Zeni no Senso (2015)

The execution of the story was well done and I was hooked from the very beginning; however, comparing to the other "... no Sensou", this one did not meet with my expectations.

I did like Kusanagi (a lot), he is truly the best when he has a dark role.. it is like he has so many strong emotions inside of him, it makes him cry even while laughing. It is not the first time he does this: there are times where he looks so satisfied that he is taking revenge but with tears running down his cheeks. It makes you wonder of his real motives. I think I cannot see Kusanagi in a "nice" role; I prefer him as the opposite of how he is in real life. He was such a fine actor.. I miss his dramas. I think he was the best actor in SMAP, and one of the best in Johnny's.

I think this Shiraishi was not a real anti-hero as Ichinose was (his role in "Uso no Sensou"). This Shirashi is much softer and kinder and certainly more forgiving. That's why I was let down, but only if I compare to the other drama, which is one of my favorite dramas. I would have preferred if he was more ruthless.. but no, even with the 2 ladies he was soft :(
