Caught the show Shinigami no seido starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and I would say it gave me a "nice" feeling after it, you know the type of Jap show that is light and simple.
Hee...I must admit that if it wasn't Takeshi Kaneshiro acting, I would probably not have watched it. But it was a sweet show, with some humour as he responds innocently to questions or figurative speech literally. Heard that the writer (Kotaro Isaka) of the story specifically wanted Takeshi Kaneshiro to act as the Grim Reaper Chiba if it were to be made into a film.
It is called Sweet Rain probably coz whenever Chiba's at work, it is always raining. And it was nice to see how his 1 decision to not proceed with the death of 1 person (think partly because she was to be a singer & he loves music...to him, she has not fulfilled her purpose) leads to many similar decisions. And he decides by judging if a person has fulfilled his/her purpose in this life. The dog was rather cute too.
Some concepts that's different is the reverse way in putting if a person should live. Usually, we say "if a life is worth living" but here, it actually quotes "if a life is worthy of death". Interesting.
Well, wonder if the meaning of the title has some double meaning. Is death really accurate? Or how diligently Death performs the judgement would affect someone's destiny. Most of the time, one never knows the full plan of 1 way or the other. Maybe death is the most sure thing in life - everyone dies eventually.
Some things may not seem special, but they are important...they are part of life.
