Actually this one will be quite difficult to sub because of all the shougi games that they will have in it. That may be one of the reasons why no one is planning to sub this, plus the fact that the cast isn't particularly famous or anything. Though perhaps when it airs someone might like it enough t...

I actually was not looking forward to it until i saw waratte iitomo. The cast was so vibrant and somehow it reminds me of the vibe that the nodame cast had. I am really interested in watching it as it is also a manga adaption that seems really interesting. I expect to see passable acting that is off...

I think Maki would make a horrible eun chan. She is perfect for Mizuki because Mizuki was very much a feminine girl and Maki is very like Mizuki in looks and in character. But Eun Chan is a complete tomboy and i can't imagine maki in that. I don't think Maki could pull it off. Besides, she's too pre...

I did check out Bara. I watched three episodes before i decided whilst it was not bad, it wasn't that great either. The main thing i have against Bara is that the story feels like its trying to hard to be mysterious and dramatic. I know Koshonin also has moments like this, but i forgive it because i...

Yeah, the stupid stuff was blended in really really well. But the best part in my opinion was
when the guy dressed as a lady did his suicidal 'attack' on his audience so that they swarmed up to block the people chasing after anmitsu. that was great.
