Man... Samurai High School is hysterical. This one is going to be my favourite this season, I can already tell. Miura Haruma is acing the samurai schtick like nobody's business -- I can still remember how last year I found him annoyingly all over the place and didn't like him at all, but now I'm really rather fond of him.

Anyway, really fun and goofy show; it's something I'd watch with kids, or even my parents -- they like the crack as I do.

Will be updating this as I watch!

Under these cuts are exciting and deep thoughts about upcoming jdramas.

In other news I am sick as a dog and also happen to be turning 24 later this month, which I don't like to think about too much.

The hotness level of BOSS is ridiculous. So good.

And, as if Amami Yuki, Takenouchi Yutaka, Tamayama Tetsuji and Toda Erika weren't enough: YAMADA TAKAYUKI IS IN THE PREVIEW FOR EP FOUR.

OMFG. SO EXCITED. I AM GOING TO WATCH IT NOW!

ps. I love Takenouchi Yutaka hitting on every and any woman in sight.

Over the weekend I acquired two jdrama related things, both on dvd:

1) the Galileo movie
2) Voice (2009) drama starring Eita, Ishihara Satomi, Ikuta Toma, etc.

I watched the Galileo movie but found it very bland, which was very disappointing. This was my reaction to the SP with Miura Haruma as young Yukawa, too... I think it's partly because both the film and the SP are too long for the admittedly gimmicky yet entertaining premise to work to its campy potential, and more importantly, not enough Utsumi. What on earth are the writers thinking? It's true that Galileo is a fun hero on his own, but without the banter and UST between the two, the whole franchise falls flat.

Now I'm off to read chick-lit and relax. I'll start on Voice this weekend, provided I can rouse myself to finally finish Love Shuffle. I'm STILL three eps to go, my brother commandeering the laptop during my marathon really made my interest level drop.
