Ah, summer J-dramas. I always come back to you, no matter how long the flirtation with other media is.
First up, Arakawa picspam. I can't really explain it. The manga/anime is so weird and the characters - well it's got this space alien/outsider POV/crazy cosplay/bizarre children's television program vibe about it.
Short version: the heir to a company falls into debt to a odd girl who saves him from drowning. When he asks her what she wants as a reward, she tells him to come live with her underneath a bridge. HIJINKS ENSUE.
It's a very short drama - it's barely half an hour long, so you can zip through it pretty quickly. It's a delightfully deadpan/punny jewel of a show, and I only hope it gets even better. The world of Arakawa seems so fascinating to me already.
Oh, obviously - SPOILERS for the first episode of Arakawa after the cut
( like the little mermaid on acid and what the cast of Original Hana Kimi have been up to )
