Default Re: Samurai High School Episode 1

Love it! Every second!

Well, I was kinda hoping those idiotic gals were one of those "one-episode" antagonists, but I'm worried they'll be back to cause more weakly motivated trouble. Its tough to like antagonists when their main motive is to support a golf player with a face like a platypus.

But, Shirota Yuu (Nakamura)...is too awesome for the type of role they've given him. It started off and I was like, "ok, so he's kinda cute," but then by the end of the episode, I was completely fed up with him. I never thought that would happen.

The fight scenes are wicked, and I look forward to them since I adore how Kotaru completely transforms even though he remains in the same clothes. It's the look on his face and in his eyes. I think that's amazing.

The entire cast is actually pretty surprising. The girl who plays Nagasawa Ai (Anne) doesn't look like her usual self. Did anyone else know that she's the daughter of Ken Watanabe? She's also gorgeous in real life, so I can't quite figure out what went wrong with the make-up staff...

Lastly, it was a real treat to see Ohgo Suzuka (Memoirs of a Geisha, Sexy Voice and Robo) play the little sister. I'm excited to see where this goes, and since the cast is so promising, I'm looking forward to seeing this drama get better and better with each episode...hopefully.

Nakamura better have more to offer in the future episodes because...geh!
