Considering how much we love Juri-chan as Nodame, I don't think any drawing's ever going to compare.

I'm not a fan of anime at all. Even Miyazaki. I just consider Dragon Ball "cartoons I used to watch when I was still a kid."

Has anyone seen the anime version of Nodame? Or read the manga. I'm curious what fans of the manga/anime think of Nodame's portrayal.

lichter002

Does cardboard have any expressions? :scratch: cardboard??! WTH... feel sorry that this theard gets such pitiful comments srsly... I feel sorry for people who get so riled up when someone tries to use hyperbole to be amusing. It's just a show. I also pity your spelling. :cheers: :alcoholic: :goggle...

Dragon Ball.

It almost looked like she was going to go Super Saiyan mode during that scene.

I only watched this show for Juri-chan. I think most of the people will agree that she's the only good reason to watch this show.

lichter002

When I was studying in Japan, a supermarket near my apartment had a similar sale during Sunday afternoons/early evenings. That scene made me remember all those times scrambling to get as much unagi as my wallet could afford. :lol I enjoy seeing Juri-chan go to places I've been or do things in her sh...

Juri should be up for best supporting actress then. Something interesting about deciding on the winners. There are 3 voting categories, readers, judges and critics/reporters. I think the overall winner is based on percentages from these 3 group's vote. An example: Best actress: Ueno Juri for Nodame...

I giggled so much when she started squirming and saying "hazukashi" in Kagayaku Onna. She says it THE EXACT SAME WAY. Alex Shearer is one lucky ass dude.

lichter002

Yes, exactly. Meow!

I'm guessing it was her Neko-powers. Meow.

Yay for Juri-chan! Definitely worthy of the award.

is "welcome to the Quiet room a good watch? i hear "all about lily chouchou" is a very melancholic film.... I've seen hana and alice and hula girls, those are a good watch! i would recommend it to anybody who's an Aoi Yu fan. btw... have you guys seen Ao to Shiro de Mizuiro, its a fi...

YES.

Anything with Uchi is worth watching. In all seriousness though, I really like Osen. It's funny, thoughtful, and cute.

I've no idea who he is though.

I'd only watch it for Yu.

lichter002

Nah. Just showing that she was wearing the charm was enough... The rest was left to the imagination of the viewer. :) I'm sure everyone who saw the charm had a big smile and said, "Ah, he DID give it to her..." :) Considering how Chiaki seems so awkward in being affectionate to Nodame-cha...

lichter002

Is this show worth watching? I've seen a bunch of Aoi Yu's movies (Hula Girls, Gaichu, Welcome to the Quiet Room, Niji no megami, All About Lily ChouChou, Hana and Alice, and Turtles Swim Faster than Expected), and she's only second to Juri-chan in my book. I've never seen any of her doramas though,...

lichter002

Chiaki looks eerily like an uncle of mine. Does your Aunt look like Nodame? :mrgreen: I was going to say "Ha! I wish!" but that would have been creepy. :| Juri-chan's face isn't actually that unique or different, but I guess that's what makes how we adore her so much so spectacular. :D Ta...

Masami needs to take more challenging/different roles. I loved her in "Crying Out Love..." but I'm tired of seeing her in these types of roles. Right now, Juri-chan >>> Masami, until she shows more versatility at least. This cannot be argued. Only Aoi Yu approaches or equals Juri-chan in t...

lichter002

Juri-chan should just get billed as the leading actor since technically Ruka was the leading man in LF. Sort of.

lichter002

Eita looks pretty cool here, but he's such a sissyboy in LF.

last friends is also the first drama that made me interest with juri. and started to look for another drama or movie with her on it.

You should check out everything she's done; you won't be disappointed.

lichter002

I only started watching doramas for Juri-chan after seeing and loving a couple of her movies. Fell in love with her and began hunting down all her shows.

The only really good reason to watch Last Friends, right bmwracer?

lichter002

This would be a pretty lame board if voicing one's opinion in a non-vulgar, barely offensive (for fan girls), somewhat civil way deserved a message deletion or warning.

lichter002

Took me two days to watch every episode along with the specials my first time.

I wonder if anyone was able to watch it in a one day marathon.

lichter002

A contradiction indeed.

lichter002

Too lazy to think of all the instances, but the writers didn't create Sousuke to be hated, as I mentioned earlier. If that was their purpose, he did a great job then. Which I also mentioned earlier. :| Sympathy scenes: Playing with the mommy-less kid Saving the kid from the train The last letter thi...

The way the writers kept on plugging in "sympathy scenes" for Ryo obviously showed that they wanted to paint him as a scarred, scared, and pitiable character. They didn't want him to be a literal bad guy, just someone misunderstood and unable to love properly I suppose. However, all he was...

lichter002

I'm sure the both of us will agree that any step closer to Juri-chan is a step worth taking.

lichter002

Already had my friend go but the cups for me.

Juri-chan should get the best actress nod. I didn't think Masami did a good job at all. Or Ryo--all he had to do was look creepy, which is actually quite natural to his face. I don't think Eita was given enough to earn a nomination though.

lichter002

Since I live closer, and visit Japan once in a while, I'm sure I've got a better chance than bmwracer.

lichter002

Juri even said that it's hard for her not to be influenced by how she feels in real life so if she really felt that badly, it would affect her acting. I don't see any of that in the show(she was awesome up till the end) or the interviews and other appearances. Well, that bonk on Sousuke's head with...

lichter002

WTF THIS MAKES ME ANGRY They should have killed him off sooner and focused on Ruka more. Juri-chan has every right to be angry at everyone. :cussing: Juri-chan was the only (okay maybe Eita too) reason the show was worth watching. To find out they changed the story to feature more of that wretch Sou...

Finally decided to watch the SP (while waiting for euro2008 final to start). Man, that was pointless. All I really wanted was more Juri-chan.

lichter002

I guess this SP was to appease his fangirls So was the first part of Episode 11. This drama has degenerated to this... :thumbdown: I only started watching this drama because Juri-chan was in it, so I really didn't care that much about the quality of the show (I enjoyed it though). But since she doe...

only summary of the drama or rather the summary of sousuke haha
sousuke much and almost nothing new

although I admit I saw the full SP only to see Ryo nishikido

I guess this SP was to appease his fangirls then, after an entire season of making everyone hate him.
