I'm re-watching Kagi no Kakatta Heya right now, and realized I haven't watched many murder mysteries in recent memory. Anyone have some unique recommendations?

My watchlist is here: https://mydramalist.com/dramalist/Susan

SusieQ

usapon If you are as experienced with a private tracker as you say are, then you already know what you have to do: join a different private tracker, or two, and build up a ratio there first. Invites are not free for JPTV.club users. I'm sure many users, like me, will not have any to give away. They...

SusieQ

So I applied back in February and never got a response one way or another. 2 months passed and a couple days ago I reapplied (same info) and was sent and invite. YAY! Now I am a member.

SusieQ

So people know, the drama uploaders seem to have mostly abandoned this site. New shows are being uploaded to JPTV Club and sometimes Nyaa, but I don't know if it's the same uploaders. If you like variety, you can still find new episodes of some of those shows. No, I don't know why the drama uploader...

SusieQ

Typically how long does it take to hear back regarding an application? Will I be notified if my application is rejected?

SusieQ

It's 2021. Is it time I try out more kdramas? I doubt it, but let's see. Recently I watched Sweet Home and became somewhat obsessed by it, just so you know. And now for my ridiculous requirements. I'm looking for kdramas that have little to no romance . Preferably horror, sci fi, or mystery, but esp...

SusieQ

If someone were to transcribe a fansub, then the one transcribing would have to be sure (or as sure as they can be) that the original fansubber is no longer active. The original fansubber can always request for transcribed subtitles to be removed, if they so wish. So, is it currently okay to post t...

SusieQ

On the transcribing of inactive fansubs poll question, I'm assuming "inactive" means someone who is long-gone from the scene where it's no longer possible to get their concurrence, as opposed to someone who (for whatever reason) posts their hardsubs on their own sites. I don't think it's ...

I couldn't log in at all in Chrome, cleared cookies and cache, re-entered password, no difference. Had to resort to Internet Explorer, ewwww.... I had the same issues a few days ago. Using Chrome on Windows 10 with Nano Adblocker and Nano Defender, among other add-ons. I would try and log in, but t...

SusieQ

So, the person you mentioned first said "I will post subs a week after my patreon" and you got mad at waiting for a week? Since the subs would go to d-addicts anyways, you still got bothered by one week. Woah woah woah. I NEVER complained about the paid advertisement of subtitles. I wasn'...

SusieQ

I wrote "no advertisement of subtitles in advance" so fansubbers still would be able to have links in their first post. ah, now I understand. i had to reread that sentence so many times for my brain to figure it out. i think that's just me, though. thanks. Gabrielmpf I'm going to copy and...

SusieQ

when I first read this topic a few days, it reminded me of PannenkoekenNL (rip). and i wondered about the health and safety of people who are no longer here. "are you alive? are you happy? are you safe?" i'm trying to recall their usernames, and i don't remember so many, but they were here...

SusieQ

Does this new rule apply to the subtitle announcements forum? A cursory glance in that forum and at the rules, this wasn't clear. - For example, the subber announces a project, however, they will post the subs behind a paywall first and then here after a delay. Perhaps asking users to PM them for th...

SusieQ

Thanks admin for the update. IMO it was a very good thing to add the "thank you" button. I hope that this will stop the users from posting dozens of thank you messages all at once, that will highlight the thread also if no useful/pertinent information are added to the topic. I, like many ...

SusieQ

No announcements were made, but there seem to be at least two new futures added to the forum, one of which I have a small problem with. First I noticed is also the one I'm bothered by: adding a flag aka defining your country is a new and apparently mandatory feature. I use a VPN for reason of privac...

SusieQ

Do US Netflix, Amazon Prime, iTunes have many subtitled Japanese dramas? I think iTunes had Blade the Immortal, and when I search Nanako Matsushima, Matsu Takako, their names and faces show up, but not much of anything else. Doctor X shows up in Amazon search, but says unavailable. Sorry for the la...

SusieQ

I wonder why I even bother.

AvistaZ has opened registration for this week, June 9-15.

I don't know. I have tried a two paid VPN services and neither worked with Hulu/Happyon in Japan. Some brief searches informed me that many VPN services don't work when connecting to Japan for some sites like Hulu and Netflix. I have tried to watch US Amazon Prime video when I was connected to a Ca...

SusieQ

My favs are: Shinzanmono : irt solves a single murder case over the 10 episodes... Also has TV-movie and movie spin offs. Ouroboros : Based on a manga: two brothers became detective and yakuza to revenge someone... Kiina : Extreme special detective for extremely special cases... Trick : A naive phy...

SusieQ

I'm interested in an invitation...

SusieQ

The last Korean drama I completed was back in 2015. It was Late Night Restaurant, the Korean remake of one of my all-time favourite jdramas, Shinya Shokudou. The last Korean drama I watched (and dropped) was Producer. I made it one episode. Around the same time, I made it 14 episodes into Blood... g...

SusieQ

Best of 2018!

Who has a list for me to check out?

SusieQ

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. From a quick look though they're relatively short. Got me wondering, if there are any series that have many seasons. A Yakuza series would be interesting as well. Any suggestions? There are a few long-running series, mostly (to my limited knowledge) ...

SusieQ

Does anyone want a JPopSuki invite?

SusieQ

Well, since this topic is revived, what are some underrated/underwatched dramas from 2015 until now?

SusieQ

j-raws has Miss Sherlock, sars fansubs is releasing the subtitles, transcribed from Hulu. If you have Hulu, you can also watch it there.

SusieQ

Kdrama seems to be going strong, much like Kpop. But Jdrama, despite having more complex, well-written shows, has never really taken off globally outside of Asia. It sucks. And with Japan's crackdown on piracy the pipeline of jdramas has narrowed considerably. It sucks. And I would 100% watch legall...

SusieQ

Here's the info for it: https://jdramas.wordpress.com/2016/09/2 ... ji-hideki/

Here's where you can find airing/duration info http://mydramalist.info/title/43237/doc ... aji_hideki

SusieQ

Who else is watching this? I'm catching up on episodes with the transcribed soft subs by SARS-Fansubs. It's running on Hulu, it's an HBO Asia production, and it's extremely awesome. Takeuchi Yuko as Sherlock Kanjiya Shihori as... Okay I need to know if anyone else had a complete breakdown when Kanji...

SusieQ

Thank you!

If that was there before, I apologise for being dumb.

SusieQ

Logged on today and was greeted by what I'm sure is a lovely site for most. It's not ugly, and though I don't personally celebrate christmas at all I'm not offended by it. My issue is that I'm stuck on an ancient laptop right now and it can't handle the theme with the falling snow. My computer is he...

SusieQ

I haven't watched Bakuman, so I can't guarantee the quality of that one, but hope it turns out well for you too. Finally watched Bakuman. It was pretty good! Totally different tone from Yami no Bansousha, but just as much detail about manga as that and Juuhan Shuutai, but from another different per...

SusieQ

I'm watching it right now, kitty! On episode 3 already. It's amazing. Thank you so much for the recommendation. :D Yay! So glad you're enjoying it! :thumright: I finished it not so long after posting that. It was amazing. Seriously a great drama. Words can't even describe. It was exactly what I was...

SusieQ

I'm watching it right now, kitty! On episode 3 already. It's amazing. Thank you so much for the recommendation.

SusieQ

I haven't seen Bakuman, no. I guess I was turned off because the anime wasn't my cup of tea. But I like the movie cast well enough so I'll check it out.

Now to find out if Yami no Bansosha has subs... My Japanese is so bad right now.

SusieQ

Catching up on Hello Harinezumi (great show), and after watching episode 4 I've developed a craving for a drama (or movie) about manga, or featuring a mangaka. I've seen Juuhan Shuutai (it's one of my favourites!), Guu guu date neko (all versions), Naku na Haruchan, Kore de ii no da, Hondana Shokudo...

SusieQ

I would very much like an invite to AOX, if anyone has an invite left. I can send you my ratio info from another private tracker if you want. http://www.acgnx.se/ is a good alternative. :D Thank you for the link. And thank you to VampirexXx for uploading raws there. Does anyone know where ruell will...

SusieQ

... I agree, there is a potential problem with keeping old torrents active and available, but there's nothing magical about a private tracker that keeps old torrents alive. Enforced seeding ratios don't work because it's possible to maintain a decent ratio by only seeding new releases. Further, the...

Up until just now, I was still getting this error, but then I accidently stumbled upon a different route and it worked. I only get this error if I type in "d-addicts.com" in the chrome address bar, as opposed to "www.d-addicts.com" so try that and see how it goes. Maybe change yo...

SusieQ

Hrm. Good question. I'm curious to know if one exists as well. At one point mydramalist.info was working on translating the website's interface in various languages, but nothing seems to have come of it (yet) as far as I know. I just asked the site admins to see if it will ever happen.

SusieQ

Hey guys, What were your favourites from the Spring 2015 season? Best story, acting, character development, most surprisingly awesome... The ones like that. I'm already planning on watching I'm Home, Kokoro ga Pokkito Ne, Mother Game, and Tennou no Ryouriban regardless of opinion. Generally I like f...

SusieQ

Hrm. Episode 7 was interesting, and a bit heartwarming. I spent the entire episode knowing something was going to happen at the end, though. That's just how it is with this kind of drama. I thought that Shiori would destroy the letter out of even more guilt, having discovered Shun's intentions and w...

SusieQ

I watched season 1 + special and the movie, too, and skipped season 2, because of the same reason. I don't like Yoshitaka Yuriko and for me the main draw-in for Galileo was always Shibasaki Kou anyway. I had no problems with the special. I guess, there were some hints to season 2, but imho, it is n...

SusieQ

^Yeah, that's Yoshitaka Yuriko for you. I find her either overly unkempt or overly prissy—but always high-pitched and grating—in everything I see her in. Hey guys, I have a question. What order should I be watching the new Galileo stuff in? Can I skip season 2 and watch the XX special? I loved seaso...

SusieQ

Ah ah! I thought of another one. I think I just have a thing for old Domoto Tsuyoshi dramas (he was so good in dramatic/romantic dramas!), because I'd LOVE a continuation of Home Drama. Okay, so it was a bit sad and it's nearly 10 years old and one of the cast members (Tamura Takahiro; he was very o...

SusieQ

One of the things that keeps me coming back to Asian dramas, Japan's especially, is their compactness. Most of the time you get a really neat and tidy, satisfying story with relatively well-rounded characters. There's no fear that the cancellation bear will come along and knock the show out of the w...

SusieQ

I loved this drama...

But what happened to Moai's wife and daughter? I know his wife kicked him to the curb, but come on now.

And they never elaborated upon Nikaido's skill at being poor.

And you know, the ending... well.

It was fun, but oh so superficial.

SusieQ

I'll admit, I was getting annoyed by the last few episodes at how long it was taking the professor to confess/Haruko to notice he was in to her, and also how long it was taking Chiharu and Junpei to act on their feelings for one another. But the finale brought it all together and I was pleased by it...

SusieQ

Oh my gosh! For me this series got off to such a bad start, but after episode 5 I LOVE it!

The chemistry between Kimura and Nakai is undeniably the best thing. They're all so silly and natural sometimes and even Karina fits right in. I can't wait to see how it continues! =D

SusieQ

I'm sad it's getting low ratings. It's an excellent series that's been lovingly made. Everything about is just the kind of thing I love to watch. Thank you Maikitty and Gankooyaji. :wub: You guys are the first people I've encountered that feel the same way as I do about this show, and you're much be...

SusieQ

I don't know Koreeda sensei before but I really like the style of this series, it gives a warm feeling to the viewing. As of ep3, i still can't see where the series is trying to lead to. More or less the bonds of family, and how it's hard to see when they're breaking and where. And then how to mend...

SusieQ

This drama is about family registry problems (although focused on the 300 day issue), something we are all familar with from frequent reporting on the news and the numerous times when the family registry shows up in dramas. Someday Japan will have to dump this system, just like other countries in A...

SusieQ

I had my fair share of gripes with this drama, but all was well in the final episode. It was PERFECT! ADORABLE! I loved the airport scene and the EPIC kisses (seriously, that second one is literally the BEST kiss I have ever seen in a jdrama), and before that Yasuoka's eyebrow flick. XD It's not gre...

SusieQ

*shrugs* I must've read a synopsis at some point too, but only remembered the issue with Rei's famiily register and the cast. I usually like to watch an episode or two before passing judgement. I wasn't questioning anyone's presumptions based on the various versions of the synopsis. They're fair in ...

SusieQ

Wow. I never read about it being "forbidden love" beforehand and I don't see the promotional pictures as implying some kind of romantic relationship. Of course the opening and the pictures suggest they are the main characters and have SOME kind of connection, but clearly the actual writing...

SusieQ

Am I really the only one who never actually thought this was a romance drama? I've always felt that Kiyama was treating Rei exactly as she said he was: a child. He doted on her like he would a daughter, out of his desire for atonement, and to be seen as "good." It was selfish of him, and e...

SusieQ

Thanks for the explanation, Wolforion. Yes, it is a stupid, stupid law. =/ ps790, I agree the discussion of the family register system itself would've made for a more compelling drama. Regarding what else is being discussed... Honestly, I never felt a love connection between Rei and Kiyama. His doti...

SusieQ

Watching episode 7 finally. I'm a bit disappointed in this drama. It started out well, but now it's descended into the usual heavy melodrama with requisite overacting, a plot and back story that doesn't always make sense, and shallow characters. I mean, am I to believe that Rei's actually this naive...

SusieQ

I've used magnet links many times before on other sites, and even D-A when the torrent files were removed briefly. I had no problems. However, upon the return of the torrent files this week, the magnet links no longer work properly. For some reason, when I click a magnet link it opens another progra...

SusieQ

Is anybody else annoyed at how selfish and stupid this family is? I skipped through the "touching" family moments at the end of the last 2 episodes because I just don't care about them anymore. Every episode they make some ridiculous request of their housekeeper (slander my father's name a...

SusieQ

This drama is base on a novel, which was also made into a movie in 1999. The daughter with the memory of the mother was played by Hirosue Ryoko . Having only saw the movie and not read the novel, I think the daughter's memory was completely lost in the movie. So the drama will have a different take...

SusieQ

Good evening/morning/afternoon everyone! I'm a humble D-A member looking for some opinions on some 2010 dramas I skipped, for whatever reason (time, disinterest, etc). I watched a lot this year, but there's always dramas that escape my notice and I'm curious on your thoughts on some stuff, if anyone...

SusieQ

I'm looking for more accurate info on the airing dates and time and the number of episodes for a Taiwanese drama called 紫禁之巅 or Top of the Forbidden City. See, some sites say 17 episodes (DramaWiki for example) and some say 34 episodes, and some even say 25 or 26. As far as I can tell, it originally...

SusieQ

No, isn't bird's nest soup made with literal bird's nests? We're not talking the twig kind, though. See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird%27s_nest_soup

Also on wiki there's a dish where the nest is made out of fried taro root.

You might want to contact WithS2 DIRECTLY, via their website, rather than posting here. But here we go. First of all, did you keep the .srt file extension on the subtitles? That's necessary.

Thanks for the update! I was wondering why DramaWiki (and FansubWiki too) had gone down all of a sudden today.

I hope it's resolved soon.

I dunno groink, there's a bit of both in either fandom, isn't there? I know anime fans that are die-hard fans of certain voice actors.

I'm a weirdo. I've watched Moto Kare 3 times, and Kimi wa Petto twice, but that was awhile ago. I tried to re-watch Lunch Queen recently but only got through the first 3 or 4 episodes before I got too busy with other things, and a bit bored. I usually just watch things once and delete them. I'm with...

This is a bit of a random question, but does anybody recognize where they filmed the part of episode 8 near the beginning with Miyama and Keita just as they've returned to Tokyo? The scenes I'm talking about take place from about 11:30 minutes to 14:30. I was just struck by how pretty and green that...

Kind of bumping this because it's currently the Japanese Series of the Week(s). This was one of the first dorama's that i watched, and seeing as the JSOTW inspired me to watch for a THIRD time.
