OTAKUTHON WAS SOO MUCH FUN! *_*

Con report will come later with pictures. I'm just very slow and distracted right now.

Very very distracted.

TENIPURI CDRAMA IS SURPRISINGLY GOOD!!!
The storyline explores interesting alternate potentials that the original didn't. It feels like an AU!! ^___^
And despite the actors looking all pretty much the same, they do have a lot of personality, and their interactions are really lively and fun.
True, they aren't exactly "In-Character", but i think they are less stereotypical and more realistic. I really enjoy it! *_*

I really want to do recaps of this thing!! ^0^ But for now, some very interesting points that diverge from original storyline.

- College boys instead of junior high kids! Also, they all live in residence.
- Ryoma is an arrogant bastard. Like REALLY arrogant bastard. No cute Ochibi-ness here!
- Nanjirou is cool, Sumire is YOUNG AND PRETTY, they have sekrit tea-party dates to discuss Ryoma's situation, and speak in tea metaphors~ XD
- Sakuno is somewhat decent, is Sumire's niece, paints, and apparently has a private studio room in the school.
- Tomo and annoying reporter woman are mixed into one annoying-reporter-girl-Tomo. XDXD Full of LOLZ.

FACT: Ryoma is NOT welcome into seishun with open arms. In fact, he's too arrogant for everyone's liking, and struggles to earn himself a place among the regulars.

FACT: Yuuta is still in Seishun, and a regular. BROTHER ISSUES GALORE!!! This is cool because we actually get to SEE how Yuuta felt being in Shuusuke's shadow. He's also very in-character *_*

FACT: Nanjirou confides in Sumire that he sent Ryoma back to Seishun because he wanted his son to learn to work in a team and get along with other people. Because tennis is an individual sport, he didn't Ryoma to become cold and unsociable and knows nothing but tennis. He pleads with Sumire to deflate his son's head and beat him into shape, in essence.
(AAwwwwwww)

FACT: Karupin is tiny kitteh, and teh adorable *-*

FACT: Fish analogies are made. Seishun Regulars are compared to sardines. XDXDXD

That said, I REALLY LIKE IT!!! *___* It's soo interesting and puts a different spin on a story that's been redone like 4 times (manga, anime, myu, cinepuri). This is much better than Cinepuri.! *-*
