gokusen vs hana yori dango

I've hardly been online for the past week because I've been very sick and bedridden. This has mostly been okay though, apart from the feeling horrid, because it meant I got to loll around watching Gokusen. I am now going to make a very intellectual post about Gokusen vs Hana Yori Dango (yes, I don't believe the intellectual bit either), even though they don't have all that much in common beside the INCREDIBLE PRETTINESS OF OGURI SHUN AND MATSUMOTO JUN!



Battle #1 Matsumoto Jun's hair
Seriously. I mean, I loved Domyouji, I thought he was ten sorts of awesome, and kind of pretty but not so much compared to Hanazawa Rui. BUT IN GOKUSEN I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH HIM OMG!

It's the hair. It has to be the hair. I am totally smitten by it. It is long and shiny and has highlighty bits that own my soul. HIS SOULFULLY SAD LOOKS ARE SO MUCH MORE SOULFULLY SAD WITH THAT HAIR!!

I feel kind of bad for the curly-curly-perm hair by saying this though.

Battle #1: Gokusen wins!


Battle #2 Oguri Shun's fashion stylings
This probably isn't fair, because Hanazawa Rui was seriously well-dressed. Even Itachi would've given him a five-star rating and that's like SUPER IMPOSSIBLE to achieve! But he just looked so tall and pretty and he wore SCARVES! OMG, HE LOOKED SO PRETTY IN HIS SCARVES!! AND NOT EVEN VERY GAY AT ALL, WHICH IS ALWAYS A RISK WHEN ACCESSORISING!!

I can hardly remember anything Uchi wore, though this may be the fault of Sawada's pretty hair. It was very distracting for me.

Battle #2: HYD wins!


Battle #3 Thwarted Love
Maybe not so much thwarted, but oh wells. BUT HOW COULD YANKUMI TEACH THEM ANYTHING WITH SAWADA GAZING AT HER SO SOULFULLY??? Maybe she waited until he was napping? BUT SERIOUSLY!! He was so awesome and always helping her out and BEING AWESOME!! I LOVED IT WHEN HE WAS HAVING DINNER WITH HER FAMILY AND THEY WERE FIGHTING OVER THE HOTPOT AND HE TOLD THEM TO STOP AND THEN THEY DID!!! HE SHOULD MARRY HER AND THEN HE CAN TAKE OVER THE FAMILY AND THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!!

I thought it was all in my head, but then at the end when everyone was like "I will be your rival for Yankumi's love" and THEN SAWADA SAID IT TOO, I was VERY HAPPY!! But then they did nothing with it in the special thing, WHICH WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING! Also, how could Yankumi like stupid cop dude when he was STUPID and if he liked her HE SHOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING INSTEAD OF LEADING ALL HER FRIENDS ON AS WELL OMG! SAWADA IS LIKE SO MUCH MORE AWESOME TO THE POWER OF INFINITY!!!

And then there is Rui/Makino, which I knew wasn't ever going to happen because she was always meant to be with Domyouji BECAUSE THEY WERE FROM SATURN!! But I still wanted her to pick Rui because I LOVED HIM and it would be awesome for dramatic purposes, because then she would've had to have broken up with him to be with Domyouji, WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN MUCH BETTER THAN THAT WHOLE STUPID AMNESIA THING!!! Rui was always saving her!! He was awesome! Maybe it's better this way because Makino can be with Domyouji and I CAN MOVE TO HANA YORI DANGO LAND AND MARRY RUI!!! YES, THAT WORKS NICELY!

Battle #3: Gokusen wins.


Battle #4 Sensitive Boys
Rui plays the violin! And Domyouji masks his emo pain with awesome random violence!! And motorcycle guy has a LONG LOST LOVE who broke his heart and now he can't love anything but CUPS OF TEA!! And the other guy has a freaky family. Also, RUI PLAYS THE VIOLIN!! AND STARES OUT RAINY WINDOWS! THEY ARE ALL SENSITIVE AND ADORABLE!

BUT SAWADA LOVES HIS TEACHER!! AND HIS SISTER! AND HE ALWAYS STICKS UP FOR HIS FRIENDS AT ANY COST!!! AND HE HAS THE SENSITIVE SOULFUL EYES!!! [livejournal.com profile] starfishdance, I think Sawada Shin should join our Sensitive Boys Club along with Rui and Itachi and Wu Zun!!

AND UCHI LOVES HIS MOTHER!! AND KUMA IS ADORABLY ADORABLE AND I WANT TO SQUISH HIM!! THEY ARE ALL SO SENSITIVE AND CUTE! LIKE IN THE GRADUATION SPECIAL WHEN HALF OF THE CLASS DIDN'T GET INTO UNIVERSITY AND SO THEY ALL CRIED TO THEIR MOMMAS AND THEN THEY WERE SAVED BY THE LOVE OF OGURI SHUN AND THEN THERE WERE AWESOME SPEECHES ABOUT YANKUMI AND THINGS, THAT WAS VERY, VERY ADORABLE OF THEM!!!

But, Rui plays the violin.

Battle #4: draw.


Battle #5 F4 vs 3D
LOL, I've probably covered this, but I wanted to have five sections.

You know what makes F4 awesome?? EVERYTHING! They are the WORLD-FAMOUS F4!! They are stylishly dressed and have THEIR OWN SECTION OF THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA! WITH MASSIVE PICTURES OF THEMSELVES!! And like when Makino went to New York and her bag got stolen and then THEY GOT HER BAG BACK AND MADE THE WHOLE OF THE MAFIA FEAR HER OMG THAT IS SO AWESOME!! I want to be friends with F4 and have crazy fun times!!

You know what makes 3D awesome? Sawada's hair. Also, the lolz. But mostly the hair.

Battle #5: Sawada's hair F4!!!


RESULT: TIE!!! Yay, that's as it should be because they are both totally awesome!



LOL, I took a break midway through typing this post to go and buy THE MOST AWESOME SANDWICH EVER!! It was a toasted sandwich with bacon, swiss cheese, bococcini, onion and tomato relish. I wanted to marry it.

I am kind of disappointed by the spoilers for the new Naruto chapter. But I shall reserve judgment.

In other news, my housemate has gone INSANE! He is convinced someone broke into our house to MOVE WHERE THE LOCKS ARE PLACED ON THE DOORS! WTF? Also, he in convinced that a hobo is sleeping in the back bedroom. THERE IS NO HOBO, YOU CRAZY OLD MAN!!!

I think from manga, anime and jdrama versions of Gokusen, I love manga the most. Jdrama was a bit too silly at times and anime had this stupid dog.

But here are the real reasons to love the manga.
1) Shin's feelings are canon. He even admitted it when his friends asked about it.
2) His friends keep trying to find ways to get them together. They locked them in a classroom once.
3) Once Yankumi dressed up as highschool girl and they walked holding hands. (Okay, it happened for all the wrong reasons, but still.)
4) Manga's version of Shinohara is much more likable. And he's not a policeman, he's a yakuza lawyer.
5) Due to misunderstanding the other yakuza gangs think that Shin is to be the next leader.
etc...

Very amusing battle.

Have you seen Kimi wa Petto with Matsumoto Jun yet? The cutest and weirdest thing ever.

LOL, yes I've started downloading the manga to read!! It sounds so awesome, I can't wait to start it!! Is it complete? I've only got ten volumes, is there more than that???

I joined [livejournal.com profile] shinkumi last night!!! I started reading fic, and so far it all seems awesome! They are so totally adorable together!! I might have a fic binge over the weekend!!!

I haven't watched Kimi wa Petto yet, but I plan to! I also want to watch Kindaichi. I have such a busy watching schedule!!!

It's complete in Japan, but only scanlated up to vol 10. [livejournal.com profile] shinkumi had some untranslated chapters up though. Now that I checked, I noticed there are a few chapters up I haven't read yet. Yey!

The manga is so different from jdrama! Do you plan to watch Gokusen 2? I stopped after a few episodes. Yankumi has totally different class there. It has Kamenashi Kazuya.

I had my Gokusen period about 1,5 years ago, but the fandom was too small to last for long. :(

Yay, that's awesome!! I have all the scanlated chapters now, but I haven't read them yet because I've been watching Matsujun movies XP

I'll probably watch Gokusen 2 at some stage, for the Kame, but I have a bunch of other stuff to watch first.
