I was watching it on TBS via Keyhole TV, a streaming application. I think there's a thread on d-addicts about it if you search the forums. Hopefully someone will post a raw though.

Well, I just finished watching the first episode of the new season and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. Every other season had flashbacks to the previous seasons in the first episode, but not this one. I was counting on that to kind of give me a little bit of a clue as to what happened in th...

awrittensin

Heh. Do you really wanna know what happened to Kurahara and Muto? Kurahara: Because the inn they were filming at was shut down so they could no longer film there (or at least that's what i've read on the internet) Women of the Onsen 4 mainly took place at Muto's mother's inn. Kaoru leaves Kurahara f...

Hi everyone! Onsen he GO!! starts tonight~! I'm really excited. The official website is now up:

http://www.tbs.co.jp/ainogekijyo/onsengo/

I hope everyone will be watching and I'll comment as soon as the episode is over with my thoughts!

awrittensin

Woops, I meant that seasons 4 and 5 each had 55 episodes, 55 minutes. I changed it Well here are the ep #s for the other seasons: Season 1: 65 eps Season 2: 60 eps Season 3: 54 eps all about 22 minutes each without commercials. So seasons 4 and 5 follow that pattern. This new season starts Sept. 1 ...

Thanks for the update, I was just going to search for new information yesterday. Big Smile But the site has no pictures yet, how disappointing. She's not working at Kurahara? How can that be?!

They put up a website for the new season of Onsen he ikou - (actually it's renamed Onsen he GO!) http://www.tbs.co.jp/program/ainogekijyo_onsengo.html It will be on Monday-Friday starting September 1st at 1pm.

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I finally got around to watching Last Friends, so here's my (kind of lengthy) review. It's pretty opinionated and I know some of them aren't the most popular opinions (after reading some other posts on the forum) so I just wanted to throw my two cents ...

awrittensin

There's no official website yet since it's so early, but it was listed on the ai no gekijou Japanese wikipedia page, and I found a few other mentions of it when I googled it. The only information available is that Kato Takako is reprising her role as Kaoru, but other characters might possibly be all...

I noticed there wasn't a topic for this drama, so I started one. I'm a huge fan of the Onsen e ikou series, but unfortunately like everyone else except groink , I haven't been lucky enough to find copies of seasons 4 and 5. I did my usual searching of any info for it on the internet today when I saw...

Has NHK ever been on this channel list in any incarnation? I'm itching to find a streaming version of it.

I also wish future updates would include a vcr type program with a timer, because all the good shows are on at like 4 and 5 am! sooo frustrating.

I fail to see why see has to drop out of school! … no one should ever be deprived of their right to education. Nor should her school of classmates take away that right from her. It saddens me from the preview of ep5 that she made that decision For to me, education is the only hope she has left goin...

3) If she was mature, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place. She was surprised that she got pregnant....that's mature?

I keep waiting for someone to say the line that's in every drama involving children or babies - 「あたしの赤ちゃんは何の罪もない…だから産みたいの」 and I think that's true - it's not the baby's fault that it would be conceived by a 14 year old - it hasn't committed any sin so why should it be punished by taking its life awa...

awrittensin

I'd appreciate if you will use spoiler tags when you quote the actual contents of the drama. Some of us who don't speak Japanese need to wait for the subs before watching, and don't want the contents disclosed before then. I said at the beginning of the post that I had comments about episode 4 - if...

awrittensin, I find some parts of what u said contradicting, like pregnancy and abortion. If u have 100 girls who got pregnant, it they all got abortions, doesn't mean that there's no pregnancy, cuz pregnancy is still 100 regardless. I never said there was no pregnancy. The original poster I quoted...

awrittensin

Japan has the world's lowest rate of teenage pregnancy births (even thought I assume it's a consequence of their low rate of births per se). Which means, if this was going to happen, Japan is the latest place on the Earth where it would. Not that I'm saying it doesn't happen there too, but the situ...

Just wanted to let you all know the reason I haven't uploaded anymore drama since I finished Souri is because I've been ill for the past week or so - and I will also be out of town starting tomorrow and will return on August 7th.

Sorry for the small delay, but I've uploaded the batch torrent for Souri to yobanaide! It's hard-subbed by NGN so I hope you guys will enjoy it.

I wasn't going to post here until watching the last episode, and it seems that everyone is bothered or confused by the same line as I was (Rika not being able to love her daughter).

Warning: Ending spoiler below!

OK, I'll totally come out and say this...

The health on Hanayome wa 16-sai looks great, so I am going to let others seed it now. Right now I am working on converting the Over Time episodes so they can fit on one DVD - right now it's a little over 8 gigs which is a bit too much for the quality of the episodes, since it's a TV rip.

HI everyone! A little bit of an update... I updated the d-addicts wiki article for "Hitori gurashi" (see the link at the first post). It's a very odd drama - I've never seen anything quite like it. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad, either. It was... an experience. :blink If you read the sy...

Hi everyone! Since I'm taking a bit of a break from fansubbing for a few weeks, I've also decided to wait to release my future project, Papa wa Newscaster, until it's completely subtitled, so I can release it in one batch file. That means it won't be released until probably the beginning of fall, so...

OK, well I got the .sfv or whatever file from Jem, but I have no idea what to do with it >_> Also, I completely redownloaded the batch torrent, and it STILL does the same thing.

Wow, musouka , that is quite a difference from the drama! It's interesting that she and Noboru weren't together in the manga - I guess they just had to think up things that were dramatic. I guess RIka never really did cry after she found out her mom died in the drama, now that I think about it. Or i...

To anyone who read or remembers the manga, can you let us in on any differences between the manga and drama version? I've never read the manga, but now I'm a bit curious to see what happened.

Why is Rika not able to love her daughter? From what is shown, she doesn't look like an iguana in her eyes, so then why? Just wondering. I'm not sure, either. I thought it was a strange statement for Rika to make, because she's always been a caring person towards anyone, no matter what they did to ...

The way Kanno Miho's voice slightly trembles when she says "If that's what you want, Mom... then it's okay with me" gets me every time.

Ruroshin, I have a strange request... I know the Permanent seeding project was started mainly to keep older fansubbed series alive, but it's been up and running for some time and there's still only a handful of permanently seeded projects.

I just got around to watching this drama with Matsushima Nanako and Shiina Kippei, and I really wanted to talk about it! When the drama began, I wasn't sure how I felt because usually in dramas about affairs, the person who is cheating on their husband or wife has some kind of "reason," or...

If I end up subbing it, I'll make soft subs and release the raws as I finish the subtitles, as I've done with all my other projects.

If I end up not subbing it for some reason, I'll probably release the raws in a batch torrent.

However, I'm fairly confident I'll be able to sub it.

awrittensin

I know it looks like I'm triple-posting, but it's just because no one else is posting! :P I didn't want to edit my previous posts since this is some new information. I should be receiving a raw copy of Papa wa Newscaster in the next couple weeks, and it looks like this copy has Japanese subtitles. I...

awrittensin

Cool, cool! Okay, how about "Papa wa Nenjuu Kuroosuru"? Sounds good to me. The only reason I was worried about it being "nenju kurosuru" is because I've only seen that drama around romanized as "Papa wa nenjuu kurou suru" so in case someone wanted to search for the tit...

awrittensin

My mistake on "nenjuu". However, "kurou suru" is showing up as a compound word "korousuru" meaning "suffering hardship". That's why I put the two words together, and took out the "u" based on the modified Hepburn. So if I change it to "Papa wa ...

awrittensin

Just a quick question... Why was the article for the drama "Papa wa nenjuu kurou suru" changed from that to "Papa wa nenju kurosuru" ? From an earlier point in the thread: The long vowels should be written as they are in the Japanese language: long a -> aa long i -> ii long u -> ...

There is a Region 2 DVD boxed set on CD Japan here. It's $204 which I unfortunately can't afford right now. :\ However, if no one else can post a VCD or raw rip of this series, maybe a few people can pitch in and we can buy the boxed DVD set. It has Japanese subtitles, so I would be willing to see h...

I was really really shocked the first time I watched episodes 8 & 9, with Nobuko's death. My favorite scene, though, is when Nobuko's mom gets mad at Rika at her house. I think the actress who plays Nobuko's mom was really great when she says to Rika, "Are you trying to tell me that my daug...

Thanks a lot for your offers! I'd really like to see both of those series subbed, but it does look like you don't have all the episodes...

Scribe, if you've had 5 semesters of Japanese then you probably know most of the major grammatical structures of Japanese, so you most likely have a great foundation.

I like both equally, on the condition that they're done well. I've seen very good hardsubs and very good softsubs.

This isn't a bad thing. I believe Americans want healthy and straight teeth (as well as gums) not because it looks good and everything, but it helps you chew your food better, thereby allowing you to digest the food more efficently. Proper alignment of your teeth allows your jaw to properly close t...

awrittensin

Japanese usually don't put as much emphasis on teeth like Americans do, such as here it's like if you don't have perfect teeth you might as well crawl in a hole and die. In Japan, those overlapping teeth are considered really cute and give you character. For example, Hirosue Ryoko has a overlapping ...

But that also means Hikki made 10 million dollars in order to have to be taxed for that much, so I wouldn't pity her too much.
