Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
I thought the first episode was HORRIBLE and way too cheesy but it got better and really enjoyable as it went on. Good performances by most, especially Toda Erika, the nerdy guy, and the flight nurse in addition to the "real adult" actors. Unfortunately, the two seemingly main stars of the show, Yamapi and Gakki, were horrible. Pi was so wooden and boring and Gakki was a crying baby who looked waaay too young for the part, with a horrible hairstyle to boot. |

Still a good show but not quite as good as the first season- WAY MORE REPETITIVE. The formula- Makino and Doumyouji are going to be together. Doumyouji's mom/another girl or guy causes trouble.

I wanted to watch a mystery show. I had read some of the manga. Matsujun as Kindaichi solves the mysteries. Erm, nothing too special about it. The sub was also awful, similar to the DO show.

Great movie | Love Revolution [ラブレボリューション]
Rating: 8/10 (Watched)
Fun show. Esumi Makiko was great and beautiful. Fujiki Naohito was beautiful. Oshio Manabu's character annoyed me but I liked seeing him speak English. | Love Shuffle [ラブシャッフル]
Rating: 10/10 (Watched)
Definitely the best show of winter 2009. Sounds like it will just be a typical romantic comedy but it is so much more than that- wonderful cast of characters, good acting, twists and turns around every corner. Must-see! |

Nice start and good interaction between the two leads. But it got draggy for me in the second half and Shingo's side story was boring. | Lunch no Joou [ランチの女王]

Hilarious and touching too! Nagase was hot as the cool rock star and even the dorky obnoxious guy! He and Yuko were the cutest couple, even if they got a little too sickeningly sweet with the matching sweatshirts and stuff. | Muri na Renai [無理な恋愛]
Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
Didn't expect much after the first ep but it turned out to be really entertaining. Natsukawa Yui was incredible. Very different from her Kekkon Dekinai Otoko character but the show did have some similarities. Very character driven. Not perfect, but one of my favorite shows. | Musashi [武蔵]

Overall pretty slow-moving, not very interesting show. The story was nothing special, the acting was mediocre at best. I think kids would like it though. Good for parents to watch with them. |

It was overall a cute romantic comedy. Nothing too special to make it a favorite or anything but I liked it enough. Kubozuka Yosuke was very good-looking all clean-cut in this role. I thought the last few episodes were getting a little bit repetitive with the back and forth between "yes" and "no" indecisiveness. | Omiyasan [おみやさん]

I only saw the fifth season and thought it was decent, but not particularly captivating. |

This was a very sweet, if a tiny bit cheesy drama. A little bit of cheese is good, though, and this one doesn't overdo it, thankfully. I'm a little sick of disabled girl stories but that's not the main point in this one. | Orthros no Inu [オルトロスの犬]

I thought it got off to a slow start but after the first few episodes when it started to get into the mystery it got better. Acting was good too, especially from the older actors. The family and character scenes are nice but I really cared about the mystery more. | Seigi no Mikata [正義の味方]
Rating: 7/10 (Watched)
It was cute and had lots of funny moments but I found it really repetitive and frustrating. Makiko is a bossy beeyotch but somehow hides it from others. Yoko is a pushover and complains but still does everything sister wants. Over. And over. I liked Yoko's little romance with Hongo Kanata but they should have done more with it. |

Finally finished. This looked like it was gonna be a cutie comedy but it was actually a dark cop show. It just had the appearance of a comedy.

Great first episode but then gradually went downhill. Turned into big-time melodrama and cheesiness. I think everyone who worked at the hospital needed an operation at some point.

A slight step-down from the first season. It was becoming more slapstick. The acting was still good and I really enjoyed the mysteries still. | Trick Season 3 [トリック3]

My favorite season, I think! It seemed like they were running out of ideas for mysteries though because some of them were pretty familiar. The last episode was by far the best ever! Too bad the dumb special and second movie had to screw everything up. Trick was a really funny show with great acting as well. Watch it! |
