If you're so interested in Japanese culture, then you should know that politeness is one of the cornerstones of this particular culture, as it is for any high culture. Now who's being arrogant? I know, revealing I'm German is always risky because even after more than 60 years the whole world still ...

Well, the paper's gonna be in German but writing you a summary is the least I can do to thank you for your help.

I don't think I will be done before next month though.

I think it's not quite clear what you're looking for - is it anything with a terrorist theme that came out after 9/11 or is it especially about 9/11 related terror acts and islamic radical fundamentalists? And I think the poster before is right to point out that "terrorism or Islam" makes...

Hello everyone, I'm currently writing a paper about the effects of 9/11 on the Japanese society and therefore looking for j-dramas and movies about 9/11, terrorism or Islam. I'd also appreciate tipps about novels, manga / anime, poems or songs. what do you mean by terrorism or islam?does terrorism ...

BEWARE OF SPOILERS! Since this whole post is nothing but a spoiler I figured it might not make much sense to put it all into a huge spoiler tag. I'm pretty positive about Shigeru now. Especially by watching the preview you can tell she's plotting something. The way she touches Doumyouji's shoulder ...

Kathleen

Hahaha, fantastic! My first experience with Japanese live action was Sailor Moon, too. There were 3 things that I seriously hated about it: 1. the acting. 2. the costumes. 3. the teeth. :P Ever since then I was like: "Why does everyone like J-dramas these days?" like mcg mentioned, PGSM w...

It's like they ran out of ideas and out of time and just made some stupid contest, very disappointing. and playing with the kids for the final round! WTF were the writers thinking??? Were they all drunk! You're obviously new to Hanadan. Otherwise you'd know that they adapted the series from a manga...

i only understand few sentence there.. so here it is.. when tsurara running to kurosakii.. and when the patrol car stopped at the trafic light.. she said "Anata hitori ja nai!" ( You're not alone) - a few times and when the patrol car moved, she was shouting "dakara..dakara gambate&q...

Kathleen

Aww, the line "See you" sounds too fishy though. Would be great to have a second season or a special! I love them both, they did a great job, plus they are kind of nice to look at, too.

I think I'm gonna read the manga too, once I find the time.

Kathleen

Please help me out... I visited a gorgeous internet site of a movie that will be out sometime this year and if my memory doesn't fail me it's starring Sawamura Ikki (not positive though). It's a sad movie about a man losing his memory or anything. I don't remember any details. Does somebody recogniz...

In a German version of Hana yori Dango they might be Tsukushi - Tyra (meaning: Goddess of Thunder) Doumyouji Tsukasa - Robin / Raphael / Leon von Lichtburg...? (Uhm...

Kathleen

Thanks, Sahra, for always keeping us up to date. :D I'm happy for Kamio-sensei that Cat Street is going well but frankly spoken I'd rather have her continuing Hanadan. *sigh* As for the thing about languages, don't worry, I perfectly understood you first time I read it. You were... uhm... kind of di...

Kathleen

Well, romantic love is the strongest of all emotions. I'm not drooling all over romance that much either but speaking from my experience, no matter how strong a friendship love will always be prior. Friends usually make such plans as: "When we're old we ought to live next to each other and get ...

Kathleen

I don't understand why people keep saying Sekachu is the cheesier of both. Sure, there is this great love story that one might consider cheesy (even though, I don't; it's heart-warming, touching, anything but cheesy. And this comes from a person who really dislikes tear-jerkers!). But please, what a...

Kathleen

Hey Sarah! Good to hear from you. I am great. Hope so are you! Thanks for responding to my question. I see you're still an active fan. That's neat. So I can rely on you when it comes to Hanadan news, I suppose. :D Even though I'm not much into anime and manga anymore I definitely want Hanadan to con...

Kathleen

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I last wrote something in this thread. I've been wanting to ask you though if there are any news about Kamio's idea of continueing the Hanadan manga? Has she already finished Cat Street at all?

Thanks, that's sweet but I've actually downloaded Remiromen's version already a while back. What I'm looking for is the choirus version, the one that everyone's singing in episode 3 I think.

Kathleen

Oh I'd really like to have the chorus version of Sangatsu Kokonoka, too. I've been searching for it for quite a while but to no avail. Where'd you guys get it from? (It's not on the soundtrack...)

Kathleen

Kathleen , have you checked urban_decay's clubbox? I think her cb is gold so nothing should get deleted.. Thanks dear. I tried every clubbox I know or that is listed - in vain. It looks like the transfer from wachi's cb has finally started though. Yaay. :cheers: Uhm, this should answer your first q...

Kathleen

I've been searching for Koi ga Shitai . Apparently only Wachi has the show but the download just won't progress for some reason. The search engine doesn't work either (neither the English nor the Korean one) since it says there is no clubbox at all that has Koi ga Shitai which cannot be true as Wach...

Aaaaah why did he return to that apartment, if he didn't then the old man would be killed by the toxic gas. I hope Ryoji can kill that old man, he's getting on my nerves [/spoiler] I hate to disappoint you but watching the very first scene of the drama we learn that Sasagaki will be there until the...

Kathleen

@Sangwoo-oppa: It's beautiful!

Thanks for making it. Please upload the larger version soon!
I love 1 litre and I love Byakuyakou. Guess, we have the same taste in dramas.

(I suppose you've watched Sekachu, too, and if not you'll love it for sure.)

Kathleen

really...what kind of 11-year-old boy would even think about killing his own father for a girl? whatever happened to good old-fashioned puppy-love? Well Ryou doesn't know about those things as he never experienced a happy family life. His mother was always cheating on his father and his father was ...

Kathleen

airskape, thanks so much for this information! Only it doesn't work for some strange reason. It said "tracker rejected", whatever that means... :-( furelise: Just go to the torrent page yourself. It's not that hard to figure out on your own wheather there are subs. (If you're referring to ...

jho: Good luck! I really hope you'll find enough people who are willing to help. That'd be so great, really! Also I've wondered if there's a psychology major who can answer my question: Is Yukiho a borderliner? I mean, she does those really evil things but at the same time she's suffering from it. T...

stay away.. haha. maybe they just don't like to cry. But that's exactly what I mean. Take Densha Otoko. I didn't really like the drama but I can see why others do. It's just not my thing. I do destinguish between low and high quality work though, no matter if I like the genre or not. Therefore peop...

Kathleen

If you listen closely the foster-mother taps the object with the scoop. It sounds more like an urn or jar or something. True. Maybe it's a framed picture of Shinosuka? It should produce about the same sound, plus it would be a proof of her obsession therefore her being sick. No explanation about th...

Kathleen

I only know that she discovered that Yukiho killed her mother. What I still wonder is what object did she discover in the garden. I believe I heard "white flower" but I don't understand what that came from. Good question. I was actually wondering the same. Thought it was just me. It can't...

Kathleen

pv = promotional video basically, it's just the official music video put out by the performing artist... Thanks. I wasn't sure about that since I'm looking for audio only. Anyhow, does that mean there isn't such a version at all? Btw, what's with those people who voted for "stay away"? I ...

its pretty clear asou is fictional if you recall one of the statements reiterated at the end says something about never experiencing love cause of the disease so naturally the "real" aya never had love True. :( So I suppose the line "Will I ever get married" is an authentic extr...

Kathleen

Byakuyakou's got this attraction to it cuz I see myself in there sometimes relating to some of the emotions. Bleh, as for relating to the two of them, after watching ep 09 I think I kind of changed my mind. If the old lady dies then I agree, they ARE evil. Only to think of harming her is cruel enou...

Kathleen

haha wow I thought I was addicted Actually I wouldn't exactly call myself a "d-addict". But I admit I'm kind of addicted to Byakuyakou. :P It's scary how I see myself in both Ryouji and Yukiho. Of course I wouldn't go as far as to killing someone but I do understand why things have come t...

Was he the long haired guy with a kid and a girl who visited Aya's grave? I don't think that makes much sense considering only one year has passed after Aya's death when you see her parents at her grave. I'm answering to this so I probably shouldn't ask but just WHO debates wheather he has become a...

What Ryou said was detailed in a middle of the episode... He said "When the police comes, tell them that you have been threatened by Matsuura and me because of the past event (her mother was the killer). Let them know you (Yukiho) are the victim and I am the culprit. The rest of the story you ...

Thanks, thanks, thank!
I'm still confused, but thanks!

He just told her to immediately do what he tells her. The actual content is left for you to figure out That's odd... What's with the music and her expression then? Also her reaction ("Yada. Sore dake wa zettai ni") doesn't really fit to simply being told to do just "something" (...

Thanks, Silver! You're my saviour!
Oh, and I actually have an account. I just don't remember at all how and when I created it. Err... Anyways, thanks again!

Kathleen

Can some kind soul tell me what Ryou is saying to Yuki at the phone in ep 7 (around 3:30)?
Sounds like the same he told the other guy at the end of the previous episode but I just don't get the words.

Kathleen

This is a really, really, really important issue. I got to Towa's clubbox thanks to this thread and found what I'd been searching for like an eternity: Byakuyakou Raws plus soft subs (it takes me several days to download the raws via bt so I figured a cb would be the better way). But aparently I'm n...

I'm kind of slow. I just watched episode 5 and the show turned out to be one of my favourites.

omg, I love the show so much. The story didn't depress me at all though. True, it's sad but because it's so sad it helped me to appreciate everything I have a little more. Happy to be alive! :) Btw, does anyone know if there is an mp3 of the choir version of "Sangatsu Kokonoka" (the song t...

Kathleen

In a hurry. Again! Doumyouji (where did you get the n in his name from anyway?? :scratch: ) is a LOT dumber in the drama I'd say. He proves several times in the manga that he's actually quite clever, just not educated when it comes to his own language. (He plays the piano, too, he knows several lang...

Sarah, we all know you're a die-hard Hanadan fan. But it's a matter of fact there are people who simply don't care much for the drama. If you're talking about the maths, just throw a look at the results of this thread's poll. It says that there were people who even adviced to "stay away". ...

Where do you all get the movie from anyway? Movies aren't allowed here on d-addicts, right? So is there a clubbox or anything that has it? As for the drama: Gosh, I love it so much. I had never watched it if it wasn't for a recommendation of someone whose taste I pretty much trust. :) What happened ...

Kathleen

I disagree. I thought the ending was perfect. I ddin't want the show to end in a romantic way, the friendship of Shuuji and Akira was much more important and meaningful to the story than their feelings for each other. Personally, I didn't like the character of Nobuta at all. The actress rubbed me t...

Kathleen

I just watched the final episode and... WTF?! I'm really pissed about the ending. I mean, I was really surprised when Shuuji actually left, but I was simply bummed to see Akira followed him. What is he? A stalker? And why is it so easy to move and transfer to the same school, and even the same class...

Kathleen

Based on MG, I've always thought that Doumyouji was supposed to be a little slow, but is it just me or is Japanese version making him out to be a super retard? I haven't read the manga so somebody fill me in on whats his "true" character is supposed to me. Actually Doumyouji in the manga ...

Wow, hmm_yeh, you wrote a major manga spoiler to blacknblue. Sure, you used the spoiler tag but it seems you're referring to the drama only so I think it's kind of unfair to those who might still wanna read the manga. ^^; And well, yeah let's hope for a second season. Next time they won't be in such...

First thing I noticed was that the opening didn't have an episode number under the title, like all previous eps. It just said 「最終回スペシャル」 which means Final Special . Makes me think... why Special ? Why not Final Episode ? I think there will definitely be another season. Read the lines that they show...

-the words.. see you soon .. I wasn't quite sure how to take it.. but it definitely made me feel good.. did she mean see you soon, as in see you soon Domyouji when you come back.. or was that directed to the audience.. as in see you soon in the next season?!?

As far as I know there is an English translation but it's out of stock. Btw, acidkung, what's that about Akira, Shuji and Nobuta being legs? ^^; I mean... If they are the legs, then what is the pig?

@ wing_wing :I get your point aboout Soujiro having done something for Sara that Doumyouji wouldn't have back then.

@ Kumaxell: Wow, this is great. And it really fits. What's the title of the book?

But in the end, I think that Nobuta somehow forgave Aoi, she was truly happy it was just a dream, she didn't want Aoi to die, and she could even take Aoi's hand and say yugatta... Forgiveness doesn't always mean that you'll become friends again and start to hang out with each other, the scar will m...

@ hmm_yeh : A climax is the most dramatic point of the story. Usually it's not in the middle of the story but rather towards the end. What you learned is probably that it's rare to find a climax that is at the VERY end as there are usually at least a couple of minutes when everything eases off after...

Kathleen

True, true. But in the case the ending won't be good (as some of us might be afraid of) we came up with an alternate ending: Tsukushi fights the SPs in order to rescue Doumyouji.
I want to add, she's wearing a Lara Croft outfit and her weapons are from Super Mario.

Translation of the last lines:

Next week for the last time

Will Doumyouji survive it?
Will Tsukushi come to save him in time?
Or will it be 'Good-bye, Doumyouji'?
