Lovely Complex (anime)

So sad!!! The anime series has ended!!! With only 24 episodes, i thought it could have gone on and on longer actually, coz the manga is still running… haizz..

I reali like this anime alot.. gd times and bad times.. Let me refresh ur memory, its abt Koizumi Risa who is this tall girl at 170cm and also Otani who is a short guy at 156cm.. haha.. who knew thatRisa who fall in love wif Otani and thus chasing him till he finally loved her back..

Wat i love abt this anime is that, its not boring at all.. its juz so heartwarming and funny. Love it when Risa and Otani make all weird faces.. I’m juz glad that the manga is still running if not i’ll prob be depressed coz its juz so funny!

Some pics off this real sweet anime…

Hana Yori Dango Return (Season 2)

Wat can i say…. Hana Yori Dango reali had a great run… Now back with Season 2.. with onli a short 11 episodes.. I watched the entire series and completed in on Monday.. Here’s gist of this season..

This second season of Hana Yori Dango picks up right after Domyouji leaves for New York. After confessing to Domyouji, Makino has not spoken to him for a year. Rui and the other members of F4 try and help Makino meet Domyouji again by going to New York for the christmas holidays. Though F4 and Makino meet Domyouji again, he has become a completely different person, and so they leave for Japan.

Some time later, Domyouji’s mother annouces that they will be returning to Japan. There, they hold a giant super-rich and classy birthday party for Domyouji and annouce something very important. Domyouji, like in the first season, is engaged to a rich girl and heir. The only difference is that they are to be wed soon. What will Makino do?

On the side, Rui begins to fall in love with Makino… will this become a love… square? (Taken frm http://idols-unlimited.com/?s=oguri)

U noe, i am juz surprised at how much i enjoyed this series.. even though its part 2, and usually ppl feel that once a great drama had a great 1st season den they shldnt continue coz it may not live up to expections.. BUT!!! OH MY LORD!!! DAMN NICE SIA!!! I kinda started watching it coz i like Oguri Shun who plays Hanazawa Rui BUT i ended up goin nuts over Matsumoto Jun who plays Domyoji Tsukasa… U noe, he’s reali different frm Jerry Yen (Taiwan F4), when Matsumoto gets violet and angry… damn its super scary! And when he’s like in a funny mode or joker mode, its juz so funny that u laugh out loud and say “Baka!”.. haha.. Damn gd of actor… And he’s the kind that slowly gets ur heart..

I also like Inoue Mao who plays Makino Tsukushi.. Man i tink he rocks.. She’s reali funny and yet heartfelt too… Man! Japanese dramas rock man!!!

U noe wat… my Ikuta Toma played a great role in the 1st episode! haha..He was tis bad ass that was acting like a goody goo… My lord, i was surprised how evil he cld get… ahhh.. melt me away Toma Chan! haha… ohhh swoon swoon..

Hana Kimi (Japan)

Thanks a whole bunch to Ayu for introducing this show to me. I am seriously addicted to this show. I watch it every week sia! Basically i kinda noe abt this show coz i have the manga and also watched the Taiwanese version. So far there is 11 episodes, but i tink its goin to end at 12 episodes. As Japanese dramas are usually short, it doesnt exactly follow the manga BUT I LOVE IT!!!! Even though some parts are different and it is extremely exaggerated BUT its juz super super funny. I love every part of it. From the eccentric to the extremely comical but yet it seemed so normal. U noe, like Taiwan dramas they act exaggeratedly and it shows coz it looks sometimes overdone. But for the Japanese version, even though its exaggerated but its so enjoyable and juz funny to watch.

Wat can i say, i have fallen in love wif the two main guy characters in the show. Namely Oguri Shun as Sano Izumi and Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu Shuichi. AHHHHHHHH… they r juz to die for i tell u, to die for!!!! Both completely diff characters, one cold and moody while the other a sunshine boy. In fact, for my preference i tink they did the better job den the cast of the Taiwan drama. I felt that the roles suited them more, or maybe they had it down pat!

This show is abt a girl Ashiya Mizuki (Horikita Maki) who idolises Sano the high jumper and gets into a boys school dressin herself as a BOY! haha.. Sano of coz realises this fact quite early but Mizuki doesnt noe that of coz.

And another point i have to make is that Horikita Maki ROCKS man!!! She’s juz so funny and juz super cool in Hana Kimi. Not like Ella, who i tink was juz gross in the other version. In this Japanese version, i felt that she was kinda like a guy and yet she was also like a girl. I tink she’s reali pretty.

Here’s some screenshots… This drama rocks my socks off sia!!! Oh ya, this cast has the best lookin guys man.. haha… Had lots of gd laugh watching this show. haha.. esp the liar detector part! haha.. and also of coz when Nakatsu proclaimed that he wasnt homo.. haha.. wearing a panty and bra! haha.. he rocks!!

Horikita Maki

Oguri Shun..woo handsome..

MY fav Ikuta Toma..Super funny!

HAHA look at that cute face of his!!!

Hana Yori Dango (Season 1)

Wat can i say… I’m addicted to this Japanese drama.. Its actually based on the manga of the same name.. Hana Yori Dango..Boys over Flower.. Yes yes yes.. Its the same as one of my fav Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden.. starring F4 of coz..

I was not reali expecting much out of it coz Meteor Garden proved to be a smash hit and not onli that, the guys r juz to die for.. especially my Daoming Si!!! JERRY YEN!!! haha… BUT when i 1st started watching the 1st episode of the Japanese version.. i was hooked..totally addicted!!! ARRRUUGGGHHH y is it so nice sia!!!!

The storyline is kinda the same, onli a little diff here and there but reali nice man.. The girl is totally different frm Da S.. And i reali like her.. She plays Makino Tsukushi , the main female lead..Her name is Inoue Mao. At 1st i was like oh come on who can beat Jerry Yen playing Daoming Si sia.. but Matsumoto Jun who plays Doumyouji Tsukasa is actually quite convincing.. haha although my Jerry Yen is for sure the much better lookin but he carries the role veri well.. I”M HOOKED. And He grows on u u noe.. those kind of guys.. haha.. after watching the entire 9 episodes… I tink he’s hot.. i cant believe it too but yes i tink he is…. haha

And my other new fav is the guy who plays Hanazawa Rui is Oguri Shun.. i actually feel that he was juz okok in here. I tot that Zai Zai played this role beta.. But i like Oguri Shun in the current Hana Kimi for sure.. HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE.. haha.. a cold, moody man..

The storyline and and reali moves well… although it is juz a short 9 episodes.. It is enough to leave a lasting impression.. Ok i will also start on watching season 2! Haha..

Plot: (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1863)

Kyoko has devoted her life to Shotaro. When Shotaro came to Tokyo to debut as a singer, she followed him and worked to provide for him. But one day, Kyoko overhears Shota telling his manager that Kyoko means nothing to him. She’s just convenient, a housekeeper. This makes Kyoko furious, and she vows revenge on Shotaro. But Shotaro just laughs at her, saying she won’t be able to touch him because he’s now a popular singer and she’s a nobody. So Kyoko decides to get into showbiz and become even more popular than Shotaro to humiliate him. Unfortunately, Shotaro has destroyed Kyoko’s ability to love, and she discovers that it is a prerequisite for her to debut from her chosen company, LME. The president of LME puts her into a new section made for those who caught his eye but have something missing. It’s name… Section Love Me.

Well as the story goes on, she also meets Ren, which i muz say looks just delicious, haha. Ren is the most popular actor in her company and also Shoutaro’s arch enemy in show business.. because he always ranks higher den Shou. But of coz the story goes on and we find the connection btw Kyoko & Ren. It is just those funny face images that have me hooked. haha.. seriously i can read this manga over and over and over again.
