#Anata no Ban desu

[craziestjdramalover]

Do you want to kill someone? Basically, when someone is murdered the police always assumes that the killer is related to the victim.

That's why, a popular trope was discovered where Let's say A kills the person B wants to kill and B kills the person A wants to kill. As the victim and murderer are unrelated so it becomes hard to identify the real culprit.

Anata no Ban Desu or Its Your Turn takes this trope to the next level.

The story follows Nana and Shota. A newly married couple who just shifted to a new house.

As Nana is 15 years older than Shota, she feels a bit weird when people criticise them for their age difference. However, this doesn't stop her from loving Shota unconditionally .

When she attended the first association meeting, the residents played a game. They wrote the name of the people they want to kill and then shuffled the chits.

It was a harmless game until...... people whose name were written started to die one by one.

I started watching this drama because of Tanaka Kei (actor who plays Shota).

Surprisingly, his character was really irritating at first (at least for me 🤣)

The makers tried to show Nana as the mature one but in this process Shota became a man child. However.... as the show progresses , it becomes clear that Shota is in fact not a man child.

He is strong and opinionated. As far as Nana, she is kind of the MC of this show. We follow the story through her pov. I can't discuss much about her characters without spoilers. But, all I have to say is that she is a smart and strong MC.

Highlight of the show is Shota and Nana's relation. They go through all ups and downs together.

Now let's get to the main point. The game.

Each and every character is crazy and has been pushed to their limits.

The side characters of this show are really awesome too.

Fuiji was the one who stood out to me most. He serves mostly as a comedic relief but has some dark moments too. He can be pretty creepy.

Then there's Mikiha ... everything about her screams danger. Kinoshita is a suspicious neighbour.

Sanae is a too good to be true neighbour. Jun is just there. There's also a Yakuza couple. Mr. Ukita... Akaike family and Sano.

One thing I have to say about Sano is that he is handsome (his actor I mean). And the drama reminds us of this every second. Whenever anyone talks about Sano they always start like.."He has a handsome face but.."

I doubted each and every one of the characters including Nana and Shota. The first 2 eps were a bit low but then the show picked its pace.

The final moments of the final episode were mindblowing. Never had I ever thought that the story would go on this direction.

This final episode sets up a long desired sequel. If it was ongoing then I would have lost my mind waiting for the 2nd season. Luckily for us, the 2nd season is already out and is known as "Anata no Ban Desu Counterattack. "

Ratings : 9.5/10

《あなたの番です》 (2019)

This opening ↓ in Episode 1…I believe it's done in tribute to the openings of 《古畑任三郎》 (Furuhata Ninzaburō), another favourite Japanese murder mystery series of mine.

🥰 he showed up 🥰

[morela2016]

Entre las series de años pasados que estoy viendo está Anata no Ban Desu. He termindo la 1era parte(10 cap) y el Sp.

Y......que decir?!! Me ha gustado en general aún cuando por pocas excepciones, los personajes me caen mal. El misterio se ha desarrollado de una forma entretenida, el cap 9 y 10 me mantuvieron expectante y la pareja prota me termino agradando bastante.

Justo por lo último mencionado es que estoy molesta con ese final de ¿temporada o parte? La verdad se me fue las ganas de seguirla, ademas siento que se cambia el tono de la serie y con razón. Tambien se introduce un nuevo personaje y de alguna manera extraña esto me ha generado la sensación como si estuviera iniciando otra serie pero con elementos conocidos.

Estoy disconforme con lo del personaje de Nana... será por lo inesperado o el riesgo de que ya no me agrade la dinamica de los episodios o simplemente me da pena el personaje de Shota 🤷 pero aún asi pienso seguirla cuando se me haya pasado el disgusto, pues después de todo me gusta el misterio y he leido buenas cosas de esta segunda parte....capaz logra gustarme más que la 1 era parte pero eso será despues de un tiempo.

Por ahora terminaré mis pendientes: BOSS, Galileo, M.Brain, Seirei no Moribito además de empezar Giver taker y Revenant (kdrama) a ver si después retomo anata no ban desu.

[afternoonblues]

so i finally got around to watch the movie version of your turn to kill (anata no ban desu) & even though i’ve watched the drama version too....my dumbass instead to just simply checking the mdl decided to keep knocking on my brain trying to find out where have i seen the guy who plays the role of criminal detective “kamiya”....like his face was just provoking my brain to keep on searching for where have i seen him....

(this is from your turn to kill: movie that i watched yesterday)

2 HOURS LATER...BOOM i realized AH! HE’S THE CAT GUY FROM CHERRY MAHO WHO IS ADACHI’S BEST FRIEND AKA TSUGE!

although the realization came at the wrong time bc i was in the room with my mother and I HAD TO STOP MYSELF FROM LAUGHING bc what the absolute heck! the range of this man aka named asaka kodai....the fact that both your turn to kill and cherry maho was like only few months apart and HE PLAYED THESE TWO OPPOSITE ROLES so well? good god.

[idleminds]

I finished watching Anata no Ban Desu.

Have you watched it? What's your opinion about this series?

Nope, I haven’t and don’t plan to. But I did watch Shinhannin Flag, a similar drama from the same writer, and I honestly wasn’t a fan. 😅

久しぶり! It's been a long time since I've written one of these.

I've taken quite a long break from both immersion and blogging, but I think based on my effort from August, I'm finally rested enough to start again.

So, let's dive right into it!

First off, what was I up to in the time I was away? It's honestly going to be a bit of a weird overview this time around, since I'm compiling six months worth of kinda immersing, but I feel its only right to also show my struggles with learning a language. I also pursued some things in real life such as opening a new business that I have been putting more focus on. It's a small venture, but I believe it has potential to be better, so please keep me in your prayers.

All graph images are from a Discord bot that I use to track my immersion for points in a language learning server called The Moe Way. Please feel free to join!

MARCH

February was a great month for me. I read and listened far more than I had ever before and I was and still am very proud of my effort. I think because I was about to hit my two year immersion mark, so I was pushing myself to the limit everyday.

I am quite the competitive person for things I truly desire, and so of course I wanted to beat my previous record. Unfortunately around my birthday in March, I came into a very rough patch which left me really questioning what it is I truly desired to achieve with my whole pursuit of Japanese. It didn't seem like the two whole years of dedication I've had (and the several other years I've tried to get past the beginner stage) for this language would come to fruition soon and if at all. This started my relapse into depression and my descent to, and I'm really sad to say, hopelessness.

Now at this stage I was still immersing quite a bit, but not as much as I had hoped. I still immersed everyday, but with varying consistency levels. I was also very much struggling to stick to one reading material at a time, not because they are disinteresting, but because I was losing my motivation, albeit slowly. By the time the month ended, I didn't even feel like it was worth talking about on my blog anymore, which was not the correct response obviously, but it was my reality and I had to deal with it in some way.

Reading material: Sakura no Uta, Stardew Valley (in Japanese), Steins; Gate, Summer Pockets

Listening material: Youtube, American Life Podcast, Hiikibiiki, Anata no Ban Desu, JP News

APRIL

I didn't give up just yet. With every new month, I always saw a sliver of hope and a chance to try again. The burnout was cruel though, and all my energy tapered off halfway through the month. This still wasn't a bad effort. If anything it looked like my minimum immersion amount when I was just starting, so looking at it now, I can at least still give myself a pat on the back for trying. I also hung out a lot in Discord voice chat and joined immersion streams a lot more so I didn't feel as if I quit entirely.

Reading Material: Fate/Stay Night, Umibe no Kafuka

Listening Material: Youtube, CardCaptor Sakura

MAY

May was my whitenoise era. I talked to my Discord friends a lot, tried every possible thing I could if I found the energy for it, but ultimately was just not in the mood for Japanese, and even if I was, I could not understand anything to save my life which felt like how it was when I was at the height of my depression for every language I knew. The disappointment I felt in myself was unreal and I'm glad I at least had some friends who understood my struggles.

Reading Materials: Shingeki no Kyoujin, Fate/Stay Night, Umibe no Kafuka

Listening Materials: 1 Litre no Namida, CardCaptor Sakura, 100 Man no Onnatachi

JUNE

I don't even have a graph for this month. I mostly just hung around with friends whenever they streamed. I was so excited by a bunch of new reading material, but I was in whitenoise hell and couldn't even enjoy them.

Reading Materials: SpyxFamily, Hakuoki, Fate/Stay Night

Listening Materials: 461 Ko on Obentou, Youtube, Hajimete no Atsukai, Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2 dubs

JULY

Once again, don't have a graph. The worst month of my language learning journey. I swear I have given more effort to studying with textbooks than whatever happened this month. Did however try reading out loud on stream again, and just had fun laughing at my silly pronounciation mistakes with a friend.

Reading Material: Ohayou Ibarahime

Roudoku Material: Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino

AUGUST

And so we finally arrive to August. I felt so much shame and disappointment, nearing my 2.5 year mark without much to show that I tried really hard to correct it with some success! Again, of course it could be better, but with the help and encouragement of friends, at least I'm trying again.

I read 105,126 characters of Fate/Stay Night on the 10th of August and that gave me so much hope that not all was lost. I also crossed the 1M character mark on it which is a really good milestone to reach after struggling for so long. I may still have tripped this month, but it was still way better than the month previous.

Reading Materials: Fate Stay/Night, Sakura no Uta, Shingeki no Kyoujin, Stardew Valley

Listening Material: Porco Rosso

Moral of the Story?

Burnout is real. Depression and anxiety are the worst. Take care of your mental health. Learn when to take breaks and when to distance yourself from things that make you feel bad about your progress.

Find people who you can trust and rely on. Find new hobbies! Pursue new goals! Don't quit and never stop trying.

I love this language. I may have struggled, but I am stronger for it. One day, I'll find my footing again, but for now, just knowing that I have come so far and that I can still have fun and improve this skill is more than enough.

Thanks for reading, and I hope that you who waited for me and took the time to read are doing well. ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ✧
