Taking a well-deserved break, I hope...

It's been literal ages since I've posted in here (same goes for everyone else too, haha). I just started watching 1 Litre of Tears and it made me remember the great times had in these threads.

I'm so out of touch with like any form of Japanese media that I don't even know where I'd begin to decide on new dramas to watch or anything. Heck, I'm surprised I've kept up with KR Gaim thus far.

So uh, yeah. Necro post and stuff.

My lord have mercy on "your feels"...........because your ass will be broken before you even reach halfway into the series.

That ends my warning. But nice seeing you around, Algo :thumbs:

Aaah, yeah, this one kinda goes hard right out of the gate. Jesus, I knew it was gonna be a sad one, but this one's up there. Not as bad as Honey and Clover, I don't think, but still.

And yeah, I'll try and poke in more now that there's a good possibility I'll have a bit of a normal schedule.

How've you been dude?

It's been while since I've posted in here either. Hell, the last few times I've posted in here, I'm pretty sure I've said the exact same thing. it's weird but its cool to see this thread still kicking all these years later. Fun times have been had here.

As for j-dramas, I've been out of the loop a tad bit recently. I think the last drama I saw in full was Lucky 7 with Matsumoto Jun from Arashi. That was a fun watch. I'm watching Kamen Teacher now for a review series I'm doing and I really like it so far.

We never really got to see him do it that much during his time on Shinkenger, but Matsuzaka Tori (aka Shiba Takeru/ShinkenRed) does know how to smile & joke around. Watch him on a Japanese dokkiri show (basically, getting "punk'd").
