Zulu-Niner

I'd add Satoshi Miki's other earlier works like Instant Numa and Turtles Swim Faster Than Expected. Too bad he is no longer making comedies, his recent works have been increasingly darker (see Atami no Sousakan and Ore Ore).

LOL at Lord Gyoooten and Duck Face/Koutou Yuumin thingy XD

I second Yuusha series! Mep mep Merebu!!! Sweets!! Nanisama!

I wanna pinch her cheeks XD

Facts that why she hasn't been featured by festival filmmakers are just beyond me, considering compared to most other wonderkids she has been around for quite some times. I do hope she will grab more attention she deserves.

more than good

It's Androp, but I can't recall the title. I like the theme song in the drama better though. Anyway, you'd better download them all, it's worth the effort.

It's like a cross between Kekkon Dekinai Otoko and Densha Otoko. Or an exaggerated version of the former. Definitely my penultimate favorite this season, Mondai Restaurant is also good and enjoyable though, but Date is on another level.

She may appear on episode 7 onwards, since the Helium-Voiced connoiseur told Tamako that she needs her to sue the boss.

The 'educated idler' thingy is insanely funny, I wonder why this guy could become that way.

LOL the dialogue is insanely funny! As long as they don't repeat the same pattern as the first episode, it can be potentially good.

About the drama - SEE IT. It is much better than the movie.

Not as good as the series, but still got good acting all around from everyone and several nice dialogue between the characters nonetheless. It was filmed a year after the series had been, some of the students were too old and no longer convincing as middle schoolers though.

All hail Cosme

Someone needs to change the preview picture. I think Yuji Sakamoto intends to do a character-based dorama, with numerous point of view upon the story (think the likes of Kirishima Bukatsu). The ugly truth is that the main antagonists are quite evil and I fear there are not enough time to put on character layers into them.

her lips!!!

The first half is very good and funny, I like the acting (esp. Hiroki Hasegawa, he really stands out in this), the pace and the dry humour. However, the second falls apart and doesn't meet my expectation. The special effects during the massacre scene is too crude to my liking (though some refer this blemish as intentional, as this is a letter to today's filmmakers who lost the gusto and idealism they had, but still).

I can't believe this is a late-night dorama, they made good use of cinematography and even special effects. Shunji Iwai and other movie guys have to be given more chance to handle experimental doramas like this.

Agreed with you, although I think your refereeing is a bit over the top, at least someone new in jdrama who hasn't watched the previous seasons would still be entertained. The third season lacks charm it has in the previous two season.

OMG this show is so funny, esp. Honoo and the crazy genius Hideaki Anno.

Easily the most underrated dorama in the last 5 years - refreshing, warm, meaningful and of course funny. It hints a lot of details that already appeared in their (yes, Kizara Izumi are a screenwriter duo) previous, even lesser-known to mainstream dorama enthusiasts called Suika (which is a favorite of mine, I urge you guys to watch this amazing show as well).
