Shimokita GLORY DAYS

Granted that watching anime, South Park and playing Persona 3 isn't enough, I started randomly choosing drama to watch. Since Uramiya Honpo is ongoing (I seldom watch ongoing drama), I choose another Tv Toyko production that Uramiya Honpo preceded over on the same slot (meaning a 20++ mins feature that slated for adults late at night).

Shimokita Glory Days is also a manga drama. Difference is that it's a harem title. And it's not a Youth or Teens title (Lol!!!) I guess.

Effects are quite good. A comedy involving a caretaker cum student looking after/living with embodiment of sexual fantasies archtype. And boobies. Yes sir. You actually get to see boobies.

I mean what else do you expect?Blatant examples are unnecessary exposure and omake sequences during ending sequences.

Cast wise, other than the lead actor (who isn't especially good looking. Rather ugly but adorably ugly. LoL.) are an ensemble crew of gravure actress or AV actresses.


Ichitarou as Ono Yuta
- Nothing. I refuse to oblige to research on him.
- Alright. He is actually from the Synchro Boy Group (meaning the swimming boys who actually did that for a living.)

Seto Saki as Tajima Minori
- Gravure/swimsuit model
- Tv actress (actually the rest of them had experiences of TV serial roles.)

Mashiko Rie as Muroi Chiho
- Gravure/Bikini Model

Honoka as Nishina Natsume
- AV
- Provides the fanservice/gratuitous nudity

Asami Yuma as Komori Miha
- AV
- Provides the fanservice/gratuitous nudity

Yabuki Haruna as Okazaki Kaori
- Gravure/Bikini Model

Hashimoto Manami as Uehara Mao
- Gravure/Bikini Model

Sugimoto Aya as Enoki Tsuyako
- In anime otaku sense, she is better known as Queen Beryl in Sailormoon Live Action.
- Other than that, she is a versatile actress/idol singer/gravure & photography model.
- Oh and she did nude shots too (lol. Yes I know it's irrelevant)

Aoi Sora as Ichimonji Nozomi
- Sora Aoi is AV actress who also did several gravures and currently acting in other TV shows. Guess a classic case of AV actress turns good. She is winding down on her AV career I guess. She gets to keep her clothes on for this (sniggers)


Because this is considered an "adult" show so kiddos who still are regulated by ma and pa on what they are watching on tv/desktop to keep the volume down and google cast names with care (except Ichitarou. Lol.)
