I hope Kento will end up with Natsumi. She's such a nice girl and it's clear that she cares a lot about her friends. Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that. She always seemed so concerned about Kento. I could definitely see them ending up together...a long time from now. For those who have ...

So, after watching the 7th episode I became sure of this: This whole Love Shuffle game was just a manipulation of Kikurin to make Oojiro fall for Kairi, then have Kairi kill herself, to make him experience the same feelings he did when his Oojiro look-alike lover commited suicide. That way he would...

I've seen many Japanese dramas being re-made for Korea and Taiwan (Hana Kimi being fairly recent), but I can't think of any Korean or Taiwanese dramas that are re-made in Japan. I know a K drama will sometimes just air in Japan, but is there a reason remakes are not popular? Or am I just being daft ...

PopGilligan

What did people think of the film?

I thought it was pretty much entertaining, and keeping with the drama feel, but it was a total waste of Maki! That being said, I kind of really want them to make another ^^

I've been watching the low quality video with the homemade subs on YouTube, and I've been enjoying the series. The subs haven't been much of an issue for me; the story isn't too complex, and we all know what happens (thus far), so I can deal with it. Definitely don't like it as much as the original,...

PopGilligan

Man...the 1024 is too big for my little laptop.

*waits for a smaller version*

PopGilligan

Disappointing! I was really hoping to get this copy, but now I won't ever buy it. I wonder why they cut it like they did. Sheesh.

PopGilligan

Ooh! Yay! That's so exciting! I'm a little concerned it'll feel stretched out, but...bwa! Who cares? We just get MORE!

PopGilligan

Oh, I hope not! They've rescheduled it so many times now T_T

PopGilligan

Whee! Thank you ethidda!!!

Want to fill us in after you watch, please? I'm so terribly impatient.
Well, that and I have absolutely zero understanding of Chinese ;)

Ookies! We've finally got a banner and a layout, and even a first post! Whee! I posted what I think the positions need to be to scanlate, so maybe people can reply with what they want/can do? It would probably be better at this point to just take most discussion over there. Our mods are wonderfully ...

PopGilligan

Okay, manga update. I made a community (named himono_onna) but as I haven't finished making a banner yet, there's nothing there. I should finish the banner later tonight, or sometime tomorrow. We'll see how tired I get : ) And I've deleted all of the Japanese text to the first chapter. It took a LOT...

PopGilligan

Man that would be awesome. As much as I love Buchou/Hotaru, I'd love for them to do a special with more of the secondary characters. They're all so weird and random and just make me laugh. Thanks for the links Noi, and the offer Caitlin! When I have time to think about things tomorrow I'll let every...

Sounds good to me. I've got AIM, LJ, e-mail of course. So, whatever is fine with me. We can just PM each other (so as to not completely annoy the mods, tee hee!). I'll stick my nose out on livejournal and see if I can find a couple more people interested. Also--I found this link with a tutorial on s...

Yeah, but the point was that Makoto liked her not knowing who she really was. Even he saw that, and told her, in the end. Hotaru could only let herself be herself around Buchou.

PopGilligan

Does anyone think we might be getting an SP sometime? I hope so! But--even though the show got some of the highest ratings for the season (ha, like anything could beat HanaKimi), they haven't been great. So...I don't know. Maybe it depends on what happens in the manga (and after THIS ending, I'm no...

Wheee! Yorokobi , you've made me a happy, happy girl, and REALLY has me interested in seeing how they're going to finish up this drama next week (sad cries). It feels like there's so much more story, and it's the producers, etc. are going to have to cram it all in. All, well, that's alright. Should ...

Hotaru decides to test Takano to confirm if he likes her. But she is unable to see any signs of like in his ambigous answer and Hotaru decides that it is not possible. Where'd you hear this about next week? CM? I'm just curious : ) Hurrah! Some hope! Although dealing with Hotaru/Buchou so late in t...

PopGilligan

WHAAAAAT?! WTF, I know the drama is supposed to be different to the manga, but, come on... the one who was supposed to ride that helicopter with Hotaru was Takano, not Makoto -_- Eh, I guess I already know how this is going to end, then :roll That's so disappointing. I know the mangaka doesn't have...

I wonder how buchou is going to be like when he's serious about Hotaru. I think Hotaru's going to be in shock when they really are in a relationship. I'm going to enjoy her reactions. :P So, a spoilerish question about vol. 9 of the manga (becasue, yes, I'm that slow. Does Buchou already know about...

PopGilligan

Okay, I've decided. I hope Hotaru ends up with buchou. I have a big hunch that it is also the mangaka's intention. Hurrah. Welcome to the camp :DDD Butttttt--I think you've hit it dead on. They're more comfortable around each other, and can truly be themselves. Makoto and Hotaru have a very shallow...

When mine finishes downloading later tonight, I'll try and do a quick translation for you (unless someone else does it first^^). Slow slow torrents! : D

PopGilligan

But actually thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised if the ending ended up like Hotaru ending up with no one at all and sort of "maturing" in the process. I have seen J-dramas in the past like that before and it might be possible for the same plot device to be used. Yeah....that would...

PopGilligan

I really don't know why I've come to like Buchou so much in comparison to Makoto. I mean, Buchou is like ten kinds of awesome while Makoto, cute as he is, is just.... meh. :unsure: Oh, I just answered myself. :lol Yep. That's how I feel about him. I can't decide if it's because it's the way the cha...

Definetely. The more that I'm on the edge of my seat, the better! : D

PopGilligan

^ Yeah, but they built up so much on Hotaru/Makoto these past 5 episodes, are they just going to call it quits and move on to Hotaru/Buchou? I hardly think that's likely and acceptable. All I ask is for no open ending! See, I think that's why Hotaru/Makoto isn't going to happen by the end of the se...

I know what you mean Tass , but I've never associated Ayase with one particular type of character.

I'm glad Makoto is starting to have a personality. Haven't watched ep four yet, but he's just had no substance. I didn't hate him, and I didn't think he was worthy of all the office ladies fawning, either. That being said, I really don't know how they're going to end this one. In my mind it's 50-50 ...

I think it's pretty obvious Hotaru won't end up with her boss. I can even dare to say there won't be many meaningful moments between them, like there are in the manga. That's really disappointing to me. I haven't had time to watch 2 and 3 yet, but even after reading the first two volumes of the man...

Nope not yet! The subbers have been busy at work on it^^

Thank you so much for that explanation. I have to say, Game 3 sounds like it's going to be brilliant. I can't wait!

PopGilligan

I don't think he was mad at all either. He did look a little annoyed, but I think it was at himself because he doesn't understand Nao (and this is definitely where a romance could fit in). Akiyama is used to people swindling, and lying--his entire character is based on this, and we all know it. So f...

the 100 millions cheque must be returned to the organization, the players only get the money they cheated from others.

Is there any romance or possibility of it in this drama? I've thought so, but we haven't really seen anything other than the chemistry between the two actors yet. Spoiler for ep. 8 There is the "heartbeat" scene at the end of the episode, so it certainly seems like they're bringing in a r...

Too bad the game is forcing her to become yet another person who can't be trusted. I felt a little sad when Nao was forced to deceive all the other players in episode 7. I feel like the game has been altered--no longer is it only about finding the best liar while getting revenge on Akiyama. It seem...

I have to say, the thing I am loving most about this season is how the minor characters are getting more screen time. Yuki, Sojiro, her brother...poor Akira needs a subplot though!

Have we even heard if they're going to do a second season? For people who've read the manga, they know the plot is verrrrryyyy different after they head to Paris, which makes me unsure they'd want to even do another season.

I'm not sure I'll watch it if the cast has changed....I wouldn't really understand the point of making a second season if the main characters aren't in it. You might as well just make a new drama.
