Taishi Miwa

Episode 8 got the highest viewership rating so far.

Thanks to this article, i re-discover this franchise. I remember watching this as a kid together with my cousin, but I watch only one of the first two season (if I'm not mistaken).

IMO, the ending of the final movie is OK. rather than going for a "fairytale" ending, they go with the most unexpected way possible. But I think that they can do better than that. The exact person who murder Yamada's father is remained unanswered (cmiiw), Why they didn't make (him/her) the final boss instead of a random Malaysian shaman?

TV Show "Trick" (2000) always making fun of his height by making his character always hitting the doorways.

I know that it's 6 years late.

The ending means that Naoko is amnesiac (all of her memory after her first encounter with Ueda is gone).

Generational talent.

It's more about details. Some scene felt a bit weird, minor students and teachers are omitted and the school is too "empty". after episode 3 only episode 7 that feature a lot of students.

did some of the scene were shot before the pandemic?

Give it a shot, worth it.

1000%

Starting from episode 7, it's Hanzawa Naoki 2.0 !!!!!!!!!

A lot of crazy twist!

majority of this site J-drama/movie fans can't handle such thing I guess. if the movie/drama is out of their preference or if they can't handle it=bad. don't expect movie/drama like this to reach higher than 7.5 unless it's critically acclaimed in the west such as Parasite/Confessions. I bet that most of them only watch it halfway trough and then skip to the ending.

agreed, this is a wrong thing to do as a father. but at the same time he's losing a lot of money (approx 20k-30k usd) for penalty due to him terminating his contracts with some brands/shows.

Imagine Hasumin meeting Sakuragi-sensei....

Passerby is too harsh, my bad.

Something like Kobayashi cameo I guess. 5 episode left, i don't think that there's a room for her to appear in a more prominent role.

The most possible cameo for now is Ino-sensei, if one of the students didn't pass Todai and she will give (he/she) a career guidance.

it's not related because it is set in a different timeline/continuity. But the 1983 version is the core of the story.

all of the installment have the same name "Toki o Kakeru Shojo"

Partially agree, but this guy is the worst as a (divorced) father by not paying his child's financial support. although I can feel his financial struggle due to him spend a lot of money to pay penalty clause in his contract with some brand/shows.
