Yasuko to Kenji

This series was not only hilarious, it was moving as well. Going from deep and poignant emotion to wacky physical comedy and covering many core life issues in between. How perfect is a series when you have Yagi Yuki and Mikako Tabe playing the same role at different ages? About as perfect as it gets. In fact, this is such a strong cast, filled with many fine actors, that I can't pick out a week link. It all comes down to purity, for me. A purity of spirit, with some of these Japanese television shows. A strong core. Good values. Solid emotional content and a good heart. Skilled, committed actors, who are able to transcend the limitations of their budget and create a very watchable Comedy/Drama. I highly recommend this show.
