Kotaro notices that he has the same name and age as the general described in the book, and he experiences a flashback... Kotaro later mentions the book to his father, who tells him that he may be the descendent of a powerful samurai.

I can't help but notice that they chose Shirota Yu to play as Mochizuki Kotaro's supposed "vassal". And ironically, Shirota Yu is also currently casted in Tenchijin as Sanada Yukimura, whose vassal is none other than Mochizuki Kotaro. Roll Eyes

Yes, he is a vassal again in here but with so much different in both of his characters. notice him for the first time in Hana Kimi and noticed him again in Tenchijin but could not believe my eyes when i saw him in highschool samurai. his role is not that inetersting at the moment(maybe it will get better in future eps) but he was kind of annoying in first 2 eps. i think he just does not fit this character. he is too old for a highschool boy role.

miura just barely can convince you but not shirota yuu. same goes with Ann because we saw her in Karei-naru Spy as a journalist and now to be back in high school is a bit hard to believe.
apart from above, i kind of finding this drama funny and intersting. it's my guilty pleasure watch Tongue

Sigh,,,you can't have softsubs cause they never release them, plus you cannot even ask them for them, so forget about them.

I think we shouldn't focus too much on the aspect that they are playing high school characters but more on how they perform the different personalities of the characters! ^^

I also think Shirota looks much too big for a high schooler but him acting as a coward or wimp is actually okay... it could be a bit better maybe but I don't think he failed it.

For Miura I think he could easily pull it off to be two completely different persons Suprise even voice and facial expressions were changed which made it very impressive.

And yes playing a high schooler or a journalist is of course different level but I would think if she already did a great job acting as a journalist it might be an easy job for her now to play a high school student.
If it's not convincing for you then probably because you watched it in this order. The other way round people would surely think how amazing she developed.
But that's exactly the point why I don't try to compare roles especially not fom different genres.


@Aikawa Ringo:
Why is it so hard to download the hardsubbed version again? Blink

Yeah I agree his built and facial features doesn't quite suit the wimpy role he's playing for this drama. Maybe his character will evolve into something that'll match up.

It made me extremely giddy when I saw that they credited Hamada Britney as the "gal-speak consultant". w00t

It took me a good 5 seconds to work out what the librarian meant by ぱんピー. Roll Eyes

Heh, yeah kind of funny that a drama would use such a "consultant" and have the need to credit her "work" for it. Mr. Green

I tried to watch the RAW, but I have no idea what they're talking about half the time. So, I'm still waiting for TimeLess. Though, it looked like an interesting drama. Miura looked different from his Bloody Monday & Gokusen 3 days, so... I hope it'll be a good drama at least...

to be honest, it is very hard not to focus about them being highschoolers when most of drama happens in the high school. and if this was not the case, then any actor/actress in 20s can play their role and they might be even better in performing different personalities.
these little details what makes drama a great one or a failure. you have to believe in their characters first to start enjoying it. Cool
I don't what is it but there is something about Yuu's character and his way of acting in here that is annoys me.
at the moment, my only fun is watching Miura/kotaro character. so funny Laugh
