Thank you to everyone participating in the discussion! Smile I hope everyone is aware that Airashii FanSubs will post subs on this thread as soon as they are ready, each week. (Expect them around Wednesday each week, but please don't be mad with us if ever we are late! pinch We'll try to keep everyone updated on the progress. You may consider joining our LiveJournal community. Thank you if you do!)

Yep Yep. Just as you said. LMAO

Tatsuri, have you also read the rest of my post? Smile

It's great to see there are many people that have been drama fans for quite a while already, and are familiar with GTO, Gokusen, My Boss My Hero, and other school dramas. Maybe you'll want to give this particular series a pass, if you are already bored with the genre pinch

I'm sure, however, that there are many people watching it for whom it is their first school drama. Or, who never get tired of seeing the transformation one dedicated, loving, perseverant, courageous individual, who is not afraid of sacrificing a lot for his or her loved ones, is able to work in their hearts and their lives Wub

Just like aatm said, we already know (or hope we know!) the ending to the series. In this respect, school dramas are like Jane Austen novels: we can already count on the happy outcome. The question is not: what will happen in the end? But: how will they get there?

That's why, even after watching Gokusen 1 and 2, and GTO, and My Boss My Hero, and Long Love Letter, I'm looking forward to each episode of Seito Shokun! Smile

If there are more people reading this thread for whom the theme is new, or people who are enjoying it nevertheless, I encourage you to post your thoughts!

point well taken. granted, it does seem darker than Gokusen, which is the only one of the school drama's I've seen so far...after finishing Nodame Cantabile, maybe I'll watch Long Love Letter, as I have it already...waiting to be watched.

but yes, i suppose it'lll be interesting to see how they all go from creepy little zombie kids to valuing and appreciating life in all respects.

Hello, Ela!! Smile Welcome on d-addicts!

kawaiimomo, I share your feelings! Laugh Wub

aatm, thank you for the kind response Smile and yes, do watch LLL. It's a real gem. Wub

shinhaku, "My dear students" was the best way I found to express in English the original, which is more like "Messieurs les élèves" (in French) or "Domnilor elevi" (in Romanian, my own language, not that it would make much sense to most anyone here pinch ) or even "Ladies and gentlemen", with the mention that the ladies and the gentlemen in question are students!! Laugh (seito = student, or students; shokun = gentlemen, and also - a form of address)

So, the idea seems to be that Kitashiro-sensei addresses her students in a way that shows she respects them as mature people and is also challenging them to be just that!!! At least, so far as I can understand it... Roll Eyes

If anyone could give us better explanations, or even a better translation of the title, that would be really welcome! Smile

thanks for the explaination Smile, i'm dling ep 2 now, this series is not bad, the 3TD seems to be a new thing comparing to other school dramas. I must say boys grow so quick, i just watched their dramas last year or so and they were playing elementary kids and now they're like super tall pinch. Maki and Hongo starred in the movie Hinokio pinch. I like the kid who starred in Queen's classroom but forgot his name pinch. Hongo always get the cool + calm role pinch. I like that kid pinch. His name is kinda unique too pinch

I almost lost my breath when I saw maki in it. I didn't know....I had no idea. Anyways, the teacher is hot as well. She's very athletic and got a nice body. I usually don't notice J-girl's body that much, but she got a nice one. Show is okay. The idea seems great, but just didn't go through. I'll watch the rest, but not a keeper.

just watched ep 1..dont really know what to think of it. i could hardly get through the whole episode it was that bad. its quite lame in my opinion
been done too many times before, and this is done worse than its predecessors. ie. gokusen, gto, etc.
so many cliche things in here, such as the hot english teacher who has absolutely nothing to contribute to the storyline

the acting is quite bad too, mostly from the teaching staff. not talking about naoko though, she is not too bad

i wonder if maki will have a bigger role in this drama in later episodes, she only really got one scene when she was sitting on the piano

anyway like most dramas, ill stick around for a few more episodes and see how it pans out..

the only thing i liked about this so far is the yui ed lol Roll Eyes

I was getting bored, but by the end of episode 2, it was starting to get interesting. Don't get me wrong, not a keeper and very corny, but I like to see what happens next.

Hidden:

ep2, the students hate teachers cuz their homeroom teacher from last year ditched them in the woods...LOL! As a result, they hate teachers. What a bunch of woosies! How stupid to judge all teachers by one? It's funny how they were all happy go lucky with their old teacher. I just wanted to hug somebody cuz everybody was so happy...haha.

Cool + calm probably describes this one and the one from his Prince of Tennis movie, but i would also say his characters always has some kind of attitude problem
Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

plus the kid looks like he always gets pissed off about something so easily

I like Seito Shokun!! I think so far the best episode is the 2nd one. By the end of the episode I was crying and was sooooo angry at the ugly and selfish teacher. It's a pity Maki's scenes are very little. i think the episode with the most scenes of Maki is the 2nd epidsode and that was the BEST! But no worries!! Next episode is Nakki vs 3TD. So Maki will appear more often. Anyway, have I ever mentioned 3TD is so cool! Tho they're a little despicable at times. But it's understandable after learning about their past. They are kids after all who want to protect their classmates from those evil and unfeeling teachers of that school. they have seen the teachers real colours
