Is there a subbing group that will sub this?

[dochira]

I don't know if a particular "group" is doing it. I know that qoogirl on d-addicts (yume??) is subbing it in her spare time. In fact episode one has soft-subs there.

They are subtitles that are not embedded in the video. They are overlayed on top at playback time.

[lightningemperor]

if those are english, then awesome! thanks for the info.

All I saw were Chinese though...

My Review: 6/10 (the ending was just )

I just finished watching Grumpy Gene. Say what?!

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

I have NO idea what happened at the end. The main character, Jinko, obviously chose her career over love, but then she regretted it? Does that explain the tears? So�c wait, I don�ft get it�c

This drama was a huge disappointment for me. To be fair, the first six episodes were great. The first two episodes really showed some promise. I liked the way everything was directed, I loved the little claymation intros, and I was really into the whole research/science/education element of the plot. When the love story revolving Jinko blossomed, I felt it was nicely integrated with the storyline. However, by episode 7 (or perhaps a bit before), things started to go downhill. The whole atmosphere, or �gfeel�h, of the drama changed completely. The story lost focus and if it hadn�ft been for Takeuchi Yuko�fs consistent acting, the last episodes would have seemed a completely separate drama. And a bad one, at that.

Takeuchi Yuko was great, as usual, and even though she couldn�ft save this drama from sinking, I�fm glad I could watch her on screen again. Uchino Masaaki was surprisingly charismatic and I enjoyed him quite a bit, and only slightly less than Kobayashi Satomi, who I thought was great. All the other actors (and we�fre talking big names here) were severely underused and abused.

The ending of the drama, from what I�fve pieced together, was lame and unsuccessful. The drama as a whole has left a bitter taste in my mouth. What started off as a great, well directed series has ended up being a dust collector.

The words I told ya so seem to be fitting....but then again I felt like you did so it's not like I don't know and appreciate the feeling.

As I said, it just fell apart after the mid point. I thought it could have been much funnier....

Omg, I forgot to add that!

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

It started off as a definite comedy, and then sorta phased into an angsty mess. What was up with that?!

I guess neither of us are surprised by the downward trend....man, it even had Yamada Yu in it....but she really had just a minor role. She had a bigger supporting role in Orange Days, really.
