I watch this SP after the drama season so for me the plot is kinda weird.. Anyway... The storyline is interesting, well it follows the manga but a bit different with character background..

Gonna make a short review for this one.. I'll continue reviewing on season 3 episodes.. (click here for review)

So this SP I'm gonna give 3 and half out of 5... :D

Synopsis :

The Young Kindaichi is back and better than ever! In this first of many cases, Kindaichi finds himself onboard a cruise ship in which the captain mysteriously disappears the day after a big party. A search of the ship finds nothing, except for little drops of blood on the light switch in the captain's room. Might it be a clue perhaps? You bet! When what looks to be a case of serious foul play unfolds, the ship's radio is found disabled-so much for contacting the authorities. So, far out at sea until they can reach land, it's up to Kindaichi and friends to find the killer - and stay alive! -- NTV

Synopsis : d-addicts

Continue from my previous review (click here for review).. I'm gonna talk more about this drama.. So what I don't like about this drama.. The thing I don't like is the actors.. Sorry to say.. Matsumoto didn't suitable becoming Hajime.. I'm a big fans of Matsumoto.. It just that he is too cool to be Hajime.. Hajime that is playful and silly seems to be too cool when Matsumoto becoming Hajime.. Miyuki is just annoying in this drama.. She look so childish, annoying and too loud.. Well Miyuki in here just annoying and I prefer if she is not here.. Sorry to say but I keep comparing the previous season with this one and I really like the previous one..

Other than that the plot seems to have some plot hole.. It shows Reiko but doesn't explain where they meet. If I didn't watch the previous season I will not understand.. Even Reiko's characters background story is different...

So for a good thing.. The storyline is actually very interesting.. Well the cases in interesting enough and I do like them.. With that I rate this drama 3 and half out of 5... :D

Sword Art Online Extra Edition [2013]

Synopsis :

Yui wants to see a whale with Kirito during an underwater quest in Alfeim Online. During the quest however, it is revealed Leafa cannot swim. Asuna and the other female characters decide to train Suguha in a real-world pool to help her in ALO. Meanwhile, Kirito meets a certain someone.

Synopsis source : myanimelist

This SP is disappointing.. Guess I'm hoping to see some story development.. Well I'm disappointed.. This SP just full of flashback and just a tiny bit of extra story that doesn't really matter.. Interesting a bit but not really important..

Well I guess the story development will be on the second season that will be aired soon.. So I'm looking forward for the season.. For now.. This SP is disappointed and I can only rate this SP 2 and half out of 5...

This is the last SP with Domoto Tsuyoshi... For the last one I really enjoy it.. The storyline is great, follows the manga. This is gonna be a short review.. So what I'm gonna say is this SP is great and fun to watch.. It nice to see Chinese acrobatic.. What else...

I enjoy this SP and I just wish more scene with both Domoto Tsuyoshi (Kindaichi Hajime) and Tomosaka Rie (Nanase Miyuki). They just look great together.. Sad that I'm gonna see other actors after this SP.. So anyway.. As usual I rate this SP 4 and half out 5.. :D

Synopsis :

Kindaichi was the grandson of a famous detective, and although had an IQ of 180, did not do well in school. He cracked many cases using logic and the leads he could find at the scenes of murder. Although the murderers could be predictable at times, it is interesting to see how he solved the mystery. -- Le Chateau de Jo

Synopsis source : d-addicts

 This the second season.. This season still maintaning the same actor from the season 1.. This drama as always.. Interesting storyline.. I just hope there are more cases in one season... I think this gonna be a short review because all I want to say I already said on the perevious review Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo Season 1 (click here for review)

So any fans of Hajime Kindaichi will love this drama.. With that I end this review with rate this drama 5 out of 5... I really like the OST XD

Synopsis :

Synopsis source : iMDb

Watch it yesterday.. Didn't watch the trailer... It is something that I decide to watch at the spur of moment.. So I don't have any expectation when watching this movie.. For me this movie have a simple storyline.. It doesn't even have any romance scene at all... It just focus on one purpose and the story just progress about the main purpose...

So anyway.. Even the storyline is so simple but I do enjoy watching this movie.. The fighting scene is really amazing.. Well watching in cinema it really have a great sound effect compare at home... Even the Frankenstein monster look handsome.. Haha different than what other people portray what he look like.. He look macho to me .. The effect on this movie is quite good.. It is interesting how the Gargoyle dies there will be a stream of light...

Anyway they can make more plot with this movie but it is acceptable for me.. Simple but I do enjoy watching it.. With that I rate this movie 3 out of 5.. :D

Master's Sun [2013]

Synopsis :

Joo Joong Won (So Ji Sub) is a cold and ambitious CEO, who measures all human relationships through money. Tae Gong Shil (Gong Hyo Jin) is a sensitive assistant, who suffers from insomnia, due to her ability to see ghosts after an accident. Joong Won will learn to trust Gong Shil and falls in love with her.

Synopsis source : d-addicts

This is another Korean drama.. Usually I don't really like romance Korean's drama.. It have the same storyline, however this drama is one of the few that I really like.. This drama have the same vibe with Ghost Whisper but more funny, romantic and sort of complicated storyline.. I really like the storyline, the effect with the ghost and the actors.. They managed to pull off the scary and funny scene really well..

The storyline is kinda complicated but at the end of this drama I have this satisfaction feeling that everything have been solved. The drama have it all.. This drama make me laugh out loud, emotional, scared and even cried in one of the episode. (The dog's scene really make me cried :'( )

ALERT SPOILER

 SPOILER END

Other than that.. I like everything in this drama except at the end.. Tae Gong Shil becoming annoying when she tries very hard to distant himself.. Too much ego????

Haha anyway... This is really great drama and recommended!!! I rate this drama 4 out of 5 :D

Kamen Rider Kiva [2008]

Synopsis :

Twenty-two years after the disappearance of his father, Wataru Kurenai lives in an infamous "haunted house" where he is destined as Kamen Rider Kiva to fight life-draining monsters called Fangires, the very race his father fought years ago before his disappearance. Wataru must also deal with Kamen Rider Ixa who is part of an organization seeking to destroy the Fangire menace, as well as the Fangires' own Rider, Kamen Rider Saga. The story is split between the actions of Wataru in the present (2008–09) and his father Otoya in the past (1986–87), slowly revealing the link between the Fangire Race and Kiva. 
The characters of Kamen Rider Kiva are spread throughout two time periods, each related to one another. There are the actions of Otoya Kurenai and the Fangire Hunter Yuri Aso with the Wolfen Jiro in the year 1986 with the first Ixa Ver.I that result in the various Fangires that persist to the current day, in 2008, with Otoya's son Wataru (as Kamen Rider Kiva) along and Keisuke Nago (as Kamen Rider Ixa Ver.X) and Yuri's daughter Megumi (also a Fangire Hunter), dealing with the Fangires to prevent deaths.
Synopsis source : wikipedia

Another Kamen Rider!!! So this is the time for Kiva.. My first impression on this drama it is hard to understand.. I have to watch until episode 4 or something that I actually notice that this drama is based on two different time... After notice the drama have two different time, I notice that the way they tell audience which year there are watching is interesting ...

SPOILER ALERT

So what I don't like... At the end Otoya becoming playboy?? Keep saying he have fate women but falling in love with other people.. Pity.. Yuri seems been cast away at the end of drama.. Well I actually hoping to see who he ended up marrying with...

SPOILER END

Other than that.. This drama have a really interesting storyline.. Interesting on how two different time is connected with each other.. This drama make me thinking and wondering a lot.. Wataru is really an interesting character.. There are some point he is so pathetic and annoying but it looks like a very great character development.. Well he seems different from the first episode... :D

With that... I rate this drama.. 3 and half out of 5... The OST is really great and catchy :D

Sword Art Online [2012]

Sword Art Online also known as SAO.. This anime is based on novel with the same title...

Synopsis :

The players of a virtual reality MMORPG, Aincrad Online, are trapped and fighting for their very lives. After it is announced that the only way to leave the game is by beating it, Kirito—a very powerful swordsman—and his friends take on a quest to free all the minds trapped in Aincrad.

Synopsis source : animenewsnetwork

So my review.. A bit of late but I don't care.. Anyway.. This anime have too much bad review but for me I actually love this anime...

The bad thing on this anime... It have some negative factor in this anime.. For example.. This anime have progress too fast that when I have watch the next episode I have the feeling that I miss important scene before this.. The character development is bad.. There seems to have a character development but I don't understand why... Asuna for example is totally different in the beginning she seems like a timid person with a great power but than later on this anime she totally changed to leader like person.. I don't even know why she becoming like that.. She seems like a totally different person... Kirito.. He have some character development but from the beginning it seems like he is already too strong and always win.. Seems like he is set to be hero from the beginning and a girl magnets.... What I don't like is that every person that been shown in each episode only shown once and later on the characters will be cast aside... Haha.. It seems like the important characters only Kirito and Asuna... @_@

So anyway... The great thing about this anime... Even with all this negative factor in this anime.. I actually really enjoy this anime.. It have a great storyline... I have many questions that have been answered in this anime... It been a long time that I enjoy watching anime and I can't stop watching the next episode.. So I ended up finish watching this anime almost 3 days.. (I also have life..)

So anyway.. If you just want to enjoy watching anime this is the one... With that I rate this anime 4 out of 5....

I just can't wait for the second season :D

also known as Princess Returning Pearl / Princess Pearl

Synopsis :

Xiao Yan Zi met Xia Zi Wei, a poor girl who marched a long way to find her father, the Emperor, but nobody would take her seriously. Xiao Yan Zi decided to sneak into the mountain where the Emperor hunts, but Zi Wei could not handle the tiring mountain climb, therefore asking Xiao Yan Zi to tell the Emperor her story. On her way, Xiao Yan Zi gets shot and could not fully explain her story, making the Emperor mistaking her for the Princess. Here starts a long and painful story of getting everyone to their proper roles, but many dangers lies near – the death sentence if anyone lies to the emperor, and an evil Empress who is waiting to catch Xiao Yan Zi in the act. Added on top, Xiao Yan Zi's lack of proper manners and knowledge of books has driven her closer to jeopardy.

Synopsis source : d-addicts

This is my old time favourite.. When I re-watch again this drama I just feel so nostalgic.. Hahaha...

Anyway.. This drama is really interesting and funny.. Especially the part with Xiao Yan Zi... Vicki is a great actor that can play the carefree characters.. There are many interesting expression in this drama.. I like to see Yong Qi expression each time Xiao Yan Zi making stupid or funny move...

This drama have many Chinese poem and inside joke that I don't understand.. Guess for people who don't talk Mandarin or Cantonese will never understand some of inside joke...

Other than that.. This drama have a great pace and I for one love this drama.. However.. If there are only scene with Er Kang and Zi Wei it kinda boring.. I don't know.. They are too romantic?? Anyway.. I always fast forward their scene.. Even the scene when Zi Wei showing his poetic and singing skills.. Well I don't understand it so I just skip that scene....

So anyway this drama is great... The ending is great too.. I just want to watch more.. Pity that the second and third season doesn't have subbing... I want to watch more.. I have watch some of the episodes but I want to watch it again.. So if any subbers reading my review.. Please make the 2nd and 3rd season's subbing.. :'( .. I desperately want to watch it until at the point I just gonna watch the raw one.. :(

Ok back to the topic... This drama is so great!! I rate this drama 4 and half out of 5.. :D

Heard that there are new version on this drama... Will get it and make the review of it
after watching the new version.. So that's all.. xD

Synopsis source : d-addicts

The second SP for the first season... This SP featuring more on Hajime than Miyuki
So anyway.. I'm so looking forward to see Akechi but.. In this SP he is so annoying... I just love Akechi in manga but in here he is annoying and rude.. :(

Aside from that... This SP is great and all... I give this SP 3 out of 5....

Synopsis source : d-addicts

This is the first SP in the first season.. I'm gonna make this another short review..

So anyway... This SP have a bit different character background than the series one... It weird that hearing Miyuki call Hajime with Kindaichi-kun.. Seems like they both have been separated for a long time... I didn't read the manga version on this one so I can't really compare both of it...

So anyway.. This another interesting cases... I give this SP review 3 and half out of 5... :D

Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo [1995]

Old drama but I don't care this drama is so great that it need to be review :D

Synopsis :

A young man who showed little promise while a high school student becomes a master detective, just like his grandfather.

Synopsis : d-addicts

This drama is one of my favourite.. When I'm still in school.. My friend and I love to read the manga.. Scary for a little kids.. But we love it.. The live-action have been shown on tv at that times.. Watching it again making me remember the old times.. Anyway.. This drama is obviously follow up the manga.. Disappointed there are no Akechi in here but I still love it... Domoto Tsuyoshi as Kindaichi Hajime is just perfect.. He managed to portrayed the silly but genius Hajime.. Well I love him..

The storyline is amazing... I don't know what else to say other than this drama is amazing and I'm looking forward to watch the second season ;)

Oh ya forgot something... Rate this drama 5 out of 5.. If you a fan of Hajime Kindaichi you will love this one... :D
