my review =)

Synopsis :

Although she has lived in luxury, the well-bred Seira is kind and generous, earning her many friends at the school. One person who dislikes Seira is the school's director, though she treats Seira well due to the father's fortune. Then, during Seira's 16th birthday party, the director informs her that her father has died, leaving her penniless. As a result, she is forced to work as a servant in order to pay off her school bills. --Tokyograph

This dorama is based on the classic book of Little Princess. I haven't read the book yet hahaha. Anyway for me that haven't read the book there are nothing I'm gonna compare. So the storyline is interesting, a very sad drama. I love everything in here. Seira is really a nice person, to naive haha.

I thought this gonna be a kid drama so I didn't expect any love story in here. As story progress I can see some love in this drama. The ending really show the love relationship and I actually feel emotional. This drama have ended and I really want to see more Seira after she become rich haha.

The story progress too slow but at each episode is entertaining as they reveals new sub-plot. Well I can't watch this drama more than 1 in 1 day because it so depressing. However as the story progress it becoming more and more interesting.

The annoying/lovable characters are the Chieko and her sister. Their siblings relationship look like hated relationship but at the end well I know that deep down they love each other haha.



Anyway, this drama is really interesting and sad. If you on the mood for depressing and motivational drama. Go on watch this drama.  I rate this drama 3 and half out of 5..

The OST is from UverWorld. I'm surprised to hear Takuya voice at the credits haha..

Yay another Hajime!!!! Happy to see another Hajime!!!

My review. It just interesting to see Seungri and Wu Chun in one Japanese SP. There are a lot other famous actor here like Eric Tsang. Woah.. o.O

So this SP does it achieve my expectation or not? Well I watching this one without reading any synopsis or review. So it actually quite a shock seeing Seungri, Wu Chun and Eric Tsang in this SP. The actor as Kindachi? He managed to show that silly and serious Hajime really well. There are only one thing bothering me. I don't know this is the fault of script or something else but this Hajime didn't really show the Hajime that really protect Miyuki. He have a really positive attitude about Miyuki's mishap and didn't worry about her until the SP nearly end.

Wu Chun acting is great but the annoying thing is the dubbing hahaha.. Seungri have less screen time and seems like he should get more screen time.

The storyline is interesting but it have many plot hole. As I mention above, Hajime is totally forget about Miyuki until the critical times. o.O

Overall, this SP is entertaining to watch but too much plot hole. With that I rate this SP with 3 out of 5..

Synopsis :

Mochizuki Kotaro is a mild-mannered, unmanly high school student. One day, he visits a library and meets the mysterious librarian Himiko, who recommends to him an ancient book about a heroic general from the Sengoku period 400 years ago. Kotaro notices that he has the same name and age as the general described in the book, and he experiences a flashback... Kotaro later mentions the book to his father, who tells him that he may be the descendent of a powerful samurai. At that moment, Kotaro receives a message from his childhood friend Ai telling him that their classmate Nakamura Tsuyoshi is in trouble. He rushes to the scene but doesn't have the guts to help, until another flashback transforms him into a samurai! --Tokyograph

Synopsis source : d-addicts

I started watching this drama yesterday morning.. Well it is good enough that make me wanting to see more.. Haha.. :D The storyline is interesting. It just fun to see another side of Miura. Already watch the cool hacker Miura (Bloody Monday), delinquent romantic Miura (Koizora Movie) and now slacker and cool samurai haha. XD

Miura really managed to distinguish the character between samurai and slacker version. I really see the differences between two version. Anyway, this drama is funny and entertaining enough. The moral story in this drama is fitting for me. Well I'm one of the people who didn't know what to do in their life.. =.=

Shirota Yu as Nakamura also another great characters. Watch him in Hana Kimi (Hana Kimi review) and in this drama he is more soft guy. Haha interesting character for him. Ai is kinda weird. She always pouting.. Haha However she does have a great voice. :D



Ai singing : click here for source 

Anyway, this drama is another interesting drama. Love it and with that I rate this drama 4 out of 5.. :D

Synopsis :

Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg creates the social networking site that would become known as Facebook, but is later sued by two brothers who claimed he stole their idea, and the cofounder who was later squeezed out of the business.

Synopsis source : iMDb

Movie about The Facebook. First I thought what is the interesting about the development of The Facebook. They managed to make a twist on this story. The storyline is interesting. As an software developer I can related myself with what they are doing. I wish I can be that successful at age twenties. @_@

Anyway the storyline is interesting. This movie does make Mark looks like a jerk. Overall this movie is worth the time. Like it and I rate it 3 and half out of 5.. :D

~Kei~

Synopsis :

This is the second season of Hiiro no Kakera. It is a continuation of the first season that follows the adventure of Princess Tamayori and her guardians.

My review. The storyline have been progress in the second season. The storyline is interesting, but the story is becoming so boring. The way the story unfolds itself is boring. I took 3 times longer watching time than average 22 episodes tv series. This story have many plot hole and sometimes , I actually didn't understand what the story is all about. I didn't know what is the purpose of the guy with glasses? The Tamayori hime bloodline another thing that is confusing me. Her grandma is Tamayori Hime right? Tamaki and her grandmother is the same person from the past? Weird!!!! I don't understand!!!

The character's development is poor. The story focus too much on Tamaki and Takuma, it seems like none character's development on other guardians. It even weird that the bad guys calling the guardians with nicknames with whatsoever similarities with them (Only at last episode I understand the nicknames). Anyway, the action just ok I guess. I hope to see some action with Tamaki. She is useless. I don't even see any power other than some light here and there. Meh she suppose to actually fight other than stand at one side and praying @_@

Anyway. This anime is just ok for me. Watching it again? No!! I rate this anime 2 out of 5.. =.=;

Synopsis :

The story follows the adventures of Aang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, who must put his childhood ways aside and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations.

Synopsis source : iMDb

I'm a big fan of Avatar!! When the trailer is out I'm so excited to watch it. Finally when I do watch it, this movie is a huge disappointment. I hate almost everything in here. The actors, the names calling and the plot. First of all, the characters, I like Avatar because there are funny scene that always made by Sokka and in this movie Sokka is so serious and make the story flat and boring. The only great is Iroh as he managed to capture the Iroh's wisdom. The second thing is, stop make a wrong name pronunciation. I kept corrected the pronunciation of Aang name the entire movie. It so disturbing Zzzz. The third one the plot. I know that it is hard to compile the entire season to one movie but at least can u stop the narration? Seems like the narration make the story becoming flat and I don't have whatsoever emotion when Yue die. @_@

Anyway I'm not gonna make a long review on this one. Many review have been done on this movie. I rate this movie 1 and half out of 5.. At least the CGI effect and the action of Aang and Zuko combination is great. :D

This movie have an interesting storyline. At the beginning the storyline actually look promising and interesting, however towards the ends, the storyline becoming more and more confusing. The ending just horrible. It makes me say.. "Huh? What the story is about again?" The ending kinda stupid.

Anyway, to make this review short. This movie trying to be funny but doesn't really make me laugh. Only have a huge of fan service for the guys. Other than that? Just ok for me. With that I rate this movie 2 and half out of 5.. :D

Synopsis source : iMDb

This movie is suppose the story before Robin Hood becoming the outlaw. Prequel movie.

My review. This movie is too long and boring. It took me more than 1 day to finish it. The first 1 hour is unbearable. After 1 hour the story finally start to pick up and becoming more interesting. For me the story have too much politic issue that hard for me to understand. This movie is not the kind of movie that I can just enjoy it. I need to think what they are talking about. At first I have a huge expectation on this movie. When I finally watch it, I'm sort of disappointed .

Overall, this movie is just ok for me. Towards the end the story start to pick up and becoming more interesting. Anyway, this movie just ok for me, not bad and not good either. I rate this movie 3 out of 5.. :D

This OVA have a simple storyline. Interesting but so simple and flat. The entire 40 minutes there are less 10 characters. Well it just ok for me. Not really great and not really bad. The action look so simple and nothing to look forward to.

Anyway, this OVA just ok. Great for anyone who is a mecha fan. I rate this OVA 2 out of 5.. :D

Synopsis :

The second season of the NBC American supernatural drama series Grimm premiered on August 13, 2012 and consisted of 22 episodes. The series, created by David Greenwalt, Jim Kouf and Stephen Carpenter, follows a descendant of the Grimm line, Nick Burkhardt, as he deals with being a cop, and trying not to expose his secret as a Grimm.

Synopsis source : wiki

I don't have any great expectation regarding with second season. The first season as I have mentioned earlier in my review is not that great. However, this second season, the storyline is becoming more interesting and actually entertaining. The second season, it have more progress on main plot and the storyline have been more interesting. Even Juliette becoming less annoying and she have some role in the tv series. Herm sort of.. Maybe she will be more useful in season 3.

Anyway, this season is way better than 1st season. Love it and I'm glad I didn't stop watching at the first season. I rate this season 4 out of 5.. :D

My review.. After watching Uta no onisan (click here for review), I just want to see more Ohno.. So Kaibutsu-kun, I'm not really a fan of the anime. Watch it a long time ago and I don't really remember it much. So this review basically on this drama, I'm not going to compare with the anime or manga.

This drama is a child tv show, but it really entertaining. Seeing Ohno with an innocent side. Well this drama is really funny. It fun to watch when you want something entertaining. The ending moral values are quite funny. Kaibutsu-kun way of interpreting thing is funny. "Lie is the best!!" haha

The storyline is interesting and funny. This tv show is for child so the action looks funny and simple. There are no brutal or violent action, just a simple and funny action haha.

Anyway, the acting is really great. Kaibutsu-kun really portray his emotion and at the 3rd episode, Ohno really managed to portray two different version of Kaibutsu-kun. Other than that, Franken is another amazing character. Even the only word that he say is "Hunga" but with different tone and body language I actually understand what he is saying or trying to say.


The OST is great. Another OST from ARASHI - Monster. This going to be on my playlist haha..


Video source : click here

Anyway, this is another great drama from Ohno.. With that I rate this drama 5 out of 5... I'm looking forward to see another drama by ARASHI group member. Feel free to comment any recommendation drama/movie by ARASHI haha :D
