==Dorama ratings==
+
I decided to use this page for Japanese movie and dorama review/rating to keep track of series I've seen and maybe guide newcomers to the wonderful(?) world of Japanese doramas and movies!<br>
 +
Only those series I've watched to the last episode and movies watched to the end will be rated. I am more into romance / drama genre (In other words, serious stuff, NOT anime/manga based fangirl stuff or B-movie etc) in Japanese media, so I might be a bit biased, but I tried my best to be fair. Personally, I think dorama or movie with meanings are worth more than just plain visual entertainment anyway. Of course, everyone has different tastes, but I think this page will help you decide which show is worth seeing! Anything with ratings of <b><font color=#0000FF>9</font color></b> or <b><font color=#0088FF>10</font color></b> are bolded with color. <b>8</b>-rated movies are bolded as well, because I have a higher standards for live-action movies.<br>You should definitely check them out first!!

<b>「僕の耳は、名場面を憶えている。」</b> often seen in my signature is one of my favorite slogans. It was for Chrono Trigger OST, which roughly tranlates to "My <i>ears</i> remember the greatest moments." Great music accommodating a great scene much more memorable. That's why I also include theme song ratings in my review.

==Dorama Reviews==
 +
 
 +
'''Formats''': Refer to [[DramaWiki:Glossary_of_terms|DramaWiki Glossary of Terms]] for further details.
 +
<br>- '''''CpE''''': Conclusion-per-episode format, each episode starts afresh with minimal influence from previous episodes.
 +
<br>      "Ichi wa kanketsu keishiki" 一話完結形式. Technically, CpE is a form of ''Renzoku'', only SP are <b>not</b> considered to be ''RenDora''.
 +
<br>- '''''R''''': Continuation dorama format,  all the episodes combine to make one story.
 +
<br>      Episodes often end with a cliffhanger. "Renzoku" 連続
 +
<br>- '''''R-CpE''''': Continuous conclusion-per-episode. This is not an official dorama format, but ones I consider to be between
 +
<br>      ''CpE'' and ''Renzoku''. Each episode carries the story from previous episodes, but is concluded at the end of each episode.
 +
<br>- '''''Mix''''':  Only first couple of episodes are ''CpE'' then turns into ''Renzoku'' near the end. Not an official dorama format.
 +
 
 +
Years all end with typical starting months _1 (Winter), _4 (Spring), _7 (Summer), or _10 (Fall) seasons. Even if the starting month for a series doesn't match, these numbers will be used to indicate the closest season it was originally broadcasted.
 +
 
 +
All my ratings are <i>satisfaction</i> ratings. Although I try to give +1 or -1 according to how well I thought it was made as a dorama, I don't pretend to be capable of critically evaluating a series.
 +
 
 +
Bolded (<b><font color=#0000FF>9</font color></b>): Highly recommended dorama, series I really enjoyed.<br>
 +
Light blue background (<b><font color=#0088FF>10</font color></b>): Very highly recommended, nearly flawless dorama series.<br>
 +
Dark blue background (<b><font color=#0088FF>10+</font color></b>): Extremely recommended, masterpieces that really moved me.<br>
 +
Green background: My fansubs.<br>

Latest revision as of 11:21, 13 July 2013

I decided to use this page for Japanese movie and dorama review/rating to keep track of series I've seen and maybe guide newcomers to the wonderful(?) world of Japanese doramas and movies!
Only those series I've watched to the last episode and movies watched to the end will be rated. I am more into romance / drama genre (In other words, serious stuff, NOT anime/manga based fangirl stuff or B-movie etc) in Japanese media, so I might be a bit biased, but I tried my best to be fair. Personally, I think dorama or movie with meanings are worth more than just plain visual entertainment anyway. Of course, everyone has different tastes, but I think this page will help you decide which show is worth seeing! Anything with ratings of 9 or 10 are bolded with color. 8-rated movies are bolded as well, because I have a higher standards for live-action movies.
You should definitely check them out first!!

「僕の耳は、名場面を憶えている。」 often seen in my signature is one of my favorite slogans. It was for Chrono Trigger OST, which roughly tranlates to "My ears remember the greatest moments." Great music accommodating a great scene much more memorable. That's why I also include theme song ratings in my review.

My Fansubs

Dorama Reviews

Formats: Refer to DramaWiki Glossary of Terms for further details.
- CpE: Conclusion-per-episode format, each episode starts afresh with minimal influence from previous episodes.
"Ichi wa kanketsu keishiki" 一話完結形式. Technically, CpE is a form of Renzoku, only SP are not considered to be RenDora.
- R: Continuation dorama format, all the episodes combine to make one story.
Episodes often end with a cliffhanger. "Renzoku" 連続
- R-CpE: Continuous conclusion-per-episode. This is not an official dorama format, but ones I consider to be between
CpE and Renzoku. Each episode carries the story from previous episodes, but is concluded at the end of each episode.
- Mix: Only first couple of episodes are CpE then turns into Renzoku near the end. Not an official dorama format.

Years all end with typical starting months _1 (Winter), _4 (Spring), _7 (Summer), or _10 (Fall) seasons. Even if the starting month for a series doesn't match, these numbers will be used to indicate the closest season it was originally broadcasted.

All my ratings are satisfaction ratings. Although I try to give +1 or -1 according to how well I thought it was made as a dorama, I don't pretend to be capable of critically evaluating a series.

Bolded (9): Highly recommended dorama, series I really enjoyed.
Light blue background (10): Very highly recommended, nearly flawless dorama series.
Dark blue background (10+): Extremely recommended, masterpieces that really moved me.
Green background: My fansubs.
