J-Drama Sundays: Osen – Guest Post
Food usually equals an instant win, but food and solid Japanese culture can overcome almost any story and visual flaws that may ever exist in a drama. Fortunately those flaws didn’t exist in this, to a major extent.
Plot
There are a lot of conveniences in Japan. You can get food almost anywhere...
J-Drama Sundays: Hammer Session – Guest Post
I really like fun J-Dramas where the characters do fun and crazy stuff, especially when it is out of the norm. Hammer Session is one of those because it definitely goes outside the bounds of what I call a traditional J-Drama.
Plot
Imagine a guy who can convince you to do or act just about anyway he...
Sunao ni Narenakute – The Twitter J-Dorama
I’ve been missing from the Japanese drama scene for a while now but for the last couple months I have been sneaking in an episode or 2 of a couple series I am watching.

Stand UP!! – Japanese Drama
After almost drowning in a sea of tears while watching Innocent Love I decided that the next Japanese drama I would check out after that would have to be more cheerful. Stand UP!! is a drama that is as cheerful as they come and with a plot synopsis that caught my attention I decided to give it a watch...
Innocent Love – Japanese Drama
Innocent Love is the 6th Japanese drama I took the time to watch in it’s entirety and the second most recommended one behind Great Teacher Onizuka. The main reason I didn’t watch it earlier is because I judged it from just looking at the advertising poster (seen below) and the name, I expected...
Great Teacher Onizuka
Great Teacher Onizuka or GTO as it is often abbreviated is a very popular Japanese drama that was originally a manga series. It was one of the first series recommended to me when I decided to take my Japanese drama plunge. With only a few series under my belt I can see why GTO came so highly recommended.
Great...
Liar Game – A Competition for Liars
My Japanese drama plunge continues and my latest review is of Liar Game, the first Japanese drama series of the few have watched so far that I am not so fond of. Liar Game is a a series filled with mystery, suspense, mind games, obvious and no so obvious plot twists, bad acting and a cute acting lead....
Akihabara@DEEP – the Otaku J-Dorama
Akihabara@DEEP is a very interesting drama and the third series I have seen through to the end. The series combines action and comedy well while offering a no frills street level view of Akihabara. Akihabara@DEEP isn’t a series for anyone but for persons like me who are interested in the topics...
