A Tale of a Single Dad (Japanese Drama : Zenkai Girl)

Yamada Souta (Nishikido Ryo) is a stay at home dad looking after his son, Pitaro. He fancies a workaholic lawyer, Ayukawa Wakaba (Yui Aragaki) as he admires her confidence and brilliance in the corporate world. However, she looks down on him thinking he’s an unproductive and useless member of society that does not contribute to the country’s economy.

The premise of the story is relatable as in Asian society, the men are still expected to earn more than the women because they are still expected to be the breadwinner. When a man meets the woman’s parents, he will be interrogated on his occupation to gauge his salary to see if he has what it takes to take care of their daughter financially, now and forever.

As a result of this high expectations, Asian men (not all) tend to be insecure when they are dating women of higher position and pay than them because they are afraid of being judged and criticised by society. Even today, there are househusbands who often get ridiculed or joked by others who say, “must be nice living off your wife’s money without having to work.”

An example is shown in the drama, Life’s Punchline where the character Junpei is married to his high school sweetheart who is now a corporate lady who is constantly surrounded by colleagues with better prospects and so feels insecure that she might leave him for someone better as he is only an artist with no stable income and merely pursuing his passion.

While you’ve heard about the sexist expectations of women belonging at home, there is also the sexist expectations of men belonging at the workplace. Meaning, if you’re at home looking after your kid, or being a househusband or looking after your ageing and sick parents, you are considered worthless to society for not contributing to the workforce.

This is also a reason why there are suicide cases prevalent among men in Asia. Just as not every women wants to be a housewife, not every men wants to be a salarymen or office worker. Some wants to run a home baking business, like this character in this drama who runs his own eatery and is good in cooking but doubt his self worth when he sees salarymen who are better than him.

On top of it all, he has imposter syndrome because his wife divorce him for someone else, leaving him alone to take care of his son. And it got worse when she re-appeared in his life a year later after the wife is back to being single and wants to take the son into her custody instead, which will leave him with nothing and he keeps asking himself “Am I a good father?”

MY RETURN TO J-DORAMALAND… HOPEFULLY?

The 2011 Summer Season line-up is.. INTERESTING? NO! AWESOOOME! hahaha. (yes, i think i'm fangirling again. :P)

(c) Ninomiya Tomoko, Nodame Cantabile, Fuji TV, japanesedrama.tumblr.com

Anyway. I might go and check out the following dramas. HAHA. Tell me whatcha think of them, and if I should watch something that is not on this list. :)

1. Zenkai Girl. Initially, because I saw that Aragaki Yui and Nishikido Ryo stars in this.  I mean, I love Gakky.  And almost ALL the dramas that Ryo appears in proves to be worth watching for me.  Anyhow, aside from this, reading the synopsis.. well. It seems like those feel-good drama things. So. To combat stress brought on by school, WHY NOT? [Started: 7/11/11]

2. Hi wa Mata Noboru. It's a police drama, in a way.. I guess. So that's a plus. Then there's Miura Haruma so that's awesome. Then there's also Narimiya Hiroki. LOL. I LOVE it when those two work together. hahahaha. In Akibahara@Deep and Bloody Monday I and II. LOL. Then, it's one of those feel-good storylines too. And, this might be the Miura Haruma's first.. "negative" role.. maaah, you know what I mean. hahaha. So, let's go see this!

3. Meitantei Conan. Come on. Who hasn't heard of Detective Conan? hahaha. yes, it should be obvious by now that I like police dramas. hahahaa. Anyway, Mizobata Junpei stars here! He's one of those actors I wanna see evolve into great ones.  So.. him in the leading role this time might be worth watching. I liked him in Hana Kimi, BOSS, Buzzer Beat, and Seito Shokun! Maybe I'll like him as Conan too. (But before that, I have to watch the 3rd special starting him as well. lol. Heard it was released around April 2011. :P)

4. Ikemen desu ne Hmm. I dunno. I saw Minami Shineyo. I liked it, but I thought it was too... shallow. Maybe with a Japanese rendition it will be deeper? I mean, Jdoramas are often less shallower than Kdramas anyway. So. Maybe. I'll take a chance. Hn. Cast-wise.  Well, there are Johnnys present. So. Maybe, let's see.  Yaotome Hikaru was pretty good in Orthros no Inu. So. Let's see.

5. Jiu Series about investigators! Which means, this is of the mystery genre!! :D :D :D Plus, Kuroki Meisa + Tabe Mikako. That would be an interesting pair, wouldn't it?  And I think Shirota Yu is on this one too. I never really liked him, but he's "okay." hahaha XD

6. Ouran High School Host Club. Need I say more? HAHAHA. I'm sorta familiar with most of the cast. BUT.  Ryusei Ryo as NEKOZAWA? WHAT? hahahaha. That will be interesting. XD

7. Tempest A jidaigeki in 10eps? That's unusual. Plus, it's a gender bender starring Nakama Yukie. So. Let's try. haha.

8. Hana Kimi. A remake not even 5 years later? Weird. >.< But, that akb48 girl in Q10 stars as Ashiya. Hmm. Let's see. (I probably won't go through with this though. So why is this even on this list? LOL)

So. A list of 8 dramas. I probably won't watch all. Considering I'm currently busy with school work (4th year college, thesis and all..) also I'm kinda watching/catching-up with some Kdramas. LOL. But we'll see. Maybe. Just maybe. :}

honestly relieved shoma's already killed one of his evil siblings because it makes me way less worried about the show rehabilitating his wretched dad later on

[surprise-its-polls]

Who Would Win?

I am BEGGING yall to read the abilities below

Serinepth Sinderman from Trials and Trebuchets

Primarily lightning magic. Also has draconic scales which offer protection. She can mess around with elements and is incredibly powerful.In true Magical Girl fashion, she has solved many, many problems through the power of communication and making friends. She has also killed several people. She and her friends found a way to hell, and they were able to successfully lie, fight, and gamble their way into rescuing a fallen comrade. Her connection to nature and its magic allows her a low-grade teleportation ability.

She is responsible for two murders

Zenkai Magine from Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger

Magine Stick: serves to bludgeon opponents or zap them with pink lightning bolts, though in addition to this, it can manifest solid illusions (such as a clone of herself or a disguise) that can interact effectively with the enemy. ; Fortune Telling (kinda mid) ; Geartlinger, Sentai Gears

By switching her Sentai Gear to its Kikai Side, Zenkai Magine grows larger to fight the Kudaitests. Zenkai Magine can transform into her mecha form, MagineDragon

how does gozyu sound even more "traditional" than boonboom

[tf2heritageposts]

the thing that REALLY has been pissing me off about tf2 lore for AGES now is how inconsistent they are about what australium does

initially, it was the source of australia’s power and caused ANYONE exposed to it to develop huge muscles and facial hair even if they’re a girl

then later on, gray mann is shown using australian to keep himself alive but he’s visibly very feeble and tiny, with no facial hair at all

then classic heavy uses the australium for a quick zenkai boost and doesn’t grow any additional facial hair

THEN admin takes a fuckton of it and she just turns into a young woman?

and then grey mann explains australium as just a life extending substance? and admin uses it to fucking torture a dude for 200 years

what the hell man

[deusvervewrites]

Yeah, the Saiyan AU definitely has a LOT going on that needs to be accounted for, and giving definite answers too soon has the potential to cause issues further along.

That said, if Recovery Girl ever finds out about the Zenkai Boost, she will definitely have a migraine. No matter when or where it happens.

Correct

[keereru]

With the recent additions of 21 and Zenkai Kale in Legends, bring on more girl teams!

Gozyuger suits and poster just dropped

under the cut since it's a leak

not sure how im feeling about these. dig the helmets but the empty chests are an odd choice (i know people are speculating they'll have changing symbols based on the gimmick, but blank being the default seems a bit wack). robot looks neat

honestly these are "cool" but in a way that feels slightly off somehow. like if you had told me this was another country doing their own iteration on super sentai i'd believe you. my first thought was china's battle strike team

but i thought boonboomger's designs were terrible when they were first revealed and they've since become some of my favorites, and im happy sentai is still experimenting with their designs post-zenkai

excited for the first female black ranger but it looks like the rumors about getting a girl blue were wrong and there's only one woman on the team again so im going to blow myself up
