Finally watched it!

I was quite surprised to see it appearing on GV's site because it's not really a mainstream movie and usually GV only airs mainstreams or blockbusters, while Cathay airs the lesser-known Japanese and indies. But surprise surprise! Cathay didn't air it this time. GV did! I can't remember which aired the first movie.

I'm so glad I caught it. Although it's just a gruesome/bloody, I totally enjoyed the fight scenes. The only part I didn't like was the implied sexuality by one of the Shizuran guy, Makio (or sth..can't remember the actual name). As usual, dear dear Takayuki was outstanding, and Oguri kept changing image in that he was crazy and rough in one scene yet blur and green in another. I can't remember why but I think during the first movie I was hoping he would get together with that girl from the band. Yet this time, I was happy that she didn't get to appear much. XP

I was wondering why Haruma appeared in the film because his part seems to be so insignificant! Afterall, I remember reading that this is the last CROWS for both Oguri and Yamada. But I guess that's not the last we'll hear from CROWS. Haruma will take the place as lead I guess, in his bid to win Shizuran. I think he can't replace the feelings I get from watching Oguri and Yamada fight. It's so adrenaline driving, I think they own CROWS.

Both are such versatile actors (Oguri in Hanakimi and HYD, Yamada in Taiyou no Uta and the other classics like Densha Otoko and Crying Out Love In The Center Of The World)!

Oh, another guy I noticed since movie 1 was the one acting Izaki Shun (the blonde head). I did a bit of googling on him. He's called Takaoka Sosuke. Married to Miyazaki Aoi since 2007, after dating for 7 years! They started dating when she was 15 and him 18! OMG! So unbelievable!

今、天城ナイトみたいなロボットが欲しい!!!!

I'm like super duper urber tired right now, with a slight headache and neckache. =/ Maybe it's because I've been chiong-ing tv dramas lately. Maybe it's because I slept at 4am last night. Maybe it's because I woke up at 8.30am this morning. Maybe it's because I've been out since 10am, till now. Maybe, maybe...

Whatever it is, I'm tired. And I want a robot like Night! Who can massage in - I forgot - 28 different patterns.

I just finished Zettai Kareshi last night and as a result of me crying so much during the last episode, my eyes are slightly puffy today. I really like this dorama and how it slowly unfolds and develops. From Riiko finding the very presence of Night irksome, to her getting used to having him around and making her embarrassed everytime, to her strting to appreciate the things he does for her, to her starting to care about hm, and lastly, to her liking him.

Everything was nicely paced. Not too hasty, yet not too draggy. There was ample time for us to slowly like this couple. Initially, I didn't really like this couple too much. As in, it's odd to have a girl fall for a robot; well, the robot is drop-dead gorgeous and hot and well-built and tall and caring but....human X robot? It's almost as wrong as...I don't know...

But slowly, it was obvious that although Night isn't human, he is human enough to really like Riiko and to do things that go beyond (and sometimes even against) what he was programmed to do so.

At that instant, I grew to like the couple. Although it was still odd how a robot (pieces of metal put together) can develop his own thinking and personality, it was still as sweet. As the dorama says, "Ths is just a work of fiction". I think it was also when Riiko was told that Night had been acting on his own will that she realised everything Night did for her was indeed out of love for her, and not just because he was programmed to do so - that, touched her and she realised she liked him too.

Overall, the dorama's a comedy. I laughed so much at Night's ridiculous acts and speech, at the amazing things Night could do as a robot...so much. And then I cried so much at the last episode.

I dislike the ending. However, I think this is the best ending, probably. Ironic eh? Because I can't think of other endings to this. For sure it'll be impossible (not matter how cute the couple is) for them two to live together forever because the maintenance fees for Night will get more expensive as his computer hardware ages plus they can't have children or anything! LOL... What other ending can there be? Hene, although I dislike the ending, I accept it. At least it gives us room to imagine. Maybe one day, Namikiri-san will find a way to repair Night and he'll come back to life. XP

I haven't read the manga so I don't know if the manga ended the same way..aniwaes, I'm borrowing the manga set from Jolie yay!!!

It has been a while since I last saw Mokomichi (last seen on Gokusen 2 and Rondo) but he is just as hot as before. I don't usually see such tall Jap guys so he does stand out from the rest.

Talking about Goksen, I've bought Gokusen 3 and watchd 3 eps of it. So far so good...Although I still find the usual elements of Gokusen in this dorama, somehow, this one feels different. Refreshing. Similar in a more original way. Plus, I adore Haruma's hair man!!!

And lastly, to share a pic from a local mag:


 When I first glanced a this pic, I found the girl on the top right quite pretty, but on reading the accompanying paragraph, I was shocked. 'She' is actually Shun yo!!!!! ありえないっつうの~~~~~!!!

btw, des anyone have the mp3 for Ayaka's Okaeri? It's the theme song to Zettai Kareshi and it's a beautiful song ne!

I was just flipping through TVGuide 6/30 - 7/6 when I came across the character analysis page for HanaKimi...well, like most of you, I've only been paying attention to Shun, Toma and Maki. But this time, I took a closer look at all the characters. And I got pissed off. Look at it:
