Any good new 2010 dramas? - LaLoche - 2010-01-17

I just finished watching all of JIN, the Japanese medical-historical-SF drama from the fall 2009 TV season, and IRIS, the Korean espionage melodrama. Despite glaring logical holes, both were a lot of fun to watch, and both sucked me in and addicted me. (And JIN was good for my Japanese!)

I got onto them by reading this excellent thread:

Now I need a new drama fix. I'm curious if anyone has spotted any good dramas that have just begun this month.

Oh god Iris was an insanely addictive show.

If you like 書道, then Tomehane is kind of amusing. Calligraphy club on the verge of being shut down for lack of new members tries desperate measures to stay alive; comedy and life lessons ensue, or something.

@Womacks23 We cancelled so many things so we could stay home and watch Iris the second the torrent finished.

@ IceCream Thank you! I eagerly await your post.

@ rich_f It sounds like "Glee" Japanese-style! Or something.

Ryoma Den seems pretty cool, but I'm a sucker for samurai stories Smile

Wow, I must remember to watch this..

Didn't people claim that all new drama from d-addict should have subs because of some change with Japanese TV? Well it doesn't seem to be true, there's no Japanese subs for Tomohane.

Any good new 2010 dramas? - Nukemarine - 2010-01-19

I think the claim was a person was able to get subs off of Japanese TV directly into an .ass format with reasonably close timing. If there were no subs, then there's nothing to pull off.

It seems qop123 is the only one doing it. I'm surprised no one else has volunteered to do so.

Any good new 2010 dramas? - Tobberoth - 2010-01-20

How is that possible, look at all the thousands of anime subbing groups... and this is just timing, how can't there be a million people doing this? :/

Any good new 2010 dramas? - nonpoint - 2010-01-20

Its not real timing either.
It is timing the subs after the show comes back from commercial. Which means it is timing once or twice per episode.
qop123 should upload the raw "poorly" timed ones somewhere (a d-addicts thread works) and let the community go to town on the mf:ers.

EDIT:
In Aegisub select the line that is not properly timed (first one after commercial break)
Go to Timing --> Shift Times...
Then in the Shift Times dialog:
Under _Shift by_ headline chose to shift "forward" and by how many _seconds and microseconds_ you want.
Under _Affect_ headline chose: "Selection onward".
Under _Times_ headline chose: "Start and End times"
Press OK
(After doing that once the settings are saved, so next time you just specify the seconds to shift)
Save as .ass file and enjoy japanese subs.

Just dropping in to say I love Tomehane! so far, even though I barely understand it. I like how it drops in 書道 factoids. It really makes me want to take up calligraphy now.

I've watched 25 minutes so far and I agree, it seems very nice so far. I feel I understand unusually much, maybe because I've watched quite a bit of high school drama before and read a lot of school rumble, so I'm used to the vocabulary.

I also find the factoids very amusing, hopefully watching it will make me a better writer as well Smile

I'm still sad about the subs though, just a raw without any timing would be awesome. All I need it for is to look up the words I don't get and put in my vocab deck, I don't actually need subs for it (especially since I'm not a user of subs2srs).

Any good new 2010 dramas? - atylmo - 2010-01-20

@Tobberoth:
Yeah, I hope the subs turn up. There's a bit of slurred speech that I can't make out even with the volume turned all the way up, so :/ I'm dying to understand what a couple plot points are too.

A raw would be awesome. What you mentioned reminds me of what I did with another show. I kept the subtitle file open while the video played and moved through it. I think really I'd rather do it like that than have normal subtitles.

I was actually surprised at how much I managed to get without subs, but that's still hardly enough for me to follow the show well heh.

First of all, they don't have tomehane! on dramanote.

Second of all, dramanote generally has generic scripts, not untimed subs. Loads of conversation isn't in the scripts and instead there's a bunch of useless text about what is going on in the drama.

A little off topic, but does anybody know a place to get Japanese subtitles for anime?

Thanks! Too bad, but they only had 1-4 of 東のエデン. I really wish DVD/bluray didn't cost so much in Japan... Guess I'll have to hit the video rental for subs, as it generally seems easier.
