JDORAMAS THAT MUST BE SUBBED
![]()
WAKAMONOTACHI 2014
+ OMFG. The talent! Tsumabuki Satoshi, Eita, Mitsushima Hikari, Emoto Tasuku, Aoi Yu, Hashimoto Ai and the kid from Kita no Kuni Kara
+ Producer of Soredemo Ikite Yuki. If you read the interview, he was happy to let Sakamoto Yuji do whatever he wanted.
- Nagasawa Masami
= Writer of Densha, Shibatora, JOKER. Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing.
Wakamonotachi is the great big hope of this season to be a must watch classic jdorama. If it fails, it will not be because of talent.

TOKUMEI TANTEI Season 2
The PG-13 version of Tadano Hitoshi. Once again written by Ozaki Masaya. (KDO, Black President) I loved season 1, bring on season 2!

PETER NO SORETSU
The sequel to Namonaki Doku which I found interesting. Had a quick look at the cast and there doesn't seem to be any bad actresses to dampen my enthusiasm.

LAST DOCTOR
I'm basing this one Ozaki Masaya's (KDO) writing. Based on the 30 second trailer at the website, it looks like a quirky character medical examiner show. If anyone can pull of quirky characters, its him and how is Ozaki Masaya doing two shows in a season?
YOSHIWARA URA DOSHIN

Wait, Ozaki Masaya has a third jdorama and its about the old red light district in the samurai days? He is the perfect writer for this! Does he even sleep? Will having 3 jdoramas in a season affect the quality of his writing? Samurai action + prostitutes + Oda Kazumasa song + Ozaki Masaya writing = must watch!

MAMA GA IKITA AKASHI
Abe Sadao + Kanjiyani Shihori (who's also in Yoshiwara Ura Doshin) + Ozaki Masaya? He's got 4 jdoramas???!!! Best of all, Mano Erina is in it!!!!!!!! Mano-chan daisuki!!!!!!!!!!! Can't effing wait!
MIGHT NEED TO BE SUBBED
KAZOKU GARI
![]()
Murder mystery show starring Matsuyuki Yasuko (Mother) and Endo Kenichi. I will definitely check this out for her. Trailer looks very good but I'm not so sure about the writers. Based on bestselling novel doesn't mean anything to me after Mozu.

MOZU Season 2
Mozu was the great hope of last season and Border and Black President saved the day. I don't have any faith in the story and I'm just hoping for decent action sequences.
OYAJI NO SENAKA
10 episodes of father daughter doramas by multiple writers including Sakamoto Yuji and Mitani Koki.

HENSHIN
+ WOWOW dorama based on another Higashino Keigo book.
- The writer wrote the god awful Gekiryuu which had some of the stupidest dialogue ever. It was so bad I actually watched the whole thing in disbelief. It was even worse than Triangle, which is pretty hard to do.
My pick for jdorama to go down in flames.

SAILOR FUKU TO UCHUUJIN
Sounds so stupid it might actually be funny. The earth is destroyed and there are only 11 survivors who must choose between leaving earth with the aliens or escaping the spaceship. Plus Yuri from Black President is the main sailor fuku girl. :)

ZAININ NO USO
Just cause its WOWOW. Grrrr, can't watch trailer from website since outside Japan.

HAKUGIN JACK
Watanabe Ken and Hirosue Ryoko in a dorama special about a criminal who takes over a sky resort and seeks tricky ransoms. Could be good.
SHOULDN'T BE SUBBED
Everything else cause most of them are jyannies and Oscar Agency doramas anyway.
