Re: [Discussion] Idaten
I highly doubt that *that* is the only reason. Inasmuch as it pains me to say this, Taiga drama ratings have been in steady decline for years now. Some problems cited are: poor scriptwriting/'dumbing down' the historical aspect of the story; lower production values; casting popular albeit inexperien...

Re: [Discussion] Idaten
Even with the declining quality of taiga dramas, I'd like to remain optimistic about Idaten. Kudo Kankuro is a master at bringing cohesion in storytelling. There's got to be enough material for him to work with and stretch because of recorded history and footage. Perhaps introduce other athletes or ...

I finished this drama and have to say that I liked it throughout. I've said before that I'm a wimp when it comes to dramas about heavy subjects. I don't often choose to watch them, but this was a welcome change. The actors were great and very natural in their acting, most notably-- Ogata Ken, Nakai ...

Anyway, I have a theory about Ito-sensei and if proven correct in later episodes, this is a spoiler: 13:18 minutes into Episode 3, Ito-sensei is walking and stops for a moment, almost nostalgic, to look a store-front with Hangul writing on the glas...

First, this TBS dorama is getting on my nerves. It's total BS. I can't believe that a Japanese person actually wrote this dorama. Has he lived in a bubble or warped world all this time?

I just watched Episode 1 (which debuted at a respectable rating of 11.7%). The subject matter is a bit heavy than what I usually watch, and it tugs on the heartstrings, but it's promising so I'll watch 'til the end. I think Matsumoto Jun is pretty good in this one. Nakai Kiichi is solid. And Aragaki...

Finished watching Episode 7. Just a quick comment about the acting-- Kimura Ryo's acting in the role of Taka-chan is a standout in this drama. I didn't think I'd actually change my mind about him as an actor. This guy's not just a pretty face. He's come a long way from playing that rich brat in Wate...

As XrayMind mentioned, LA and I assume KTSF will also receive SD. The reason being is that TV JAPAN itself hasn't started transmitting NHK shows with English subtitles in wide-screen format.
