1. Tiger and Dragon (the writing is just brilliant!)
2. Love Generation
3. Hero

For #3, it's a toss up between a number of KimuTaku dramas, but Hero is probably one of the funnier ones.

I dont think new shows "suck", they ARE better. try get a copy of say Orange days, then get a copy of Hana Yori Dango. now compare them. hana yori dango is just made better. Not grainy and outta focus tv rips. I love wide screen stuff, i love high def stuff, i need my eye candy, I want my bling bling!!
Sure sure, orange days (im using this show for example) is one of the greatest show made but it just looked "aged".

so, when I pick my fav, i weigh how it looks, how its filmed, hows the story etc. so, if a show had great story (summer snow, long vacation, beautiful life) but just looked yuk, i cant rank it as my favorite of all time.

oo, and i have no clue who "johnny" is.

I was thinking the same thing...

howzitboy... How can the video quality be more important than the drama itself? Personally I'll watch anything (VHS-rip etc) if it's a good drama... Smile

My list:

1. Beautiful Life
2. Long Vacation
3. Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake

1. Tiger & Dragon (really life-altering, a different genre altogether!)
2. Shomuni (powerful under-rated women who cannot be messed with)
3. Hotman (adaptated from the manga filled with emotional family drama)

There are others as well like Hero (Takuya Kimura really shines here) and Dragon Zakura (Abe Hiroshi is da man!), Gokusen (so-so, but I prefer the manga any day) and Nobuta Wo Produce (funny as hell) and My Boss, My Hero (love this only because of Nagase Tomoya, see no. 1 pick), and of course, GTO (a true classic!).

But those top three are what really captures me the most.

*I don't mean to offend anyone, but like any surveys, dont you think that people will be prone to list dramas that they've watched most recently?


I just finished another update and most of the stuff in the Top 10 are old. Heck, Long Vacation is from 1996! But yeah, every survey has flaws, the biggest one here is that few have seen all the dramas on the list. If they had, maybe Maho no Jouken would rank higher? ;)

Hm, Orange Days didn't look much different from HanaDan or any recent drama. I think most dramas filmed after Japan went widescreen in the early 2000s look about the same. Then again, if you're comparing fansubs, *I think* Orange Days was ripped from a DVD, and HanaDan was ripped from HDTV so that might explain it.

Still, check out Odoru Daisousasen . . it's 1997 but surprisingly looks better than a lot of the recent dramas I've seen. I don't think it's the encoding . . my guess is that after Japan went widescreen, it cost more to film a series so they just cut back a bit on the film. ;)

So I disagree, but eh, everyone's view of what's good is different so it's cool.

I feel the same way. I even watch crappy dramas all the way to the end juuuuust in case.

Just a few weeks ago, by request, I burned a copy of Ohsama no Resutoran for my old Japanese lit professor. The new DVD rips were just getting posted then so I told her that if she didn't mind waiting, I would have a better quality version. When explaining how "bad" the quality of the version I already had was, I told her it would be the same as watching a tape. This got her all excited since part of the reason she wanted to see the show again was nostalgia. The "aged" look of the show would only enhance this. I wound up watching the show over again and was glad I did. I realized that I'd just be wasting my effort and bandwidth by downloading the DVD rip.

What was really strange was that I followed it up with Double Kitchen and another drama that was a VHS rip before moving to Kekkon Dekinai Otoko. For the first few episodes, the show felt a little...I don't know... sterile. It's like it was missing a certain warmth that came with the old grainy and worn video so it took me a bit to readjust.

I get the same feeling with music. For weeks I would hear a particular Chinese pop song played on the radio or on the loudspeakers in various stores/restaurants. Once I figured out who it was and bought the CD or downloaded the song, it wasn't the same as hearing it in radio-quality. The moral of the story? Avoid public places! Eh? What I say?!

But we digress. What a nifty thread. So glad GTO is getting pretty good results.
