Babbles of a Leecher: Nah, just senseless babbling...

Warning:
Nothing but otaku ramblings ahead! Proceed at your own risk.


July marks the end of the Jdorama Spring season and the start of the Summer 2008 season and theere is nothing but anticipation for me.

After some really lousy Spring, I'm badly looking forward to a better season. In the past season, we ended up dropping dramas which fell short of satisfactory or even mildly entertaining.
  • Zettai Kareshi was one big disappointment; I was hoping for some high school romance but what we got was some bad manga rip off.
  • Ashita no Kita Yoshio sounded interesting on paper but was just damn boring on the monitor.
  • Gokusen 3 was something my sister enjoyed but I found it too predictable. It's the third anyway and Gokusen was made to be like that, I guess.
  • Last Friends seemed promising because it tried to tackle Lesbian issues but its failure to actually be entertaining or at least provocatively discursive made me forget about it entirely. Just yesterday, I fell asleep while watching it - literally.
  • Rookies is the only thing that's becoming interesting but it is not even somehting I'd recommend to anyone. The presentation is just too sterotypical.
For the Summer season, I'm looking forward for these shows:


Code Blue

We're watching this because, finally, a Yamashita Tomohisa drama. I think it's about some medical flight drama. Cast is also amazing 'cause Toda Erika's here!

Maou

I think this means "Devil." Anyway, after reading the synopsis, I'm hoping that this would be another Liar Game that's deep and thought-provoking. But considering Ikuta Toma is cast, I guess this would be impossible.

33pun Tantei (33 Minute Detective)

Synopsis: Each episode's mystery is solved within that short time span, but unlike typical detective shows, this comedy features a slow-witted sleuth named Rokuro Kurama (Domoto). While viewers will be able to identify the criminal right away, Domoto's character constantly comes up with incorrect theories, leading him to always accuse the wrong person. The show's name come from its time slot (Saturday nights at 11:10pm), which runs a total of 33 minutes after commercial time is subtracted.

Interesting right?

The only problem now is where to get Gigs of storage as my 250G + 80G hardrives are now full as they can be.
