In school now!!! Lagging at School comp lab. Cannot waste time doing nothing so here I am!! I still left with 25% of my mosaic work but I did not bring it to school to do it. Need to hand in tomorrow. Run midnight oil tonight for sure.



Okay okay, recommendation, recommendation!!!
Absolute Boyfriend (絶対彼氏 Zettai Kareshi)



A Japanese drama now watching on local TV at Friday night! It is a mixture of sci-fiction, comedy and romance drama. It's about a woman getting a robot boyfriend, designed to be her ideal boyfriend, for a free trial. People who are looking for something nice to watch and things to kill time, here it is!


Soshi, Riiko and Night.


I have watched it before online a few month ago (not sure when but certainly less than a year and after watching Cyborg She, a movie). I even read the manga too. But as the local TV is showing the drama, I decided to re-watch it again. Of course, re-watching it online, I can't stand the slow pace the TV is showing. 2 eps per week when you can finish it in 2 days. (Total- 11 episodes.)


Going out on their last date. Riiko does not know about Night's condition.


But what's different this time is that a special episode (about a movie length) of Absolute Boyfriend is released (March 2009), about one year after the drama was out. It means that it wasn't out when I was watching it for one first time.

I was already crying when I was watching the drama ending (even though that the second time I watched), I was even crying harder when I was watching the special episode (first time watching).


Gaku Namikiri, the creator of Nightly-Series 01. In short, he created Night. This is shown in the special episode. This drama is damn comedic.


Okay, spoiler ahead.. If you are watching or going to watch, please don't let me spoil you. =)

It was sad when Night, the robot was going to "die" because he started to develop human ego which overworked his system and started to overheat. But in that special episode, I was not really keen of seeing Night revived. You know, he was a robot after all. =/ But of course, he was revived. But when he asked to have himself completely destroyed because he knew that he cannot give the girl in person normal happiness and he loved her so much to the point that it hurts (as a robot, you must imagine). And the reason why he was here in this world was to love her (designed to be her ideal boyfriend) so he asked his creator to have him destroy completely so that he cannot be revived again. Whoa, at that part, it was so sad. He was like a human in a robot body. He really cried in the end when departing with that girl. Not the kind of 'crying' he cried in the drama but really, really shed tears (once again, he is a robot, he can't shed tear in the first place).
