I'll be adding more later.

 

Watch Yamegoku! It's amazing, really (and not just because Yuko's in it)
Also Zeni no Sensou is pretty good as well.

 

try to watch proposal daisakusen
and you will know how wonderful japanese dorama than the other

 

I just realize that slice of life anime is actually 2d version of dorama. Then in my hatachi:

Yeah, I still don't have interest to watch real dorama. ._.

 

My interests have shifted. I don't watch nearly as much anime as I did before, but I have seriously gotten into dramas since watching my first one in January. In 3 months, I have seen over 20 dramas.

The last one I watched was Mother, from 2010, starring Ashida Mana. I already knew of Mana-chan before watching this, since she's such a famous child actress in Japan, but I thought that I wouldn't be able to see her as anything other than the Ashida Mana that I've seen in interviews and variety shows. I was so wrong, and I can now see why she is so popular in Japan; her acting is phenomenal!

 

if the video does not show watch the video here
チア☆ダン, a movie starring Hirose Suzu about cheerleading. It's a great movie.
(37:40 you can see Suzu singing KoiChun which is my dream collaboration )

 

I saw this in my japanese class and I've watched it twice, it's a really great movie!

Also, does anyone know any good high school romance dramas/movies? Those are the ones I tend to enjoy the most, although it doesn't have to be restricted to just high school age

 

You may have seen them already, but the ones that I enjoyed were:

Hana Yori Dango (2005; 2 seasons and 2 specials) - Set in high school
Kahogo no Kahoko (2017; 1 season) - Set in university
Itazura na Kiss (2013; 2 seasons) - Set in high school

 

I've seen the anime version of Hana Yori Dango and itazura na kiss but I haven't seen kahogo no kahoko

 

Itazura na kiss is one of my favorites dramas so i subscribe that recommendation.

Other good dramas i remember right now with that setting are My Boss my hero and Sekai no chushin de ai wo sakebu, although both of them are very different to the ones already recommended i think they are top tier dramas.

Since this is my first post in this thread i'll leave this here: https://mydramalist.com/dramalist/Kiri-Jolith
I really need to update that....

 

Just watch Keiji Yugami... gosh, this drama so underrated. It's better than what I was expect. Already bored to detective drama. I pict this drama bcs main cast interest me, Kamiki and Asano Tadanobu. Then I fell in love to this drama.

And... new season will start soon. Not check any upcoming list yet. Only hear HanaDan new gen, seem it's get so much hype. I like Sugisaki Hana, so, may be I'll check it.

Still waiting for 2nd season of Cold Case and Hanzawa Naoki.
