Anyone who follows JDrama seasons; I was wondering based on what I've already watched is there any 2011/2012 JDramas you think I've missed out on or JDramas that shouldn't be ignored even if the synopsis doesn't make it sound good. So unexpected, not what it seems etc? Dramas I've seen etc. 2011: *Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta, *Quartet, *Misaki Number One!!, Bartender, *SCHOOL!!, Muscle Girl, *Asuko March!, *Zenkai Girl, IS, *Arakawa Under the Bridge, *Hi wa Mata Noboru, *Soredemo Ikite Yuku, Ikemen desu ne, *Ouran High School Host Club, Don Quixote, *Kingyo Club, *Hanazakari no Kimitachi e 2011, *HUNTER ~Sono Onnatachi, Shoukin Kasegi~, *Last Money ~Ai no Nedan~, *Yokai Ningen Bem, *Boku to Star no 99 Nichi, *SIGN. (Dropped/On-Hold: BOSS 2, Rebound, Inu wo Kau to Iu Koto, Shima Shima, Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro, Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de) 2012: *Lucky Seven, Hungry!, *Risou no Musuko, *Switch Girl!! 1/2, *Bunshin, *Beginners!, *Aozora no Tamago, *Papadol!, *Mou Ichido Kimi ni Propose, *Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou, *Kazoku no Uta, *Rich Man Poor Woman, GTO, *Boys on the Run, *Sprout, *Osozaki no Himawari, *Piece. (Dropped/On-Hold: Suugaku♥Joshi Gakuen, Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata ~Ending Planner~, Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri, Akumu-chan) *Ones I actually enjoyed. I also have a bunch queued up from Winter 2013 (Just waiting for subs to be completed before I start them) but do you feel there is anything else not to be missed I should add to my queue? Winter 2013 queue: Last Hope, Itsuka Hi no Ataru Basho de, Share House no Koibito, Saikou no Rikon, Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi, Karamazov no Kyoudai, Shinryochu, xxxHOLiC. Just worried I'll skip out on something really good by accident. :)
maybe you can give a shot to Tokyo Zenryoku Shoujo :) I enjoyed it, and Miura Shohei is super cute, as always (although he only has a supporting role, he appears in almost every episode) And I also liked Sengyou Shufu Tantei, Tokyo Airport, Nobunaga no chef (it's a 2013 drama, but already finished, and has subtitles on dramacrazy) Himitsu no kankei~Sensei wa doukyonin was very good! It has only 3 episodes, but I loved them. I don't know about the subs though, I downloaded the drama from d-addicts, and watched without subtitles. But this one is easy to understand ^^ a romantic story between a high school girl and her teacher :)
this season is rubbish. better off waiting for the next
I have to recommend you Kagi no kakatta heya of the 2012 season, as well as Priceless. for 2011, definitely Nankyoku Tairiku. what about those you put on hold? do you plan to watch them later? I enjoyed a lot Nazotoki, as well as Mikeneko (not totally subbed though), Akumu-chan, ending planner and Boss 2. nevertheless, not so original plots...
csilichan: Thanks I will check Tokyo Zenryoku Shoujo. Hadn't really considered it but I love Miura Shohei. So definitely one for the list. Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll check them out. :) bannie: I don't know. I have quite a few I've enjoyed quite a lot recently. SumiTheCat: I tried Priceless but stopped after the first 5 minutes. Might try again at some point. But I will check Kagi no kakatta heya, been hearing good things. Nankyoku Tairiku didn't really appeal but may try it if I find the time. The stuff I dropped or put on hold is usually because it just didn't interest me or I found it boring. I may try to finish them at some point though. :)
