10 extreme personalities. What more is there to say?

As for Shingyouji, and yes this is an episode 5 spoiler... Don't read until you watched episode 5.
Hidden:


She is **** and I don't like her that much but since she tried to kiss Hitomi, she gets a thumbs up ^_^ I think she got what she deserved. Don't be mean to my Hitomi.

Also, Hitomi's situation reminds me of Yamada Taro's... it's a decent drama if you never saw it before.

Wowsers, episode 5 was too awesome.

eiri was really really pretty in those last couple of scenes, I even thought for a moment, just a split second... that she was my favorite girl.

The weird interactions between the characters? It was awkward teenage love, lol. I think that this show does a great job showing how awkward teenagers are. the kisses... the flipping kisses. So funny. Its funny how no one kissed but the comedy couple. henna couple was so cute when they were trying to kiss. Man weird girl is hella cute.

And hitomi and kazu are the unrequited love couple. Both love someone who (as of now) can not love them back." I want my first kiss to be from the person I love" both of them said that, and both of them broke someone's heart saying it... too bad those two can't love each other....

Man, the episode ending in a love hotel, thats spicy. Damn genki-kun talks too much, almost got them in trouble, eiri is so funny, she slapped the dog piss out of him. eiri in the shower genki-kun looking in his boxers... In real life, I know exactly what happens next... but its gakko ja, something crazy will happen. The other 8 kids are in the hottub water up to their eyes, mai-chan in that thong spining and singing "I will give you gatsby"

Now that you mention it, it is like Yamada Taro's but the only problem is that she seems to be the only on with 3 kids, instead of 1 main parent and...was it like 8 kids. Not to mention the 8 kids weren't trouble makers. Like that one kid that Hitomi has that gets in fights. If I'm not mistaken.

I do believe that Hitomi is a better actress than Kizuki....I'm starting to get annoyed by his studdering........

my first post in this thread.

I also found out that this dorama is entertaining and fresh. It's like reading salad days or other shoujo manga. And I also agree, Eiri's acting is very good, especially in the 6th episode. Kyoko Fukada character is almost the same with her other characters in other drama, the all cutie nice kind naive girl. Tanihara sousuke... hmm.... They seems tried to developed kyoko - tanihara relations/story, but up until now, I still didn't get the chemistry. The students chemistry, on the contrary, is very cute ^^ I really like tomu and eiri couple. Yay for them ^^

Welcome to the thread, I hope you post more!

Uhm well as far as the principal/mai-chan chemisrty, I watched that episode a while ago, but I believe the principal said for a long time he's had problem being around women (which is ironic because he is at an all girl school). Mai-chan's charater is the physical manifestion of the phrase "love conquers all". She is motivated by love. Uhm it seems that she is helping everyone become love dovey. Her selection for students in the club were perfect. They all fit together... it looks like she knew it before anyone else (she said if anyone disagreed on the couples she would close the group...). Well I believe mai-chan herself is the love component for the principal. Mai-chan obviously will seduce the principal. In the last episode, when she was looking for her pin on the ground, you could feel it then, love love kira kira power! I think the principal's journey will be letting his emotions flow into mai-chan. She is single and is lonely (as seen in the first episode) Its a perfect couple. An anime character and a lifeless fish feeding robot, kawaii deshou?
