Face All - Full Series Discussion

Post by Saejima Kouga »

Fifteen year olds trapped in a virtual world...Shibuya Fifteen.

Ever wondered what a virtual world would be like? How about being stuck in that virtual world? Even worse, what if you can't escape back to the real world?
Tsuyoshi, Ema, and Asagi find themselves in what they think to be a real, yet strange world. All the kids are fifteen, and there's an all knowing eye that watches them waiting for one to become "broken".

Some of you may have been wondering what the eye when you first register is about, right? Check out this show and find out!

I was a little confused by the first episodes...I didnt know what the central story could've been...
plus I was creeped out by "Shouta" being a boy, when he was clearly a girl...
I mainly stayed for Mari from Faiz...but ended up loving the story.

Yeah, it doesn't give it away at the beginning like most hero type shows do. But I feel it did a good job explaining, though the end was kinda sad yet romantic. -Shrug-

It did have moments that made me feel like this was like "The Matrix for Teens!" Because of the whole escaping from a virtual world then finding out how things really were outside of Shibuya.

A bunch of 15 years old knowing nothing but pain. Wrist slitting. Freakishly emo. xD

I wondered if the whole series would be as emo. I continued watching because everyone was like said Sh15uya was really great and that Mari and Kaido was there. Well indeed I was not disappointed. Well, maybe except the fact that Tsuyoshi ended up with Ema because I was rooting for Tsuyoshi x Asagi but oh well, Ema deserved to be happy.

What broke my heart even more was seeing the homeless man letting Asagi die. I was yelling "NOOOO KAIDO LET MARI DIIEEE!!" xD

THAT is who homeless guy was! I couldn't think of where I'd seen Kaido before and it'd been irritating me. I mean I knew Sh15uya was FULL of tokusatsu actors/actresses, but I couldn't place him. Did you see Zoicite and Tachibana?

I love this show. I literally had withdraws when I finished it. Such an ominous feel to it all. It was my first dip into the pool that is the J-Drama. I'm actually due for a re-watch of this.

I'm not familiar with Zoicite's actor since I've only seen 3 or 4 episodes. I didn't notice Tachibana as well because... because... I don't know why I didn't see him. I was told he was some bank dude in the earlier eps though. I guess I only paid attention to 'Oshiete KUdasai!'

Did that bother you, too? It definitely grew on me after awhile. I can't hear those words anymore without thinking of Mark Musashi. :lol:

His "Oshiete Kudasai" was about the most messed up sounding thing he said.

Are you a washed up Kamen Rider? Then join the Sh15uya team!

Off the top of my head:
Face 1: Shinji from Ryuki
Face 2-3: Tachibana from Blade
Face ? : Yui from Ryuki
Face ? : A cop from Kuuga
more?

Plus the regulars Mari and Kaido from Faiz, Mark Musashi from a bunch of other stuff

You mean... this eye is in fact that eye? Didn't expect this xD

Yeah, I like the series as well. Didn't mind the emo stuff, the story was quite formidable (in fact, great). And Peace... I thought I've seen him somewhere before... Anyway, a cool guy :) Especially the original (where there were two)...

This is what Matrix should have been :)
