They also then immediately tell me I look like Abe Hiroshi, which I guess is good, but that might just be because I'm tall.

strugglebunny Wrote:Other people besides me like kekkon dekinai no hito? I can't find anyone in Japan who watched this show. It's my favorite (and its not really a drama -- more dry comedy)I recommend that you try the latest Korean version of this drama. You can find it by searching for "Man Who Can't Get Married" at d-addicts. The subs are available for the whole series. It's got 16 episodes, 1 hour each, so it's longer that the Japanese original. At times I though it was even funnier that the jdrama (I liked the Korean doc better, too ;>).

Wow, this is becoming too time consuming too fast (although it's really useful).
What may need to happen is reduce the list to favorite websites and novels. There's plenty of favorite Drama, Movie, Anime and Manga lists floating around thanks to the large fan base, but websites and novels get little love.
Anyone have an idea where this can be automated, but with enough measures to curb spam voting?
