Why Maou should have ended like Revenge...

Image
I have began watching Revenge since way before I've seen Maou . Since then, I have always thought Revenge is so similar to Maou in the sense that both is about revenge on those who have destroyed their family, but with Revenge a lot more detailed and complicated. Maou was short and straight forward. Well,  Maou is a Japanese drama, whereas Revenge is American, so it makes perfect sense. And now that I have finally watched the finale of Revenge , my mind is just basically filled with "ah, this ending is how Maou should have ended". Revenge has the best ending, ever, for a vengeance drama, and if Maou had ended like that, I bet it would have been more well received. 5 points on why Revenge is similar to Maou : 1. Main character switched name and identity in order to carry out revenge plan 2. Battle between the two main characters 3. Main character uses manipulation to carry out revenge plan (i.e. use others to kill) 4. Nearly all supporting characters di

Why Ninomiya Kazunari is still the best at age 32

Ninomiya Kazunari is not normal. If you put him along with other people the same age as him, he will look out of place. Like, just put him in the age 20's category because no way he's over 30. Wait, I think I may have his youth power too. Maybe when I'm over 30, the same thing will happen to me. But then again, he look great with the rest of Arashi, so maybe he's alright afterall. XD I knew of Nino since I was 10 years old. I was still in England. Was still in primary school. Watched Letters from Iwo Jima and BAM, fell in love with the guy. I had been (sort of) following him since then, and watched some of his dramas and movies along the way. But I wasn't, like, obsessed, you know what I mean? So I didn't know about Arashi. Weirdest thing was that I only knew he was in Arashi after I looked up the group. Which was kind of creepy actually. Other than the fact that Sho and Jun caught my attention when I was watching Arashi's older shows, Nino was the othe

Album Thoughts: ARASHI / LOVE

Title:「LOVE」 Artist: 嵐 Release date: 2013.10.23 I've been busy with work and some other crap that keeps happening to me that I nearly forgot about this blog. I haven't posted anything this month so the first idea that comes into my mind is to do an album thoughts post, because you know, I have made a promise. Well, sort of. Anyway, this time is, of course, the album that was released previously before THE DIGITALIAN , Arashi's twelfth album  LOVE , which is of course, an absolute killer album, if you didn't already know.   This album was released after all members were finally into their 30's, and it is the beginning of the show of their maturity. Because I'm saying this now after a year and a half since the release so this probably wouldn't be as effective as if I did this back then, so this time I really couldn't be bothered to go on about my experiences with the album when it was first released. Okay, maybe I will go on a little bit. Since
