What dramas you watching /jp/?

[Anonymous No.]

Currently I'm watching Death Note (ongoing)
Next week is the last show though.

And I'm currently re-watching the anime Samurai Champloo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13944589
I couldn't get past the first episode of the Death Note adaption. Akagi was a better adaption but very slow.

Only show I'm watching at the moment is Koinaka it's decent but very predictable.

[Anonymous No.]

Detective vs Detectives, I am liking it so far.

Why every otacool girl I know loves k-drama?

[Anonymous No.]

>>13945482
I could never get into k-drama even through I have tried many different shows. Their romance stories especially didn't interest me much. I don't mind some Taiwanese dramas but the sound effects are over the top. I liked 18 jin bu jin a lot when I watched it years ago but it did get progressively worse.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13945482
I like K dramas because they usually have higher production value and less cheesy acting. Still cheesy but less so imo.

[Anonymous No.]

romance a shit

[Anonymous No.]

>>13946116
Yeah I want to find good romance dramas but most of them are shit. It truly is suffering liking a genre that appeals to fujoshits and housewives.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13946064
Less cheesy? All the K-dramas I have watched had serious acting but the plot was as cheesy as it gets.

[Anonymous No.]

I just finished Marumo no Okite and it was very good.

I don't remember who suggested it to me but if it was an anon from a previous drama thread thanks for the wonderful experience.

Another great drama with similar feelings and a common actor (Mana-chan) is Ashita, Mama ga Inai.

Help me out real quick please.

So I started watching Mama ga Inai.
Seeing bossy Mana Is quite... unusual.

Anyway, Has there been a special to that series? I remember some of those faces and the name 'Locker' is familiar too...
But it was certainly not a multiple episode story.

whats going on.

Damnit. In that epsidoe Locker went 'berserk' an a random dude in public or something. And some girl stood up for him and was the only one believing in him...

It's okay the main thing that kept me watching it was the character/actor in the picture.

I love these kind of easy going girls wish i could find more shows with characters like this.

The romance plot was pretty bad though, there wasn't much chemistry and the age difference just made it even less believable.

[Anonymous No.]

I can't think of anything good involving otakus but you can try blue blazes which is an interesting take on being in a class for animators back in the day.

There is also a lot of other shows you should watch though if those are the only ones you have seen. Let me recommend some of my favourites.

Comedy - School
Samurai Highschool - It's silly fun nothing amazing
My Boss My Hero - As above
Gomen ne Seishun! - Definetely watch this

Mystery
Liar Game - First few episodes are a bit slow but it's great fun once it gets going.
Kaiji Movies - I think these are great definitely try these and watch the anime.

If you want more shows like above there are some others but they aren't as good.

Kurosagi
Bloody Monday (Season 1 atleast)

Action:
Rurouni Kenshin Movies - These are absolutely amazing, definitely watch them if you haven't already.

I can't think of much else that stands out, other people are free to recommend me shows based on the list above.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13963806
I started watching it and although Mana-chan is amazing as always I wasn't ready to feel so depressed like I did. I started relating the plot to my own life and was teary-eyed for a while.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13970923
Isn't exactly that what makes those dramas so incredible? Almost no movie/anime or what not can get me close to those feels these dramas can.

[Anonymous No.]

So, I want to talk about something.
I am a big fan of great music in films and series.
And I happen to like Jdrama a lot too.

Now, the past few dramas I had seen were pretty good but they were always lacking something. I finally realized its the music and that good music could make certain scenes even more dominant/emotional or heartbraking.

Good Music is what makes a masterpiece movie, I decided that for me long time ago.
Thats why Blade Runner or braveheart remain on the top of my favourite movies, just to name an example. And not alone because of the great story or acting but because the musical score is incredibly good.

Now, I've seen quite a few dramas.
- 1 Litre of tears
- Taiyou no uta
- Densha Otoko
- The Mana-Dramas: >>13962111
- And a hell of a lot more...

BUT none of them came close to 'Orange Days' so far. Not in the original viewing experience and certainly not a few years after when you remember them...

Hearing those tracks now makes me remember all of the scenes, everything - I am in the experience again! Something I cannot say about other dramas that I have mostly forgotten about.

Just listen to that: Its not even only 1 track, the enitre score is great:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDUk4rm1OQY

Please, recommend me 1 or 2 dramas that share an impact worthy Soundtrack. I was unable to find something matchins Orange days yet. And its not nearly as great as one of the biggest movies out there...

Yeah yeah... lower budget and shit I understand. Still...

[Anonymous No.]

>>13971189
Wow that is a beautiful song, I mentioned above that I liked this show and was going to rewatch it. I'm going to do that right now. Sadly I can't think of any other shows with a good soundtrack apart from some movies.

If you haven't already seen it watch the Kaiji movies and anime they are much better then Akagi. The Akagi Live adaption is pretty boring though the manga is better.

[Anonymous No.]

So this year's releases I've watched date, kokopoki, i'm home, youkoso wagaya e.

date - best written comedy in a while, but a bit sappy toward the end
kokopoki - pretty good, the milf is hilarious
i'm home - terrible, even for a kimutaku show
youkoso - meh

And Atami no Sosakan. Probably won't move you quite as much as Orange Days, but it's still a great OST nonetheless. It also features Gnossiene by Satie - this alone got me hooked.

I never read the Kaiji manga so I wouldn't know but they made various changes in the movies and skipped over a few things but I still thought they were good because the anime is a bit slow so they didn't have to rush too much.

If you didn't know there is a third part in the Kaiji Series that hasn't been adapted into an anime or movie. There is also another manga by the same author "Gambling Emperor Zero" which is very simmilar but hasn't got an adaption either.

Yeah I can't stand most K-dramas their adaptions of Japanese shows/anime are horrible, the romance plots are ridiculous and there is rarely any chemistry.

I can't stand anything with royalty either e.g Goong (Prince goes to school and falls in love with a school girl).

[Anonymous No.]

Do you guys think there will be any re-releases of Jdramas in Blu-Ray?

I've been watching a drama lately. It's was so incredible I wanted to let you know. Its possibly on my top 3 favourite now.

I think its quite underrated or unkown rather, for what it is. Wether you like romance, family, slice of life, crime - this one has it all.
Not only that the story is superb, the acting is fantasitc aswell. The male mainrole you might know from 'Orange Days' already (Since this drama got mentioned quite often here)
And the female Main is an instant favourite.

Give it a shot.

You know, when you've watched countless dramas and begin a new one you come to think at times:
'Ah, now this is going to happen I am sure of it...'

Or you just know how it will end or develop based on your current knowledge.

This drama takes SO many unforseen turns, but not in a bad way that would let you think its weird. Its really what makes it so great.
And rarely does a drama catch my interest after the first 30 minutes that much.

The "seed back or get banned policy" makes sense. The problem is the points obtained from seeding torrents forever is too low. I downloaded one torrent that was about 5 GB and have been seeding it for weeks but I still can't break even. At this rate I'm going to have to download only one or two torrents a year. They should increase the points you earn from seeding and make it on a per-torrent basis so more people seed more torrents.

Before anyone says this I don't want to download torrents I don't want just because they are freeleech to get upload credit.

Wow! Guys.
No need to be that hostile.

Of course a torrent system with equal seeding and leeching makes great sense in such a small community.
Of course it helps keeping old dramas alive and so and so forth.

BUT that does not mean I like it, ok?
Since way back from the popularization of torrents I had been against it and avoided using it.
Its a personal matter. Nothing more.

On top of that I dont like such score/point systems. They are flawed in my opinion.

So why did you post it to a Japanese thread?

[Anonymous No.]

>>13998802
What I read in the OP is "drama thread", not "Japanese drama thread". Even if it was, can't I? Still a drama is. And if it deserves it, why not share it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>13998819
Because this is /jp/. That should be obvious why it's supposed to be about a Japanese dramas. Nobody wants to hear about telenovelas which are dramas too.

Are you retarded?

Maybe you are since you don't seem to know they are serial dramas.

>>13998861
Or maybe nobody talked about what you talked.

Or maybe you don't know how to read a conversation. The point was don't bring in unrelated, non-Japanese dramas.

Anyone else still watching Koinaka? damn this show is so predictable. I feel like I'm just watching everything I knew was going to happen since the second episode play out in a very slow fashion with added drama.

Whats the chances that he builds her the house she wants at the end and they get married.

I'm still hoping for a twist having the doctor win her in the end.

It won't happen the aim of the show is to make viewers hate Shota so they can feel happy when the childhood friend couple ends up together.

What's the best way to watch and record NHK streams? There's a special next month that I want to get. I know about KeyHole, but I remember KeyHole being outdated (and having terrible quality anyway).

If I can't record a stream, maybe they'll sell it online or something.

music-kun reporting back.

Thank you everyone for your numerous recommendation. I was quite surprised and took note of a few of those. Thank you!

Just now I encouterd something appareantly called 'Taiga drama' - well, some historical stuff.
I am all in for historical drama/series so I went ahead, read the introduction paragraph and slapped on YT for a quick listening.
Then I realized this entire thing is may be way above 45hours long in total.

First impression are kind of Jaw-drapping.

They are generally critically and popularly praised. Ryomaden was hugely popular in Japan. But yeah, they're just so long that is takes quite a commitment.

I am through with the first 5 episodes. Its really well made and thoroughly interesting. The amount of information carried within so far is incredible. It diddn't feel like it had any fillers either.

Considering, by the length of this series, I have barley made it passed the into yet is unbelievable. It certainly is not your average family feel good drama either...

This is almost, not quite, but almost movie-tier quality. I guess the information and length makes up for it though.

I can see why it is popular.

He really isn't such a bad guy. If they wanted to make us hate him, they would have had him throw the manga away. I know it's not happening but still hoping for a different end.

Try out some Asadora if you have the time.

I finally finished Beautiful Rain and like you predicted I loved it.

Now I'm going to check out Mother.

Ah, coincidence I was just checking by myself.
Glad you liked it.

Mother is very different, but enjoyable. Be prepared.

Have you seen Rugged (2015)? Mana-chan plays in that one too, but this time as a 10-year-old girl genius who got 30 billion yen back from a scam gang.

I presume there's no NHK E stream?

Anyone here watch K-Drama as well? I've only watched those so far but for some reason I never attempted to watch J-Dramas as well.

So yeah, anything you'd consider must watche and want to recommend? I'd prefer something a bit newer/modern because those tend to have better production values. If it helps my favorite kdrama are probably Bridal Mask & I Can Hear Your Voice.

Started watching Biblia Koshodou no Jiken. Light novel adaptations really are something these days. Kind of makes me feel bad that I don't read real literature anymore, though.

Also tried to watch the original HERO after watching the 2014 one, but I couldn't understand a quarter of it so I gave up.

Look through the thread, there's been some good recommendations already.

How can we recommend when your tastes are all over the place? Bridal mask is a manga adapted action story, ICHYV is an episodic courtroom drama.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14012342
Furthermore, you want something contemporary because they have higher production value? Er, no, it's the opposite. Sageuk drama is always bigger budget.

Nah I havent. I have yet to give it a try.
Its not a story for my kind based on the descriptions. But you never know.

Its on my watch list just because of Mana anyway. I think she's still very cute! I dont understand why some say she doesnt age well.

Whatever.

If you don't mind pacing that's a bit slow and sentimentality (well, this is the drama thread) then you might want to give it a shot, it's kind of fun.

I'm only halfway through because I want to pace myself, though.
