This is a drama based on a manga/anime of the same name, that has a cast like this:

dramawiki link

I had just finished the episode, it is all kinds of win. Spot on characterisations and outfit!

Is that eccentric looking girl (with the two kids) Stella-chan? If so, she's a bit mhmm...though the change is understandable. I'd have to see more before I say if I like her though.

Anyone else seen it? If you haven't, give it a chance! Honestly!

PS: First topic, if I do anything wrong, tell me. =)

just wonder may be yoshitaka yuriko would be better nino than kiritani mirei........

Stella is a bit weird. But it looks good. They did a good job with this. Something that is pretty hard with a source that is so crazy.

I like the first episode too, but I had no experience with the manga or the anime. The preview when everybody talked about how the cast jelled together got me anticipating the possibility of something special.

I like kiritani mirei more. I would love her to get more main roles

I am a fan of the manga and the anime... and the drama did not disappoint.
(or I'm probably just open-minded) lol~

I still can't believe Shun & Takayuki went for the roles. LOL! they are sooo funny~

stella-chan was weird.. but the change was understandable.. I just wished that they kept her gothic loli outfit. XDDD

noop · Post by **noop** » Aug 10th, '11, 08:56

when I watched the anime, I really didn't think it'd be possible to turn this in to a dorama

really enjoy it

Skibblu · Post by **Skibblu** » Aug 23rd, '11, 08:50

Google image keep failing me -points the first image in the first post=

Oh well.

I think this drama is just wayyy too out there for most jdorama fans?

does anyone know why they have to have 3 mins recount of the prev episodes? It's entertaining but the episode is already so shorrrrt ;w;

febrie · Post by **febrie** » Aug 24th, '11, 00:15

wonder why, there's still no one upload episode 4 yet..

Skibblu · Post by **Skibblu** » Aug 24th, '11, 10:08

Maybe the person that normally uploads it is busy? I can link you to one with Chinese subs but that's about all I can do xD;

I have only watched 2 episodes. I am still waiting for the rest of the subs.
It's a weird drama, but that weirdness is what makes this drama interesting.

Ooh I see. <3 Comment when you see more episodes then =)

It's a very nice drama, bit hard to recommend to people though. It's so OUT THERE. xD

I just finished watching the drama. I really enjoyed it. A lot more than I thought I would since it seems rather out there as far as things go. I definitely think it's worth watching even if just for something different than the usual type of stuff.

I think (well more like hoping really!) that the 2012 movie is actually more like a SP final episode

At least that's what it seems like from the end of the drama but it's hard to find any accurate info. Has anyone been able to confirm if the movie is just a rehash of the drama, an end SP or something completely different?

febrie · Post by **febrie** » Jan 28th, '12, 00:15

Not SP but the Movie, will be premier in February...

since the drama doesn't end properly.

Pantheria · Post by **Pantheria** » Jan 28th, '12, 08:33

Yeah but what will it be about? Will it just be a rehash of the drama so using the same scenes but told in a the lengh of a movie, an end SP (actual continuation of the drama) or something completely different?

jell_o_jello · Post by **jell_o_jello** » Jan 31st, '12, 12:49

Well, from the preview at the end of the last episode, looks like it will be a continuation from the drama

when it will be released?! did anyone know?!?

TofuQueen · Post by **TofuQueen** » Feb 29th, '12, 07:43

The movie came out in Japan on Feb. 4, 2012 (I think...was looking for it late last night & might be off a bit on the day).

I just...don't quite know about this drama.

The bizarre characters were fun, but they're SO out there that I'm still just not sure what to think. In the back of my head was always, "they're presenting it in a humorous way...but this is really a group of seriously mentally ill homeless people..."

After the final episode a lot of things made a lot more sense, & I'm hoping the movie will wrap things up.

Never did get used to Oguri Shun's voice coming from the kappa, my brain just won't link the two!

TheVicarious · Post by **TheVicarious** » May 5th, '12, 14:31

This is honestly one of the best Jdramas I've seen so far, if not THE best. And I usually don't even like stuff that is weird in this way at all. The atmosphere of the whole thing is just amazing, the music is gorgeus and the cast is really good. That's what you'd expect from Oguri Shun and Takayuki Yamada though.

Haven't seen or read the manga/anime either.

Also didn't know there was a movie in the works. Will it be with the same cast?
