Japanese Drama General | Soredemo is a masterpiece Edition

Could use some help. I'd like to get into drama but I don't know what to watch exactly. I've already seen 2: Ataru and Puzzle. The former was great with fun investigations, great characters and development that overlaped the formulaic format in a nice way, the second was lame as fuck. Any rec?

>>15240654
If you want mystery drama, watch Galileo, Trick and Kindaichi.

>>15238785
Anything with Eita is a masterpiece. Saikou no Rikon was fucking great.

Haven't watched anything from 2016 yet though. I heard Seirei no Moribito is good. Any recommendations?

>>15238785
>>15241060
Eita is ugly as fuck, can't stand him.

Kengo Kora is my favorite drama actor.

>>15241060
Is Wakamonotachi good?

>>15242228
I loved it because the actors were great and the conversations really natural, but from what I've seen, the other /jp/ers didn't like it at all. You'll have to see it for yourself.

>>15241414
Superficial much? He doesn't play any ikemen roles so why would it bother you?

Just started watching this one with Matsuda Shota. I'm enjoying it.

>>15241051
I definitely recommend Trick (Abe Hiroshi and Nakama Yukie made a great pair) and Galileo (the role suited well Fuyukama Masaharu).
As for Kindaichi...aren't there at least 4 different versions with Johnny's idols? Are you talking about the first one with the Kinki Kid?

>>15242715
Yeah, only the first two seasons with Tsuyoshi. The rest don't exist for me.

kisarazu cat's eye is not bad

What are some good period dramas?

>>15243328
I liked Six Flying Dragons.

Gomen ne Seishun surprised me with its greatness.

>>15243457
But it's not Japanese.

>>15243328
Maybe you could check asadoras?

>>15243328
Go

My favourite Japanese drama is a 90s series called Konna Koi no Hanashi that is probably really hard to find now but you should definitely watch it if you can get your hands on it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konna_Koi_no_Hanashi

>>15238785
soredemo ikite yuki is a masterpiece right behind the best j drama of all time: n no tame ni.

>>15244334
>n no tame ni
Really? Is it that good?

I wanted to start watching but I picked Bitter Blood instead (which sucks).

>>15238785
Just watched the first episode.

I don't like it.

The main character acts like a complete fucking beta retard, and it's done in a bad way and without taste. The main actor is overacting and overreacting a lot.

Both him and his father apparently haven't moved on, just because their daughter/sister died, FIFTEEN years ago! And they still think about it every day!

The whole thing seems so unrealistic. How is it possible to be haunted by something that happened ages ago? Of course, some scars will always remain, but people move on...

Does it ever get better or should I drop it now?

>>15244388
Yes, drop it. It's as you described it. Don't waste your time. One one hand, you can kinda understand what they went through, but on the other hand, too many characters go full retard. Especially the mom (victim's side). OP's show isn't good at all.

Overall, the story & dialogue is fucking shit.

Good things about it are:
- main theme song
- setting (countryside/rural-ish area). Sometimes it does a really good job of capturing that certain mood
- lead actress is cute

Has no one bought the Orange Days BDs yet? http://www.yesasia.com/us/orange-days-blu-ray-box-japan-version/1047268996-0-0-0-en/info.html

I would kill for some BD encodes of my favourite show but I don't have AU $340 to spare.

>>15244334
You have absolute shit taste

OP didn't post the /jp/'s download guide, so here we go: http://pastebin.com/YtK9gFDb

I'm going to watch N No Tame Ni.

>>15248704
Seemed pretty average to me, I only watched three episodes though.

Apart from Orange Days and Boku no ita Jikan is there any romances that deal with disabilities?

And I don't mean the usual incurable disease, I mean someone who is unable to perform normal tasks including being deaf/blind.

What is that one about the teacher with no arms and legs?

>>15250075
Daijobu 3 Kumi?

Gonna check it out now, hoping there is more drama with blind/deaf girls.

List some fun shows to watch /jp/ I have a horrible cold and nothing to do.

Here are some of my favourites:
Gomen ne Seishun!
Blue Blazes
Liar Game
Samurai High School
My boss my hero

pls no bully

Does someone actually unironically watch this normieshit?

>>15250060
Beautiful Life?

>>15243328
Jin & Jin 2. Good mix of modern and period.

>>15250760
That's good but I have already seen it ;_;

>>15242495
He played an ikemen in Last Friends.

>>15251609
No, he played a hipster make-up artist everyone thinks is gay. The DV guy had a more of an ikemen role than him.

>>15250518
Tiger & Dragon

>>15242690
A 20 minutes-long episode per week isn't enough. Too bad it's a late night drama, it's not getting the ratings it deserves.
Actually, it'd look quite good as a full-length movie.

>>15242690
Looks cool.

>>15243328
Does JIN count?

>>15250060
There's going to be a koe no katachi movie

>>15254534
It's classy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ticEFN4J_7A

>>15243328
Do you like taiga dramas?

>>15242774
I like the first two seasons as well. It also helps that the opening song is catchy as fuck and tsuyoshi is a better kindaichi than fuckin matsumoto.

>>15250518
I recommend GTO. The 98' version with Sorimachi and not the 2012 version.

>>15256137
>>15252504
Sadly I have seen both of those GTO is good but I don't really get into the school dramas like Gokusen that focuses on fixing students personal issues week after week. That formula got old quickly for me and I'm not really a fan of episodic shows.

Just something simple preferably a high-school setting and a comedy and/or romance.

>>15256084
Oh nice, worth reading the manga?

Ikebukuro West Gate Park is great I heard.

>>15244668
Same here, I want to impregnate Ashida Mana so bad. I'm pretty sure she already produced ovum periodically now.

>>15259020
It's getting subbed on D-Addicts, and they aren't bad.

>>15257126
Nobuta wo produce is probably up your alley. I would recommend gakko no kaidan but it's probably too much drama-esque for you.

>>15258121
I definitely recommend checking out gakko no kaidan.

>>15260611
I really liked TOKIO's theme song (I put it on repeat from time to time). I guess I should check out the drama now.

Currently looking to try out Boku no Yabai Tsuma, Hayako-sensei, Omukae Death, Juhan SHuttai, love song, and Our House. Thoughts?

Thanks for the help.

KR Gaim is pretty decent for tokusatsu

>>15269486
No, it really isn't. You should go and watch more tokusatsu before you say things like that.

>>15270698
Any suggestions?

Why are people watching this garbage for manchildren?

>>15270698
Yes it is, Gaim is written by Urobutcher who is a fucking genius.

>>15270982
Gokaiger is pretty great tbqh.

>>15270982
Any of the first three Ultra series or for something more recent Ultraman Gaia or Nexus. Changeman, Flashman, or Liveman. For Kamen Rider I reccomend the original, Kuuga, and Agito.

>>15261854
Is this more of a horror or mystery show?

Any good series that involves yakuza? Watched Kinpika and it fell flat and plain.

The closer to jingi naki, the better.

>>15270982
The Garo series are pretty great. It's like a bloodier, adult themed Kamen rider. The new Kamen rider Amazon is also a great one.

>>15264846

Living the dream here in Nippon, so I can comment.

I personally like Boku no Yabai Tsuma the best by a long shot. I love suspense stuff though, so that might be why.

Hayako-sensei is okay. Pretty light-hearted for the most part. Sometimes gets lost in side plots involving students I don't care for. You may feel differently though.

Omukae Death is definitely the one targeted for a younger, teenage and college age crowd. I like it though.

Juhan Shuttai is on at the same time as Boku no Yabai Tsuma, so I'm not watching it unfortunately.

Love Song is a show that I felt started off kind of so-so, but is getting better as it goes along. Fukuyama Masaharu gets top billing, but its really more about the female MC.

Sunday is when I take a break from dramas, so I can't comment on Our House.

Personally, I like Kekkon Dekinain Ja Nakute, Shinain Desu (not sure if romanji is quite accurate with spaces) and recommend it to you. It's similar to Hayako-sensei in that its about a Japanese women in her 30s looking for love (very common drama trope these days). However, it's still quite good and the better of the two, in my humble opinion.

Totoneechan airs every morning and is 15 minutes per episode, its NHK's Asadora for the season. Its pretty good, nice period piece. If a drama focusing on everyday life for a young girl in 1930s Japan sounds appealing, give it a go.

Did you watch anything from last season? Dame na Watashi wo Koi Shite Kudasai was really good, main character is so so so so very cute.

Burned out on gook dramas, barely watched anything this year.

Is it any good?

Can anyone recommend a good drama on crunchyroll? I watched "I'm Mita, Your Housekeeper" on there a while back and enjoyed it. I don't really want to download anything because my hard drive is completely filled with anime and I pay for crunchyroll anyway so I might as well make use of it.

>>15283013
Not sure which dramas are on there exactly so can't say too much. But I know Nobunaga Concerto is, and I really enjoyed that. I'd recommend checking it out.

"Yui-chan maji aka-chan" roughly translates to "Yui-chan is really a baby" because of her baby face. Since she's grown a lot since her prepubescent days people say "Yui-chan maji Yui-chan" instead now. This is a 2ch only thing btw.

To keep this post related to the thread, to that anon asking about Amachan, the show will start out slow so don't be so quick to drop it. A lot of things happen in the show every week and it's a breath of fresh air coming from 11-12 episode dramas which only have a couple of interesting arcs. In Amachan it's as if you're in this new world and you get to experience many characters, stories, difficulties, settings, and so on. As an example, there is a whole long and interesting arc which is set in Tokyo. Every character's story will be expanded eventually and with many flashbacks you'll dwell into the pasts of the main characters and learn about why they turned out how they did in the "present".

And they actually kiss instead of weird-Japanese-pecking.

>>15330502
I think I loved it so much as well because it didn't have the "we can't do it because we're both girls" bullshit, it all seemed so natural (with the exception of the first two kisses, I guess).

Literally the only good lesbian jdrama I know.

I'm a philistine when it comes to live-action nip shows, what would you recommend someone who has only seen (and enjoyed). The Hero Yoshihiko, Akibaranger and Blue Blazes? Not just other comedies, but anything.

Japanese drama characteristics: needlessly serious, always a life lesson at the end, various themes (green tea, restaurants, police, etc), and there's always a manga-like character

>>15312051
Is it? There's actually a Netflix exclusive J-drama called Atelier. It was alright. The cast changes mid-way was annoying but a solid 7/10.

Long Vacation is a masterpiece.

>>15331733

Is this actually good?

>>15342598

And dropped.

>>15346698
Even if you "hate" him(why?), Long Vacation is a masterpiece.
My favorite J-Drama are probably Long Vacation, Orange Days and Amachan.

>>15297134
replying to old post, but yes, it's awesome.

>>15346717
I was just shitposting to bump the thread, mate.

Man, you guys really like Orange Days. Guess I'll have to give it a try myself soon. If only I wasn't busy watching a million other stuff. Which is why I usually stick to airing dramas.

>>15318069
That's Mana-chan?

It's a family drama + comedy
The twist is the mother died recently.
The (seemingly) spineless dad returns home from America, while bringing along a new wife.
The eldest daughter (Mana) deals with subbing in for her mother vs having to relinquish this role for a (foreign) stepmom. Should she let her take over or keep doing what she's doing? There are some sideplots with the siblings, uncle, aunt, grandad etc. Separation seems to be a major subject too.

Anyway, if you're unfamiliar with jdramas, they give zero fucks about transitioning from something funny, light-hearted to something serious and heavy and vice-versa.. The dialogue is pretty good overall. Also the casting of CKF + Mana is noice. Most of the comedy comes from their interaction and someone getting rekt

So far, the part I didn't like was, 1 minute in to ep01, they turned up the waterworks right away and didn't hold back, lel

Anyone know where to find H2 subs?

My japanese is still too trash, but I can't seem to find the sub files anywhere on the net.

>>15316793
That was a great ride. I somehow had this notion that ikemen actors act bad so I might be overstating when I say the acting is great.

my favorite dorama is love generation

it never fails to give me feels

Not sure if I like Amachan.

The main girl seems borderline retarded.

I just finished Pieta in the toilet movie, and holy shit that was really depressing and dark. I excpected a love story between a dying artist and highschool girl where the artist start drawing again, but I pretty much got a dark Seinen manga movie adaption where it teachs you about how real life can get to be so unfair, cruel and shit. It seems that this movie was inspired by Osamu Tezuka manga but it felt pretty much a Inio Asano work.

Fuck.

Yutori Desu ga Nani ka has only TWO episodes subbed.

>>15356814
>Takuya Kimura
Not even once.

>>15271605
the acting is pretty fucking horrible, but other than that its okay.

Its pretty much a 1:1 adaption of the anime with less gore so far, so its hard for them to majorly fuck anything up

>>15360819
>t it felt pretty much a Inio Asano work

As in Solanin (Sad but with a glimmer of hope ending) or Oyasumi Punpun (So girm i felt like OD on painkillers) ?

Why does everyone prefer left over right?

>>15371801
Which left? I'd assume you'r talking about the pink one but I don't see why she'd be more popular than Blue.

>>15372022
Everybody prefers Ai Hashimoto, but I think Rena Nounen is prettier.

>>15372091
I agree with you anon.

>>15371801
What show is this?

>>15374277
Amachan

>>15372022
The show made an oddly big deal out of left (a supporting character) being the 'pretty one' and right (main character) being the 'plain one'. It was distractingly dumb. They should have had a less pretty main or absolutely stunning 'left'.

>>15375694
Or maybe gooks have a different taste in women.

>>15371801
the one on the left has a manface, while the other one has soft, delicate and feminine features

>>15371801
I hate how Aki is treating Stove-san like shit so much.

>>15375646
it has 156 episodes? Are they all really 40+ minute long?
Never heard of a drama that last more than 15 episodes

>>15380356
15 minutes each. It's an asadora.

I felt like I've watched all the good shows japan has to offer, the rest is all "each episode is a brand new challenge and story and we just forget about everything that happened last episode" theme shit

Where can I get one of these?

is no one watching our house?

If you haven't seen 'Mother' and 'Kazoku Game' check them out. I kind of stopped watching jdrama after those two because I doubt anything else can rival them.

Are the Netflix original jdramas available in all regions? And do thy have subs?

>>15380860
I'm only watching Juhan Shuttai and Sanada Maru

>>15371801
Man are they cuteeeee. Though I'm not really into those 100+ series.

Has there been any new jdrama in the last couple years that was really good? Haven't followed this stuff in a while. Bonus points if they have cuties like this.

>>15381078
Itsuka Kono

>>15376105
As I said, the show made an *oddly* big deal of it. And a brief look at online opinions shows a split amongst our Japanese comrades. Even where people prefer Ai (left), they're not calling reina plain or ugly like they kept doing on the show.

>>15380566
You haven't.

>>15381063
Do you like any of those? I skimmed through the first episode of Juhan Shuttai and it seems way too cheesy for me, but maybe I should give it a shot.

Can't stand that main actor in Sanada Maru.

>>15381080
>Kengo Kora
Not even once.

>>15381643
I like them both. I wasn't too fond of Juhan Shuttai after the first episode either, but I really started liking it as I watched more. I'd say the only really cheesy moment in Juhan Shuttai beyond the first episode was in episode 8, but I still enjoyed that bit. I also probably just have a higher tolerance for what folks may consider "cheesy". But the dramas written by Akiko Nogi, and I'm a big fan of hers. She's yet to write something I haven't really enjoyed.

>Amachan
Looks too serious and heartwarming for me. Any other suggestions?

I've never laughed as much as watching Tiger and Dragon, and I've never seen a better mix of mystery/social deviance/comedy as in Ikebukuro West Gate Park.

I don't know why I love Japanese drama so much but I do.

They make me happy for some reason.

Just finished Ao Haru Ride the movie.
Very cute.
>tfw your school life is shit

Anyone know if there's a place online I can find Japanese sub files? Looking for 渡る世間は鬼ばかり　in particular.

>>15391248
Probably not.

Seems like only like 3 people here care about Japanese tv.

Dias Police is not bad.

>>15346717

>>15381063
I have no idea but usually if it's a Netflix original, they would show it everywhere since it's "theirs". Atelier does indeed have subtitles.

>>15394464
Thanks, Moteki is right up my alley. After it will work my way through the others.

Hello /jp/,

I'm looking for recommendations for Dramas like Kekkon Dekinai Otoko and Kazoku no Katachi.

None of the lovey dovey/doki doki stuff, but has (Very) slow budding romance. Also takes place in work environment (not high school setting).

Thank you, I will check that out!

>>15401525
I thought MC already has a wife in that show ?

where can i watch Japanese tv shows on my TV?

>>15403063
no where in the US. not even 1 fringe cable channel that I could find in my area.

Unless you attach your laptop and use your TV as monitor.

Does anyone know why Doctor X got "good" viewership?

I watched it out of curiousity, and something came over me. I ended up binging up to Season 2 (losing sleep and all).

I'm not a fan of medical dramas (in any country really). In fact, I avoid them. I'm not even fan of the monster/case of the week format. But for some reason I couldn't put this show down.

I like the little funny parts. Didn't care for the serious political stuff, yet I kept watching. Writing isn't that good. It's the same every episode. The worst part? There are like no plot twists - not even Doctor X failing at 1 operation. Yet, I decided to skip dinner, get only 4 hours of sleep and kept watching.

>>15403098
Dem legs

She had a bad haircut in S1 though lol

>>15403098
I don't remember anything from it but I'd guess that it's basically "competence porn" + underdog struggling against corrupt establishment story.

>>15403153
Not OP, but you have a point. The second point though - The funny part is, she's not even underdog. By S3 she's like the best surgeon. Part of the show's "charm" is her not caring about politics too. Like she only made one of those resolve "speeches" near the end of S3.

>>15403166
I think part of the charm is her not caring at all, she just wants to operate.

She gets thrown out of conferences, gets called idiot, gets told to shut up. She doesn't talk back and just doesn't care.

>>15403124

Is Uchida Yuki a lesbian?

Saw Gisou no Fuufu a while back. Watched some other shows she's in and there's some lesbian/yuri undertones there...or is it just me?

>>15403098
idk, I liked the banter in the third season.

Writing is all over though, different scenes are serious and different scenes are supposed to be funny

Watching Orange (film) now and despite the very high reviews on MyDramaList it comes off as a very shallow story designed for young Japanese female teens (and not in a good way).

Legal High is the best jdrama that I've watched in a long time.

>>15356165
The words they chose to have in English comes out strange. Like, Alice would say 'help' in English, as if she couldn't remember how to say it in Japanese, and then she'd immediately say a sentence in Japanese with 'help' in it without any difficulty. And it's always the easy words that she'd can't translate...

>>15403063
Hawaii

For those that had watched Flying Colors. I need help understanding something. Probably something to do with Japanese entrance exam scores.
So near the end, Sayaka checked online and she failed the entrance exam but later on she checked again and it said she passed? What exactly happen here? Did some student drop out or something? Or The previous fail score didn't include all scores or something.

Any good medical/surgery dramas?

Also, do surgeons really walk in procession like that?

Do you guys have any recommendations for a nice sad drama?
I'd like to watch something with a melancholic air similar to Watashi wo hanasanaide.

>>15395275
What illegal immigrant communities it tackles? Or are they just mixed together or just Thays?

which NHK asadora is your favorite?

>>15272853
>about a Japanese women in her 30s looking for love (very common drama trope these days).

We need a category for this.

Some of the shows get annoying though. Because it's always those 3 friends, with their own separate problems and what not.

I like some of them though.

What made hanzawa naoki "good"?

>>15432089

Wish they'd sub stuff like this faster, only two episodes subbed and the show ended. Fucking slow cunts.

>>15434649
The subber for that is busy with real life stuff. It took them forever to finish the subs for Algernon from last year. I just ended up dropping it because at that point I just stopped caring.

>>15434657
At least gook dramas are reliable with subs/sub groups.

Fuck, why does everyone have to prefer Korean dramas...
