^ Yeah, it would be weird if Miyazaki’s movies weren’t mentioned. His movies are classics.

^Everything you said about I agree with. I watched the trailer before I watched the movie, and it didn’t really bother me, but I can see how it would bother other people.
So I found an Oguri Shun fangirl? :D

I guess I’m and Oguri Shun fanboy? no homo. I watched him in Hana Yori Dango and Hana Kimi. seems like cool guy, and a good actor...plus, he is like the only japanese actor I can name off the top of my head, haha.

Definitely watch Ping Pong. Its hilarious. Departures was a great movie, and I think it one an Oscar for like best foreign film. Suicide Club was really intense. When I first watched it, I had no idea what to expect as I hadnt seen a trailer for it.

Haha. Yep, I’m an Oguri Shin fan girl. I loved Hana Yori Dango and Hana Kimi too! Those were the shows I watched that got me into J-dramas.

I still haven’t seen Departures yet. I wanna watch it soon, hopefully when I’m on break from school.


^ I’m sure a nice portion of Miyazaki will be.


I wonder if Ponyo will be mention this week, I love that film!

I remember watching Koizora. The main reason I watched it was because the main guy had white hair. lol yeah that’s a weird reason.

Oh yeah, I watched the trailer for Koizora after I just commented. But I had to warn you guys. Don’t watch the trailer for Koizora if you’re planning on watching it. It totally ruins the story and there are major spoilers.

Also, I had to mention this. I love the guys’ uniforms in Crows Zero! Why don’t we have nice uniforms like that here?


Ooo! I love Crows Zero! Oguri Shin is such a good actor. And I like Meisa Kuroki’s songs. I also like Koizora. A complete tearjerker and way better than the drama. I first watched it because Miura Haruma was in it, but then I fell in love with the story.


Omg! I’m looking forward to Friday’s articles. I loved Last Life in the Universe (especially the music) and Sukiyaki Western Django (probably because Oguri Shin was in it).

nice list~
ooo, top 5 is hard for me to do.

I too very much enjoyed Lovely Complex and Densha Otoko. so funny and cute.
My top 5 (in no order) would have: Departures, Suicide Club, Battle Royale, Ping Pong, and Densha Otoko.
Honorable mention is probably any J-horror movie like Ringu or Ju-on.

The Japanese do a great job at movie making whether its romance, comedy, horror, action, cute, suspense, animated, whatever. you name it, the Japanese can do it amazingly ^-^

**note, my list excludes Hayao Miyazaki movies because I think all his movies are amazing. So they would pretty much dominate my top 5 japanese list. the best one of his is obviously Spirited Away**

I haven’t seen Departures or Ping Pong yet. Suicide Club was so intense!

Spirited Away is definitely his best!!! I could watch it over and over and over!!!!!!!


^ Epic too.


What a massive special raspberry
