I am not your Watson

It is so wild to me, as an oldie who used to have to depend on fansubbers on locked LJ communities and forums for English subtitles for jdramas, that there are so many jdramas on Netflix now. Kimura Takuya? On an easily accessible streaming site? More likely than I thought! I just hope Japan doesn’t start tailoring their dramas to Netflix’s western audiences now. Like, please don’t start going down the slick and cool route and forsake your earnest and frankly, sometimes kinda cringe, over the top roots! Can you imagine a Netflix version of Tiger and Dragon or Nobuta wo Produce? Actually, please don’t. I’m all for making jdramas widely available to more people. Just don’t mess with the formula too much please.
