I’ve just finished watching the series, well, sort of, since the file’s a bit faulty for the last 15 minutes. Addictive series, even though I didn’t like the two leads at all. The guy (Itoh Atsushi) is a pathetic crybaby whose idea of acting is to scrunch up his face and squeeze out tears. The girl (Itoh Misaki) looks…weird, even though someone thinks she’s the most beautiful Japanese actress he’s seen. She doesn’t quite make my skin crawl, but something like that.
I loved the supporting cast to bits. Sakurai with his remote-controlled cars, bizarre fantasies and REMOTE-CONTROLLED HELICOPTER! The female lead’s brother (Mokomichi Hayami) was delectable eye candy. Jinkama (Shiraishi Miho) is my favourite character in the show, she’s so fun and violent. The people on the message forum stole the show all the time. The computer programmer, who’s really cool and has his own sob story, was my favourite.
The movie stars different people, thankfully. Nakatani Miki as the female lead! She’s really classy.
i can only conclude that your taste in ladies is sadly…….
