Fight-oh! Oh!

Done with 4 episodes of the Live Action version of Gokusen! And yes, I'm going to keep talking about it until I finish all twelve episodes. T__T I hope I finish with the available 11 eps before the subbed version of ep 12 comes out though. So I can be all caught up and everything. XD

Gokusen icons over at [livejournal.com profile] iconblue. Anime icons to come soon, because someone nice over at [livejournal.com profile] shinkumi posted nice quality anime caps. XD Click the cut. You know you want to. Even if only for the nice cappiness. :p PIC SPAM ALERT!!! XD Much ShinKumi-ness too. HET ALERT!! ;D And of course, there are some musings on the show itself. ^______^

Gokusen: Fight-oh! Oh!;
When I saw the first episode, I thought I wasn't going to like the drama as much as I did the anime and manga. The fact that Shinohara-sensei was a cop didn't suit well with me, the addition of the school nurse seemed weird, and Kyou-san was missing. :/ And JDorama!Yankumi is so much more naive than Animanga!Yankumi, who seems surer at what she does. But as I conitnued to watch though (am up til episode 4 now), I began liking it more and more. The fact that there seems to be so much more ShinKumi than in the anime and manga, is a pretty good bonus too.

But what I like so much about the drama is that each of the punk kids from the main group has a lot of personality. Only til ep 4 and I can see that. In the anime, they're okay, but the focus is really on Yankumi and Shin. Which is okay since they are the main characters, but I like knowing a lot more about the other students in 3-D too. At first, I didn't like ot much that they shuffled the characters and the happennings. They took away the seniors, they gave Minami the girlfriend, Uchi is the one with a struggling mother instead of Kuma, PLUS he's the one incorrectly accused of being a thief instead of Noda.. and Noda, Noda has a crush on Fujiyama. And the original animanga Fujiyama's personality appears to have moved to Kawashima instead. ^^; Then I realised that's good, in its own way. At leats it wouldn't seem like I'm watching a repeat of the anime. There are new twists, and half the time I wouldn't have an idea of what's happening.

Plus the punk kids aren't as ugly as in the animanga. They're not the bishie-est kids around, but you eventually find them pretty okay, if not too good-looking.



Ojou! She's pissed because Kumai says she needs a man. XP There's always Shin. ♥


And Tetsu has a thing for the Ojou in the drama, which I find cute. But we all know, between Shinohara and SHIN ♥, he has no chance in hell. So I'm all for Tetsu/Fujiyama which actually seems possible in the drama. :p



You can't help but love Class 3-D. Especially the main group. In the drama you can feel their friendship and bond so much more than in the anime and manga. ^_^


Uchi's my favorite in the drama (next to Shin of course), even though I liked him least in the anime and manga. :p I wonder how long it takes him everyday to friggin' do that hair do. not to mention I think he has a different one every episode. :p Hee~


Noda, the Laptop Guy, is next. Because he has the cutest best expressions out of them all. XD


Fight-oh! Oh! (Shin: baka da ne~)



Heeeee~ I can sooo bypass MatsuJun's ugly teeth if he smiles like this all the time. And all because of Yankumi!! ♥ This is the kind of expression Shin gets only when he's looking at Yankumi. ;p Always secretly. XD


Yankumi: Sawada!! Sawada!! Watcha think?!

I LOOOOOOOVE SHIN'S EXPRESSION! So cute, the two of them. ^^; Shin: You look fine. :|



And look how Shin is always sneaking looks at her, with that kawaii espression. Pure look of admiration. *squee* One that voices out his thoughts: "That's MY GIRL!!"


And yet, more ShinKumi goodness... *swoons*


Yankumi: That's the first time you called me Yankumi!!



The infamous "Baka" scenes! *swoons allover again* Look how cute they are!!! T____T


I think the reason why I'm obssessing over the Gokusen JDrama is because I want to feel all giggly, etc. (IOW, gusto kong kiligin~) But I don't wat to read or watch anything overly cheesy. So ShinKumi is just PERFECT. ♥♥♥

The thing about Shin and Yankumi, even though I'm not the biggest advocate of student-teacher relationships (actually, I'm not at all), is not that Shin's the cutest. Or bishie-est. The others like Yankumi just as much, but all they see in Yankumi is a cool teacher. (Heck I want a teacher like that. :p) But to Shin, Yankumi isn't just a teacher. He's shown interest in her right from the start, and its not because she's a teacher. Its because he sees something special in her. Something special that will eventually develop onto something of a crush. Yankumi is too naive to realise it, but Shin certainly interests her too. So cute. And so borderline canon. XD

Kyaaa~ I can't wait to download episode 05. From the preview, I can tell there's so much ShinKumi. Am I right? Hopefully I am. :p Expect another entry like this. ;) And yeah, caps to be put up soon in [livejournal.com profile] iconblue.
