I watched this on Monday!



I don't really have much to say so no point having a cut for this post:

I think this would've been better as a second season rather than a movie. I feel the fact we only had 2 hours really forced the drama to lose all the charm it had in the drama and it didn't have enough time to build suspense. Also, cos it got delayed for like a YEAR, a lot of my interesting and hype in the product was pretty much gone by the time it FINALLY came out and (going back to it being a movie) we kinda lost and/or forgot all the characters and their charms in the movie and there was like no development. Also, I felt like the ending was very, very predictable (both character deaths were predictable to the exact detail in my mind) so I was a tad disappointed. The switching of roles (see me trying not to spoil anything) was very obvious too! There was definitely not enough Tsune-chan. I wish we'd been shown more of his school-life too. There were a few dodgy edits which is concerning =/ I wanted 'Chike' to show up at the end too!

On a positive: The comedy parts were great (but stopped being a comedy after the first 30minutes or so ='[) It had a very beautiful opening shot once they finished with the 'this is what happened in the dorama' catch up. I also really liked the locations used (like the place with the giant tree! and I'm always a sucker for old looking Japanese places/houses) as well as the music (the music has always been amazing though!) which I now have playing in my head xD OH! There's also the costumes! Holy CRAP the costumes!! I seriously just want Nobunaga and Hideyoshi's outfits to lounge in at home cos they look freaking comfy as fuuuu!! I did shed a tear at the end scene with the video. The cute little Nobunaga and Chike figures were so cute too!!

But yes astetically it was beautiful but the story and development and climaz of the story were disappointing =[ I did feel unsatisfied at the end.

Rating: 5/10

PS. I'm seeing BASARA tonight (Friday night) so hopefully a review will be up Saturday night but Tuesday at the latest!

Well I went back to university this week and I am shatter after having to run around helping 1st years and being the the Japanese Society Comittee... But now it is finally saturday and I can now relax for 2 days - YAY! So I thought I'd have a fangirlism and picspam and stuff today...

So firstly... here is the Japanese society comittee and me minus our president who doesn't like pictures and took the picture for us! xD

Secondly... due to watching Beginners I have fallen back into my Kis-My-Ft2 and Kitayama Horimitsu, Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke obsession for the time being so little picspam! ^_^

(( credit to ALL the rightful owners - enjoy! )) )

I've been listening to Kis-My-1st this morning and so far my favourites are Kickin' It and Take Over xDD
And it's so nice to finally hear Studio/CD versions of 3D Girl, Me, My, Mine and FIRE BEAT! =]

You can tell my KisuMai bias pair is Fujigaya/Kitayama ne! xD

Thirdly, I came across some actors I'd seen now and again the past but really caught my interest (either for the first time or again) today so here's a picspam of: Yamada Shintarou (who looks like Igarashi Shunji sometimes seriously), Kawano Naoki and a good old favourite Miura Riki! ^_^

Yamada Shintaro 2


(( picspam prettiness )) )

And my dream was SO weird last night. All I remember is needing to read Percy Jackson Book 2 and the 2nd movie trailer was out and called Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters and Gold(en) something. Then this girl decided to defy Brik from The Middle so I challenged her and then kicked her really hard (I must have been angry, I only ever take my anger out in my sleep o_O) and then I was moving a load of Japanese novels from my dads house to my house (I was in my element being surrounded by novels written in Japanese! xD). THEN a Pagan train went past near a club where me and my friends get together (in the dream, this pub does not exist in RL as far as I'm aware xD) and it was SO long and had a rodeo game on it and loads of beer and people dressed in purple and lace and one was dressed as a witch xD Which I know pagan is really about! haha Finally, Takagi Shinpei and Takagi Manpei came to the pub! *insert picture*

TakagiTwins1 (2)

(( pictures inserted )) )

And my friends were like 'you can't tell them apart!' and so I spent the rest of the dream telling them that you can tell the difference and what was different between then xD

Btw did I ever tell you about that vampire dream and the Ouran cast turned up and Chiba, Shinpei and Manpei were crossdressing!!!

I think that's all....

Finally Minna san, have a good weekend!!! =D

Final picture <3 Gotaa end it with my husband Kamenashi Kazuya ne! ^_^

I was thinking; me, Fujigaya, Kitayama and (Yuto) Tama-chan should totally been a JE Sub-group.


We'd be called FAYK (pronounced 'fake') and stands for Fujigaya Alex/Aiko Yuto Kitayama ^^


We'd be awesome although...









....there'd be a constant love square o_O O wells! xDD *daydreams*
