Synopsis:
     Two years ago, five high-school boys brought fame to a small town in Japan. What was so unique was that they formed a "men's synchronized swimming club." Their involvement and struggles while learning synchronized swimming - known to be a sport for girls - brought much attention to their school and town.

Two years have passed since that summer, and the boys of Tadano High School are still in the club. The Fuji Television drama "Water Boys" shows how these young boys fight to learn synchronized swimming, fall in love, and enjoy friendship with one another.

p.s. spoilers coming up.
     i wanted to watch this cox the movie was a blast, this season's cast was great and then i was disappointed. they dragged the story to make 11eps. i don't really know why that head teacher or something was so against the synchro swimming performing. the answer to their problem, the fans being a nuisance to their town's peace and cleanliness, is right in front of them. i don't know if they're thinking or what? it's a fucking festival for gawd's sake, people WILL really flock to your town/school especially when you have something special to show. isn't it a given that there will be traffic, noise and garbage? and they've had the synchro perf for 2yrs in a row, i'm sure they would have found a solution by then. and the head teacher's reason that he doesn't want the synchro swimming club members to be put down when they realize that in the future, dreams doesn't always happen and regret it for the rest of their lives. are you fucking kidding me? mind your own life, will you? it's just a fucking perf, for one day. and i don't know why they had to practice 24/7. i mean, can't you multitask? like spend your time in the classroom and  2-3 hours before sleeping as studying time, the rest as practice time. i'm sorry for all the rant but i don't really get it at all.
     i got through the entire season cox, well, i like the cast and it's rather funny and i kinda want to know what will happen to their love lives. XD okay, i know it's obvious that Kashii Yu will end up with Eita and Yamada Takayuki will go after his bestie at the end. i just hoped they didn't made it that happy. well, it's a happy drama so that's also expected.
     now i don't know if i'm going to watch season 2. maybe i will but there's no subs. 

My Ratings: i'll give this 2/5 :)

Synopsis:
     It's springtime in Japan and the Tadano High School swim team is barely keeping afloat. When a pretty new coach turns up with the nutty idea of creating a top synchronized swimming team of her own, she has just a few problems to overcome. First, she's teaching at an all-boys school; second, the 5 boys who have committed to the team are all hopelessly bad swimmers; third, she suddenly discovers she's 8 months pregnant and due for maternity leave.

Inspired by their darling coach's dream, the boys bumble through the spring and summer, preparing a routine for Tadano High's festival. They face great adversity: the derision of their fellow students, a swimming pool full of dead fish, the mounting pressures of college entrance exams, and worst of all, their own dismal record of constant failure. Their only encouragement comes from a gaggle of local drag queens and the crazy owner of an aquarium, whose idea of trainin them, is making them polish fish tanks round-the-clock.

When autumn finally rolls around, the boys have not only miraculously perfected a truly unique routine, they've won the respect and participation of a whole crew of new teammates. On the eve of the festival, the performance is threatened by one last catastrophe. Will the Waterboys hard work be wasted, or can they paddle their way to the success and recognition they've worked so hard to win?

     TROLL MOVIE. XD never expected this to be freaking funny. i thought this was a really serious movie, the reason why it got 3 drama seasons. XDDD i wasn't able to enjoy their bodies cox they're waaaaaaay too skinny. except for Tamaki Hiroshi. i was like "who is this guy again? he looks so familiar but i can't remember his name." and then the credits rolled in. Tamaki Hiroshi. ARE YOU SERIOUS? NO FUCKING WAY. he doesn't really look like the Tamaki today and the past 5 years. he's skinny but he's got muscles. the facial structures are different. he looks more like his brother than himself (if ever he has one). what happened to you Tamaki? bring back the old days. 
     and their performance in the end. secondhand embarrassment. XD look at them guys in swimming trunks swinging their hips like that. hahaha. that scene where they went up from the water and wriggled their butts in front of the girls (audience) and Satoshi went nearer his girlfriend and started shaking his skinny shoulder... i think that was sweet. lols.  but yea,  i enjoyed this movie a lot. 

My Ratings: i'll give this 8/10 :)
