review : Gokusen 2

Feb 21, 2010 21:29

hey guys!! I just finish watching Gokusen 2 :)

first of all, I'm so disappointed with this series.. The first one is AWESOME, EXCELLENT, TOP NOTCH! however this one rather lacks that..

STORY: Shirokin Gakuen is closed. Yankumi (Nakama Yukie) is recruited accidentally to Kurogin Gakuen 3-D class (same class as in Shirokin Gakuen--> Gokusen 1), which is again full of deliquents that are much much troublesome than her previous teaching. She then again has to hide her true identity, which is the granddaughter of Oedo family, a yakuza family.

Nakama's acting is same as usual, very good. Well the other actors and actresses are good too, but I think the main group in Gokusen 1 is much more good than the second one.. The story is similar with the first one, however changed a bit. I kinda disappointed in this, as the storyline becomes boring.. If I must say about the students, well Odagiri Ryu (Kamenashi Kazuya) and Yabuki Hayato (Akanishi Jin) is quite cute if you see them closer xp but still cannot beat Matsujun (Sawada Shin in Gokusen 1).. And many people watch this because of Teppei Koiike, which plays as Take in this series.. I don't really like him... *don't shoot me* his acting is normal, not too bad not too good either, but I just don't really like such girl face as him.. *DON'T SHOOT ME PLEASE*
the main group is kinda filled with similar personality..
they have the quiet one in gokusen 1 Shin,and in second is Ryu..
The deliquent type in gokusen 1 is Uchi, and in second is Tsuchi and Hayato..
The cutey acting one in gokusen 1 is Noda and in second is Take..
Playful type in gokusen 1 is minami, and in second is Hyuga
while they still got the fat person *gomen* in gokusen 1 is kuma, and the second one is kuma too*I forgot the name, but people call him kuma too* but he's not in main group..

The disappointing part is that the story is always revolved around the main group.. One by one the story of Ryu, Hayato, Take, etc is being told.. At first in gokusen 1, I think it was good, that we can get to know them.. But I'm thinking that they should have changed the storyline a bit..

and I must say that it was rather boring to watch gokusen 2.. During the first episodes I got so bored that I don't really watch.. Unlike in gokusen 1, which is very fun to watch every single episode.. Then.. in gokusen 1, the graduation is included as a special episode.. but in gokusen 2, it's part of the main episodes.. I'm thinking maybe because the rating of the graduation episode in gokusen 1 is good, so they thought of making the same one in gokusen 2.. I must say I am disappointed with the second one.. My eyes just become teary, but no tears come out.. It is indeed sad, but.. I just don't really got the feeling as in Gokusen 1.. I must say that the part in gokusen 1 that really moves me is Shin's speech *I'm not saying this because I become Matsujun fan* .. I really think that they should have brought Shin back, as he's one of the important character in Gokusen 1.. even Kuma in gokusen 1 appears a lot in gokusen 2, and even involved in the main story.. and one thing I realize, in gokusen 1 Yankumi puts 3-D class of Shirokin gakuen photo on her desk, but in gokusen 2, I only see 3-D class of Kurogin gakuen.. I'm thinking like.. "Yankumi says that they will always be her students, but why the photo is gone???" The director must have not thought about this, which I think is very important..

One thing good about this series is that they still got the nicest song :) and they still got the actor to play one of the songs.. The song really matches well too..

I haven't watch the special episodes, due to broken link on internet subs, so I will edit this post later.. :D
warning: gokusen 2 doesn't follow the manga/anime..

I will watch Gokusen 3 after this, I hope I won't be as disappointed, but I guess I will, because many people are saying Gokusen 1 is indeed the best Gokusen.. and yet no SHINKUMIIII :"((((( --> fangirl scream *don't mind*
