Bloody Monday

[grimface]

i finished it a little bit ago. it was pretty satisfying. they were all beautiful.

the only thing i didn't really like was that it was way different from the manga. which, really, i'm okay with, because it's boring to watch something you've read. but everyone was de-buffed. like, the main character's (forgot his name) friends are supposed to be, like, a champion in....uh...akido....some kind of fighting, and archery. he's supposed to be a totally capable hacker, like, seeing several moves ahead. it wasn't as emotional.

but, whatever. it was a good watch.

was it way different from the manga? i hope not, because the manga was great.i planned to watch this.

Being different isn't always bad since it keeps from having a repetitive story over and over again. However, if you really wanted to watch something that's an exact copy then I doubt this will be exactly the same. Not very many dramas are copied exactly like that manga. The main reason they take some things out of dramas is so that they can keep the length around 10 - 13 episodes and so that they don't have to stretch out to add more material. The drama is great by itself so I'd give it a try anyways.

I liked the 1st episode and the OST.
The acting was so funny, terrible... however is good japanese practice blocking those subs.
If you like comedy watch this series.
Specially when one of those guys die, is like he barely appeared in some episodes and they make a sad scene attempting to make some guys cry... I laughed and laughed
The end is a wtf!
Through the series many people seems to be the mysterious bad guy, and they throw the most uncommon character at the end, really disappointing but funny cuz is so lame.
Anyways thanks to the uploaders, I laugh a lot ^^

Possible Spoilers!

I remember myself being very intrigued after watching the first episode, it attracted me to continue watching the rest and I was not disappointed.

This drama is absolutely amazing and has completely unpredictable story line. You think that now you finally know what is going to happen next and then start realizing that something absolutely different is going on. I thought I was going to die around episode 9, when this whole Bloody Monday operation started. I honestly did not know what to think and had so many questions and was in a complete shock and was watching with my mouth open.
Miura Haruma has done a really good job, I completely fell in love with his image after watching Gokusen and then Koizora, so I was expecting quite a lot from him and I got what I wanted. I was even surprised, his acting skills are quite impressive and I must say that Haruma is a very talented for his young age (18) actor. I remember watching making of Bloody Monday. They were filming one of the dramatic scenes from the movie, there are loads of them there. And they showed how Haruma-kun was preparing himself, sitting alone in the far corner of the room, trying to concentrate. Director made couple of shots after that, whole crew was crying. I was touched, sob.

Narimiya Hiroki. That is another plus. Since he always plays good characters, which are mostly funny, goofy and dorky, except Nobu (Nana) I guess, I wasn`t really sure about him being one of the bad guys, but Hiroki-kun did well. In my opinion J is a very complicated character. And Narimiya had done an amazing job. Looking at Hiroki (J), you can`t really tell that he is a terrorist, he does not even look like one. You know what I mean? It is not one of those cases, when you usually go "oh, guess who is the bad guy", because you already know. J smiles a lot during the series and I thought it was a very sincere kind of smile, not malicious at all. On the other hand you see that J is actually a very brutal person, he is smart, he is nasty, he is evil. That is why I thought that Narimiya created a great image for J.

Really liked Takeru-kun. I was kind of intrigued, when they discovered that there might be a possibility of him being K. And was a bit disappointed as well, all the things that he had done for Fujimaru, he always stayed by his side and then BAM! he is K. But luckily enough it was not like that at all.

I do think there will be another season, not even a SP, because it just won`t be enough. At least I really do hope that they will make one more.
Want more!
