Does Japanese television have the equivalent of a Lost or The Wire? Im interested in watching a show thats actually pretty good. I'd prefer something thats not a comedy but if the best of the best are comedies I'll settle for that.

So far the only shows I've seen that are worth a damn are GTO, Densha Otoko, and I'm almost done with Nodame Cantabile although it was no where near as good as the previous two. Anything on par with these?

Haven't watched a lot of Japanese Dramas but heard that it's hard to watch them seriously.

So are GTO and Densha really the cream of the crop?

House is formulaic but I find it enjoyable nonetheless

Do you have Discovery Channel, TLC, and similar channels with reality/documentary shows? You could spend hours learning interesting and useless shit

House is godawful compared to Lost, and neither comes close to the wire. You only like House because you're like him without being successful

So I was sitting in the middle of Japanese class, and opened up my Genki textbook, and saw Meari-san staring at me, somehow this really turned me on, so I started fapping right there, thankfully no one noticed since I sit way in the back corner, when I came to climax, I put my book under my desk and came all over Meari's face, and then I shut the book and left it like that until the end of the semester and resold the book to the bookstore.

Wow, the only Japanese Drama you watch are based on a manga of some sort. You know there are so god-tier shows that are out there that have zero basis on otaku-culture and are DAMN good. But I question your taste in "good" shows

Lost was actually good in the first season. Then it became some warped twisted parody of itself, I don't know how people can watch it and not think it is the stupidest fucking shit possible.

Can you list some of these damn good ones then?

I don't read manga or watch anime, those are just the shows that actually kept my interest past the first episode.
