Hana Yori Dango(花より男子)


(Note:I reviewed the series as a whole..i.e the 2 seasons of the series and the movie that followed it)
Hana Yori Dango was my first attempt at watching a j-drama.And after watching many more,I'd say that Hana Yori Dango remains my favorite j-drama till date.The drama provides a nice balance of comedy ,sadness,love,hate, jealousy and other dramatic elements.The drama is based on a very popular manga of the same name.The story involves girl from a not so rich family(actually quite poor) who is studying in an Elite school for the rich.Besides that the school is apparently run by a group of 4 boys(who are quite handsome!) called F4 who reign total dominance over the school as their parents donated vast amounts of money to the school.Our Heroine,Makino Tsukushi(played by Mao Inoue ) has a run in with the group and gets into trouble especially with the head of the group Domyouji Tsukasa(Played byJun Matsumoto )
From there on the story mainly focusses on Makino's relations with the group ,especially with Doumyouji.The first season mainly focusses on Makino and her relationships with the F4.The story later on develops into a love story between Makino and Domyouji,which becomes evident in the latter part of the season.Season 2(known as Hana Yori Dango Returns) continues from where the first season left off.The second season focusses more on the relationship between Domyouji and Makino.Class differences and the ways of the rich are given more emphasis here.Season 2 has it's good moments except for certain fillerish episodes which were very tiring to watch.The story concludes in the movie Hana Yori Dango:Final,which is more of an adventure oriented story!!
(L-R:Tsuyoshi Abe,Shun Oguri,Mao Inoue,Jun Matsumoto,Shota Matsuda)

Hana Yori Dango is a great entertainment package.If you are ever interested in watching a j-drama then Hana Yori Dango is definately the one you should watch!

Kolkata Anime Club(KAC)

The 12th of December saw the Birth of the first official anime club of Kolkata.After nearly a month of haggling with the dates on Facebook,we finally managed to choose a date to have our first meet.Many had decided to attend,but some pulled out later with the Facebook event page showed only 7 people attending!Nevertheless we decided to carry on on hold the meet as scheduled.The meet was held on a lazy sunday afternoon at a well known mall Kolkata i.e South City.I arrived there a good half an hour early and made my way to the food court where the meet was supposed to be held.After a bit of searching ,I found the KAC members seated near the KFC outlet.Our club president Nia(Nyaa~Chan as we fondly call her ^_^),was the first to recognise me and I soon enough I found myself seated among a small and dedicated otakuish group.10 mins later and after the arrival of a few more members  we started off our meet dot on time.."Introductions Please" ,as Nia said,and I was the first one to ...
