uiscerosI guess it's easier to divide things up...
1. Maou
I watched the first episode of Maou last night, and while I did enjoy it, I also found is ridiculously hilarious in quite a few spots. The biggest thing? It's way over-dramatic. Especially Toma's character. Everything he does is SO dramatic, SO passionate. I mean, he runs everywhere. As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sn0tcat said, he's just too full of passion and emotion to simply walk. Ohno's character, on the other hand, I LOOOOVED. I LOL-ed a lot at him (come on, Ohno being creepy is kinda funny), but he was damn good. I like evil, conniving, dastardly characters. They make me happy.
Come On, you can't tell me you don't find evil!Ohno hilarious...
Okay, first impression of Toma's character - POLICE BRUTALITY! Of course he's going to confess! You're hanging him off the edge of a tall building, you ass!
But then he made this face, and I was like "NAKATSU?! IS THAT YOU?!", and all was forgiven.
I know it's supposed to be a thriller, but then they do shit like this, and I just end up laughing like woah.
Sorry show, you can put a shirtless Ohno in the shower in front of me all you want, I'm still not going to want to bang him.
I love how in Ohno's creepy photo development room, the thing that was scariest to me were the random teddy bears on a shelf.
Okay, I'll admit, this one is pretty frightening. But then, I think anyone would look menacing holding a knife under red lights... Something to try out in my car one night! (The inside lights in my car are red...)
I got a little too excited over the tarot card thing. Fun fact about me - I read tarot. I have a bunch of tarot sets passed down to me from my dad, who also read tarot (with astonishing accuracy, I might add).
I think I rewound the video three times just so I could get this cap. BECAUSE IT'S KUMA! He's everywhere! I honestly don't know his real name (Waki Tomo... something), and prefer to always call him Kuma. Because he will always be Kuma to me!
Speaking of people I call by the first role I saw them in; it's Gekidan Hitori! Better known to me as Chihuahua guy from First Kiss! He's in everything too...
When Ohno was putting on his black leather gloves, all I could think about was OJ Simpson. If the glove doesn't fit, must we acquit?! These are the questions of our time.
Oh, Japan. I'm assuming this guy bled to death (he was stabbed in the general area of the intestines - so I'm assuming death would either be from loss of blood (relatively quick) or sepsis (not as quick)), so why so little blood?
Toma's skeptic look is gold.
Another point where I LOL-ed insanely. Because it's freaking Nino. Trying to intimidate Ohno. Excuse me while I laugh. A lot.
I love you, Ohno. I really do. But you're so tiny. So, so, so, so tiny. I just want to pick him up, and carry him around like a baby.
2. Misfits
SERIES TWO IS FINALLY HERE YOU GUYS! I've been waiting a freaking year for this show to come back. For reals! It's currently my favorite show (not that LOST is off the air), and I'm so excited for the next episode. I read some spoilers earlier, and watched the pre-air, so I knew what was going to happen, but damn if it wasn't worth watching in HD. This season I'm loving Simon a whole lot more, despite him being a total creeper. And I'm still on the Nathan/Kelly ship. I kinda like how they didn't make them get together right away. These things need to be drawn out. That being said, I wish there had been more time before they dug Nathan up, just to see how everyone (mostly Kelly) was handling it. I seriously could watch this show only for Nathan though. He's such an asshole, and we all know how I feel about the asshole characters...
This makes me wonder about British graves... Are they really that easy to dig up?!
Aw, the gang's all back together! And laughing at Nathan being a jackass! What more could I ask for?!
Holy shit if Lucy wasn't the scariest shit I've seen in a long time. The black eyes, the creepy little girl face, the blood, the screaming, the denim?! Just... no.
Hehehehehehehehehe... Best show ever.
My favorite scene ever. Curtis is all like "WHAT HAPPENED?!", and Nathan's like "Whoops! I done got killed again!". Awesome sauce.
3. Koukou Debut Movie
I randomly heard about this the other day, while looking for news on the ParaKiss movie. The news came out awhile ago, but I'm kinda slow on the uptake recently. Apparently Mizobata Junpei (who played Shuji-kun in Buzzer Beat) will be acting as Yoh, and Ohno Ito (a new actress, as far as I can tell) will be Haruna. This will either be awesome, or epically bad (see : Love Com). I hope for awesome. Because Koukou Debut is a really good manga, and I'd love to see it done well. While I loved Junpei in Buzzer Beat, I wouldn't have picked him to play Yoh... then again, who knows, he may knock it out of the park.
4. Fated to Love You sequel
Nothing is confirmed about this story, so take it with a grain of salt. HOWEVER, SETTV is looking to make a sequel to Fated to Love You, called 醉後決定愛上你 (Drunken to Love You... odd translation). I AM SO AGAINST THIS IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. Now, I love SETTV, I love their shows, I love their actors, I just love them. And yes, FtLY is the highest rated drama in Taiwanese history, so I suppose it makes sense to have a sequel. But a sequel without Qiao En or Ethan?! And didn't they already make a tie in with Invincible Shan Bao Mei?! The actors they're looking at are Rainie Yang and Jerry Yan. I just... don't know. I think seeing them together would make me think too much about Meteor Garden, and question why Ken isn't there. But yeah... not really looking forward to this. I loved FtLY, and I don't think there needs to be another one.
