Asking again for an invitation, I have good ratios on jpopsuki and avistaz trackers. Thanks.

Hi, I'd like an invite to JPTVTS, I'm an avistaz user for several years and have a good ratio there. I've also been on jpopsuki for years and years and have a good ratio there too. Thanks.

Can anyone point me to a drama with the reverse pattern? :P I mean, the guy significantly older than the girl. :) By significantly I mean up to 15 years or so xD would be really grateful :) Two recent ones: Hatachi no Koibito Muri na Renai Both didn't do so well in the ratings, though.

It's a week into April and things seem to be pretty much the same as far as obtaining new raws of anime/J-dramas/variety shows/etc. goes. I guess it goes to show what I said before, hardcore file sharers will always find a way around things. I guess it's true that it's only really heavy users gettin...

Honestly, host clubs aren't that new, as other people have said. I've known of them for several years now. Even though the average CNN reader probably doesn't know about them, CNN shouldn't have said that they're a new thing.

Danny Choo's thoughts: http://www.dannychoo.com/blog_entry/eng/1407/File+sharing+in+Japan/ There has been much talk over the past few days about a recent announcement that Japanese ISPs are going to forcibly cut off users who share files over the internet. But the English press have worded the news ...

There is already a thread about this in General Discussions. Here's my response, copied and pasted from that thread: "If there's anything that I've learned about file sharing, it's that people will always find a way around attempts to stop it. The software will probably be made even more anonym...

doink-chan

I think the problem will be a lot more complex than the article says. "File sharing", well, that's a nice term, but not all files shared are ripped movies or records (guess who's the one screaming loudest?). What about... Girls Locks? Radio show, features several actresses throughout the ...

My understanding is that, for years, Japanese manga have been illustrated by outsiders. I remember one of my anime friends telling me this about 15 years ago.

I'll agree with what mizune said, though I do admit that the DB live-action film sounds really, really doinky. ^^;; For that matter, there have been J-dramas/J-movies that were remakes.

I don't get ads on DramaWiki either (I'm using Firefox with Adblock Plus), but I do see YesAsia's banner ad at the top of the d-addicts page. I don't mind that ad since it's not flashy and isn't intrusive. If you need to put ads on DramaWiki, maybe consider that sort of ad. Or try Google ads.

1. How often do you watch jdrama? It depends on the amount of time doinkies has. I procrastinate a lot. ^^;; 2. What kind of jdrama do you like?

As far as "pedo" goes with young singers, I think it depends. For instance, if someone likes Sohee's voice and thinks she looks cute but doesn't want to boink her, I wouldn't find that pedo. There's a difference between just finding someone cute and finding someone hot and wanting to doink...

Again, the people who were protesting against the Koreans buying land in the 2nd video looked to be a small group of extremists.

Those signs are pretty rare, actually. Most of the signs in the video come from fuuzoku businesses (basically red-light-district places), as well as places like hostess bars. Most other businesses won't have any problems letting in foreign customers. Though there are a couple legit businesses with t...

When it comes to the media, I tend to use Sturgeon's Law: "90% of everything is crap." There's always going to be a lot of doinky shows out there and only a few real gems, and this goes for J-dramas, K-dramas, whatever-dramas. Though I've seen a lot of recent dramas that were rather medioc...

A lot of native tarento act stupid/dumb/weird on TV too. I see most gaijin tarento as being the same. Of course, if the point of the tarento's act is to act somehow doinkier than the native tarento, that might be a problem. Perhaps it was doinkier when Dave Spector first started in the 80s?

Well, for J-dramas there's NHK's taiga dramas (there's a big list of them on DramaWiki). They've also been around for a long time, since the 60s IIRC.

Yes, this is based on a manga by Takahashi Rumiko who also did Ranma 1/2. It was actually translated into English a long time ago as One Pound Gospel. There was an anime OAV adaptation of this manga as well. And the 4th volume of the manga finally came out after 15 years of hiatus.

I'm also really enjoying this show. I'm following SARS' release and I love the banter between the two protagonists. Though I'm not a huge fan of crime dramas, this drama is really interesting so far. It's probably the best drama this season (the second best being Utahime).

It's silly to judge the Japanese based on J-dramas, just like it would be silly to judge the US based on our daytime soap operas or Melrose Place.

That kind of shoujo manga sounds like the type found in magazines like Sho-Comi.
