I'm only watching what's already on my list so that I can get it down. :) I've only watched a couple of dramas from this year because of this. I'll tackle them soon, once my challenge is over. :)

Yes, it's a mystery with some comedy.

I forgot how much I loved the show, now I can't quit watching. I fell behind halfway through the 6th season so now I'm playing catch-up.

You are in a contest where they ask you and the other teams questions that require you to answer with the name of the book and the author that the question pertains to.

We did horribly, but that was partially because we were prepared in a certain way and apparently the rules were different from what we were told. -_- I quit after one year because I was pissed!

lol I understand what you mean exactly. I struggled in the beginning because of that. Sometimes, you have to skim the descriptions. I know that sounds terrible, but if an area of the story is so description heavy that you are losing concentration..skim to get the main points until you hit some dialogue or actual plot. ^^

Battle of the Books was a program in middle school. You put together a team of book lovers, read a huge list of book ALL year and study them like crazy. I'd say there were at least twenty or thirty books listed. You only end up being tested on about ten, but you never know which ten.

Then, there comes a date where you gather with teams from all the middle schools in your district (I think there's higher levels too, like state and national? Don't know, we never got that far. lol) to be continued...

Agreed! Also, I pictured a much different look for the vampire than what they chose. It was so disappointing. You can make a couple of changes (not a ton, but a few)as long as you get the characters right. THE CHARACTERS ARE MOST IMPORTANT!!

Ooh That's a compromise. ;) I hate when a series I love ends, but there are some series that I hate because they don't end. LOL! I guess it depends on the skills of the writer. :)

Ohh I haven't paid much attention to the dramas of this year.

Agreed, they are definitely more serious.

I'm trying to watch Harvest Villa alongside Nodame, but I keep getting distracted by Bones on Netflix. lol!

Hopefully it's been postponed due to extra awesomeness being added to the script. :D

Yeah, you're right. I sometimes get the mystery and detective genres mixed up.

Well, right now I'm technically only watching two. The rest are my "waiting list" lol I'm going to watch them soon...hopefully. :) I'll definitely give TEN and GQ a try.

I really enjoyed Vampire Prosecutor, Koshonin, and Ice World. I think those are in that genre...


There are other mystery/crime solving ones that I enjoyed too. Like Mr. Brain, Mop Girl, and HUNTER. :)

I've been meaning to watch God's Quiz, I think that is on my list. I also need to watch the second season of VP. I heard they are working on a third!

Ahh Yeah. I saw your post about that. I would definitely advise waiting until you are in the mood for light romances and comedy. :)

I do! I have enjoyed most of the detective/investigation dramas that I have seen so far. ^^ Do you have a favorite detective drama?

Thanks for the friend request. :) I love Gong Hyo Jin, Yamapi, Yoon Eun Hye, and Joo Won too!

I love your avi, what's it from? :)

The trailer and synopsis are interesting. Has anyone seen the first movie? How was it?

Oh I see! That's very cool. I think you mentioned helping to rebuild houses, or am I misremembering? What other kind of service activities do you do?

Oooh 8 months is a really nice break. :) Are you on break right now?

I'm not sure. We were allowed to wear a costume last year, but our store manager has not confirmed if we can do it this year. Most likely we can't, or he would have said something by now. It really is difficult. We have to give a month's advance notice of days we need off and the managers usually deny our requests. It's frustrating. Ahh well, better to have a job and pay my bills than to be in debt and have a ton of free time. XD

Welcome to MDL! :)

She really is! I enjoyed her performance in Ace wo Nerae. :)

Not the anime, was it good?

I have heard of that movie. :)

Oooh Doubles sounds interesting. Is it currently airing?

Right now I'm really enjoying Nodame Cantabile. I also watched the first 2 episodes of Harvest Villa and it shows a lot of promise. :)

How about you? What's been good to watch lately?

Hello! It's nice to meet another fan of White Christmas. :)

lol!

I hope you find something you like. Kimi Ni Todoke is definitely good when you want to watch something sweet with very little drama. It's a nice show to watch when you need to relax. :) Same goes for Aria. It's almost soothing to watch it.

lol You have very lovely collages though. ;) I just saw a wall of text and thought...too much scrolling. Removing the extra spaces made it less annoying (to me).

Yes, but the genre also includes Godzilla, Kamen Rider. Basically anything that has very recognizable styles of special effects and the type of action that accompanies it. ^^

I love Power Rangers and Kamen Rider. And we all know I love Zilly. :p

I really enjoyed Kimi Ni Todoke. I also really enjoyed what I have seen so far of Aria and Ai Yori Aoshi. :)
