Picture this: a tough gangster, the most feared in the country and who's expected to take over as "boss", pretends that he's only 17 years old and goes back to high school to get his diploma. Tough call. Oh man, it's a riot, right from the start. Makio, the Yakuza heir-apparent, messed up a potentially lucrative deal simply because he's a little "slow," he had trouble with simple arithmetic. He can't even write his name properly. Crazy. And so the Yakuza's top boss, Marlon Brando's counterpart in the Godfather, threatened to by-pass him for the position unless he gets his high school diploma.
Yap, I've been watching episodes of the Japanese comedy drama, My Boss, My Hero which I download from Veoh. Feels like watching anime, with lots of crazy sub-plots. I like the fight scenes as well- fast, furious, kung fu- like - it's not the Asero-type at all, you know, post-production explosions and lots and lots of slow-mo crap.
I'll try to watch the entire season. It's a pleasant, funny ride so far. I watched the third episode without subtitles *triple gasp!* hello?... I had to guess what it was all about but I think I managed to get the gist.
