Hana-Kimi (Japanese Live-Action)

I totally enjoyed watching this live-action series. I thought it was INTENSELY funny. It's so filled with foolishness I want to try myself! The characters are soooo cute as if they came out of the manga. Shun Oguri is really one cute Izumi Sano. He's also the guy who played Shinichi Kudo in "Detective Conan" (live action). WARNING: This series is truly for the girly-girl hearted! One reason why I'm okay with Naldo NOT watching it with me. (wink!)

Anyway, there's a lot of posts about this already so there's really no need to talk much about it. However I'd like to share a few quotes I loved from it. There's supposed to be more but I kept on forgetting to "print screen" them. (Toinks! )

I wanted to watch it again just to get the quotes but still have two other series in waiting. Maybe in the future because I DO love to watch this again. And next time I'll get the funny ones, okay?

A BIG thanks to Pol who has always supplied us wonderful series.

Shokojo Seira (Japanese version of A Little Princess)

A Little Princess is a children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. There have been different film and television adaptations of it and we're pretty sure all of you have seen at least one of them.

We've seen them all (oops except the 1917 film, ayt- so not all then!) and we think the 2009 Japanese remake "Shokojo Seira" is the best we've seen so far. It's a 10 episode drama series.

This remake is not faithful to the novel but this is like the 6th television version. They had to spice it up a little bit. We think the modifications made sense and we loved how the screenwriter established them.

Anyway, for more info about the film and tv adaptations please go to:

There are different "fansubs" and here's one of them:
