Anyone noticed the action going in the background?
KEIBUHO YABE KENZO 2 EPS 6-8
Realised I forgot to do a write up about the rest of the series. Consistantly funny and I loved the last episode. Very 20th Century Boys like. Definitely deserves to be subbed because I probably missed half the jokes but I still found it funny as hell.
I am 100% sure there is no one in Japan who does not know what JK means.
AIBOU SEASON 11 EPS 1-8
Someone decided to sub this long running series and I thought I should go check it out. Aibou is basically Eccentric detective and young detective going around solving cases and division 1 people dislike them although the partners keep solving cases for them. The effort is there and its definitely better than Hanchou and your generic cop series but it never reaches the lofty heights of Furuhata Ninzaburo. Speaking of Furuhata, ep 6 from the second season was absolutely brilliant. Aibou is watchable and I managed to sit through 8 episodes but its lacking something. Probably won't continue watching.
KYUUMEI BYOTO 24-JI 5 EP 1
I have not seen Matsushima Nanako in anything in the last 10 years that made me remember why I thought she was so good back in the day. Her last performance that I can remember that made me go wow was Story of One Century. I decided to give episode 1 of this long running series a try. Absolutely atrocious CG explosion, impressive long one shot of the hospital preparing to receive the wounded but Kyuumei Byoto didn't give me a reason to care and I couldn't even finish watching. Probably need to watch from the beginning.
LIMIT 7-12
I'm downgrading this from watchable to bad. I basically just skipped scenes until the end. It feels like a survival story created for little kids to teach them moral lessons and how to solve teenage angst. Ugh.
