The drama adaptation of Ouran High School Host Club is still one of my most unexpected and inexplicably satisfying dramas ever. The drama concluded without any final resolution, but the cast had already been signed up to do the movie version, which will hopefully wrap up where the manga ended.

I don’t mind more Haruhi-Tamaki, since the OTP of Ouran does make a whole lotta sense and Yamamoto Yusuke nails the role of Tamaki to the T.

A couple of months ago I did a write up on TW-actors and TW-actresses, which was relatively easy to do since there just aren’t that many of them occupying the perch as certifiable leads. The same isn’t true elsewhere, which … Continue reading
I’ll be the first to argue that the quality of mangas has been on a steady decline since the late-90s. But as an addict of the original brand of crack, I can’t help but still read them regularly. Call it … Continue reading
Who has watched a Taiga in your lifetime? Any Taiga will do. My last one was 2010’s Ryomaden due to my Fukuyama Masaharu bias, but I mostly skip all the ones in in the last decade or so. This year’s … Continue reading
While it may seem like I’ve got dibs on so many charismatic and talented young actors, it’s totally not so. Everyone feel free to MINE someone first, but it’s not my fault I locate hidden gems before everyone else. For … Continue reading
How is this not the OTP? Practical and down-to-earth butt poor girl meets calculating and acerbic nerdy billionaire heir. Yes yes, I know Kyoya in the manga/anime of Ouran High School Host Club isn’t even guy2, but the drama is … Continue reading
J-doramas have officially gone off the cross-dressing end this Summer, with not one, not two, but THREE girl-crossing-dressing-with-a-bunch-of-guys dramas out at the exact same time. And two are remakes to boot. Where’s the originality Japan? I checked out all three … Continue reading
