>>17410185
I guess, very recognisable symbol of a pair that's supposed to be together. I don't remember it beign used in this drama outside of poster, though. (They were fated to be with each other and many of "accidents" proved that.)

Googled it, and different sources give me different dates, but they all point out to it already being out. There are even some reviews out there. There are some torrents, but haven't tried them so I don't know if they are legit.

>>17411761

Jap bluray/dvd will be out next month on the 13th. Unusual to find them any earlier.

Code blue sounds like cordon bleu to me... Season 3 is ok for now.

Avoid any Ataru OVA/movie. I enjoyed the series but anything beyond it is character-destroying cashgrab. Nothing good to derive from them and the last movie is insultingly bad.
They ruined the series for me retrospectively.

>>17417389
The manga is surprisingly good, all Minoru Furuya's adaption has been quite enjoyable.

It's this season's drama based on the manga.

Does anyone know a good service to stream japanese TV? I would pay for one if it's decent quality.

I stopped watching at about episode three, I thought it was alright, but not alright enough to continue. Did this turn out to be any good?

Which stations have anime and at what time usually?

>>17465718
http://artv.watch/countries/japan/

I just use this for sports so I don't know the anime channels, just google it. A lot of anime, the degenerate weebshit kind at least, is late night, like 10pm to 3am japan time, but there's a lot more during the day also.

http://anichart.net/airing

Didn't expect supernatural stuff to be mix in.

Genuinely surprised by YOUは何しに日本へ. The cringy weeaboos are there, but there's more to it than that.

This is going to be on Netflix soon.

Anyone here watched Hibana on Netflix? what did you think? What the fuck is up with that ending? Are the tits real?

>>17485115
The ending was pretty whack, at first I thought it was just a prank Kamiya was playing on him, but yeah I think they were real. Kamiya just broke at the end, I guess.

All in all I thought it was a great series, but it fizzled out towards the end. Kind of like a firework, haha.

>>17480889
Oh yeah
It's refreshing to see something other than pretty people going through minor struggle and then everything works out in the end

Can anyone recommend a comfy show/move that is like the movie "Little Forest : Summer/Autumn - Winter/Spring" ?

Just something comfy like it, no need for overarching plot and crazy superpowers and drama.

Any of you watch 90's movies? Know a place where you can find them? I've watched The Eel and April Story but they were hell to find. Been trying to watch "Future Memories: Last Christmas" but no luck so far.

Are there any good ones out there? I'm interested.

Is there anything similar to Mahoro ekimae bangaichi?

>>17492136
The best jdrama I've watched was probably Good Morning Call. I'm not really much into dramas, I prefer movies, but that one made me search for a lot more jdramas. Just finished two seasons of Itazura Kiss this days (the one with Honoka Miki), and it was okay, but Good Morning Call is still the best.

Comfy teen/young love struggles. Cute, happy, with a bit of heartbreaking moments. But in the end everything is well.

>>17425250
Nah, people only watched it for the memes.

>>17492136
I mostly watch comedy, slice of life, family type shows, sometimes romance. If it's a romance the more pink there is in the cover/promo art the less likely I am to like it, seems to be always true so far, more pink = more shoujo like which isn't for me. Anyway Kekkon Dekinai Otoko is probably my favorite, it's a slice of life comedy type thing, some romance at the very end though which didn't really fit. Family's Form (slice of life, comedy), Nietzsche-sensei, Seigi no Mikata (comedy), Bara no nai Hanaya (romance), H2 (teen sports romance), Namae Megami (family) are others I enjoyed. Haven't really watched all that many myself.

>>17492474
are you a grill

>>17492730
Oh my goodness finally someone to talk to about that ending. Was hoping they made the direction of the story into something like being able to accept a lonely romantic life as long as you're successful and have good friends.

>>17492136
5 to 9; it plays out like a romantic kdrama.

>>17492136
kdrama is everything jdrama wants to be imo
All the glitz and glamor is turned all the way up to 11 and the govt subsidizes productions
And it's working. When I started my jp degree there were thousands of people entering the jp101 courses with only 3-4 classes of kr, now they're just about equal

>>17480889
Yeah I like it. Season 1 was pure shit though, the bubbly girl dragged down everything. Getting rid of her for season 2 was the best decision they have ever made, and it was fantastic.
I'm almost done with season 3, it isn't as memorable as season 2 but it's certainly not too bad.

>>17492101
Google says they had one last month and in like march/may.
So I guess randomly.
At least they do it frequently as opposed to Jpopsuki's once every decade.

Even though I think K-drama is garbage, you do have a point. If Japan wants to improve its "cool" factor, it must try to export its culture. It is so much easier for me to see K-drama than it is J-dramas. I have a 24/7 NHK channel but it is mostly news and documentaries. All their dramas are on their cable channel.

>>17449708
Just watched Why don't you play his hell?, and it was amazing.
Never watched any Sono Sion's stuff before, are they all that great or what.
I'll definitly check more.

>>17494827
Yes, although I took a bit of a break from it, I'm going to start working on it again today. I am at episode 8/11 now, I had to go back and work on the earlier episodes more which took quite some time.

I have been thinking about just releasing some of the episodes as a v0 on nyaa separately for now because there may be some corruptions with the encode since I did notice one (fixed now) which was caused by using too many threads with avisynth during the encode. If anyone finds something they want changed before the final release then I can fix that up too... I guess I will do it once I'm finished with episode 8.

>>17470257
is this the one with kawaei rina?

The last thing I have watched was Hanzawa Naoki.

Has there been anything coming close to it since then?

Nope, Japan can't into thrillers and they don't do social commentary unless it's about getting married.

>>17504640
Anime is exported much better than live action Japanese productions, especially television dramas or most movies that aren't big winners at festivals.

There are a few live action shows on Netflix, some more on Crunchyroll, but otherwise there's nothing out there that even compares to the amount of anime that has been officially licensed by Crunchyroll, funimation and other companies.

>>17510045
I think most of the appeal of K-dramas to Koreaboos are their ayy lmao-looking plastic celebs, nice visuals, and over the top melodrama moreso than anything else. I live in an area with a lot of Koreaboos and in the end it all comes down to how shiny and glamorous Koreans seem to them. Unless you want Japan to turn into the same type of social mess as Korea is right now regarding that sort thing for the sake of "exporting" live action series then not much is going to change.

>>17510167
The reason I can't really get into Korean stuff, including movies and K-dramas, is because of how a lot of it seems "over-produced", and too glamorous and perfected. Maybe this is just me being a "weeaboo", but Japanese dramas and a lot of their entertainment just feel more "authentic", if you get what I mean by that. Not like there aren't a lot of generic, trope-filled shows designed by execs in suits with a popular lead actor or actress being the main selling point in Japanese entertainment.

>>17510217
I understand. Korea takes celeb fakeness and manufactured entertainment culture to another level.

where did you watch it?

Are there any sub groups dedicated to Live Action Jap stuff, and Jap movies (as opposed to anime)?

Million Yen Women was a disappointment. Started out promising but the last 3 episodes fell off the rails. Their motivation for living with him was unconvincing and for some reason, almost every girl there wanted the ugly MC's d.

Just watched danshi koukousei no nichijou live action. So funny if you watched the anime in the past.

Where can I watch this?

>>17407727
Why is this general here instead of /tv/?

>>17570782
Because this wouldn't survive in /tv/ because no one there has any interest in Japanese culture, otaku or not, outside of Dragonball Z or /a/'s flavour of the month show they'll all turn on after its time is up

>>17570782
Same reason /jp/ is infested with idols and mods will delete any post complaining about that.
At this point there's enough material to make /tvjp/ and that would make both sides happy, but nope, gotta keep this shit here.

>>17570853
We need more "weeb" boards to be honest. The other western boards are getting more comfortable trying to push anything that comes from Japan out of their shitty board and into /jp/. /v/ was divided into several shit boards over the years so why can't we get more specialized boards for different Japanese content? At the very least, we need a clear separation between 2D and 3D content. The gravure and jav generals shouldn't be here in the first place for fucks sake.
I blame everything on the constant normalfag influx and their revisionist history that denies the foundation of this site which is chinese cartoons and porn.

>>17570902
>/v/ was divided into several shit boards over the years so why can't we get more specialized boards for different Japanese content?

Because this is an /a/ and /v/ sub board.

>>17570853
>At this point there's enough material to make /tvjp/
There isn't, though. You're overestimating how many people there are in these threads. This wouldn't fit in on /tv/ and they'd shun it even harder because it's Japanese and "weebshit". This thread got 135 replies in a month while teetering on the verge of falling off page 10 numerous times. You think that there would be "enough material" to warrant making an entire new board for this?
/jp/ is a slow board but there's still dozens of touhou threads created every few hours. This and idols fit in way more with otaku culture than any other category, and are definitely not big enough to make a new board for.

>>17571010
Why spamming with Touhou threads is still tolerated in this day and age?

>>17571046
I don't know why it was ever allowed to happen in the first place.

>>17571772
>Don't allow one thing to dominate this board--condense your fucking threads.

Then you have the 2hufags complaining about the existence of less than 10 idol themed general threads. Mmmmmmmm

>>17571010
I agree.
The spam that came here out of someone questioning this thread's existance is the time of the biggest activity since I started it and I did it a couple days after the last one has died and no one was making anything.
This board is overflowing with Touhou, then there are some idol threads, and some generals (jav, gravure, ona-hole etc. (my, that sounds bad when listed)). It really could use some variety (and activity) not touhou/general related.

>>17572166
I agree. Given how slow these threads are, I'd say they perfectly fit the description of "diverse niche Japanese interests".

When the hell we are going to make a rec chart for Japanese TV shows? That's the way to build interest and make people respect these threads.

>>17574254
What are some series you think should be put in a rec chart?

>>17574408
Shows with Kudo Kankuro as a writer or Yuichi Fukuda as a director are a good start.
Also classics like 1 Litre of Tears, Densha Otoko and more recently, Hanzawa Naoki.

>>17574408
Long Vacation, Amachan, Trick.

>>17574254
Best and only way is to get them to learn japanese first. Most content will never get sub or takes forever to get sub.

>>17575008
I've seen enough dramas to think I've wasted too much time on them, and I don't even speak japanese (started learnig a year ago, though).

>>17574408
For something really new I'd recommend Hibana

>>17575008
Even with this being true, there is a good bunch of subbed shows out there already, nothing wrong with recommending those.
If anything people can also enjoy some Tokusatsu, since most important stuff has or is being subbed.

>>17574408
Operation: proposal is my top pick.

Does anyone know the name of a japanese movie from the 90's(?) that was about a group of weird people trapped in a location, and one of the main characters talks to a superhero guy. It used to be on Fandor but they took it off i guess.

>>17575911
>Tokusatsu
>good

Go back to /m/.

>>17576634
bad opinions are welcome too.

/jp/, there's any Japanese TV program focused on seiyuus?

>>17576634

What ideas do you have for the format of a rec chart?

>>17578702
Grouping shows into some large groups like ''classics'', ''good recent stuff'' and ''tokusatsu'' seems ok. I'm personally not into the concept of genres like ''action'', ''drama'' or ''period''.
Simply putting the shows there and naming it ''Good Japanese TV'' would work too.

>>17578702
Kino, good tier

>>17578702
I'm all for grouping things into decades.

>>17579046
>Kino
Let's not do this.

>>17575911
>>17578795
Forget the tokusatsu. That's a very different flavour to what people generally tend to look for when getting into dramas.

>>17579055
I'll second the decades suggestion. Seems like a good way to group them.

>>17578702
>>17578795
While you're right, grouping them into genres isn't ideal. We should still put the genre under the title so that people understand what they're getting themselves into.

>>17579055
>>17580326
I'm also for doing it by decades, skipping toku, and then just listing what genre they broadly fall under a la >>17580393

Then the question should be how many per decade?

>>17578702
We should also add an indicator that tells you which is and isn't subbed.

>>17580405
I'd say ten even if it seems like a lot.

>>17580419
Good idea with the subs, and I'd say 10 is fair enough.
I'll step aside here though since I'm familiar enough with dramas to be able to recommend 10 great ones from this decade, let alone for the last 4 or 5. Hope this gets finished, I definitely want to watch more dramas.

>>17580451
> since I'm *not* familiar

>>17580405
>>17580326
>>17580393
I like the idea of putting toku since I know a bunch of people that started watching dramas because of it(myself included), but I get it, we can skip it.
Decades is a good idea. My only problem with it being that most pre-2000s stuff is unsubbed, and a list focusing on subbed shows seems more beginner friendly.
Also, since i'm not an expert in old dramas, is there really 10 vey good shows to recommend from the 70's or 80's?

>>17580526
>is there really 10 vey good shows to recommend from the 70's or 80's?
Definitely, but like you said, it's mainly unsubbed. How about we put the more recent series/decades up higher and the rest lower? That way people will see all those new subbed series and won't feel daunted.

>>17580526
I agree again, just list the decades in descending order, with the recent & subbed shows at the top of the chart.
That way if you work your way through it, the further down the chart you'd go the farther you'd get from the familiar and "relatable" context of modern shows. The people who would watch older shows (and I mean 70s and early 80s shows) are the people who are more likely to have an interest in Japanese culture outside of the more recent "Cool Japan" driven pop culture, and thus probably have enough of a grasp of Japanese to watch unsubtitled content and understand it.

>>17580526
I understand where you're coming from and I have the same basic background, but we already have a ton of picture guides and websites about the different toku franchises on /m/. If you can stomach going to /m/, you'll find everything you'd need and then some. It's just a bit superfluous if you ask me.

Wouldn't making a section for toku be redundant since /m/ has much more fleshed out charts and guides for it?

I'm waiting warmly for the dvd release of survival family. I love shinobu yaguchi's films.

>>17580543
I'm ok with this.
>>17580946
>>17581045
Yeah, no toku then.

Apparently they remade Nobi (Fire on the plains).

Does anyone have any recommendations from Japanese Dramas like the OP pic? I'm really into the romance/comedy shows. So anything along the line of what I've watched. I've watched from 5 to 9, We got Married as Job, Dear Sister, Nodame Cantible, Itazura na Kiss, Tokyo Tareba Women, Date-Koi to wa donna, suki na hito ga iru koto and some more.

>>17591383
Not sure if that's exactly what you want, but some that I've seen and qualify as romance: "Watashi Kekkon Dekinainjanakute, Shinain Desu", "Koe Koi", "Densha Otoko", "Sumika Sumire", "Totsuzen Desu ga, Ashita Kekkon Shimasu", "Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu".

>>17590516
Yamikin Ushijima 2010 J crime, depressing
Legal High 2013 S comedy, courtroom drama

>>17591383
Switch girl 1 & 2

for this rec chart I need to know if you people recommending are female or gay

>>17592513
I though we were all housewives

We still need more showa titles! To anybody that's making recommendations, please organize them with the proper tags as such>>17590516. It'll make it much easier to put it all together. If you have trouble coming up with genres just be creative, like GTO falls under "cool teacher".

Also, don't hold back on your opinions. If there's a show someone recommended but you don't think it fits, speak up. Or if you want to argue in favor of something, please do so.

>>17590913
>Nigehaji(meme show but i like it)
I wasn't a big fan of it since it didn't really hold my interest all the way through. I was impressed by the slick editing though, which was rare for a j-drama. I'd be fine with it being on the list if more people think it deserves to be on there. I could see how people would like it.

>>17593805
Good post.

On Nigehaji: I think it's a flawed but important show. The main theme of it is something very actual in Japan right now, great part of it's popularity comes from that (and of course the dance).
The romance is well executed even if it's kinda simple. Also, as you said, the editing/directing is really great, especially in the few more ''imaginative'' scenes, like the EVA reference or the monologues.

If we agree on 10 really good shows of the 10s, maybe it doesn't deserve to be in tho.

>>17590379
what show is this

>>17594017
There are a ton of shows in Japan, both drama and anime, that have the whole "please get married!" undertones at the moment. It really isn't displaying something that's new. Unlike Hanzawa Naoki, which was a totally radical thing for it to exist and its social commentary. I feel people only gave it a chance because of its meme status, and Aragaki Yui of course. Although, my opinion may not matter much since I stopped watching after episode 3 or 4, can't remember.

>>17591383
Love Shuffle.

>>17594250
I understand where are you coming from but i'm not into this kind of perspective. The way the show treats love as an institution is something kinda of original i guess, at the same time it lightly tackles the salaryman stereriotype and unenployment problem.
It's not as groundbreaking or layered as Hanzawa in any way tho. It's just a competent show with nice themes and a broad appeal, something strangely hard nowadays.

Also if we are going by these stardards, Densha Otoko should not be in the chart.

>>17500110
Love Exposure is his masterpiece imo.

>>17499995
K-dramas used to be much better. They're certainly on the decline now.

>>17570782
Because if you try to suggest or discuss anything Japanese on western-oriented boards, you will be accused of being a disgusting weeb and there will be no discussion of substance.

>>17591041
Avistaz or try googling their name. No idea if you want subs though since i don't rely on them.

>>17594218
Aishitetatte Himitsu wa Aru.

>>17590516
I supposed it would be better if it's categorized by genre?

Anyway hope your list comes to fruition and stay updated. I remember there was a previous list made but became lost after the op left and drama generals were dead.

>>17450151
I love it! It's so adorable, I just feel fluffy inside watching it.

Help is definitely appreciated. Also, still waiting on those showa recommendations.

>>17611751
Gokusen would probably have tags like: Comedy, School, Cool Teacher (kappa), Yakuza

>>17611851
I haven't watched it yet but is the yakuza tag necessary? When people see that they usually think about something grittier in tone.

>>17611751
terrible list imho. its just a popularity contest and not really a curation

>>17612053
What would you add/remove? Like I said, any help is appreciated.

>>17612104
The breakdown by decade is not helpful, nobody watches shows according to the production date. Start with useful genres.

Overall the list looks like its from reddit or mydramalist. You have to decide, who is this list for?

>>17612674
Yes, it's a popularity contest of shows people in this thread think are good. You should make your own list too.

And yeah, the decade system is kinda bad since we don't have much from the 70's and 80's.

Anybody else watched ROOKIES? Despite all those exaggerated/over the top scenes, the show actually is good in conveying it's themes and moral. The BB capt is also a well made character. I don't even know how baseball is played but I enjoyed the show. Nice ost too.

Any recommendation for a romance story that is at par with Boku wa Asu? I went on a binge watch of movie dramas recently, and out of the few four that I got to see, it was the one that struck me the most.

It's a good thing that I wasn't able to read the plot nor the tags because the twist kinda caught me off guard. I like that this wasn't the regular romance film that I was expecting.

Also, any good recommendation for a comedy series? I see that Yuusha Yoshihiko was included in the list. I tried watching Keibuho Yabe Kenzo, but I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of references since I'm not familiar with Trick.

Do you guys know any drama or movie set in northern Japan? 90% of the dramas I`ve watched are either in Tokyo or urban areas nearby. I really like snowy scenarios and girls wearing winter clothes.

>>17615858
Most famous one would be Kita no Kuni Kara i guess.

>>17611890
I'm not sure about that really. Plot wise it's important, but if that's what people would expect from it (despite having first two tags as comedy and school) then it might be fine to remove it.

>>17616064
How about "yankee" tag though?

>>17612674
I suppose we should vote on it again then?
http://www.strawpoll.me/13909409

Keep in mind that the list will be turned into an image after we've decided on what titles will will stay. This list is mainly for newfags that are curious about what they should start with so think entry level, hidden gems, and just plain shows we think people should watch anyways.

>>17616682
Splitting it by decade doesn't really work with so few old shows, but will splitting it by genre work when we have so few titles? There probably will be some categories that will have only one or two shows in them.
How about splitting them by something like "newfag's friendliness"? Japanese shows, especially comedies, can sometime be kind of... "specific", so some shows are easier to watch for beginners than others. It will probably be a problem to split them though.

Also: turning it my image is a bad idea. You can't copy-paste titles from an image and considering some shows having long titles (e.g. "Itsuka Kono Koi wo Omoidashite Kitto Naite Shimau") it will be a pain to write them to search them. Using something like pastebin would work better I think.

>>17613025
>>17612674
>>17612053
Why bother if you dumb faggots or someone else is just going to complain about whatever list gets drawn up because it's a "popularity contest" or not "curated"? If we're going to list a bunch of noteworthy shows of course popular ones are going to pop up

>>17619009
This was good fluff

>>17616774
I think this method of organization would work well for an entry level chart on dramas, even without all of the extra text at the bottom. Making it into an image is nice because it gives you some visual reference, is easy to pass along, and you can always reference a pastebin or other such resource somewhere on the chart.

>>17619488
That's a good idea. So we'll make the image like you said.

I'm still waiting on more suggestions for the titles on the list, most likely for another week or maybe the end of the next thread. It should give us enough time to pick up some highly acclaimed shows and see if they could be added.

>>17611751
Shinsengumi has to get on this list.

>>17621403
Can you give more info on the show you're referring to?

>>17621803
Shinsengumi! (release 2004) is a taiga drama about the 'Shinsengumi', a kind of police force established after Japan was forced to open up its country, focusing on the historic character Kondo Isami, the leader of this group.
It's really good. you should see it.
It's also subbed.

>>17615330

Btw, not all are romance. Just recommended some nice ones

Does anyone have recommendations from recent years (2014+) of some movies that are filmed at least competently? The only thing that's really caught my eye since then is little forest, but I never ended up watching it.

>>17625712
I like the way his comedy goes. I also enjoyed watching the two HK movies. I'm looking forward to watch how he does it in Gintama.

>>17626132
Much obliged. I'm interested in seeing Orange and Nobody Knows. Ore Monogatari was one of the movies I watched that time and it was cute. I just stumbled upon Boku was Asu because it was one of Fukushi Sota's works. I got to browse Komatsu Nana's works and I might go and watch them, too.

>>17630685
>nana
Ive watched some of her movies. She was cute in close range love, kurusaki kun, and jojo's bizarre adv. Drowning love was terrible. World of kanako was amazing.
>sota
Koinaka and omakae death were good enough for me because the female leads were cute.

Ive watched their new movie together but dropped it about halfway through. Felt like i was just watching girl who leapt through time lol

>>17630843
Where were you able to watch the JJBA movie?

>>17630911
The cinema. Next week I'll try and watch Gintama. There was a tokyo ghoul one too but the showing only lasted a week so I couldn't see it. My local theater regularly has been showing new jap movies like kimi no nawa, roruoni kenshi, one piece gold , koe no katachi etc

>>17630948
That's nice. I guess I'd have to wait until a torrent is available then.

>>17591383

Help understanding Dad of Light Series:

Hey everyone, this is spoilers okay. But I didn't understand episode 7 of Dad of light.

He goes in for surgery, and then it cuts to 'one year later' and dad isn't home and the son and mom are talking like he's dead.

Then he shows up at the door of his sons room and their both happy he's home.

They didn't explain this at all.

Was he in a coma for a year? Was he recoving in hospital for a yer and they only made it SOUND like he was dead for dramatic effect?

What was I suppose to assume? Why was he gone for an entire year, they were said like he was dead or in a coma, and then he came home and they were happy.

Does anyone understand the time jump there and what happened after his surgery? Anyone understand that scene?

I know a little bit of Japanese and I even read a bit of the Japanese transcript but it doesn't help me understand, it was basically word for word the english version from what I could tell.

(Show's title in Japanese if it helps: 光のお父さん。）

>>17647432
What the fuck? For me it was simple as the surgery went well and they were just playing with the audience in the mother-son sad dialogue.

It's a simple show, don't think about it so much.

>>17647863
What through me off was the 'one year later' thing. Both mom AND son looked sad, and they never explained why, then dad comes in and suddenly happy, it implied that he was gone the whole time, but didn't say why or how or etc.

It just went from going in to surgery, to 1 year later and they're both sad like he's dead or in coma or in hospital for whole year, then he just then in that scene comes home, kinda thing.

But they don't explain it. Like, was he in hospital the whole time recovering? or.. you know?

>>17647432
Allow me to help fill in the blanks.
Cut to one year later after surgery, mom was shown being upset with son consoling her, dads pops in and asked what she was upset about, turns out her favorite korean actor just announced his marriage which made her being a fangirl depressed.
By the way there is also a sp after episode 7 if you didn't already know.
Please don't give up and continue brushing up on your japanese.

I saw the first episode but didn't bother sticking with it. The only reason I could find to watch more was Mayu Matsuoka but I don't have that kind of time these days to watch what doesn't interest me.

How'd it end up?

>>17677313
It's okay, my problem is the characters aren't flawed enough. Main characters are pretty much all good people, and if they lie, or lie by omission, it's out of kindness for others, not wanting to harm them.
Also, each episode kind of has the main character struggling with a task at work, but somehow in the end, it works out and he gets praised, because his kindness and willingness to try hard and do something different results in success. I guess I'd just like to see some drawbacks.

What was the name of that jdrama about some male doctor, older guy with general hate for relationships of any kind. It's got light romance.
I remember it was pretty great.

>>17674080
Might be a good idea to include if the dramas have sequels like having more than 1 season, extra SP episodes or movies.

>>17679754
In Dragon Zakura: It's not Todai University, it's Tokyo University. Todai is short fot Tokyo Daigaku. Daikgaku means university. So Todai University would be something like ToUni University.
