Anego (jap drama)

Naoko Noda, who works in a trading company, is called 'anego' by her younger co-workers. What is anego? It means older sister, but in this case, it's given as a nickname to Naoko, because she is like a big sister to her co-workers, who depend on her to give them advice about everything. This drama, based on a popular novel, depicts realistically how Naoko lives her everyday life, including her love life, the problems she faces and her uneasiness about the future.
i really enjoyed this series as it is very realistic just as the synopsis describes. in some ways, i find myself fortunate that i don't have to face the problems that she faces. that's so stressful, and i believe that we find that in reality too, not just reel.
there were comic moments and serious moments too, even psychological at times. the quotes that she gives usually in the beginning of each episode is note worthy. it also helps that the cast is good looking especially with our main leads, shinohara ryoko(naoko) and akanishi jin(akihiko,or kusa something...soryyy><)
i definitely recommend this drama, it's a good watch, 10 episodes which is just nice too, with a special as well. the special has some recaps and yes it starts off where ep 10 left off so it's kind of like the conclusion to the series with an open ending which is kind of obvious probably. you can find all the episodes on daily motion. enjoy all.

Brigadoon:Marin to(&) Melan (anime)

Marin is a typical junior high school girl with a loving adoptive family. Her life takes a drastic change when a mysterious mirage is seen in the sky above the entire Earth. Killer androids called Monomakia descend to Earth from the formation in the sky, which is called Brigadoon (named after a town in the musical of the same name, that only appears on Earth at certain times) and begin to hunt down Marin. As she seeks to escape, she discovers a blue "ampoule" in a shrine; from the ampoule comes a protector, a sword-carrying, gun-slinging alien called Melan Blue. Together they must save the Earth and deal with family crises, school prejudice and the police, and come to an understanding of Marin's past and Melan's unexplained mission, as well as learn to trust each other.
well this anime is like maybe 10 years old now. it was made in around 2000 and i have to admit, i thoroughly enjoyed it. of course there are loopholes here and there but hey, it's an anime. surprisingly, not only does it have its funny moments, and believe me, there were tons, but it's also really touching and sad. very realistic in some areas. well the idea anyway. the ending was a little open ended i guess although there were hints that they were happy together although it wasn't shown, only said in text. i wish i could have seen it though but oh well. it has been quite some time since i last enjoyed an anime so much. too bad it's finished now, hope to watch more great animes soon. all the episodes are on youtube so enjoy!

One day, when he's heading home, a nearby pay phone rings, and he picks it up. The only thing he hears however is his own voice echoing. After finding a mysterious card with the word 'Psyren' printed on it, his life suddenly changes as he is drawn into a crazy new world.
another manga and this is quite a good one. it's finally completed and i'm a little sad that it ended so soon. well 145 chapters is quite a lot though, but i had hoped it would continue. the ending was nice, but i wasn't like wowed or anything by it. the plot can be quite complicating but as the series progresses, you'll slowly start to understand. the art is great and there's so much humor despite all the action in it. there's also some romance which is a big big plus for me hehehehehe it's one of my favourites in my top ten manga together with 'from far away'. love that latter a lot too hehe
well you can find this series in mangafox and mangareader and it's complete! so you won't have to keep waiting for updates and all. enjoy^_^

Ian s childhood friend returns and Tokage gets him into trouble, and slowly Ian begins to unravel the past and realise who he is, and solve the Fairy Murders.
at first, i thought that this was just a fluffy manga so i wasn't really bothered to read it. it also didn't help that it was only 18 chapters long which was a little short for me. but one day, to pass time, i decided to go ahead and read it and surprisingly enjoyed. i won't really say it's excellent but for a manga of that length, i think it's good.
the art is great. and the story could have been even better if it had been longer with more details. but still, it had almost everything that i enjoy-comedy, action, fantasy, romance. the ending was ok for me as i was hoping for a little more. overall, it's a good read to pass your time if you've got nothing to do online. you can find it on mangareader and it's complete. enjoy

Ookami-San (anime)

Ryoko Okami is a tomboyish high school girl. She is a Member of a 'trading' club so called Otogi High School Bank. She and the other members of the club fixes student's or client's problems at any lengths, in exchange for the students helping them out later.

well this anime, i wouldn't call it excellent but it definitely helps in passing time. it's a romantic comedy and i learnt a new word. sochophobia...wrong spelling? well, anyway, this apparently means a fear of being seen and our hero has it lol and our hero here is ryoushi who actually manages to confess to ryoko. grins there are some really moments and then, there are some really hilarious moments. but one thing i didn't enjoy and yet did enjoy was the narrator. why i didn't like that was because it got mixed when our heroes were talking and was hard to see the subtitles. there were too many and was hard to distinguish who was speaking what...well it's confusing but you'll know what i mean when you do see this anime.

and yet at the same time, i did enjoy the narration because the voice actor was so good. there was so much emotion in the narration itself hehe made me really laugh at times. kudos to the narrator.

this is just a simple anime, no such complicating plots and all. but if you're looking for some lighthearted comedy with some romance in it, you might want to give this a try. it's complete and online. you might want to try veoh, it has all the episodes with english subtitles. enjoy^_^

Bad Guy(korean drama)

i finally finished watching this. it took me quite a while although it's just 17 episodes as the genre is not really my cup of tea. this is more tragic, psychological, sad, suspense, mystery with of course, a bit of romance. but still, i completed as i was really drawn to the characters especially our main leads.
gun wook wants revenge against haeshin group, a company to whom tae soong is the heir. jae in is a woman who wants to marry rich so that she can live comfortably...their lives become entangled.
what can i say? it was kind of a dark series but some parts really touched me and got to me. although i enjoyed this series, i'm more of a happy ever after person, so i definitely didn't like the tragedy and the ending. i hoped it could have been better but it broke my heart...so you guys can guess what's likely to happen huh hehe kk no spoilers more than this. all in all, this drama is a nice addition to those of you who are interested in suspense and mystery. that was great and kept me thinking though i had my suspicions. i watched this is dramacrazy although you can find it in mysoju as well. hope you enjoy this.

Runaway Plan B is Great

i know i said i would write after this show was complete but i couldn't help it. i'm now nearly halfway through the series and runaway plan b is on the right track for me. not only doesn it have action, mystery, suspense and romance as its genres, it also has lots of comedy. it's in one word...hilarious!!
even the policeman is funny at times hehehe the cast, everyone is great. i sure hope to see more of rain in action romantic roles sighhhh a love to kill was great but too sad. that was one of my favourites though, his emotions were great there. i thought daniel henney would have some small part as the boyfriend but he seems to be getting even more mysterious but one thing's for sure in the show, he definitely loves our heroine. that is so sweet so it's gonna be a little sad when jinni(our heroine has to choose between them) both our guys are great also, so much adventure with great scenes, i'm kinda jealous hehe.
and right now near the halfway mark, seems like jiwoo(rain) is beginning to realise his feelings. man, i can't wait for the updates now. pity i can't understand korean sheesh oh well all i can do is wait. i hope you guys are enjoying this as much as i am.
i'm adding this a few days later. finally got to see episodes 8 and 9 and boy the cliffhanger is killing me!!! what happens next??? i hope it's uploaded fast.
