IS Episode 1 Screenshots

IS - Otoko demo Onna demo nai Sei

Finished "IS - Otoko demo Onna demo nai Sei"!  It's amazing how things have changed since I watched my first downloaded J-drama.  I can't recall exactly which one it was but I remember it was already a few years old by the time I watched it.  This is the first time I actually started watching one that had just aired in Japan.

I'm not sure now which drama I'll be watching next.  I have to look around and see which ones are available.  I did however, find a new Abe Hiroshi movie that I'll probably start watching tonight and I'll finish it this coming weekend.

BTW, if you want to watch any of the dramas I've watched, send me a msg with your email and I'll send u the megaupload link.  I'm going to give them code titles because if I give the actual title, I'll probably be violating something and megaupload will be forced to take it down.  There are a few dramas that were on my other hard drive that I lost a few months ago but the newer ones that I have mentioned lately, I still have them.  

Screenshots.  It took me a while to watch 10 episodes of "IS - Otoko demo Onna demo nai Sei" because I kept having to stop to get screenshots :P  For some episodes there are a lot and for others a few.  I purposely did not make that many from the finale because I didn't what to give too much away.

I have to say I didn't like the ending at all.  I thought it would end differently and when something worked itself out, I thought of the obvious only to see that it didn't go that way at all!

I did see 2 actors for the first time that I really liked Gouriki Ayame (Aihara Miwako); I think she's beautiful.  She also did "Taisetsu no Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta" as Sonoda Nozomi.  Of course I don't remember seeing her so I'm going to have to go back and watch a little bit of that drama again until I can find her.  I also liked Fukuda Saki (Hoshino Haru).  I've got some nice pics of Saki after the Episode 10 screenshots.

HYD Movie Screenshots

Finally finished the movie!  While I prefer the dramas because they were fun, I thought the movie was nice.  I didn't like that it was..well, a movie.  HYD3 would have been excellent!  Of course the movie ends the way everyone who has seen the dramas expects it to end.  

Best part of the movie for me was when Domiyoji and Makino are sitting alone in the room Makino's family is staying in after the tiara was handed down to Makino.  She seemed to be overwhelmed but Domiyoji sat next to her and said "I'll protect you till the end of my life. So don't worry and follow my lead..." *SIGH*  

These screenshots (as well as the others I have posted and will be posting) are in chronological order.  I was not going to post the ones from the end of the movie so as to not spoil anything for anyone.  However, I realized, anyone who has watched the dramas already know what the end will be so nothing will be given away.  BUT...if you've not seen any or all of the dramas, look at the screenshots at your own risk.  I also was planning to put the screenshots in different posts but I figured I should just put them all in this one.  Here they are...
