Looking back, my most recent posts have all been rants, geek news or YouTube clips. XD So, a post with actual stuff this time, yay.
I watched two more J-Dramas; Atashinchi no Danshi and Ninkyo Helper, both of which I enjoyed very much! AnD was very fun and addictive, and it was nice seeing Kaname Jun and Mukai Osamu again (I've been seeing a lot of those two lately!). I have to admit, I did get teary during one of the last few episodes.
Ninkyo Helper. Not at all what I was expecting! From the description I was expecting some whacky Yakuza drama but it wasn't at all! Very sad and moving, cried a number of times. And the little boy! So cute, and such a good actor for someone so young! It's the first time I've watched a drama with Kusanagi from SMAP, I can see why he gets a lot of praise for his acting. Kuroki Meisa was awesome in this. On the surface, it doesn't look like she's doing much acting but the little things make her performance really good. She literally walked and talked like a guy! Very good drama, but I'm going to need something light and fluffy after this one! XD
As for One Piece, I'm finally up to the part where the big fight is about to start (I won't say what fight but those who are up to speed with the manga/anime will know what I'm referring to :P), and I think I'll post about that after I'm done with the arc. Too much epic stuff is happening, and I may annoy my f-list if I come and post about it after every episode finishes. XD So I'll wait and do a mega post later on, with many gifs and incoherant babbling I'm sure.
I also watched James Cameron's Avatar. Which is what I have to call it, cos in my mind and heart "Avatar" will always be the animated Nickelodeon series. XD I put it off this long on purpose, because everyone was going so batsh*t insane over it, and I wanted to see it with an open mind and low expectations so as to not come out disappointed. That, and paying £11 (roughly $17/$18) to see a film these days makes me very select about what I go see. I rented it on Blu-Ray, cos I figured that would probably be the best way to see it.
( No big spoilers here. )And lastly, following a recommendation by
oronoda, I've started watching Community! Only two episodes in, but I already heart Abed. XD
