I wouldn't worry about the movie flopping. They got the mangaka to write the continuation of the story. As for Shun, I think I read Lily translate that he wasn't against a third season/movie/special as long as the story is good. Ah, whoops, you got me there. I admit I haven't been reading any Hanad...

Kath-Lee

Huh?! A movie? I don't really know wheather or not to be happy about this. They pretty much messed up in the past, so how should they develop a story arc that actually comes close to any part of the manga NOW that everything has been stuffed into those two seasons? Also I'm surprised everyone is in ...

Kath-Lee

Sorry if I might ask something that like 50 people have asked before but do you guys think there's a chance for a special or something? I'm just really bummed about the ending. It was so sudden. I'm actually a supporter of the whole open ending thingy but it wasn't really appropriate for this kind o...

Kath-Lee

I am not the most romantic person Yeah, sure. Just watching your avatar... Is that Doumyouji and Tsukushi kissing at the airport? :mrgreen: Uhm, anyways, I forgot to mention in my previous post that I simply love the humor in the show. I don't know if some of the funny scenes actually weren't inten...

I finished the complete drama a couple of minutes ago and I'm really sad it's over already. It might not have been that special and original but it was a beautiful and heart-warming story that I would recommend anytime to people who are looking for shows that make you... uhm, as cheesy it may sound....

Kath-Lee

I don't think there should be a season 3. Maybe a 2 hour special can end this drama but a season three would be pushing it, right? I mean Shun doesn't want a season three so if he isn't going to star as Rui they would have to recast Rui or take Rui out of season three all together. The show would l...

^ Nobody feels that they need to say anything about the end of ep 9? Looks like the guy was hired by Kaede to force Tsukasa back into line... Lol, see 3 posts above. I did refer to the end of ep 9. :) It looks pretty interesting to me. Finally something happened that totally threw me off. Honestly,...

Kath-Lee

MAN! I just watched the 9th episode. It was so sad it made me cry. :( Nevertheless I have to say Mao's acting wasn't all that good. It seems she doesn't really understand what a person feels who's saying good-bye for their love of a lifetime. Also the crying wasn't too convincing. I've seen better o...

Kath-Lee

Hey guys, I'm back. Had to live without dsl for like 2 weeks but now I've started catching up with you all. Last night I've watched ep 08. Guess what? I had a dream with Doumyouji, Tsukushi and Shigeru. In my dream Shigeru was a call girl or something. I was Tsukushi. And Doumyouji was just Doumyouj...

You ever watched [Tokyo Friend Park II] (2006.12.25) Guest - Hana Yori Dango Returns? Its a show where the actors played many mini games. Mao and Matsujun seemed to me more than friends. In other hand, Shun talked a lot to her and he always looked at her like he looks in HanaDan at her but well...h...

Kath-Lee

Rumour: Matsujun dates Inoue Mao? Did they fall in love while doing that dorama? OMG! That would be so cool. In a recent interview Matsujun has said that Maho-chan has matured a lot since last year. How's this relevant? Matsujun supposedly likes elder women. When I saw both of them together in show...

Nuh, not really. I dont like her behaviour at all. She IS a sweet and kind person but I dont like how she hurts Makino by purpose and how she kicks Makino under pressure. Also she is soo fake.. yeh i though when she told D in the previous episode that "if you break up w/ me ill kill myself&quo...

Shigeru's just a spoiled brat. She's filthy rich and an only child. You cannot blame her for being used to get everything she wants. :) But I don't think she actually means bad, nor does she seem stupid to me.

Yeah, it's really sad indeed. But the funny thing about this drama is it didn't leave me depressed at all. Dunno if it's because I've known from the beginning that the girl's gonna die... There was never any hope for them to stay together and live a happy life, therefore I could just sit and watch h...

@xkawaiix: Hehehe, have you read the manga, too? Because Shigeru does similar as in the anime. Only that it's not that big of a deal, actually. She's not plotting something really huge like planning a fake wedding over months but she goes to Tsukushi's place at night and tells her that Doumyouji sti...

What I think is creepy is Rui's love for Makino, in the manga he was more sweet, and in the series he seems to be obsessed with her. Speaking of being obsessed, isn't that what we love so much about Doumyouji's love for Tsukushi? So far I don't see anything wrong with Rui being in love with her. I ...
