Thanks for sharing this invaluable info!

Oh my, is crime really very prevalent there? To be honest, no, I don't think it is really. I just think people should be more careful when people flash around their ipods, cellphones, etc in the subway esp. late at night. I've seen it happen. If you're with friends you're lessing likely to be bothe...

@kylagurl: New York is a name of city and a state. The City of New York is made up of five boroughs/counties: Brooklyn (Kings County), Queens (Queens County), The Bronx (Bronx County), Staten Island (Richmond County), and Manhattan (New York County). People don't really use the county names though u...

Ahhh... finally finished this series thanks to SARS. I've got to say my favorite character in this series was Ken Watanabe's Yokoyama. My favorite episodes were the last few eps where everything came together instead of just random help the citizens of Ikebukuro eps (which of course was basically th...

I thought this drama was one of the best I've seen but that's my own opinion. I've also read the novel so I can tell you there will be differences. The main plot is pretty much the same beginning to end, which is why it still retains the title name. There's still a lot of changes though (the active ...

I wonder if it's worth reviving this thread since it's currently the JSotW ^^;; I thought the cast in this series did an amazing job! especially Yusuke Santamaria and Kanno Miho! Even the actress who played Miki-chan was amazing. I know some ppl can be critical of Kanno Miho's character, Erina-sense...

I loved the father's reaction in eps 2. He reacted to the situation just from knowing the Miki he knew and of what he himself had known about the situation prior to them telling him (which of course was absolutely nothing). It's annoying to see series sometimes have their characters get way ahead of...

I never read Hot Gimmick but I guess so many ppl can't be wrong, eh. lol.

Of the ones I read, I also think Kare Kano would make a good drama, but it might be hit or miss if they get too introspective.

I'm also thinking Aishiteruze Baby would make a cute drama.
