Enough of this Hana yori Dango !!!!! U P D A T E D

(Updated)
Really ... I wont be surprised if we see the Saudi version of Hana Yori Dango !!!!

For those who don't know , This is a popular Japanese manga and later it was made as a drama. Briefly , It's about a strong poor girl facing the infamous F4 group which is a group of 4 handsome guys (supposedly).... and of course the amazing love story between her and the one she hates the most !

As I said this is originally a manga... and I started with it long time ago... it's so much fun to read , honestly it's way more exciting than the drama.


The first who turned this manga into drama was the Taiwanese version (Meteor Garden) , umm it's cheap , I mean low quality and the main actress is annoying . In terms of the hotness of the actors, well... the guys aren't bad and they look like men so that's enough for them !


Ironically , the Japanese version (Hana Yori Dango) came after the Taiwanese... I have to admit that it's a very well produced drama, it's obvious that they've spend a lot of efforts in the production and the quality . The actress is so talented and she knew how to do her role. As for the guys, well I only can say that they're not my type, but they're talented so you can't hate them !


Unfortunately , when the Korean version (Boys over Flowers) came out, I already had enough of this story. I only watched the first 8 episodes :P , cuz I totally loved how they started liking each other. To tell the truth , it's obvious to anyone that the Korean version is the best , the production is amazing , the girls and the guys are talented an so cute.

And the prove of the success of this drama (Korean Version ),is this photo... It's so popular in Japan, you can see posters of the actors (F4) everywhere. I took this photo in a station in Tokyo.



And now... the most recent version , The Chinese Meteor Shower. I'm so not gonna watch it... oh I really wish not to watch it, and not to be tempted by the reviews I read which say it's kinda different and interesting ... but I know one thing for sure , the main actor is not my type !


UPDATE
Oh God , I can't believe I'm watching it !!!! Ok... I kinda knew it....
The story here is slightly different from the original, and guess what... the main actor is so cute... unlike the others...
it's so interesting so far ^-^

..........................

so now I wonder if there will be other versions !!!
I'm pretty sure there will be an American version , I mean they always Americanize Asian media ...so why not this one !!

..........................

My Verdicts:
Manga : 10/10
Tdrama : 2/10
Jdrama: 5/10
Kdrama: 7.5/10
Cdrama: 7/10

Detroit Metal City \m/

RoOoOAaAAR
I can't get enough of it !



Originally this is a manga, but of course it was made as anime,,, then after that came the live action Movie adaption ...

It's about Negishi , a shy or if I may say "boring" man who dreams to be a pop musician. however he's ended up as the lead singer and guitarist of a death metal band .....namely “Detroit Metal City" \m/



This guys lives two contradicting lives , it's hilarious how he switches between his different characters ...

I don't really like the manga for 2 reasons :
1- the main pleasure of watching this is the epicness of the music tracks... and you neither feel the guitar nor the roars while reading the manga.
2- the art is lame !

the anime is not bad.... I didn't complete watching it yet,,, cuz it's kinda boring, the guy keeps repeating his whole story at the beginning of each episode and nothing much happens !
-------------------------------------------

DMC (Live Action )

You can see in the image that Simmons from Kiss band is in the movie... and since I'm a big fan of Kiss ... I was so thrilled +_+

you also can see the manager of the band (the bitch there :P)... who always gets horny whenever the band is playing hard... LMAO... I don't blame her at all... who wouldn't feel the guitargasm anyways \m/

I personally prefer the Movie... it's amazing .. the actor is talented ,,, I was impressed by his great talent in switching between the different roles... and he's also hilarious .

the music tracks are epic.. enjoy this :



here are some snapshots from the movie:

This supposed to be a show...but he ended up like that LOL



Here you can see the funniest thing about this movie...his innocence ...
he was enjoying a song which was referring to his band as "dumb-ass Mother-complex cherry boy" x)

My Verdicts :
The movie : 10/10


Either you love metal or you don't , I'm sure that you'll enjoy this movie...

Shiroi Heya no Futari (Manga review )

Busy semester... yet it didn't take me from my beloved mangas ^_^

ok let me start from the oldest one :

Shiroi Heya no Futari (1 shot manga)

Main Characters:

Resine :the blond girl
Simone : the brunette

I'll skip the details of the story... I'll just focus on the things that caught my attention .
It's one of the earliest yuri mangas(First published in 1971). It contains no sexual images or any intense actions...yet you get the strong feelings and passion .

Resine decides to attend a boarding school to leave her aunt's house, there she shares the same room with Simone.
Simone is always rude to Resine... she teases her and makes her feel unwelcome. However, they get closer... yes they do ... in an indirect way... you just feel it , and this is what's so amazing about this manga.

They we're chosen for the school's play (Romeo and Juliette)...
Resine (as Juliette) asks Simon (as Romeo) to skip the kissing part cause she thinks it's inappropriate and she would never kiss a girl.... Simone agrees at first, but when the real thing came...she kisses her one hell of a kiss :P . --- yeah in public !
Resine was shocked... she runs outside but Simone goes after her... she tries to console her and she can't help but to kiss her again, this time one student sees them in action and then she goes spreading the fact to every1 in school.

Resine hates this.. she hate the idea of her getting emotionally involved with another girl... so she tries to avoid Simone... She gets herself a boy friend in order to prove to herself that's she's normal.... Simone gets jealous , Resine herself can't take Simone out of her mind even when she's with her boyfriend.

What I like here is how Resine is struggling in her denial state... she is having feelings toward another girl...but she doesn't like the fact.

For some reason Resine returns to her home, Simone can't stand parting from her beloved friend,, She turns into a miserable person , she gets into a fight with her male friend,which considered himself her boyfriend, and this causes her to tell him how she hates him and hates every single guy around her... they get into a deeper argument , she irritates him , she gives the feeling that she wants to end her life , he kills her !!!! it's kinda like suicide to me...

When Resine knows about this tragic accident she totally regrets leaving her...

it's so sad... I didn't know that this is a tragic manga so I was totally shocked :( .

Resine loved Simone.... but , there is no way for her to accept this fact... she was in pain trying to convince herself she's straight !

Simone only loves Resine... she doesn't care whether this is wrong or right...she just loves her regardless of her gender... and this is what causes their misery... :(


I really felt the love of this relationship... it's tragic, cause it is the forbidden love ~!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
note: I didn't go into details...reading the manga is way different from what I'm saying... Here I'm only giving my opinion !

Time of Eve (Anime Review)

Simply , this anime is different!
The main idea revolves around how androids start acting on their own while they're being in use practically.

Normally people treat robots as robots!However, there are some who have developed more serious emotions to those robots and these people are called android-holics.


I'm gonna list here some reasons of why this anime is so great and almost perfect:


1-This anime deals with Robots and humans, relationships between them... and we rarely see a plot dealing with this issue.
2- I've always loved robots... cuz they don't feel,this is humans' idea about them..
but here in this anime, it's a totally different idea!

3- The team who's working on making this anime is the same for all the episodes... so that makes the drawing better and more realistic ,,, and that's why it takes 2 months to make one tiny episode.
4- Sounds, graphics and animation....everything is flawless and perfect.


My thoughts:
-I feel sorry for the robots! I mean not just because they're machines we can abuse them! (oh God! I think I'm an android-holic :P)
- Some parts of this anime totally reminds me of deathnote...especially the background music.
- It's amazing how suddenly u feel bored for just a few seconds... then again they pull you back to their world and u wish that the episode doesn't end :P




enjoy the online Anime show at Crunchyroll :)

Tonagura! (Anime Review)



I loved this anime.
Simply, cuz the main character (Yuji) is a NORMAL guy...
He's pervert !!!

Kazuki is the main female character who was in love with Yuji when they were kids... now , after Yuji has returned from abroad... they both have grown up! Their first meeting after that...was when Yuji suddenly enters Kazuki's room and she's almost naked... as a guy (i.e perv) he couldn't resist and started chasing her to kiss her! LOL... and this is when Yuji’s "perviness' starts making this anime so freakin' hilarious XD

The whole story revolves around those two... and how Kazuki is trying to make Yuji a good guy... so she can confess her love to him in a better circumstance ( I'd rather say... in an abnormal-fake- movie-scene way)

.....................
My thoughts :
Yuji is the mind of every normal guy...though no one actually acts like him (Thank God !)

This anime might sound Hentia to u... but on the contrary , it's so hilarious in an innocent way ;P

P.S If u google images for this anime ull get a lot of hentia stuff... although it really doesn't consist of that much of "perviness" !

My Verdicts :
Anime : 9.5/10

The Great Power of the F word


Speechless...frustrated... angry... wanting to smash the person u r dealing with.... been there !

All what u wanna do is to shout out loudly (F*** YOU) right in their face.

I hate this damn word... I never use it in public...
I use a self-censoring system,that goes "bleep" whenever I want to say it.

But, this word is so seductive , you just try to use alternatives... but they never satisfy your desire!
