my review =)

After done with the dorama off to the SP haha... Jyoou no Kyoushitsu or also known Queen's Classroom...
(Review Jyoou no Kyoushitsu Dorama)

Synopsis :

This is a special episode of the drama The Queen's Classroom. In this special episode we will find out the past of Maya Akutsu.
Yuki Amami plays Maya Akutsu, a sixth-grade teacher who dresses all in black and is repeatedly referred to as "oni sensei" (the teacher from hell), when, in fact, she seems to be an ultrarealist at heart. The drama focuses on a year in her classroom and, particularly, the effect it has on 12-year-old Kazumi--a nice but mediocre student whose parents want to send her to a private secondary school.

Akutsu-sensei accomplished this feat by introducing a test-based rank and privilege system on the first day. The highest scorers on the Monday morning test get their choice of seats and other perks while the two lowest scorers are burdened with all the chores for the week from blackboard and toilet cleaning to serving lunch. The system also disallows toilet breaks during class because this reflects an inability to manage one's own schedule.

So like the synopsis said... This SP (special) is focus on the oni sensei (devil teacher)... What happen to her that makes her becoming an fearsome teacher...

The first part focus on her first school and the second part focus on her second school.... For me the storyline is great... It really show the character development and how different she was when she first becoming a teacher.... This SP really show what happen to her and in my opinion I becoming more and more addictive with this dorama... Anyway overall this SP is really great and must watch if you already watch the dorama and want to know more about Akutsu Sensei... What I can say about her is that she really a great teacher :D

So in the conclusion... I give this dorama 4 and half out of 5... Love it :D

Jyoou no Kyoushitsu or also known as The Queen's Classroom....

Synopsis :

Yuki Amami plays Maya Akutsu, a sixth-grade teacher who dresses all in black and is repeatedly referred to as "oni sensei" (the teacher from hell), when, in fact, she seems to be an ultrarealist at heart. The drama focuses on a year in her classroom and, particularly, the effect it has on 12-year-old Kazumi--a nice but mediocre student whose parents want to send her to a private secondary school.

Akutsu-sensei accomplished this feat by introducing a test-based rank and privilege system on the first day. The highest scorers on the Monday morning test get their choice of seats and other perks while the two lowest scorers are burdened with all the chores for the week from blackboard and toilet cleaning to serving lunch. The system also disallows toilet breaks during class because this reflects an inability to manage one's own schedule.

Kazumi gets the first week's work assignment along with the class clown, a warmhearted boy who is not nearly as silly as he acts. The child actors in the series are all likeable pros who give realistic portrayals of the wide spectrum of an average classroom from the isolated serious students to the sophisticated girls who think they already know what life is all about. Akutsu-sensei lets them know immediately that they do not have a clue.

When the students protest her system and call it unfair, she tells them to open their eyes. In Japanese society, she lectures, those who work hard or have influence get all the privileges, and the lazy or less affluent end up with the leftovers. She says only six in 100 people can expect to be happy and the elite already have most of the advantages and access to the best medical care. She tells them that, as products of the public school system, they will have to scramble to get anything at all, and most of them will end up as "bonjin" (ordinary people), to whom those on the top will be happy to leave the soldiering and service-sector jobs.

Sorry for the long synopsis.. That is all that I can get... So anyway... This is my review!!!

So my first impression for this dorama is kinda dark and mysterious dorama or something along that route... The first couple of minutes of this dorama make me want to stop watching... It is an old dorama.. There are no actors that I actually know.. The actor seems plain and the child actor just plain... For me this is just another "wasting my time dorama"... However I ended watching the rest of it because I already get this dorama so just watch it anyway... Watch it at the end of episode 1 I feel this dorama actually quite good... So I ended watch episode 2,3 and 4.. Starting from episode 4 the story getting more and more interesting... I actualy keep watching the next episode without hesitation.... I actually finish this dorama in 2 days.... What I can say this dorama really give a big impact to me... I cried and becoming more emotional when watching this dorama....




This dorama becoming more and more interesting towards the ending and I can actually see the character development on all the characters in this dorama...

So yeah this dorama is another great dorama and I'll recommended for people who like to watch gokusen, GTO, Rookies or something like that.. I give it 4 and half out of 5!!!

Finally I got the chance to watch this dorama...

Synopsis :

Kamiya Naoki is a young player from a professional basketball team. But due to his relatively smaller size and his tendency to crack under pressure, he is unable to show his true skills on the court. Meanwhile, Shirakawa Riko is a cheerful, strong-spirited music college graduate aiming to become a professional violinist. One day, Riko finds Naoki's lost cell phone on a bus, and their meeting begins a friendship that eventually turns into love. However, Naoki was already considering marriage with his current girlfriend. And it doesn't help matters that Naoki's coach has fallen in love at first sight with Riko! --Tokyograph

My review...

So why it takes a long time for me actually watch this.. I have this dorama more than 2 years already but I don't have the desire to watch it.. I haven't read the manga yet.. So I don't know what is the storyline.. I just know it is about basketball.. Typical sports dorama I think.. How I'm wrong... It is more than that.. It is about the dreams and I think this dorama is more to romance... Haha... I just love Japanese drama romance... It is sweet and unexpected haha.... Seeing Yamapi and Keiko Kitagawa seems like a perfect couple... I watch her before in Mop Girl .. She more mature in here rather than in Mop Girl (review here) so it kinda fun seeing her with another side of acting.. Yamapi is great as always.. haha...



So the storyline is great.. It doesn't focus only on the basketball.. It more about the Noaki and Riko and people around them... and of course romance... Ahhh so sweet.. I spent almost 2 days watching the whole dorama... (I do have a life... That is why it took 2 or else it can be 1 day.. haha)


The cast here is great here... Many actor that I actually recognize .. Yamapi of course.. Keiko Kitagawa, Aibu Saiki (as Natsuki ) from the Zettai Kareshi (review here) and Mizobata Junpei (as Shuji) from the Detective Conan and Hachi One Diver (review here)... There are a lot more but this is the one that I remember at this point haha


So overall this is really a great dorama and I give it 4 and half out of 5.. I need more.. It gonna takes time to adjust life without Buzzer Beat... I need to get another drama soon!!!....

My review... Because of this is an old movie so I'm gonna brief about it... Interesting storyline but I watch  much better adventure / fantasy animation before this... The adventure how should I say... Too fast and simple... Well it need more action or adventure... So that is about the storyline...

The animation... I don't know why the animation kinda creeps me up.. Is it how the animation move or something I don't know but it weird to see the animation moves..

So aside that the movie have something that making me want to know more and ended up finish watching the movie.. It is funny in some of the scene.. That I can give credits to it... So yeah overall just something nice to spend time on.. Give it 2 and half out of 5....

My review...

Old movie that I just recently watched... So my review is that this movie kinda have an interesting storyline... That is what make me want to watch it on the first place... Then as I started to watch... It bore me... The action is there but the story development is too slow and hard to understand... Well the CGI is just ok I guess... So the only good thing I guess is watching the Ken'ichi Matsuyama (L in Death Note) as Kamui..

So overall this is just ok movie... Doesn't give big impact to me anyway haha.. So I give it 2 and half out of 5....

My review....

So the plot is the same with before.. Trying to make a smile on the customer and that... This movie focus on trying to make this girl happy.. So aside from that.. It is nothing much... It does have some character development between Hikaru-Kaoru-Haruhi-Tamaki.... But just that nothing really major change in here and I don't think it will ever be.. If there are some changes on their relationship the story will never be the same.. I didn't really read all the manga yet.. So I don't know the ending but for now.. From the movie it is just another mission to make the customer happy.. Other than that.. We can see some side story about Tamaki and some development with Haruhi but it just small development.... I want more about Hikaru.. He is so cute haha...


So that is about the storyline.. Aside from the plot and the storyline... This movie is hilarious.. Haha I forgot the last time I laugh like that.... It so funny....

So overall.. This story is funny and all but do not expect anything in here... I give it 3 and half out of 5... It so funny xD

So I finally finish the final book of Trylle trilogy.. So a bit synopsis first

Synopsis from the back cover :

The stakes have never been higher, because her kingdom isn't the only thing she stands to lose. After falling for both  Finn and Loki , she's about to make the ultimate  choice.. who  to love forever. One guy has finally proven to be the love of her life  - and now all  their lives might be coming to end. 

Everything has been leading to this moment. The future of her entire world  rests in her hands - if she's ready to fight for it."

The tagline for this books is..

"What if  the only way to save your world is to leave it behind?"

Ascend is the continuation from the Book 2 : Torn (click here for review) from the Trylle Trilogy. The first book is Switched (click here fore review)..


*Spoiler alert!!!! *

My review... I don't know why.. This book seems so sad for me.. Wendy becoming  more mature and I just missed how innocent she is in the book one... Switched( Click here for review) ...  She becoming more like her mother... What else.. I  just missed Finn,  Rhys and Matt in this book... They seems  like a  minor  characters now and I just want more story involving them :(

*End Spoiler*

So yeah.. The storyline is great and all... I just missed some of the characters... :( I can see the character development in most  of the characters... Then the  ending  is great.. It really conclude the Trylle trilogy... What else?? I  think that is all... I give it 3 and half out of 5....

Yay finally I get the this copies... Really dying  to read it and now I just got it....

So the synopsis from the back cover :

"When Wendy  Everly  first discovered the truth about herself - that she's a changeling switched at birth  - she knew her life would never be the same. Now she's about to learn that there's more to the story.... 

Wendy shares a closer connection to her Vittra rivals  that she ever imagined - and  they'll stop at nothing to lure her to their side.With the threat of war looming, her only  hope of saving the Trylle is  to master her magical powers - and marry an equally powerful royal. But that  means walking away from Finn, her handsome bodyguard who's strictly off-limits.... and Loki, a Vittra prince  with whom  she shares a  growing attraction. 

Torn between  her heart and her people, between love and duty, Wendy must decide her fate. If she makes the wrong choice, she could  lose everything - and everybody - she's ever wanted... in both worlds."

The  tagline of  this novel is

"To save your friends, would you  sacrifice true love?"

This novel is the continuation of the novel Switched that I  had review  before.(click here to view  the review)

This novel is still great.. I like how the author trying to remind reader some of the terms that had  been explained on  the Switched. This novel's title Torn really show what it really mean..  At first I thought she is  torn into going back to human life or going back being a princess.. I guess I was wrong.. It is more than  that she is torn between her responsibility and her desire.. Torn between two sides.. The good sides and the bad sides  which both needs her..

So for  me  this novel is great.. I need more.. I finish  it only in one day!! o.O I can see  the characters development in here...  Wendy from being a spoiled, stubborn and innocent girls becoming more  mature  princess...  It kinda sad seeing her like that.. She becoming more like her mother =.=;

So anyway  overall love  this novel I'm give 4 out of 5.. :D

Looking forward on  the final sequel..  Ascend :D

My review....

This is an amazing movie... Well it does not have an action scene of fighting monster or anything  like that.. It is not a comedy movie.. But it have their own sparks.. Well  I had to admit that sometimes it kinda boring in some of the scenes but once you watch it you end up wanting to know more..The story had many moral values that can be learnt..

The value of friendship... I just love the tiger.. So adorable... This movie make me sad, amaze and emotional. The scene in this movie  is just beautiful... The ocean scenery at night is just breathtaking... I just love it.. Aside from that the storyline  is great...


So overall in this movie I give it 4 out of 5!!... :D
