I just finished episode 5 and so far it's just Ayumu getting beaten to ****. Sorry but it's sooooooo stupid. I can't watch it without going "OMFG, what is wrong with you?! Just stand up and fight back, don't just sit there and take the abuse smile and go home! Do something!!!"

In reality, no girl would take that crap.


It may sound stupid for you but it's reality, those kind of things really happen even if it's hard to imagine -and understand-
and it's easy to said that you'll fight back if something like that happen but if you're fight back, the bullying is worst ect ect. and as someone said earlier, japanese society is way different from occidental's one.

I've just began to re-watch Life (for the second time)
The first time I was able to watch it on Veoh, before the complete episodes were removed/or you have to have Veoh TV installed. (Don't really know, I don't keep an eye on Veoh that much nowdays).
Anyway, there is this quote written on a paper placed on door in ep 1: This months motto: "A considerate heart"
I just love these small notes. It was interesting that SOS picked up that one. It got my attention.
It's a very varied dresscode in this drama, Ayumu, Manami and Hiro are wearing different sort of uniforms.
Or maybe it has to do with the cost production of the drama.

LIFE was kick A**! I too am watching it for the second time and its even better than the first time. Who knew Japanese high school girls could be so cruel Laugh . I was like gosh Suprise ! It taught me valuable lessons and really touched me at some points. Def suggest watching it. I watched the whole thing in one day non-stop, back to back no-eating or sleeping lol

...and yeah, about what that person said, I know it would be hard for me to stand up for myself and fight back ( Whistling 1 vs 5.) It also depends on the kind of person you are. If you watch the series to the END, you will understand her reasons for not fighting back thumright

I watched this in a marathon during xmas holz but haven't had time to comment about it~~
I think it was nicely done and it's really cruel to see kids like that but school IS full of bullying (just maybe not that extreme)

the drama brought up a lot of "life" themes for teenagers( no pun intended hhaha)... got me thinkin about it too~
it's sad that the bf went completely nuts but in the meanwhile he really freaked me out anyways

I just finished it and i'm planning to watch it again. Yes, it's that good.

Kudos to the cast who has done an incredibly great performance.

eh really they're going to make a second season ?
that'll be great but I hope it won't be the same thing... most of the time when high school dramas (well I know LIFE is kinda different, but still) have another season, it gets really boring because the plot and sorty are the same as the previous one :/
it's better to stop with a good impression with the first season imo Smile

In reality...many many many girls (and BOYS) and if you are a girl and were put in that position you would take it and that's the end of it. You're one against 5...do you really think you stand a chance? You'd rather just take what they give you without a fight because you could expect to get more and far worse and probably from more of their crew in future if you were able to hit one of them.

You have to be realistic about it and you're system isn't.

People find it better in the long run to take the abuse with a smile because people get bored and then ignore you and leave it at that or torture you for a bit, but when they can't get any emotion or reaction out of you they dump the idea.

You would be surprised. This **** actually happens just not usually on this level. Some people can't stand up for themselves. Besides their society is a bit different than the US.


I don't know what you mean about different. If society was that different then people wouldn't get bullied in the US or they would get bullied in the US but not in Japan. Apparently society is not different, and normally not the reaction of the weak.

Only in the US those who are being bullied are known to react violently...extremely violently. Take for instance Columbine. I hate that most people, especially the adults, were like look at these kids what were they're parents teaching them. Or they attacked K-mart for selling the guns. No one said anything about the high school atmosphere. I'm not saying all teenagers do it, but some teenagers react this way. I know many kids had kill lists in my school because of the bullying they were getting.

Those Columbine boys were known as being bullied by jocks regularly and mistreated and no one did a damn thing to help them or make it stop. It just kept going on. A lot of people were blaming music which was non-sense no one even looked at the school and every school in the US kids are bullied. No one is the exception. If someone doesn't like you, a group of others will make fun of you, torture you and pretty much make your life a living hell. Those Columbine kids reacted by doing taht and the infamous movie entitled BULLY which was based on a true story of Florida teens killing a kid who was bullying them.

Some reactions are less violent than others, but in the end the one bullied will always live with that pain and it's a pain that doesn't go away, unfortunately.

Check out the film BULLY from the US with Nick Stahl. It's based on a true story and it happens in real life and sometimes 10x worse.

I was told that FUJI TV anounced a LIFE SP for Summer 2008.
Can anybody who is japanese confirm this? The announcement was on Friday.

To me it would make sense since LIFE aired during summer season 2007.
One year later a SP. Also, stop discussing about a second season. What's the sense in making a second season with the same storyline? A SP would make more sense xpecially since there wasn't a real ending.

Search under RAIFU instead of LIFE. It's the literal rominization of the word from Japanese which the fansubbers have been uploading it under.
