Last time, I wrote an article about Hana Yori Dango being secretly promoted on a reality show... and just earlier while watching Eyeshield 21, I saw an advertisement about Hana Yori Dango.
Yes folks, HYD is back on ABS-CBN. Based on the dub, they are using the same dub that was used years ago when it first aired here in the Philippines. Aside from that, HYD has this tagline, "The Original F4 Story" found at the bottom of the name of the show. Will this tagline help attract Boys Over Flower fans and Meteor Garden fans?
Hana Yori Dango airs every Saturday at 8:45am and Sunday at 8:30am on ABS-CBN.
I've been watching Pinoy Big Brother since its first season and I noticed its declining quality, but it didn't stopped me in watching this reality TV show. This week on PBB, I've notice something that caught my attention. They are using footages from the Hana Yori Dango anime for their sort-of house gossip segment thing. There are three things that came into my mind when I saw this. First, gossiping is bad, second, the dubbing is bad considering it is done my amateurs and third, is ABS-CBN secretly promoting HYD? I mean, they can use other titles they have such as Naruto Shippuden or any shojo title ones like Fruits Basket (If they still have it) or School Rumble.
Here's a sample of those gossip scenes from PBB.
For those who don't know, Hana Yori Dango already aired in ABS-CBN back in the time that Meteor Garden, the Taiwanese adaptation of the said series is being aired. Because it aired on weekends AND the popularity of Meteor Garden is at its peak, the anime was quite underrated.
A couple of months ago, Hero TV aired Hana Yori Dango for cable viewers and promos for the return of Hana Yori Dango was released on ABS-CBN. Is this the sign of the upcoming return of Hana Yori Dango? You decide.
