Ramadhan is about to come, I’m genuinely can’t wait. Aside that, our recess time will be extending too. After that, Hari Raya will come around, meaning that, calling for holly-molly-hoholiday :D Yesh, I’m big fan of holiday~
Before, I’ve knew a system called, ‘Live-action’ – I’m such big fan of shojo-related manga and anime. Back then, the anime still limited in my country, even word for example likes ‘yaoi’, ‘shonen-ai’, ‘bishie’ has not yet introduced. Life was too colourful at that time, so, that i wishes, every shoujos anime transformed into real.
My first choose, would be either ‘Furuba’ or ‘Air’
Then, i came across the GTO drama series. Finally, then, i acknowledge the ‘Live-action’ word.
Then, after this particular, an actor came to my life – i’m simply, turned into fangirl instead of Otaku. >.> and bunch of J-actors & J-actress came along after that.
But, after being such a fan, then i just realised, the imbalanced of good quality with bad quantity and vice-versa.. that’s probably, the problem that Japanese production faced right now.List of Japanese Drama that managed sucessfully, sat at the ‘best adaption’ from anime/manga
I’m pretty much already watched, half drama from the list, meanwhile the others half were not. I’m planning watching ROOKIES though.
As brillant was Nodame Contabile, I still think, JIN deserve placed as number one of the best adaption. I’ve may not yet read the manga, but the drama was beyond my expectation, which managed left me speechless. I dare to say, JIN as general, one of the best drama from japan to date. Highly, reccommened.
While, I don’t really understand the hype about Hana Yori Dango x_x ; the drama was fun and sometimes overrated too but nothing special in that, seriously... aside it’s OST, i guess..
Meteor Garden; the taiwanese version was my childhood drama, I kid you not.
I’m was drooling about F4 back then. So i went read the manga, and felt
‘OFF’ that i can’t even bear continue to read on the next volume. So, I stopped. I went watched the Jdrama version after that. And honestly, Jun’s Domyoji scared me even in early on the first episode. So again, I stopped. A years later, I take a chance and watched for the rest episode just for HANAZAWA RUI. x_____x
Pretty much, the whole Hana Yori Dango plot actually, that DOWN me big time.
But, I can gave an applaude for the casts though ( exceptional Jun again, He’s domyoji still scared me till now ) that managed; bringing some quality on the drama, despite the plot are kind of just so-so... Not going to lie, and... yesh, my grandma aged 70+ seriously, big fan of this HanaDan.
Gokusen series is ‘ugh’ drama adaption to be honest. I can’t even remember or did Yankumi ever let her student to be independence; or at least, let the student’s problem solved by the student it self. Eventually, there’ll be her at the end saving every her’s fellow student ass. And can i blamed for the less romance-vibe? Thank goodness, for the akakame appearance on second season; if not i wouldn’t bother to pick these drama on the first place x_x and preferable sticking on read the manga only.
Note for those,who seriously interested in watching this drama and worried about should you watched whole three season? Watch the first only, if you an arashi fan, watch the second while you’re acclaimed as akakame fan and watch the third if you want to see Hey! Say! JUMP’s Takaki Yuya act only.
The movie, is just for eye-candy; the appearance of Ryu!Kame honestly, didn’t helped at all...... lol while they missed out the ‘shin-character’ which originally how supposedly Gokusen was all about.
JUST One thing, these drama win, was ONLY the yankumi’s wisdom scripted words, other than that.. manga version much better.
GTO is classic drama, with the classic formulae. Of course, you can’t compare for the rest; where all the top 3 on the list are casted with full ‘sparkilling’ artist. I still hold grudge for this drama for missed out the Kanzaki Urumi’s characters ....
Liar Game series, with the good plot + fantastic artist lined up, the drama managed produce a good decent drama. Exclude the main artist, toda & matsuda; I found the co-star which some are not really well-known, however managed to bring the characterisation blendly. Yeah, I’m talking to you, actor of Fukunaga XD
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge series, while i’m biased about kame, the drama actually not enjoyable but pretty much tolerable. I’m big fan of manga, and watched whole episode of anime before watching the drama.The production have managed pulled out this manga into good drama.Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is not typical shoujo manga to begin with. The whole Sunako always nose-bleeding in manga + anime which are supposedly her’s signature post are changed into quote ‘ma-ma-maabushiii....’ drastically, more nice way. The additional original character is surprisly helped a lot. The guy on cafe, was literally the person kyohei needed, to be able understanding the whole bishie-gifted on him.
At least, the message clearly shown up – to be always love yourself, no, not me being narcissist though XD
Yankee to megane-chan series, Naka Riisa, though annoying as usual; the character really fits for her. Despite, in here the fighting scene almost similar likes gokusen act ( seriously, they should learn the real martial arts or dance at least – looks at Yuya Matsushita’s fighting scene at Quartet – He BLEND IT *____* ) Naka Riisa and Hiroki managed bring the characterisation perfectly.
The drama plot actually, pretty dumb but enjoyable and the whole concept was at least acceptable.
Power Office Girls series, I cried this series didn’t makes out on list. Esumi Makiko definitely Tsuboi-alike in real life ;;A;;
This is the good example of good balance in both quality and quantity drama.
Stay Classy... I grown up with this drama, and till today still heart it.
Yukan Club series, the responsible for everything, for where am i standing right now. x_x The drama was so entertaining; my whole family members definitely fond this much.
Pretty Gurdian Sailormoon series, despite over-rated with colourful wig, i found nothing wrong with this drama. The artist lined up almost perfect; again the fault is still the colourful wig and could be the repeatably during ‘transformation’ . Plot-wise, is ... average. I fond the song the most.
Aside from duo Sailor Mars with Sailor Venus, I can’t seem seeing the other actress/ Sailors active acting anymore :O
One Pound of Gospel series, funny thing how, the artist lined up was typically eye-candy ( I’m talked about Kame and Meisa with Yamada here..) while the manga not really appeal that much. I don’t lie, I laughed a lot about this drama, pretty much again, the plot’s fault. Aside that Kame’s crack acting is much more fun to see. And since then, i’m worshipped the actor named Kamenashi Kazuya ^^
Tantei Gakuen Q series, with the SP suck big time. By this series allow you to love them to bits. Eye-candy here is only Kaname Jun, so yeah pretty much limited.
The trio Ryunnosuke, Yamada and Shida is still chibi artist at the moment; So, i really can’t evaluate their acting in here yet. The co-star played as Kazama is new face, sadly there is no he’s drama was heard after that. He played the good Kazama instead the SP. While, the anime has the pink and purple’s hair for the canon couple, in here, none exceptional Kazama was actually dyed their hair to fit the anime. The killer plot are so predictable, even kids know how to guess. BUT, still managed to entertained specially the Ryuu x Kyuu arc much XD
The drama adaption quite failed me:
Mei-chan no Shitsuji; eventhough i don’t read the manga, i can clearly see based from the drawing, the main heroin are supposedly ....SMALL. I mean, Eikura Nana freaking tall. Despite Mizushima Hiro act goods here, with Sato Takeru on the line, the drama are actually too sweet for me. I mean, over sweet sometimes not good, it could have you toothache .... x_x if you actually get what i meant.
HanaKimi 2007; exceptional Ikuta’s Nakatsu; I actually pretty loss with everyone character. Seriously, all the supposedly ikemen students co-stars kind of overshadowed the Sano’s Oguri and Ashiya’s Maki. Because, all thing i’ve remembered was the stupid jokes, and the almost absence romance there. And even what the heck with boyxboy awkward kissing there x_x << that utterly failed me! Or should i mentioned together with 2011 version too..
Kurosagi; I’m actually lost to understand the concept ........ and the drama was heavy and dull all the time. I admit i watched for sake interaction of Yamapi and Maki instead. << which is also shared the total absence romance x_x
And the error of subtitle didn’t helped me a bit. --;;
And some more to come........
Anyway, with whatever reason that dramas are produce, the main obejectivity is always, to be entertained. An adaption of anime to drama have already became ‘trend’ in Japan now a days, so it’s not a 'wonder' actually, the criticism are all around. Basically, if fangirls can bitch, so does the otaku self side too.
