Shiroi Dakuryu jdorama review

To watch Shiroi Dakuryu, you have to accept that a single man played by Densha can be childhood friends with Sasaki Nozomi, have her come to his house all the time and not even think about making a move on her.

More importantly, Densha is also a researcher while moonlighting as a security guard and tutor and Sasaki Nozomi just started as a journalist while the third wheel friend is Densha's rival researcher.

Episode 1 is basically about how Densha is oblivious to Sasaki Nozomi and how tough a life he has as a researcher as they both find out Nishimura Masahiko's Pharmaceutical company might have sold contaminated products. However, Densha is offered better career path if he looked the other way.

Shiroi Dakuryu reminds me of WOWOW's Pandora series which were parable like stories about inventions or discoveries that started out with the right intentions but ended up being used for evil.

Shiroi Dakuryu is about this pure hearted researcher who gets corrupted as he learns to navigate the politics the research business.

The writing and acting is not very realistic. It feels very parable like similar to Pandora.

If you liked Pandora or are a fan of Densha or Sasaki Nozomi Shiroi Dakuryu might be for you. For everyone else, its meh. The nyaa torrents have Japanese subs with them so its good for reading practice.
