Special A and SS501

So, after finishing Initial D, i decided to watch Special A…

Info –> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_A

This anime was only 24 episodes, so it wasnt too hard to finish. And of course, i have the bad habit of skipping “boring” parts, ie lovey dovey scenes where boy and girl stare into each other’s eyes.

S.A. reminded me of Ouran High School Host Club, which i watched a few years ago. Maybe it was the Japanese school uniforms, or the really generic Japanese male character hairstyles. Or maybe it was because it was about rich high school kids. A lot of Japanese manga/anime have a poor/middle class main character who somehow infiltrates upper class society, ie Hana Yori Dango, Ouran High School Host Club, Mei Chan no Shitsuji… It gets pretty dam repetitive, but yet i still watch it…

Then, i spent the rest of my afternoon downloading the OST for Boys Before Flowers and looking up SS501 mvs. SS501 members look like girls.

The ‘guy’, Kim Hyun Joong, furthest on the right was in Boys Before Flowers, and played Hanazawa Rui’s character. He looked a lot better after he cut his hair short (meaning he actually looked like a guy). I love his solo version of SS501’s 내 머리가 나빠서 (Because Im Stupid). Ask me to send it if you’re interested. I don’t think i’ll ever get back into korean dramas, but their music isnt too bad! : )

Next… Samurai Champloo.
