The new season for the Bloody Monday drama began a week ago with a 1.5 hour special, and it sure was great seeing more Bloody Monday. If you’ve read the 2 season of the manga, the story should be quite different from the manga. Some changes have been made, but I’m not sure if those are really changes, or stuff that has yet to pop up in the manga, considering the pace the drama is going. I’m pretty sure the producers of the drama have decided to just surpass the manga and write an original storyline. I’m not too sure if that’s good, but the first episode was pretty decent so far. It just needs more hacking and less whining.
Anyway, HP collaborated last season and Falcon was hacking using their laptops. I have the MiniNote that Falcon had at the start of the series, and it’s quite a resilient thing. It still works after being dropped twice, but I had to change the screen because of a crack.
This season, it seems like they’ve called off the deal with HP and decided to go with Apple instead. Seriously, Apple? I’m predicting a slight rise in the population of Apple fanboys, and girls.

I have this habit of fast forwarding, skipping through parts of a show I’m watching. I think it has to do with my short attention span, but it does work wonders. For example, I can watch 2-3 episodes of Japanese drama, each nearly 40-50 minutes long, in just a single hour. I do the same for movies too, so a 90 minute movie can get cut down to 30 minutes.

I’ve finally caught up with Bloody Monday, at least till the latest tankoubon release. Book 8’s going to be out real soon, in probably a week or 2. I think I should really begin reading the weekly chapter releases in Shonen Magazine after completing book 8. Meanwhile, it’s a good thing the drama’s ongoing and the end doesn’t appear anytime soon. This means I’ll still get my continual weekly dosage of hacking and action scenes.
Anyway, I’ve finally understood why I didn’t enjoy the previous episode as much as I should have. I’ve was trying too hard in my comparison between every single thing in the drama and the manga.

As much as I’m in love with the series, I can’t help but frankly admit that episode 4 was the most boring episode as of yet. While the past 3 episodes have been decently on par, if not slightly more interesting than the original manga, this episode was sub-par.
To begin, the action only consisted in the shooting of guns and some scuffling around. This means that hacking was totally absent in this episode. I mentioned before that the main motivation for me to watch this was the hacking. The hacking scenes are precisely why Bloody Monday is one of a kind. If I just wanted fights, guns and mind games, I would just go watch movies such as Infernal Affairs instead.

I stumbled upon the currently airing Bloody Monday Jdorama while surfing the net, and after reading the summary, I knew that I just had to watch it. I only need one reason to justify why I should.
Hacking.
