(Its a show like "True Calling").

Looks like an interesting premise!

Tru calling anyone?

I always get so confused with Japanese "dramas". I just can't tell if they're aimed at kids or adults. Watching the trailer for this it seriously looks like a kids show but I think this is aimed at Japanese adults?

I'll give it a go for Keiko but I'm not sure how long I'll last.

I love when the age group is uncertain.

Looks neat! I'll probably check it out! Dumb title, though.

This is a late night drama around midnight I believe so it's probably aimed at adults.

When I read Keiko's character is working with corpses I got this creepy image of the mop girl going behind her colleagues and mopping up... ooze, and fluids, and stuff. :grey:

Was just thinking "Only in Japan would a morgue janitor wear pink overalls. Japanese gals have to look cute even when around the dead!"

All she needs is some Hello Kitty straps on the mop and she's set.

Were you expecting her to get a new one?

i Thought the same, but i guess the pink uniform was only for Promo-pics. In the first episode she wears a Blue Uniform. I guess thats the one she will wear for all the 11 or 12 episodes

She had to clean some blood on the street, from a dead thief.

Trailer for Episode 03 is up on the official web site, episode 02 will be available for download in a few hours i guess.

If someone want to watch it... episode 02 is up on d'addicts.

Enjoy and seed.

Just finishing watching the first episode now. Keiko's "upset" facial expressions are kind of annoying. Tone it down a little bit, Keiko.

And it looks like she doesn't actually wear the pink jumpsuit in the show, thankfully.

You do know that all the people on tv are androids with replaceable faces.

dodgerfan · **Posted:** Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:45 pm

I don't know.

It's just tough for me to visualize Keiko pushing a mop around after seeing her as a model and in some of her other acting roles. :roll:

I DO wish her the best here, though.

Just watched the first 2 episodes. Pretty good show. Keiko is hot as ever. I always appreciate good time travel. Wouldn't mind seing a sub or at least a translation of this. I can figure out the basic story but I'm missing a lot of what's going on.

Pretty good quality download too. The 1280x720 looks pretty awesome on my HDTV.

marspeach · **Posted:** Sun Oct 21, 2007 5:55 pm

It would be great if someone subbed it. I loved the second episode, some funny stuff in it.

Sakuya · **Posted:** Sun Oct 21, 2007 8:29 pm

TimelessSub said they'll be subbing this.

But no releases yet.

ultra seven · **Posted:** Sat Oct 27, 2007 11:14 am

Episode 03 RAW, is up on D'addicts.... and trailer for ep 04 is on the oficial website

http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/torrents ... +all&sort=

HD version (1280 x 720) will be up later i supposse

aDam · **Posted:** Sat Oct 27, 2007 4:02 pm

HD version's up now.

aDam · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2007 3:01 am

Next week:

Anyway... I found episode 3 very dialog intensive and therefore very confusing. I'm not sure what was going on there.

Kerochan no Miko · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2007 3:28 am

Keiko in a maid uniform.

Countdown to Kyaa post starts now...

I think she was friends with one of the politicians that tried to kill her? I agree with you though.

i'm getting tired of seeing Keiko pose with that muscleman cutout though.

aDam · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2007 5:46 am

Well it will be a staple of every episode since she always goes back to a point in time where she's looking at it.

marspeach · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2007 3:11 pm

I hate the muscleman thing too! Why the I need a hug would she want to look like that? She already has a hot body. There's no way she could lift those big weights in her room anyway.

Man, my Japanese sucks. I want a show like PGSM where I could understand most of it. This is just too much hard stuff! I love the theme song though. Too bad ERIKA has apparently become a puppy now.

aDam · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2007 4:57 pm

HAha. It doesn't help that this isn't based on a story we're familiar with 2 times over as well...
