Great! Thank you!

Maryvel

Hi everyone! I've been to Japan twice already, but always in summer. This february will be my first trip to Tokyo in the cold season. Has anybody here ever been to Tokyo in winter and can tell me what it's like? Is it very cold? I'm worried that I'll have to waste all the space in my suitcase on win...

Is this even true??

Maryvel

But the girl that appeared in the first few episodes, the one that the older vampire always drank from, didn't turn into one herself, right? Or did I miss something?
Or maybe Kuromiyas and Makotos situaton is different...

Maryvel

There's really no way to have a happy ending anymore I think. :cry: From the preview it looks like he will refuse Makoto's blood and he also wouldn't be able to live with himself if he turned her into a vampire, I think. Did I get this right that Makoto will become a vampire if he drinks from her? ...

Maryvel

I'm missing a few episodes from the last 2 weeks here. From other dramas as well. Maybe the uploaders are all on vacation. :P I downloaded episode 8 from another site... Besides, I do think it happens that episode numbers are reduced if the rating is bad. People claim that that was the case for Kami...

Maryvel

Oh no! Wasn't it supposed to be 11 episodes long? They cut it down because of the bad ratings...

Maryvel

Hi everyone! The song you are looking for is called Rêverie and it is indeed a classical piece. It was written by a famous French composer Claude Debussy in1890. If you want to give it a go on a piano, you can find sheet music here: http://www.classical-scores.com/free/debussy-Reverie-idparteng-123...

Maryvel

I really didn't expect this to be one of my favourite dramas this season, but I'm glad I checked it out! It's all sorts of awesome! Mostly just terribly adorable. ;) I'm so fond of this drama that I even made a fanvideo for the first six episodes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQdqbP5QcMo Hope you...

Maryvel

hi there! Does anyone know the title of the piano song that Ruka was playing, apart from "tsubasa o kudasai" ? It's the song that ayumu used to play. Please help, thanks in advance! I'm looking for this song too, it won't leave my head anymore. :roll I can't even figure out if it's an ori...

ACTORS Kimura Takuya (Sora kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi) One of the few dramas that had me still thinking about it days afterward and the one that made me understand why Kimura Takuya is so popular. Takizawa Hideaki (Strawberry on the Shortcake) I should probably say Yoshitsune, but I picked this one...

Maryvel

I loved the fifth episode... Finally there was some developement between the two and Yuma is so cute, now that he's completely in love with her (again?). Walking after her in a trance all the time and then grinning like an idiot just because she held his hand made me actually laugh out loud. :wub: A...

Maryvel

I just watched the first episode on KeyHoleTV and liked it a lot!

It's not as silly as Hana Kimi, but still very funny and Okada Masaki is an incredibly cute Asuka.

Can't wait to see it in better quality!

@maryvel:
nö, bist ned die einzige die das anschaut

lol

Maryvel

Maybe I'm really the only one watching this...

Maryvel

I don't mean to sound impatient, I just wonder... Is this drama not being uploaded anymore? It aired on Tuesday right? :unsure: Just in case the uploaders think there's no demand for it or something I wanted to say that I actually like this show very much and I'm looking forward to the next episode!...

Maryvel

Yesss, new episode today. Can't wait! :lol Too bad it's going to be the last one, I never thought I'd come to like this series so much. :cry: Concerning Shinobu... I guess we're all counting on him somehow, but I doubt that his motives are pure. The only thing I know for certain is that he doesn't w...

Maryvel

It's probably because you're trying so hard to compare Mei-chan to HanaKimi and Hana yori Dango, when they have nothing in common. Except the school setting. So if you don't like Mei-chan, it's ok. Liking HanaKimi doesn't mean that you have to force yourself to watch this now. 8) This series didn't ...

Maryvel

That's how I understood it as well. That Mei realized, that she still has a reason to stay after all (Rihito).

Maryvel

I don't want Mameshiba and Mei to end up together too, but I think he's really entertaining. The way he appears to be totally useless, but managed the "standing at attention for 24 hours" challenge in one go just cracks me up everytime it's mentioned. I wonder if it's because his head is s...

Maryvel

Whatever... If we're only allowed to talk about the above mentioned things, this thread will die in 2 seconds. Don't be so strict. Uniforms! Contrary to everybody else I know, I just adore the police! :wub: I wish they'd stop me more when I'm driving around. :lol http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...

Maryvel

Btw, nomanymore is always very fast in posting a LQ or MQ version of Mei-chan on her blog. I already watched it yesterday.

For those who didn't know: Link

I hope it's ok to post this here. Be sure to thank her!

And we have new candidates for the role of the twins.

Maryvel

They are real twins.

Takagi Manpei as Akabane Ukon
Takagi Shinpei as Akabane Sakon ... according to DramaWiki, but this seems to be pretty much their first appearance in a drama.

Maryvel

Is that true? I'm half-greek and I always wondered why there are no japanese things in greek stores. I saw a few videogame shops here and there, but no manga and hardly any anime.
Are there manga translated into greek now? Where can I find those?

Maryvel

Besides, this "must own a house"-business is a very american thing. Nobody in Austria would want something like that. It's a hassle and too expensive. :roll But anyway. I think deep down in our hearts we all dream of the rich prince who will support us for the rest of our life. :lol But mo...

There are actually a few specific scenes that I want caps from, but the whole episode would be AWESOME!

You are of course correct in that all shows have some sort of moral. Bad guys are bad, good guys always win , this kind of thing. But its the level of preaching involved that differs. And thats where I have a problem. See, a good story should use the characters and their actions and environment to ...

Maryvel

Sora kara furu ichioku no Hoshi
Bara no nai Hanaya

probably made me cry the most.

Maryvel

"Bara no nai Hanaya" was very good recently, but it's a series as well...

As for movies, "Hana Yori Dango Final" of course. And I think "Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai" was really sweet.

"Go" has romance too.

Maryvel

Takeuchi Yuko

Maryvel

Try this site: http://www.aarinfantasy.com/

They have movies, games, anime... Yaoi only.

Lots of direct downloads at the forum, you should find what you're looking for there.

And I'd strongly recommend the series Fujoshi Deka. Which is about a slash-crazy police woman. Great fun.

Maryvel

When I went to Tokyo a few years back, I stayed in this hotel. Very small rooms, but very cheap.

Maryvel

Yay, more scans!

Thank you raven_frost, keep 'em coming!

Maryvel

Okada also didn't have a lot of screen time in this episode.
Personally, I hoped they would focus on his special abilitys more, but since this series will seemingly go on for the next season as well, maybe the development will just be very slow. Wait and see.

Maryvel

Thank you so much for the scans! They will tie me over 'till the next episode comes out.

Maryvel

Group C is the killer group. It's going to be unbelievably tough. :crazy: Austria doesn't stand a chance, but to be honest, there wouldn't have been any group easy enough for us anyway. Greece was lucky once again. Since we have Rehakles as trainer the lucky streak just won't end. We can make it. :lol

Maryvel

LOL Maryvel hope your team can go even more nuts and match or exceed them in the crazy department.... :rambo: .....Well Real Madrid are a big team but then everyone wants to beat the big teams right? Olympiakos need to be focused and ready....BTW do they play Bremen home or away? If at home you've ...

btw, i noticed it's Maryvel's birthday? happy birthday, Maryvel. Oh, thank you so much! You just made me so happy. :wub: I can't believe you're actually the first person to congratulate me. :lol And Werder Bremen went totally nuts yesterday and beat Real Madrid 3:2. That was a surprise to me. We ha...

Maryvel

Yay, we won!

Maryvel

Wow, thank you!

Those scans look so cool.

To bad it's so small...

Maryvel

I have never seen a real gun in my whole life so I have no idea what you're talking about.

But thanks for the magazine scan. Do you maybe have the inside as well?

Maryvel

It hurt to watch that...

Maryvel

Thanks to the goalkeepers. No matter that Crouch knocked one of them out, we have more.

Maryvel

One thing I did not like about this scenario is that they asked for too little $$$. 300M yen is < 3M US dollars. I LOL'ed when this guy said that the govt broke the bank to pony up the $$$. Dr. Evil's <pinky>"One MILLION dollars!"</pinky> came to mind :lol And only 1,8M Euro, I just looke...

Maryvel

I think the most "famous" in the Austrian team might be Emanuel Pogatetz, he plays for Middlesbrough, but our best player and captain is Andreas Ivanschitz, he plays for Panathinaikos and does quite well there. But that's about it. Some of the other players don't even have a contract with ...

Maryvel

Because he's smart enough to take them on one after the other.
And I really love his fighting scenes. I don't know why, but they look very realistic to me.
Much more then american shows. It looks very cool.

Maryvel

Maryvel LOL....lucky for Turkey!!!! can't wait for Euro 08!!!!! Don't worry you never know with football.... I mean look at England!!! out of Euro 08 so Austria could well end up going far! and may prob even finish runners up in world cup qaulifiers yeah England better get revenge or else :cussing:...

Ah, and I watched the drawing for the world cup qualifications on TV. I was happy too when I saw the group greece got into. It's totally manageable. :D But Austria... We won't make it, no matter what. The only one we may be able to beat in that group are the faroe islands. If they have a bad day tha...

Maryvel

I think Turkey may be a good bet. There are like 200.000 Turkish people living in Austria. And I'm sure that a lot of them will come to the stadiums to support their team. It will be like playing at home.

Ah, I can't wait. This is gonna be great fun for sure!

Maryvel

What irritates me most is that the prime minister is always grinning so evilly in the flashbacks. :glare: I wonder how it will all play out...

Spain really impressed me during the world cup in germany. There was even a time in the beginning when I thought they might actually win it, they were that strong. Especially with Torres up front.

Arisa Araki - I find that pretty cute indeed.

Maryvel

I'm sure they lost on purpose too. Because the hosts this time don't stand a chance anyway so they were friendly enough to not make it any harder for us than it already is. :lol And I read in the newspaper today that at least 40.000 English fans are planning to come anyway. That's a good thing. :che...

sahansah I'm so sorry. :cry: I watched the results on teletext all the time during the Austria-Tunesia game and then the wrap-up of the games of the day and I cheered when the score changed to 2:2.

Maryvel

I haven't really thought about it yet to be honest. But somehow I have the feeling like it's going to be neither France nor Italy, but I couldn't explain why.

Although I'm a girl,...

XD - it was an accident... :roll ....anyways Owen is like needed by England without him we doomed, doomed I tell ya DOOMED!!! btw the goalie still injured? Doomed, I get it. :lol And no way is he still injured, it wasn't that bad, but thanks for asking. I think the fact that Greece won the Euro cup...

Yes, I heard that he's not tall enough, but it didn't bother me up untill now.
I didn't realise they were trying to be that realistic and exact.

Maryvel

Finally, I had time to watch it too. :lol I agree, it ended just when it was getting interesting, I couldn't believe it. :cussing: But thanks for the spoiler warning, raven_frost. Thanks to you I stopped watching before the ending song as well. Sorry that the next episode got spoiled for you though....

Maryvel

I don't think England has such a bad team. You have great players, they are just not playing well at the moment...

Of course it was more than enough to beat the Austrian team in that friendly mach last week. Maybe they gained some confidence from that.

Maryvel

Yay, a soccer thread!

I'm Austrian and I'm sooo exited about the Euro next year. Especially since I'm half-greek, so I can cheer for two teams.

Sadly the Austrian team really sucks, but one can still hope, right?

Maryvel

I for one think it's very important to come to terms with your countries past and never forget it. I'm actually waiting for the Japanese to do that too. They will see how it frees them. :lol And I know what I'm talking about, we were the Germans most avid supporters in WW2 after all. :pale: We learn...
