[Drama of the Week] Koizora (3/25-31/2012)

Seto Koji. Seto Koji. Seto Koji.
That is all!

Ok ok, so I guess I'll post more than just "Seto Koji" (even though he's the reason I watched the drama rather than the movie version first). This drama is pretty heart warming and does drag just a little bit (most say the drama isn't the one to see but they movie... I like the drama because of Seto Koji being my favorite actor) but overall is a pretty good watch.

[Drama of the Week] Ouran Host Club (2/26-3/3/2012)

image copyright goes to miwa & TBS

I've never been a fan of the Ouran Host Club anime, and I have a few volumes of the manga with plans to buy the rest one day. I just couldn't get into the anime. The English voice cast just didn't fit and what I saw in Japanese wasn't much better. Now I'm not saying the drama was perfect or anything of that nature, in fact far from.... but it did catch and keep my attention long enough to finish the 11 episodes and to be excited about the movie coming out this month.
