素直になれなくて: Saw a friend who said it was brilliant on his facebook. Decided to download it.
I think it'll be an OK, not-too-serious drama. There are serious parts, but despite Ueno Juri and Eita, it won't be another Last Friends.
トラブルマン: Haven't heard of it. Generally I don't download "Renzoku" because...I don't know, actually. I just assume it'll be boring. But it's funny? Might look into it.
Also: what's up with your grading system? B/I and I? I don't know what they mean

If you like your ドラマ in 15-minute chunks, you can still climb on to the げげげの女房 (the second word is supposed to be pronounced "おんなぼう") train. The Japanese isn't all that hard, IMO. B, sometimes I. It runs daily Su-F on NHK, as well as on TV-Japan in the US. It'll run for the next 10 months or so, so it's not like if you miss an episode, you'll miss a great deal. (Reminds me, I need to catch up. >_>)
The main character is the woman who eventually marries the mangaka who draws Gegege no Kitaro, and their daily misadventures and whatnot. It's supposed to take place during the early 1960s, so if you like Showa stuff, you'll like this.

Thanks for making this topic! I've just set them up to record with my Torne.
I watched the first episode of 素直になれなくて last week and it seems like it will be decent. I think my girlfriend likes it more than me, though. At least it's fun to pick out the Tokyo locations!

Just saw the first episode of Mr. Brain on TV-Japan. It's a TBS title about a guy who had a head injury, then studied neuroscience and joined a hyped-up (fictional) crime lab. He's the 変わり者 kind of hero who uses science to solve crimes, but not in the standard way. It's not bad if you like kind of odd police series that are heavy on neurophyisology. You have to give them a bit of dramatic license here and there... realistically, anyway.
Some science jargon, mixed with police jargon. The general language is pretty much B-I police drama, with some I-A stuff in there for the neuroscience.
