Izydata: There are actors that basically play themselves all the time, with only costume changes, and there are others that lose themselves into a different persona for each role. Without getting into the on-going debate about which type is better, I think there's a place for both in the art, and yo...

I'm pleased the discussion here is off to a good start. Let me throw in my first two cents. There are many things I can say about that first episode but the aspect that struck me hardest is that it felt very much a searing indictment of menfolk in general. In that entire first episode, there wasn't ...

Argh! My listening skills still suck.Thanks for clearing it up Izydata.

Theories anybody? Personally, I think it has to be a red herring. They wouldn't give away something big like that in a preview. Or would they?

The show's premise has the makings of a vey complex and fascinating love triangle. I have a hunch that the writers intend to add their own twist to the usual menage between one man and two women by reversing the gender roles between Ueno Juri and Eita. Her occupation is as butch as his is fey, and t...
