As you all may recall some years back I attempted to watch the Riko Narumi / Tsutsui Michitaka Time-Jumping sci-fi drama RETAKE without subtitles, and how, despite many headache-inducing evenings struggling with the plot, I failed miserably at it.
Some good news came to me when NGN Channel announced they were going to air RETAKE, complete with SUBTITLES!
Well! After watching the first episode again with subtitles, I have to say how very, very brave or foolish I was thinking I could watch this show without subs…it was SO dense with complicated dialog and twists that I could barely keep up even WITH the subtitles, LOL!
But it’s been soooo worth it, such an intriguing story, following the “Timecop” style detectives as they track down rogue time travelers to apprehend them before they can muck with the timestream, and as you all know well, I love Riko Narumi…seems I see her playing bit parts more often than not, so it’s great to see her in a nice, juicy role!
