It certainly flawed and over the top, but have the typical craze premise that usually I found amusing - a 35 years old woman back to school to continue where she drop before when also have to deal with some modern school problem/issue

Teddy Go! - A four episode mini series starring Show Aikawa as Yasuo Amano, a murdered detective whose soul enters an inanimate teddy bear that he made for his son. Aoi Morikawa plays a young woman, Kazuko Yamase, who buys the teddy bear and learns that in some aspect, the teddy comes to life as she can hear his voice. Even more insane, when she sees the teddy bear in the mirror, instead of the reflection of the bear, she sees the reflection of the detective. The duo work together to solve Yasuo's murder. I am halfway through this series so far.

Speed of Life - TVB series from 2016 revolving around the members of the two units of the Hong Kong Traffic Department, the Enforcement and Control Unit and the Accident Investigation Unit. Kenny Wong takes charge as the veteran lead of the E&C Unit who must deal with the new member of the team, played by Sisley Choi while the AI Unit has a new detective in the form of Benjamin Yuen, who provides much of the series' comic relief with his mixing of English and Cantonese and talking to a basketball named Jason. He has a rivalry that turns into a relationship with Natalie Tong's officer who is skilled with photographic memory.

Great 20-episode series that goes full circle with lots of good twists and performances by Wong, Tong, Choi, and especially Yuen.

Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger (Space Sentai Kyuranger)

When the Jark Matter threatens the universe, nine heroes are chosen by the mysterious "Kyutama" and become the Kyurangers. In a very different move, the original team consists of five humans and four humanoids. However, there are currently two new rangers who have joined the team, making it an 11-ranger team with a 12th on the way. Here are the team members:

ShishiRed (Lion) - human
SasoriOrange (Scorpion) - human with scorpion tail
OokamiBlue (Wolf) - humanoid
OushiBlack (Bull) - humanoid
TenbinGold (Libra) - humanoid
HebitsukaiSilver (Ophiuchus) - human
ChameleonGreen (Chameleon) - human
WashiPink (Eagle) - humanoid
KajikiYellow (Swordfish) - human
The two current new rangers are:
RyuuCommander (Dragon) - who is the Rangers' humanoid commander, Shou Ronpou.
KogumaSkyBlue (Ursa Major/Minor) - a young boy who can grow to size when he activates the Ursa Major Kyutama.

The 12th ranger will be HououSoldier (Phoenix) but his identity has not been revealed...yet.

The American voiceovers were hilarious.

[resopamenic]

WorldFilmGeek - great we got supersentai watcher here :D - is that the latest instalment??
Nestorio_Miklos i never heard hono no inu - and can't find any reference - what's that show about?
Dani8 - from what show was that still dani?, his face remind me for somekind of character/villain from ultraman lol - probably that guy also show up in movie that i'd seen too

[Nestorio_Miklos]

i never heard hono no inu - and can't find any reference - what's that show about?

i like it and it's about the family in Tokyo. Father(widower) and little girl Reiko and their dog Goro. Eventually father dies in the bear hunting accident and Goro gets lost. Then adventure starts. Reiko goes to look for Goro and Goro search for Reiko all over Japan. I think there are about 10 episodes, 1 hour each. You probably won't be able to find it. I think it's somewhere in archives collecting dust. :D

Korean Pop is/was really popular here so I dont know where the network went or if it just fell off my tv guide. Maybe Mr Dani deleted it because I drove him insane with Gangnam Style. Is Psy still big over there?

That was a huge hit here and he was super popular when he came out here at the time, but he seems to hve disappeared. Lovely, eloquent guy from the interviews I saw.

@WorldFilmGeek (http://www.movieforums.com/community/member.php?u=94869) - great we got supersentai watcher here :D - is that the latest instalment??


Yes it is the latest Super Sentai Series. :) Been watching the S3 since 2007's Jyuden Sentai Gekiranger and my two oldest daughters watch it with me as they are huge fans of both this and Power Rangers.

I also used to watch this a lot when I lived in New York:
http://www.fujitv.co.jp/HEY/img/title_sp_13.png
Dani8 - This show did a special episode that spoofed Iron Chef and it was hilarious. It pitted co-host Hitoshi Matsumoto against J-Pop star Masaharu Fukuyama with co-host Masatoshi Hamada as the Chairman, even decked out with fake wig and Takeshi Kaga uniform...he even bites the bell pepper but looks in the camera and starts laughing.

watching dragon maid witch is anime

[resopamenic]

Actually live action tv show that what i had in mind, back then. But thread title suggested for whatever type :D nevermind

[Dani8]

lolol @ see if granny becomes a contorttionist

[resopamenic]

Kamen rider blade
Lol story and character wise it's probably the dullest KR series that i'd seen, truly letdown in compare to previous heisei era.

I knew that in context as type of young boys show in demography, the franchise always has typical b plot, c-grade amateurish acting but this one is beyond ridicule especially when it trying too dark and serious, tone that previous series could did quiet so well.

Still the concept and design is what stand out for most of the part. Feel not bother to continue for now

Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store
https://dawnslifedotnet.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/mr-nietzsche-in-the-convenience-store.jpgdamn, this burst laughter midnight show is hilarious xD ,that one doesnt need for read the like thus spoke zarathustra to begin with as reference. think the material and setting really suit comedic oriented director yuichi fukuda - well he is not much visual stylist nor big budget type of

also i must say that jiro sato is truly underrated comic genius. his trademark for absurd, improvised "non stop" monologue was precious that even led other actors candid-ly lose their character - i mean why should they need to retake these priceless moments ? xD

Overall, though, they are much more aesthetically conservative compared to Japanese animation.

Low key dorama by the one and only Hirokazu Kore-eda

[resopamenic]

Keyakitte Kakenai (2015 - )
recently rewatch some and watching few more episodes that i havent.
Well opinion change. Maybe im so green with typical variety show in japan and just quiet hype months ago. It's not that good actually.

The show Less lively than the sister shows(nogidoko, nogichuu) and the both MC beaten miles away against Bananaman.
Well it's not nearly bad i guess as it got momentum but they cant keep that long especially after new year. Some fans said it must be the girls that's mostly too introvert and shy(but now it's already 3 years for the later)
The management/staff seems already take long noticed but quiet late for bring up some improvement attempts like recent topics and segments regard. Well it wont be any better if they become so noisy or became cheerleader's like akb48 tho', the impression, at least just dont be some dead crowd in reaction.

Low key dorama by the one and only Hirokazu Kore-edathis is truly a gem. Now imagine if one marathon of koreeda for almost 8 hours - or even imagine ozu or naruse did a tv series - now that's definitely and simply stomp the decalogue :D

The lovely, so feel natural conversation and interaction, the chemistry and the rich characters conveyed so well. The stories (and the foods), these subtle way of storytelling, the delicacy, the social commentary, full life lesson that is not shove into your throat, an eye opener journey, and bla bla bla any praise word i can digest right now

4.5 - koreeda went lowkey without lowering his game instead played an attractive one in such minimalism

fine episodic show, nearly average. idk how to called these old trope that seems pretty popular in japan, that even Cowboy Bebop basically just "rehearse" these type of thing again(tho' the later slightly differ since its bounty hunter).
the approach was quiet resemblance to mahoro ekimae bangaichi by the trope , and style(because its share the same director). only less intriguing, quiet thin in source material and in the execution.

currently, still on my queue
Saiko no Rikon (2013)

almost forgot this one

Kangoku no Ohimesama (2017)

again, kudokan tackled interesting, over the top premise. tho' seem thing just not at his best.
