Taishi Miwa

Delayed release date.

I know. Her character will be the core for the 1st arc i beleive.

Watching this simply for Tanaka Minami lol.

The thing is, both writers for this drama are foreigners.

I like Sano, but it seems like he's struggling with the role. I can see Inukai Atsuhiro or Takashi Fumiya as Hachi.

Your usual "Anniversary (Reunion) special" of a J-drama. I doubted Sorimachi at first, but he's still killing it as Onizuka.

The story have similar formula as The movie/the 1st special but they executed it better. I think Hata Mei and Hyuga Wataru's character could be combined into 1 character to solidify the story.

Using the franchise and the lore but with original story.

A "prequel"/ follow up considering that cameo from suda Suda. But most likely a Japanese production.

They could've focused to either the divorce or daddy issue, it have a massive potential to be a classic but it turns into "reversal orchestra redux".

What surprised me is that it is more popular than Futeki lol.

Nope. Simply only 1 cameo that requires the understanding from the SM. But if you only know the actor, you will be equally surprised too.

So they're going to make Parasyte cinematic universe or the sequel/the "core" of the stories will be happening in Japan ?

Yes, but the "culture" is different compared to the 90's-early 00's.

Probably they already allocated the budget and made arrangement for the whole s**t. But given the rating it is not justified tho LOL.

Yooooo that creepy nuts cameo.

I like Sorimachi's work, but me personally can't really see a middle aged Onizuka.

One point that makes him interesting is that he is an ex-delinquent turned teacher in his 20's.

The timing. Because usually it's something like exactly on 25th years or to commemorate a milestone/manga sequel/etc.

Sorimachi is too old to play Onizuka, but we'll se how he interact with Reiwa era.

This could be a really good KR/Sentai/20 episode-ish web drama or Anime script. But way too rushed for a standard weekly renzoku.

I'll update it. Jus too lazy to do it weekly lol

That production value is good for a TV Asahi production, hopefully this should be the standard for prime time.
