i managed to watch the first episode of Samurai High today, i liked it better than I thought I would. Its quite funny. Plus, I think its great that Haruma gets to to this type of character that has an Akira-ness to him. (Well, when I saw him dancing about at the school, Akira from Nobuta wo Produce was the first thing to come to my mind anyway.) As well as the character of the Samurai - it really shows of his acting skills well. I think he's an actor that wont be type-cast much because the roles he's done thus far have been fairly differnt.
Anyway, I babble too much.
I also watched first two episodes of Tokyo Dogs. I feel like a lot has already happened in the first two episodes. And I agree, they talk really fast - I find it hard to keep up! At times like these, I wish I knew Japanese, lol.
