A principal as a father

Story: A typical school drama format as others are but this time our main character is a principal instead of an teacher. I like this as it could approach different issues a principal faces than from a teacher but still they focused on the principal doing teacher duties like solve the issues of the students. I'm fine with this. Some of my favorite issues they dealt with are when a student misses time of school due to injury which leads to them missing out of knowing how to do multiplication table. Up to the point, my favorite story was how a teacher was bullied by their students and how they would overcome it if so. Lastly, I found the most fascinating issue was how a student who bullys others turns out to be the one being bullied/abused outside. The way this student portrays the bullying makes you never think how she has that energy to bully others when inside she's suffering from abuse. I didn't like the over the top repeated nicknames of Naruse calling himself the demon of whatever. The minor character were just enough detailed in the drama. I also wonder why they only focused on one grade level instead of the others. They could have Naruse kocho put more impact on more teachers there.

Acting/Cast: These past 2 years I have been a fan of Eguchi Yosuke's acting. I think he nails these roles of being the father like figure and teaching others what's right. I know that because he has other dramas of this type of role. I think out of the child actors here that did their roles the best they could were the ones who played Yuki and hara.

Music: I'm glad they didn't use a happy upbeat song for the drama. It was more of a soft calming song that fits the tone of the drama more because of the tough issues that are going on.

Re watch: I would say I would come back some days and go back and see this drama again but not like I have to watch it again and again.

Final thoughts: I think if your a fan of school dramas with a teacher as the main character than this is a good choice. It deals with pretty good issues about school and it doesn't have over the top comedy.

Love and Farm!

I didn't think a drama about farming would be something to watch but it was watchable.

Story: It stars with 6 students going to Hokkaido in a town where they learn about the farm life for an internship. Only one of the students actually wanted to do this internship and had farming as their goal for the future. The other 5 were picked by random or some sort to go as well even though they weren't that interested in farming. This drama is not all about teaching these students what the farm life is but also about how these students become more mature and learn from this experience. I like that each of the 6 had a different personality and motive for why they are there or what they want to do. We got good character development on 5 of them except for one of the students. I was disappointed that they didn't explain more about Wakamatsu, he was't show as much as the other 5 and was basically the comedy student of the group which I felt sucked. Most of the drama was about the character growth of the students and the last episodes focused more of the state of that town. The issues in this drama that the students faced were realistic. I like that they really showed how much of sacrifices farmers face each day and that miracles aren't likely to happen to solve your problem. I was very disappointed that my favorite minor character Katsuya's mother didn't make it through the show. She was easily the kindest character of this drama and helped the students for how long she lasted. I only wish she interacted more with the other students. This show had ok enough minor characters but think they could have done more with like Takashi's sister. All 6 of the students along with Katsuya and Takashi's sister had a connection with one another who they liked but they really didn't take it far. No one really ended up with one another at the end but the feelings were confessed to the ones they like. So if your looking for romance in this drama then best of luck because the friendship of the 6 were more focused. I love the way they presented that being there at the town during the summer made the students live like a kid again and not worrying about their life.

Acting/Cast: I really do think the cast here was filled with popular names. Karina, Toda, and Aibu those are some names I know and became more popular later on. I mainly watched this drama for the loaded cast and because I wanted to see more of Tamayama Tetsuji. I also find it amusing of the growth of his facial hair from the beginning of this drama to the end. I like the cast, it was strong and good.

Music: The ending song is called Green Days by Makihara Noriyuki. Nothing special at first listening to it but it got a bit catchy later on. I think this song was fine and the title Green Days relates a bit to the drama.

Re watch: A drama like this is my type I like to watch because of the pace of the show. I like the feeling of the drama from the farming they do to the small stuffs like festivals they celebrated. I'm a fan of dramas that showcase more of what the characters do outside of their work. So I would watch this drama again maybe again during the summer time.

Overall: This is not a bad drama that people think it is or the rating it has here. It's not just about learning to farm or a farming simulator drama, its also the usual slice of life drama which I am a fan of. This drama is another example to why I love dramas in the 2000s.

I admit I am not a fan of newer sentai series because its so obvious that they aim it more to kids. For example the ending songs/dances or the repeated themes like ninjas, animals, dinosaurs. There was something about Lupinranger vs Patoranger which was this vs concept that they tried out. Yeah it's been reported that this show did not reflect well at all in terms of toy sales which is their main target but to me my purpose to watch super sentai is not for the toys but for the enjoyment of the show in other terms like the plot. This show was not the best I have ever watch nor it was not the worst thing ever but it was a good show.

Story: The motive for an usual sentai team is that people gain the power as a ranger then they use it to defend the world from monsters. It's simple but it can get worn out and become bland. Now for the lupinrangers, they have an interesting motive to why they are lupinrangers which is because they need to gather/steal these collection pieces from the ganglars(monsters of the show) in order to make a wish so that their loved ones can return alive again from a tragedy that happened. See for the lupinrangers it's not really about destroying the monsters and protect the world although it happened just a bit, but they just want to take the collection pieces and flee. It's something different and interesting for a sentai team to do and you wonder if they would continue to be lupinrangers when they gather all the collection pieces because their goal is done and they don't have to be lupinrangers anymore. Let me say that this show was heavily more focused on the lupinranger in terms of about everything. The Patorangers are a police team, they protect the world from the ganglars and arrest the lupinrangers. The Patorangers are more of the normal sentai team. The addition of the 6th ranger Noel was another new interesting idea because hes a member to both teams but again is more on the lupinranger's side. I like the guy, he has a good personality but his backstory was lacking.
The lupinrangers have the best characters and I was cheering for them. Each of the three have good backstories. Although I wished they could have done more a bit with their backgrounds. Now to the Patorangers, they were shafted in this show. I couldn't really care for them except for Keiichiro because he played a key role to Kairi. The other two weren't focused well enough to make me care for them. The Patorangers were mostly used as the comedy characters. Something interesting during the show was how would these two teams interact with each other. Sure enough the Patorangers were just good customers to the lupinrangers cafe. Only Kairi and Keiichiro had a good interactions from the two teams and was the best relationship from the two teams. I thought the Umika and Sakuya pairing was a bit dumb especially for Sakuya's side of liking Umika it wasn't explained well. My favorite relationship of the series was Kairi and Umika sharing a brother/sister relationship. I even liked that episode of when Umika's dad appeared.
A big part of this show that kept you watching was the reveal of the lupinrangers identities and let me tell you I was let down of how they did it. I think they could have don it better or heck not even do a reveal since the patoranger knew by the end who they were. Maybe they could have build some small side characters that were friends of the lupinranger like there was this neighbor lady that knew Umika but later on was never shown again. If they still went with a thieves reveal, it should have been done around episodes 30-39 to build an plot of the lupinrangers being on the run. I am glad that at the end they stayed to the vs concept with both sides not becoming one team but still competing against each other. The story of this show was very good but not perfect.

Acting/Cast: The actors of Kairi, Keiichiro, Umika, and Noel stand out the most. I do think that they could have added more minor side characters like older people as friends to the lupinrangers.

Music: The main reason I actually watched this show was that the opening song was so catchy to me. I was already hooked to this show because of the song. The opening song is a duet of two songs by different artists and its so catchy. I also liked that this show didn't have an ending dance/song because of how more serious this sentai was. Lupat's opening has become one of my favorite sentai opening songs ever.

Re watch value: Hmm this series did have lots of filler episodes and I only enjoyed one of the sentai teams but I may one day re watch this series but it won't be on my top priority list.

Overall : I thought that this vs concept in super sentai was something new and interesting to do and would love for them to do another series like this. I think this is one of the better sentai seasons. I wish more sentai series would focus more of reality/life in the shows with the characters. It could have added a bit more to this show. This show is good at its characters and the plot is simple, different, and interesting. If your not a fan of the more childish sentai series then this is a good sentai series to watch.

I found this drama when I was searching up music from spitz (Japanese band). I came across a song called "sora mo toberu hazu". I really liked this song and then I found a video of a drama that used this song for their opening. That drama was called "Hakusen Nagashi" and it looked like something I would want to watch. I looked it up and saw Nagase Tomoya an actor I enjoy watching with others that I didn't much know about. Most of the time, if theres a song in a drama that I really like then I know the drama will be good. Hakusen Nagashi didn't disappoint me.

Story: Nothing too out of the box for the plot. This drama is a mix of great things in it. The plot focuses on school, life, friends, and drama. One of the big plots in this drama is dreams/goals after high school. Realizing what you want to do after high school. Also it shows how two people from different worlds are able to connect with each other. I was hooked into seeing how Wataru and Sonoko were going to meet the first time and then on. I really liked that they didn't make Hasebe and Kayano the antagonists for the rest of the drama. I could have easily seen them trying to ruin Wataru and Sonoko's relationship in a lot of the episodes but they didn't because they learned to change. I'm glad that this drama showed how these two sort of change into better people. I wasn't a fan of the way they had to end Wataru and Sonoko's relationship. It just felt lazy and stupid like come on he did it because the other part time students made a bet with him, just dumb.
The first half of the show felt more of Sonoko and Wataru's relationship while the second half focused more on the friendship of everyone. I'm a little disappointed that Wataru didn't get a picture in with the group at the end. The importance of the things you do while graduation is coming closer was a key in this as they gave us a how many days are left for their graduation at the end of each episodes. Even though Sonoko is from a good family, shes not the smartest girl and has to work hard for things like exams and discover whats her dream. While Wataru is by himself hes not able to go and achieve his dream he has and works hard just to live. Later on Shinji easily becomes my favorite character. I like that later on in the drama theirs really no character that you despise. Its just seeing them grow and grow towards graduation. The title Hakusen Nagashi plays a role in the final episode.

Acting/Cast: I only knew Nagase Tomoya and some of the older actors but other than that this cast was new to me. Nagase was good in this role and I found Sakai(Sonoko) and Nakamura (Shinji) being good at theirs as well. Nagase was around 18 when this drama was filmed and I haven't seen a young Nagase in a drama/movie because most of his popular dramas are when hes a bit older.

Music: Music was excellent. It gives you that old classic 90s vibe to the drama. The music from spitz is awesome and they even used a different song by them in the last episode.

Re watch/ Final thoughts: I would highly re watch this drama. Its a good classic that will cheer me up when I'm in the mood for something old. I know that there are 5 specials made after this drama aired. I'm writing this review before watching them and hopefully those specials are as good as the drama was. If they end up making me feel upset of what they did to these characters after graduation, I can always look back at the drama and the wonderful positive ending it was. I'm a bit tempted to not watch the specials because they might ruin things but excited to see how everyone does later on. So after all Hakusen Nagashi is a drama you want to watch. If you like a drama about school, life, friends, and drama then this is the one to watch.

Story: There are sides the Sun Mansion and the Roc King, I thought they were going at war and this is what the drama was about but it was mixed in not quite the main plot. The drama has more of everything in it instead of one main focus. Our main hero Meng grew up with three brothers and a so called "sister" as they are older now they repay her by assassinating people she assigns them to assassinate. Men is closest to Ye Xiang his best friend/brother. The task that's assigned to him and Ye Xiang is to kill Master Yubo and this lasts throughout the show. One problem I had with the plot was how rushed they ended the conflict between Sun Mansion and Roc King. There are dramas where they get around 40-60 episodes and I think this one should have gotten more episodes based on how they rush the ending to the conflict between Sun Mansion and Roc King. Also throughout the drama was who is the father of Xiao Die's baby. I thought it was great how Die was suffering around her from her family betraying her and being bullied by Lu Xiangchuan which made me cheer for someone to save her from this mess. I wished more of the fight scenes weren't always in the dark.

Characters/Cast: My favorite character was of course the main hero Meng Xinghun. He fits most of the traits that I want from a hero. He doesn't start out weak and learning through out the series to become stronger, he is already skilled in his martial arts. He's a very skilled fighter, clever, serious look, wise, and caring. I enjoyed seeing him and Die along with baby together. I love it when a guy has to fight to protect his wife and baby. I thought Ye Xiang was kinda cool for a while but faded afterwards when Meng became more of the main guy of the drama to which I was confused who was the main character of this drama. I have no problems of Die and Master Yubo. Characters I dislike were Boss Gao (their "sister"), Lu Xiangchuan, and their other brother who was a prick.

Music: I liked the opening song more than the ending. There were some good background music for the moments with sadness but nothing that stand out to me.

Re watch: The drama is only 30 episodes which is short for a wu xia Chinese drama and I could easily watch this again.

Overall: This drama exceeded my expectations and its one of my favorite chinese dramas now maybe my favorite. I just wished this drama had more episodes 30 was too short. I think more people should watch this drama and you can find it on youtube.

Story: For the first 3 to 4 episodes I it moved along very well. It was like two different halfs of this drama mainly because of our main character Sakuto was two different versions of him. I loved Sakuto in the first half of this drama, he had a child mind while he was still an adult. Even though he was still like a child, he had a big heart and was sweet. Sakuto wants to become smart like everyone else but the way he becomes smart is just wrong. Sakuto taking the surgery and becoming a new person and also having new "friends", was not what I would enjoyed. I feel that he took the easy way out, I would have prefer the whole drama be progressed of Sakuto becoming smarter each episode but there was a benefit of he becoming a genius even though I didn't care at all for that person. It also doesn't help that your two main characters Sakuto and Haruka become jerks later on.

I wish they stuck to one major genre for awhile because the genres of this drama didn't make me feel anything. I think they should have capitalize on friendship for the majority of the drama. I really thought romance wasn't needed in this drama but they had to put it even though I didn't feel for it. All that science/medical stuffs damages this drama. I would have just gone with drama, friendship, life, and family. Sakuto works at a flower shop and whenever he delivers flowers he could have interacted more from these people who are ordering these flowers. He could have solve some of their problems show what a flower really means or learn from them. The employees which are all men who are mostly e x convicts, Sakuto could have used his childishness mind to change them somehow. He could have developed good friendship with most of them but nope they don't grow at all. I wanted to see Sakuto grow little by little so he could show his family that he has become smarter and not a child still instead they liked him better as a genius but from now on he can't see them again because he is back to the old Sakuto.

Then that ending kind of made me finished with a smile seeing how we are back to where we started with Sakuto back having a child mind but he works somewhere else. I would have felt so much happier that Sakuto ends up with his two best friends if they made them the main focus.

Acting/Cast: Yamapi is one of my favorite actors but this drama was not one I was highly anticipated of and I was right. Yamapi was brilliant as Sakuto with a child mind because it wasn't the normal Yamapi acting, it reminded me of his Nobuta Wo Produce acting. The sad part is that when Sakuto turns into a genius, Yamapi's wonderful acting disappears back to normal Yamapi. I say the first half of this drama Yamapi was the best actor but the second half will go to Kubota Masataka. I like Kubota's character because he actually changes from the beginning to the end. Everyone else felt just bland.

Overall: I liked the first half of this drama. I just want to pretend that the second half of this drama never existed. At least Yamapi played a different character than his other roles for awhile. Other than that there's not much positive things I can say about this drama.

So I was looking at the tv ratings for the spring of 2019 for Japanese Dramas and saw Radiation House delivering and thought What is this drama about. I waited for all episodes to be subbed and watched them right after it was done airing and I must say it was worth the watch because I really loved it.

Story: Some details that aren't mention on here about this drama is that Igarashi and Amakasu were childhood friends. Igarashi moves away but Amakasu promises that Igarashi should become a radiographer while she becomes a radiologist so they can would work together in the future. Igarashi meets Amakasu at the hospital but she doesn't remember him. Throughout the whole drama Igarashi tries to get Amakasu to remember him. Igarashi works with a radiography team that takes images of a human's body. I really love that the main characters of this drama weren't doctors instead it was radiographers. The drama shows that there aren't just doctors in the hospital but there are also radiographers and radiologists that don't get a lot of the credit as doctors do. There is a surprise about Igarashi. There are some "romance" moments in this drama and its teased a lot.

Acting/Cast: This is my first drama watching Kubota Masataka in it and his acting of Igarashi was top notch. Honda Tsubasa's acting has improved quite a bit since the last drama I have seen her in. Endo Kenichi and Asano Kazuyuki were two good supporting actors that had me laughing throughout the drama.

Music: The drama song was called "Remember me" by Man with a mission and its a very good song. It fits the drama very well because Igarashi wants Amakasu to remember him.

Final Thoughts: I can't wait to watch the special. All I know is that this drama needs a second season. Unless the drama special continues where this one ends off then maybe not. Either way I would love if this drama gets a second season. More cases of images to take and the development of Igarashi and Amakasu. I wouldn't mind if this drama got up to 3 seasons like Code Blue. To me this is the best Japanese medical drama. It feels different because of how the doctors/nurses aren't the main role but someone new is. I also think this is the best drama of 2019 as well.

When I first saw this drama I thought to myself that I didn't want to watch about people becoming pilots and learn all that. I watched the drama "Good Luck" a couple of months ago and that drama is about being a pilot as well which I enjoyed that drama. I saw that Horikita Maki was in this drama and she is one of my favorite actors so I had to watch it.
I say the drama focuses more on Haru than the rest of the other memebrs who are all training to become a pilot. I really like the idea of there being a team of people who want to become a pilot and having to work together through the training even though at the end they wouldn't be a team anymore. As I was watching I was really cheering on for all of them to pass each tests to becoming a pilot. I'm really glad that Haru didn't end up with Konosuke even though there were hints at them being together in the drama. This drama certainly didn't need romance in it.

My favorite character has to be Haru. She is the less skillful at becoming a pilot but she still is determined to become one even with the help of her teammates. My favorite parts are where the guys are helping Haru out before her final tests. I have a problem with all of the other characters. First is Chisato, it really surprised me that she failed halfway and had to leave. I totally thought they all 6 of them would become pilots together but Chisato was the one who failed. After she fails the test, she doesn't make much of a impact anymore. All she does after this is well have a love interest in Konosuke and is more of a cheerleader now. For the other 4 guys apart of the team Yamada, Moroboshi, Kotori, and Kishii they didn't stand out as much. Kotori kinda gets a episode that focuses about him but after that all 4 of them get little to none development. I really wished they would of gotten each a episode that focuses on one of them each.

The ending song in the drama was definitely not my favorite. The song was bad as it didn't make much of an impact to the drama.

Overall I thought it was a good drama. Its definitely a inspirational drama.

Itoshi Kimi e review

I’m a fan of these types of dramas where the main character is sick and they still find love with someone. I enjoy these type of dramas more when the male mc is sick and the female mc loves/supports them then the other way around but I do love both kinds. It creates a beautiful love story.

Story- I loved how these two met. That first episode made me cry. The sickness is a little bit different because the main character is losing his eyesight. I found it interesting that Azumi was a photographer which he needed his eyes for. I loved the kids at the hospital where Shiki was taking care of them. The family in this drama is another nice thing to watch from Shiki’s family and Azumi’s. I agree with many people who have seen it that the last scene of the drama is a beauty.

Actors/Characters - Kanno Miho as Shiki was my favorite character in the drama. The one reason I just loved her was how she cared for anyone whether it’s her friends, patients, family, or it was Azumi. She would do as much as she could to support Azumi because she loved him so much. I have never liked Fujiki Naohito but lately I’ve been seeing him other dramas as supporting roles and I have changed my view on him. Seeing him here as the main character has made me enjoy him more. Shiki’s dad is another enjoyable character he makes you laugh and feel thankful for.

Music - i just thought the music was fine nothing too special. It goes well with the drama. There are some nice soundtracks to go along as well. It doesn’t stand out as much in the drama.

Rewatch value- This was a little new to me. Most of these actors I haven’t seen much before and that’s something I liked. I want to rewatch this drama a lot because I loved seeing Shiki and Azumi together. There are also precious scenes I love too.

I want to say that this one is better than the 2012 remake. I'm not sure if these students were in the manga but I liked them. They were something new and fresh. To me, the 1998 version of Great Teacher Onizuka is the best one but this one is the second best out of all the 3.

Story- I think it was an interesting story about Onizuka returning to the school he graduated from to be a teacher there. I enjoyed learning about Onizuka's past and why he became a teacher. I loved where this new school was located, it felt like a different atmosphere to the drama. There were some students problems I didn't enjoy at all but there were 2 of the student's problems story I did enjoy and that was Taichi and Serizawa. I felt like the episodes at the end were in the wrong order. I would of prefer ep 10 to be the finale instead of ep 11 but with more details. Episode 1 could have been better it should have been something special to start it off.

Cast/Characters- There weren't many memorable characters for this one. Some of the students looked like each other which made it hard to remember who is who. I wished they had the students hang out with Onizuka more often because after he makes them a better person they just fade into the background with no lines. Principal Uchiyamada was brought back for this season and I felt was not needed at all. His story was the same in both previous series which felt boring. Director Sakurai returning for this season was great, her roles as the director and lunch lady didn't bother me, in fact, she was a key role to help Onizuka be the person he once was. Now to Fujikawa sensei played by Higa Manami, she reminded me of a mix of Fuyutsuki sensei in the 1998 and 2012 version. Fujikawa didn't have the passion to teach but in the end became a better teacher. She had a similar story to the 2012 Fuyutsuki as well. But Fujikawa had something later on that tied her with Onizuka. To me, I would prefer a different actor to play this role.

Music- In this season they had this wonderful music playing in the background. It's hard to find online but its called "A calling". It just reminded me of the one in the 1998 GTO. The ending song is ok I guess.

Rewatch?- I would rewatch this one more because it's new and fresh. It was better than trying to remake something that was already perfect. New characters, some old characters, and Onizuka's past make this one interesting.

Overall- Looking back at this one I felt that Onizuka was different than usual but in a good way. At least The new students were better than watching my favorite students in the 1998 version be watered down in the 2012 version.

When I saw this drama I just thought it was an ordinary school drama nothing that special. After watching it, it became favorite drama of mine. This drama showed me why Hayami Mokomichi is a great actor (I saw first in “Gokusen 2” than in “From 5 to 9” than found a drama where he is the main role)

The story of each episode is very good. Students have problems and the teacher is there to help them. In Hammer Session I love that their is no fighting instead Hachisuka shows the students a “Hammer Session” and the Hammer Sessions are so cool to watch. I love his teaching, I wish more teachers could be like him. It felt realistic that you could connect with the student and their situation. The comedy in this is so funny and right on point mix with the drama.

Hayami Mokomichi played the role fantastic for both characters. Kaede she was annoying a lot. Assistant teacher was fine, the principal was alright, and Otowa’s partner was so funny he made me laugh a lot. I recognize some of the actors playing the students.

There is only one song which is at the end of the drama and it fits along with the drama. If you watch closely and listen there is a wonderful ost that replays for each episode and makes you feel better. Its one of the best osts I have heard. Its also on youtube.

I will rewatch this one plenty of times. I know this type of drama is the same as others but I wish some of these school dramas are made still. I really would like to see some actors that use to be the student in a school drama than be a teacher in a new drama.

The Vigilantes in Masks was my First ever Chinese Drama I watched and I got to say I'm glad I choose it to be my first one.

Story: The story is very good and simple. 4 heroes( 3 guys and 1 girl) help the poor people and their problems caused by high class rank people . This type of plot where the main actors are the good and have to fight evil will always be a favorite. I loved how each character was different so you could tell who is who and they all stand out. It was so hard to pick which one you loved the best but I just loved all 4 of them. Lots of challenges for them to overcome especially for Li Ge Xiao . 

Acting/Cast: I think the choices for each role was well done. I don't think anyone else would have made the drama better than this cast. I love the chemistry between Wallace Huo and Liu ShiShi.  Xing Yu as Chai Hu was just wonderful to watch his comedy mixed with his fighting was fun.

Music: I don't think its well known but the music is not a problem. The opening is good, it gives you a good feeling to get ready to kick ass. The ending song is much different more of a soft tone, quiet, or sad/love song. In the end I liked the music in this drama.

Rewatch Value: 30 episodes seems about right if the drama is gonna be long. I would love to watch it all over again.

Overall: If your new to Chinese dramas, then I suggest this to be your first one to watch. I really think more people should watch it.

I love the Once Upon A Time In China series but this one was just a mess. Tsui Hark  did return as the director to this movie but man this was not that good. Vincent Zhao is an underrated martial arts actor but they didn't use him for that here. Most of the time they just used guns to shoot each other and not martial arts but there is just too much guns in a martial arts film I didn't like that at all.

The story is kind of hard to understand. Its mostly Wong Fei Hung and his 4 students have to save the town from pirates.

The Cast looked good but wasn't used to its potential. I'm sure they could of thought of a different plot to do with this movie. The romance between Vincent Zhao and Rosamund Kwan has no chemistry. When your main actor Jet Li leaves the series and you continue it with a different actor that is a tough job. Vincent Zhao did fill in with the fight scenes but him to fill in for the romance part just didn't work out at all.

The Music was missing. The intros in the series are always good but in here it wasn't. It is Wong teaching his students martial arts but with a weird instrumental music. They barely used the Wong Fei Hung theme. The only good music in here was that they used the Jackie Chan version of singing the Once Upon A Time In China song at the end.

Re-watch: I don't recommend to rewatch it but sometimes I do for the laughter.

I was very happy that they brought back Jet Li to portray as Wong Fei Hung again. Once upon a time in china and America is the last installment in the Once upon a time in china series. Movies like this back then were really good they had like  anything you would want in a movie. Drama, Martial Arts, Historical, Action, Comedy, and Romance. Its better than those fantasy drams and movies. The Martial Arts in the movies make it look more fun to watch and more competitive. It was a great movie to end the series and much better writing in this one than the previous 2.
The Acting was decent not a lot of popular actors but if you have Jet Li in it the movie will be good. The american actors were also surprisingly good. Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan have wonderful chemistry together.

In this movie the story has a much better plot to understand why they traveled to America. There is like 2 problems in the movie one in the beginning and another one in the end so its not just about Wong Fei Hung and his memory loss.

The Music in this movie  made me very surprised. While Jet Li was still portraying as Wong Fei Hung in the first 3 films the music in those films were the best. What surprised me was that the music they used in here was just instrumental. Usually they have a singer for their intro but they decided to go with instrumental music and it still sounded cool. Whenever Wong Fei Hung Fights he always has this bad ass music that fires him up.

Re-watch well I always love to re-watch my favorite movie series. Every time I watch them I always find something new each time. I recommend to re-watch this more and more.

This is probably the last super Sentai that was great. I'd still recommend this show if you haven't seen other super sentai series but maybe watch other series first so you'll understand. The plot is simple to understand 5 pirates and later one human from earth want to get the greates treasure in the universe. During their journey they achieve a super sentai power. The Villians aren't that tough until later where a certain rival makes it more tougher.

I love all of the main heros in the show nothing wrong with them they just match each personality. Gokaiger is my favorite super sentai ever is because of their leader Marvelous. I love each characters background stories.

Their OST is phenomenal love it. The opening is really catchy.
I have watch this show 3 times already and still want to watch it again.
