I don't what is it but there is something about Yuu's character and his way of acting in here that is annoys me.


Maybe this is exactly the author's intention. Wink

And at the end of episode 1 Samurai!Kotaro was kinda scolding him for being such a coward and always running away instead of fighting so I'm very sure his character is going to develope soon. Big Smile


Btw does someone know why there is still no 3rd episode in RAW uploaded?
Or does someone know if the episode is uploaded somewhere else already?

ah, I watched it on veoh

and yes, I also think this is the authorīs or directorīs intention. I liked his character in eps. 3. And because Shirota Yu always played the bad guy in various doramas, he needs maybe just a bit of warming up so that he can act the exact opposite too x3;;?

But I have to say, that the story is slowling down a bit imo, for the first eps. it was very interesting, the second eps. nya, the third a bit better than the second... I hope they are going tol add more samurai-action in it ;__;. <33 love samurai kotaro.

miura just barely can convince you but not shirota yuu.


Reminds me of what Shirota Yuu wrote in his blog when he was first cast... LOL. From: http://community.livejournal.com/yuu_shirota/210235.html

Shirota to appear in Samurai High School

Shirota announced in his blog that he will appear as a high school student in fall drama Samurai Highschool:

"You who just thought 'Eh??? You shouldn't appear as a high school student anymore'
I'm going to do my best so please let it pass. m(__)m (laugh)"

He goes on to say it's the first time he's playing the role of someone bullied and he thought he had little hopes of this.

Personally I find him funny as heck! That scene when he was sitting on the riverbank at the end of Ep. 1, I just wanted to eat him up he was so kewt. LOL....

Yuu really shocked me. Never expected to see him play the timid guy role, but he does it well. pinch

First episode was really excellent and I'm looking forward to the next one. pinch Miura is a gem, able to transform so well into a samurai...you'd almost think it's someone else. lol.

Thank you so much!!!! Not Worthy

And yeah I just hope they'll find the right balance for the two Kotaros like one episode more of samurai and one more of high school kid cause I think that both are really awesome and funny. xD

Going to watch 1st ep with subs now!!! Beating heart

Hooray for a thread! Loved the first episode. Both Miura and Yuu's characters annoyed me at first, but I started getting used to them by the end of the episode. I hope Yuu's character develops, because I'm really not fond of the EXTRA timid type roles.

Love Miura's samurai portrayal - I think he's doing an excellent job with it. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds Shirota Yuu damned annoying in his current role.

However, the fact that Watanabe Anne is in there more than makes up for it. I end up staring at her whenever she appears...... awesome zettai ryouiki too!

Shirota Yu plays like a Broom and i agree with Issy. He is not fitted for this character.

The male sidekick has an annoying big role in the 2nd episode. It doesn't seem he will change very fast. So for the next episodes i expect him to be still as timid and annoynig as ever. I do hope like all good looking hollywood actors acting a shy person. He will transform into a glorious warrior. Or just die, i don't care as long as he drops that wussy voice. Tongue

2nd episode wasn't that strong. It felt short as well. Nothing really happened story wise.
There was a cavalry race, he was put in a situation where he would throw the fight, he and the inner samarai didn't.

I hope there will be more overarching plots instead of this sappy episodic stuff. Otherwise i could be a scriptwriter... hmm lets see
Samurai in the amusement parks. Proud samurai gets scared in rollercoaster and attacks local mouse mascot.
Samurai and the classfriend in trouble. Class mate gets in trouble with local hooligans for owing money, they end up in a abandoned hangar and fight it out. Samurai wins.
Samurai and the briefcase full of money. Samurai finds a suitcase full of money. Normal self is in doubt but in the end wants to do the right thing. Mafia who the briefcase belongs to, find him. Transformation into samurai. They end up in a abandoned factory and fight it out. Samurai wins. Gives money to local orphanage.

I'm watching this mostly for Miura. I mean it's like two different people, it's amazing. Of course i can't get enough of samurai Kotarou.

I wonder if Miura knows any kendo? His movements look so graceful.
