Seeing the jdrama article by Jade reminded me to check out some of the new drama this season. I've got into Mozu as it's a joint production between TBS and WOWOW and WOWOW stuff is always pretty good! Alice no Toge sounds interesting too although Mozu is quite dark so maybe I should find a more light-hearted drama to watch alongside it. What's everyone else watching?

(Oh wow, I thought no one actually read that (;´▽`A`` Thank you lol)
Mozu sounds really interesting, I'm gonna have to catch up and start watching it. I don't think I've ever watched a WOWOW drama, so if there's any you can recommend? ♥
I'm really liking Alice no Toge so far (I fell asleep before I could watch last night's episode though, oops), if only I understood the medical jargon more OTL Medical dramas, why? D: lol
Atm, I'm really only watching Alice no Toge and Bitter Blood, but I'm planning on starting Smoking Gun, Sailor Zombie, First Class (I missed the first episode last week. Why is everything on so late? lol), and maybe finally finish Rich Man, Poor Woman, and Hana Kimi.

There's a list of past WOWOW dramas here. I remember 贖罪 and 分身 being very good. I really wanted to watch 震える牛 but I had to give up because the only episodes I could find had bad audio sync and it became too painful to watch They do have a lot of dark dramas so if you like crime I'd definitely recommend trying something out! They also have dramas that are only a few episodes long (I think 贖罪 was five episodes) which allows for series long plots rather than 'mystery of the week' style dramas. It is a cable channel though so finding episodes can be tricky.

Jade, I just watched the first episode of Alice no Toge and it's wonderful! Exciting, yet also ridiculously over the top. I love it!

Yay! I'm so glad you like it♥︎ I was afraid that a lot of people wouldn't because parts of it are very talk-y, but it's so good.

Jade, have you finished Alice no Toge? What did you think? It's definitely one of the best drama I've seen for a while. I did not see that ending coming! The bit at the very end about the pie made me cry as well

The bit at the very end about the pie made me cry as well Oh no! I have to catch up, I haven't watched any since I missed episode four ^^; I'm definitely putting it at the top of my list for shows to watch next. Damn, maybe I'll just stop catching up on other shows and start it again instead lol

I don't know anywhere to buy it with subtitles, but Amazon Japan should ship DVDs most places. I know I can get them shipped to Australia at least.

AlanP In that case, you could probably just torrent/download the drama with the subtitles either as an external file (.srt) or the episodes in .mkv format (as most of the time these are soft subbed) and use a program called VLC Player to watch them. VLC Player has the option to show or disable subtitles in video as long as the videos aren't hard subbed (the subtitles aren't rendered completely onto the video).

I've looked at three so far If you want dark and depressing I recommend 家族狩り. Serial murder, miserable broken homes, it has it all! I'm not sure where it's going exactly but I recommend having something cheerful lined up to do after watching. If you like Miyabe Miyuki, ペトロの葬列, the sequel to 名のなき毒 (the book was called 「誰か」 I think) has started. If you want ridiculous 僕らはみんな死んでいる♪ is good. A group of people find out they're all dead. A talking dog claims to be God and sets them a challenge. The two people who succeed get to try again at life. What is the challenge? To fall in love. Yes, it really is that ridiculous.
