Hagetaka: Episode 1 Recap

As you may recall, I was obsessing about the Hagetaka J-drama awhile back. Well, I'm still obsessed and still have Hagetaka plot bunnies eating my brain, so I thought I'd post some detailed episode recaps (along with some notes and commentary I made) here partially so I can use them as references, and partly so that people who haven't seen the drama can at least have a summary of the canon story if I ever do get around to writing fanfic.

(I should be posting recaps for Episodes 2 and 3 soon, but still need to re-watch Episodes 4-6. That breaks up nicely, though since there's a timeskip of several years between episodes 3 and 4, and 4-6 cover a separate story arc.)

Hagetaka music video

This is a music fanvid I found on YouTube that's basically an overview of Episode 1 of Hagetaka, set to the Foo Fighters' "Best of You".

Even if you can't find a copy of the actual episode, this at least introduces the main characters and does a good job of capturing the mood of the show.

For those who are interested, the sequence of events/scenes in the video is as follows:
