[Discussion]Mei-chan no Shitsuji - Hiro Mizushima
on the same subject of rating, taken from jdorama tv rating.
comparing MnS with other this season's dramas, while most of dramas had a big drops from early eps, it somehow maintained its avarage rating till now (nearly). i see it as very good result. because it means that MnS kept its viewers interested while other high profiled cast dramas of this season failed to do so.
i can't wait for ep 8.

my heart beats onLy for you...
ta da! I've watched Episode 7 last night.. the story is getting pretty interesting.. I was really fed up with their hair knowing they look better in smooth hair.. I reaLLy love Sato Takeru's hair like this..
LOL.. He looks so cool in there...
But he looks so sweet when he was hugging Mei... I hope Shiori will realize that its no good keeping someone at your side reluctant and sad..
But this story is aLL about Mei-chan's butler.. so it will focus more on Rihito.. I think so...

YEH ^__________^ RIhito ^__________^ GAMBARE ... Oh my god , I love the fighting scene, I can see the feelings they put in it I think that this drama may has no-pairings at the end but I think the one MEi like must be RIhito, so The staff let this drama so open-up for the sake of KENTO's fans ... This ep is so awesome, I kept watching it over and over, the most touching scene for me is When RIHITO told Mei that he'll never leave her side .. And SHinobu, did he smile because he is happy / Let's see ... When Rihito came back to MEi, SHinobu can serve SHiori again ^____^ And now Shinobu is sure that nothing can change RIHITO's feeling about Mei so he will be the one be SHiori's side ... I mean, SHINOBU is in love with SHiori

Well, I agree with you. It has been a long time since I watch a romantic + comedy drama with a proper ending (if you dont count a SP or a movie in the case of HYD!)fragolina wrote: Now i really won't accept an open ending. The main couple is very clear to me. Next episode will be very important. Hope they'll not mess this atmosphere

After watching the trailer of episode 9 on Fuji TV websites, I noticed that they announced something about March 17 and count down thing.
http://www.fujitv.co.jp/flvplayer/flvpl ... ei-chan_hd
Is this drama going to be concluded on March 17? Is it actually going to air for 10 episodes not 11 eps like we all have been told?
I'm not so sure since my japanese skill is kinda poor. If anyone understand what they actually announced, plese tell me. . . >__<

YES, i am also wondering about it. i guess it ends with only 10 eps. but he way ep8 was in deciding lots of ending, i really don't see much left to be explained.jazztonish wrote:After watching the trailer of episode 9 on Fuji TV websites, I noticed that they announced something about March 17 and count down thing.

Re the episode count: It might have just ten episodes. I've noticed that a lot of this seasons shows seem to just have ten episodes. I think that despite some good ratings, the overall ratings for this season have been disappointing (for all shows., So the networks are trying to get the spring season shows on quickly; I noticed some shows start the first week of April, which seems early to me.
to be honest, i had my doubt as well. because why else they advertise for ep on 17th if they could do it by the end of 9th ep. i just did not to believe it and now that i read, it makes sense.Minelauva wrote:I read onthis blog that Mei-chan no shitsuji will have only 9 episodes and not 10 and that the next episode, which will air on March 17th, will be the last one.
9 episodes... That's so short ! I wonder how they'll manage...
now i have to say it is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT for this drama. i am just wondering what is the reason. rating is not doing that bad.
i wrote before that with 4eps left (when i thought it had 11 eps) they can end it beautifully. now knowing that is only 9 eps, i am curious and scared on how they end it.
rihito's character has not reached his full story development. we yet to see more of him to convience us of his love for mei and that he deserves her more than kento.
what about shiori and her butler? tami and her butler. there are 5 characters all togther that need more explaining to do. atleast it should get 2 more eps. the way i see it, it is going to end in hurry and not great at all. pitty after such great eps one after another to end it like this.
i too agree that 9 episodes will be way too short for them to tie up the loose ends, especially Rihito's character development ><
so not to worry, it's definitely not just 9 episodes.
from the official site:
http://wwwz.fujitv.co.jp/mei-chan/trailer/index.html
they've put up a brief synopsis for Episode 9 (on 10th March)
then plus the advertised 17th March's episode, it should be 10 episodes then
so not to worry, it's definitely not just 9 episodes.

sigh of relief that is great then. even though i still think they needed to do 11 ep to rap up everything just fine, i guess 10 eps is not that bad.nickel56 wrote:i too agree that 9 episodes will be way too short for them to tie up the loose ends, especially Rihito's character development ><

as i said, lots of facts about those chracters need to be resolved.
plus, i am so addicted to this drama by now that i know i will have withdrawing symptoms by the time is finished.
but i guess i be fine as i already decided which next drama going to get my attention.
Totally agree. The news of 10 episodes is saddening me but 9 was totally bad!Issy wrote:sigh of relief that is great then. even though i still think they needed to do 11 ep to rap up everything just fine, i guess 10 eps is not that bad.nickel56 wrote:i too agree that 9 episodes will be way too short for them to tie up the loose ends, especially Rihito's character development ><

Ten episodes is shorter than I'd like, but I do honestly think that the whole M/K/R/S love triangle and who will be come heir can be wrapped up next week and the last episode can be a wrap up of any loose storylines (Rose's relationship to Mei's parent's, Tami, etc) and maybe a fast forward to what happens to everyone. Plus, I'd love to see what happens with that butler rule, as it seems all the girls break it. Maybe Mei could take a job at the school down the road?
even after all what i said about ending pair, knowing how much a jdrama can shock and suprise you sometimes by its ending, i still have my hand on my heart about this one.jus me wrote:After watching last night's SmapxSmap all three said they have no clue who's going to end up with Mei. It could be true that they don't know but I have a feeling they do know and I just hope it's Rhito and Mei Now I have to wait till 2:00am Hawaii time to watch today's episode
i just can't believe that they answered most important question of the drama, 2 eps before its ending. just too good to be true!
unless we all need not reading some hidden lines in ep8.
and i can't believe that i am so unlucky to miss the last 2ep of my fav drama because i am working. i hope that it gets uploaded very soon.
I'll be missing an hour's worth of sleep today just to watch this drama.
I'm sure I'll be falling asleep at my desk at work but it's worth it. I just have to see what's going to happen. You're right Issy. J-drama can shock us. I'm just hoping it'll be the ending that I want. Kimura-kun was saying on SmapxSmap that the producer for this drama is the same person as when he was doing the drama Change. He was telling Mizushima-kun be careful cause this producer is known to write 30 pages. Ahh... it's only 3:40pm Hawaii time. I don't know if I can wait!!

Finally I watched it ^____________^ .. the letter ROSE sama gave Mei actually is from her parents ... In this, they told Mei that " Is there someone important by your side ? the For the sake of this person, please try your best! Fight!"... After reading this letter , Mei chased Rihito and told him " Please, fight together to make my dream come true " .. then He hold her hand and told her " To protect Mei sama , Let's try together " ... My japanese is very poor, I think its the most clearly part that I can hear ..About Shinobu, I think his wish is "can be by SHIORI's side", so When he heard about the duel, he smiled ... may be If he can win Rihito , he pretend to lose ...Tami did that thing because If she do that, Rihito can't take part in the duel so he'll lose and has to go with SHiori

NO From what i've seen, the one who is leaving is KENTO , NOT RIHITO ^_____^ So I think Mei won the duel ... But It seems like an open- ending because I didn't see any MEI_RIHITO SWEET SCENE Or May be they keep it in secret ^_____^ ... Episode 9 shows us so much about Rihito's and MEi's feeling, so please make them be together ...Shiget^ wrote:[

I actually saw 09 on Share but I was so tired that I didn't reflect of it being the newest episode. minna-san, gomen ne!
Nothing like a tension in the evening/morning, eh?
Edit 1:
704 version is up.
1280 is coming a bit later, need the speed for seed on the first one first.

I haven't even watch episode 9, but the title made me all anxious! Damn it, where can I watch it online? I don't really mind watching without subtitles. I d understand a bit of Japanese, but subtitles makes it all better >.< Eppp... I wanna know what happen already... Mind pointing to which site I can watch it?
Honestly, I prefer if there's 11 episodes and that Mei would ended up with Rihito heheh... Weeeeeee...

there are 8 parts of the vid but becareful that the 1st vid starts with the end of the episode, so try to skip to around 4 or 5 minutes to watch the beginning of the episode.

You're my hero! I never did watch the one without subtitle before, I usually download it and wait till the subs comes out and watch it with that lol. But, since I'm not sure when the sub's coming out and dying to know what happen, I guess, it's time to break the habit =D Thanks, I'm waiting for the tenth episode already... Grrr... Why is there only 10 episodes? I'm not sure how they're wrapping it up... What's with the whole -- triangle... more like a rectangle now... love thing...

no problem, wickedvampiregirl! hope you enjoy the show. =)
yeah, me too. i just can't wait for the high quality vid to come out. i'm too obsessed with this drama.
and it would be wonderful that this drama should have aired till epsidode 11.
And I just can't imagine myself what I'm gonna do after March 17. Can't bear the fact that I may not have a chance to see Hiro's acting for months.
And I become a big fan of Nana-chan now!

Me neither... What else is there to watch? I've been addicted with the drama that I haven't really watched anything else - with the exception of the few dramas that Hiro is in -- can anyone blame me? He's smoking hot lol... I wonder if he have anymore dramas coming up, he was the reason why I started on this drama... Heheh...
Weee... I suppose I better watch it now...

Hmm... I even watch this drama in my dreams, so damn sad on so many levels lol... Anyway, I thought about it to a point of over thinking it - it's possible really with my brain, I over analyze to an impossible extent. So......... About Kento........
And there's that Shinobu and what he desires..........
Of course, I have no reason to pity Shiori. Not because of her mean behaviour.
Why stay close to the Shibata? And why the Shibata is so significantly important?
Rihito and Mei...
i can't remember last time that any jdrama engaged my brain to this extent that can't stop myself from thinking about characters and storylines...wickedvampiregirl wrote:Hmm...

It was never possible to just shut off my brain lol. I tried and fail. But, I never really over analyze a drama as much as this. There's just so many I thought about, who's who, what's really happening, will the ended up together. Mostly any dramas - not just Japanese, I could just guess right out even with mountains of cliche. Still, I'm not exactly certain about this particular drama. Way too many loopholes and way too many unanswered questions. I'm just wondering on how are they even going to tie it all together in one last episode. It seemed too impossible. What's going to happen between Mei & Rihito. Will Kento become an S-Ranked butler. Will there be a fast-forward into the future cut-out. And not to mention the minor characters. I'm curious to know what will happen to Izumi, Fujiko , Nezu, etc. I seemed impossible to me, they need at least another episode after 10th to wrapped it together just nicely. Yup, I'm starting to think of more theories now >.<..........Issy wrote:i can't remember last time that any jdrama engaged my brain to this extent that can't stop myself from thinking about characters and storylines...wickedvampiregirl wrote:Hmm...
