Thread is created for future Rookies 'spamming'.... opppsss.... I mean 'discussion'... Below are some info on the drama.... * Title: ルーキーズ * Title (English): ROOKIES * Format: Renzoku * Genre: Sports drama * Broadcast network: TBS * Broadcast period: 2008-Apr-19 to * Air time: Saturday 20:00 According to TBS, this drama will not be confined by the seasonal programming rotation. [It means that, this drama will probably be more than 13 episodes] Synopsis The story revolves around a high school teacher and coach that tries to reform delinquents by having them join the baseball team. - tokyograph Professor Kawato is the new japanese teacher in the ill-famed Futagotamaga high shool, Kawato has a bad stain on his teaching record. Unknown to his new class of juvenile delinquents, Kawatou resigned from his last teaching role after almost killing one of his former students! Kawato soon takes over as advisor of the baseball club which is made upof thugs and bullies who have been suspended for a year from all school competitions for causing a brawl during an official match. Now that the supension is over, the only club's members left are interested only in women, smoking and doing nothing until, under professor Kawato guidance, they discover a new dream called Koshien. The road to Koshien is far from easy, as they have to get back in shape, to learn how to play baseball and to win everyone else mistrust, including the principal's and other professor's one, with only a few months available. Sweating and fighting, the baseball club will find his determination and strenght, as they proceed towards their dreams, while Kawato's enthusiastic and non-conventional ways slowly change the attitude of everyone near them. - mangahelpers Related news TBS unveils "ROOKIES" adaptation in new Saturday drama slot Wed, January 30, 2008 (3:35pm EST) Last month, TBS announced that its Saturday 8:00pm time slot, which has long been reserved for variety shows, will be changing into a drama slot this spring. The network has now revealed that the first series in that block will be an adaptation of Masanori Morita's shonen manga "ROOKIES." The story revolves around a high school teacher and coach that tries to reform delinquents by having them join the baseball team. The show will star Ryuta Sato as the coach, Koichi Kawato. He was reportedly chosen for the role by Morita himself. The baseball team members include Hayato Ichihara, Keisuke Koide, and Yu Shirota. Filming begins in early March, and the series begins airing in April. Unlike most dramas, however, TBS says that "ROOKIES" will not be confined by the seasonal programming rotation. The number of episodes has not yet been decided, but planner Akihiko Ishimaru stated that theyare aiming to cover all 24 volumes of the original manga. TBS is also collaborating with Yahoo! Japan to decide who willplay the female lead, the team manager. Starting on February 18, the websites for both companies will allow public voting to determine which of the audition entrants gets the role. (Source: Sankei Sports)

Posts: 467 Group: Admin Member #98 Joined: Jan 17, 2008	I love Rookies. Working on this project makes me more proud of it too but too bad ppl dont seems to be enjoying or discussing this drama much compare to other Spring season drama like Gokusen 3 or Last Friends. I actually 'google'd about Rookies yesterday to find out whether this drama is being discussed else where but to my disappointment, I can barely find much on it. Every episodes are so meaningful and with Kawato's efforts and his funny action makes it more enjoyable. Each cast is very much suited to their character. Aniya relationship with Yagi is so lovely... And most of all, I just can enough of the ending song. Played it thousand of times and I still enjoy every minute of it....

I must admit my original reason for watching this series was to see Sato Ryuta again. But after watching the first episodes, I've grown to love the other characters as well. This series teaches you a lot about life without the preachy tone of Gokusen...okay, maybe not as preachy as gokusen Maybe if there are more eyecandy here, then more people wil watch it

Posts: 467 Group: Admin Member #98 Joined: Jan 17, 2008	Well, the decision to sub Rookies is all by pure chance. I think, Triplez and I discussed about which drama to sub for spring season and at the time almost all the famous ones were taken already, so he just decided to go ahead with Rookies. Boy, it's all worth it.... It's not like tht Rookies doesnt have any eyecandy, it's just tht it has a different type of eyecandy compare to Gokusen . Meh, well its their lost if they give this drama a miss. Just hope tht more ppl would watch this drama and join in with the discussion. ------------- Kiseki PV subbed by SkewedS & TLS [credits to zeldAIS] HERE Edited by darynrose, Jun 19 2008, 02:23 PM.

wanderlust extraordinaire Posts: 133 Group: Staff Member #332 Joined: Apr 23, 2008	I read in asianfanatics that Rookies will be having an SP ... and a movie!!! Sato and the team will reprise their roles in this series. The movie, with a working title "ROOKIES~FINAL~", will continue where the series left off. This movie is scheduled to be shown next spring. The SP, on the other hand, will be shown this fall. Edited by yobebi, Jul 27 2008, 05:38 PM.

Posts: 2 Group: Member Member #463 Joined: Jul 14, 2008	I was very excited when I found out that they were going to make a live action ROOKIES but extra bonus when you guys pick up the series to sub even by pure chance. I read the manga and really like it, it peachy but not over bearing. ROOKIES deserves more discussion than what it deserves now, but I'm kind of glad because of fangirls. Cannot wait for the SP in the fall and movie next year.
