That looks really good. o.o I want to see it. Maybe I can find a dvd with English subs on Ebay or something...

EDIT: Wait a sec, IMDB says it's still in production. How did you see it then?

Schala

Seeing as how I've grown with having almost all guys friends all of my life, yes it is quite possible. There were a couple I admit to developing crushes on, but later got over them. And I definitely didn't develop crushes on all of my male friends.

Schala

I don't care either way. It's just an earring....sheesh.

Schala

Well I used to be really into anime. I loved the GTO anime (still do), and my friend told me about a live action version. So I downloaded it and LOVED it (still do). From there, I decided to try more Jdrama shows. And my love for them just developed from there.

Schala

Schala: i believe the difference is that we are male. So? Bah..who cares if you're male or female! Some dramas are very emotional! It's okay to cry! I think in our society, they make it seem like it's not okay to cry (even being female, my father came down on me a lot to get a "thicker skin&qu...

Schala

Oh yeah, I've bawled my eyes out while watching plenty of dramas. ^^0 Especially dramas like Summer Snow, Beautiful Life, and Hotaru no Haka! T__T

booniez, you missed the point of my post. I'm saying that we should BOTH learn each other's language and culture. I'm not saying Spanish people should learn about just us or vice versa, I'm saying both of us should learn about each other. >_< Since they are moving into our country, they should learn...

Schala

I believe Spanish should be optional. You should choose to learn a second language because you're facinated by the culture not because we have to accomdate some immigrants. Well, that's your opinion, but only knowing ONE language really limits your communication skills, imo. I dunno how it is in yo...

OMG! How many years does the United States of America have to be a nation, before we are allowed to call ourselves American without having to hear this ridiculous argument? I am proud to call myself an American, and I am happy to welcome those who have lawfully earned their right to be called the s...

Schala

Yeah, I know how that is. I live in NJ, and NJ is a very expensive state to live in as well. >_< It would take me years to earn enough money to live on my own. I wouldn't be on my own right now if I hadn't run into a friend of a friend who was willing to rent her condo to me for cheap. And even chea...

Schala

Are any of us even really American? I mean, really the only people that were originally here are the Native American Indians. The people who colonized here were from Britain. So really, America is a diverse country of people from other countries. Wait...I forgot where I was going with that.............

Well, he's also performing at smaller venues. Now, if he was playing at a HUGE arena and it sold out that quick, then maybe. XP

Schala

Too bad it's not L'Arc cuz I'd so be there....

Schala

The Takashi Miike film?

It was okay...though just a little to bizarre for my tastes. But I'd much rather watch it again than Ichi the Killer. I still want my 2 hours back I spent watching that movie. *shudder*

I just don't like the gore or grossness factor.

Schala

Well, I dunno who I look like, but I think my friend kinda looks like Takizawa Hideaki; except for the fact that he's Caucasian. :sweat: What do you think? :lol Takizawa Hideaki [img]http://quatrecastle.homestead.com/files/Takizawa_Hideaki.jpg[/img] [img]http://quatrecastle.homestead.com/files/hptak...

Schala

Um...ok..what about it? o_o...

(I do want to see this though. I hear it's going to be released on dvd in North America.)

Schala

I type both. I dunno. Sometimes it just comes out as dorama, other times it comes out as drama. *shrug* And for those who have no clue what I'm talking about, I say Jdramas. And for those who are absolutely clueless, I say Japanese drama tv shows. Lol.

Schala

I prefer to watch anything foreign (anime, movies, tv shows, etc.) in the original language it was made. Not just for Asian, but ANY language. I feel when it's dubbed into a different language, it loses meaning. P.S. - I don't think too many people here on D-Addicts will say they prefer dubs, since ...

Schala

I don't know any other language proficiently besides English. But I know some Japanese (all from anime, movies, and dramas...but I hope to take classes some day...I want to learn it fluently to one day use in a future career), some Spanish (3 years in high school), and a little French (only took 1 s...

Worst Jdrama ---> Hana Yori Dango. Hahaha. That was an amusing read. :P I agree though, well somewhat. I watched HYD all the way through and thought it was just "okay". It's not something I was overly impressed with. I do like Oguri Shun though. I think he's a great actor, and in the past...

I have also looked for covers but have found nothing, so I started to make my own, it's not too hard to do... I have done GTO and I'm working on Summer Snow. It's hard to find high resolution pics to work with. What pics did you use for GTO? I found a couple screen shots I was trying to work with, ...

Schala

Yeah wow...that does look a lot like Densha Otoko. But hey, Disney is doing the same thing right now, making a movie that is JUST like Madagascar.

Schala

Well since I can't verify exactly how many, since Jdorama.com seems to not want to load right now, I'm gonna guess around 10-15 completed Jdrama series.

EDIT: Ok, now that I got it to load, I counted 14.

Schala

Hopefully I posted this in the right forum...if I didn't, I apologize. Ok, here's what I want to do. I'd like to make pretty dvd cases for my fav Jdramas I've downloaded. :3 The problem is, I'm having trouble finding dvd cover scans to use. I don't want screen caps from actual episodes.

I haven't seen the anime, but it does look somewhat interesting...

Schala

I think I like each genre. When it comes to watching American movies though, I don't really like the romantic comedy (chick flicks) movies. Not my thing. But for some reason, I don't mind romance in Jdramas. I dunno, there's just something different about it.... I'm not overly fond of certain types ...

Well, as they say, "Love has no boundaries". So, if you say people shouldn't marry outside their race, that's putting a boundary on love, isn't it? And to people who may say (I'm not sure if anyone did, I only skimmed the thread) that their kids will have a hard time growing up and will be...

a lot of people also recommend 'airborne', which was surprisingly not mentioned here. My mom is a teacher and she uses that stuff right when she thinks she's starting to get sick, and she's magically cured. I take it, and I still get sick. It's so frustrating. :glare: So, I think Airborne may work ...

It's actually a movie, not a drama, so it's not offered on D-Addicts.

Schala

I have a low immune system, so nothing ever works for me. When I'm really decongested, nothing works. (And yes, I've tried that Mucinex stuff.) So I just drink lots of fluids, get plenty of rest, and overdose on Vitamin C.

It's actually not a series, but a movie called Azumi, starring Aya Ueto.

Schala

Wow....just wow. @_@

Ok, seriously though, is this all you do in your spare time? ^^0 It seems like you have a new one completed every other week or so, and they look like they take FOREVER to make!

Schala

Well, from what everyone has said, I think I'll use nozomi then.

Thanks everyone for your help and input!

Schala

Well, now I'm confused. Should I use kibou or nozomi?

Schala

Sabre wrote:How about "Hotaru no nozomi" ??

Well, in my dictionary, it says nozomi is the verb form, and kibou is the noun form.

Schala

Ok, this is gonna seem random, but I do have a purpose for asking this. If I wanted to say "The firefly's hope" in Japanese, it would be... Hotaru no kibou Right? Or if not, what would it be? Thanks! (Sorry this seems random, but I do have a purpose for asking this, but I can't give out de...

I just watched this last weekend. I was really disappointed with it, to be honest. The only thing it had going for it were the visuals. The plot was really boring.

I watched the first episodes of Bus Stop and Moto Kare and wasn't too thrilled with them. Just like with a book or an anime, the beginning needs to really grasp me for me to get into it.

Note that whatever tool you use, you can only split on key frames without re-encoding. That is why with some tools the split occurs somewhere other than where you specify, because the split is being done at the first keyframe before the point you specified. This means that VirtualDub reencodes. The...

I burn the ones I really like and think I might watch again down the road. The ones I'm not overly impressed with, I just delete.

Sometimes, I burn the drama before even watching it. I have a dvd player that plays divx files, so that way I can lay on my bed and be comfy while I watch it. ^o^
