Better casting choice and a bit toned-down character portrayal compared to its eight-episode drama series.

Completed - July 4th 2022
This series did not have a dull moment. Brilliant casting for both Nozue and Togawa, I was moved by their performance to the point I enjoyed this live-action compared to its manga.

7. Parasite in Love
Japanese Movie - 2021
Completed - July 11th 2022
Not going to lie, I had watched this film for both my former crushes (the main leads). The story has potential and the visuals were stunning. However, the conclusion was a bit dull, I wish there was more depth and explanation behind the parasites.

9. Fullmetal Alchemist: Revenge Scar
Japanese Movie - 2022
Completed - August 22nd 2022
Some exciting fight choreography and character interactions. The duration was on my conscious therefore the story didn't entirely engage with me. I do look forward to part two for some closure.

10. Kyouso no Musume
Japanese Drama - 2022, 7 episodes
Completed - July 15th 2022
The first four episodes had an intriguing direction to its story however, the story seemed rushed and incomplete. It would have been nice to see a final interaction between Sara and her father.

11. Tokyo Revengers
Japanese Movie - 2021
Completed: November 4th 2022
This film had my attention from start to finish. It made me more eager to check out the anime adaptation. The time leap plotline was an intriguing part.

12. Baby Walkure
Japanese Movie - 2021
Completed - August 19th 2022
I was blown away by the fight choreography. Although every character had this kick-ass attitude, it wasn't enough for me to connect or care much for any characters. Overall, it's a film made to not be taken seriously.

13. Suntem Morți cu Toții
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Completed - January 31st 2021
Not much expectation going into this lengthy series.
The series had cool characters, Nam-ra, Soo Hyuk and Cheong san. The other characters had some scenes to shine however, it was surprising to see very little development with a series-long duration. I was surprised everyone was still able to run without water or food for days.
Overall, it was an interesting binge with a message on society and how it could affect people in a domino effect. From a rational pov we find ourselves annoyed at the character's decision, however, we would probably find ourselves in a similar situation and react with flight or fight.

15. The Door into Summer
Japanese Movie - 2021
Completed - January 3rd 2022
Clear visuals and potential in world-building, however 57 minutes in, the story was anti-climactic.
It would have been nice to see more scenes and obstacles for Kento's character. A bit of a missed opportunity on Pete bot having some action scenes.
I did appreciate the film for having a mystery element to it. For the romance element, I had mixed responses partly because of the age. I believe it would have been interesting if Rin and Riko's role was switched with a bit more backstory to their characters. Kiyohara would have nailed the role of antagonist or antihero based on her role in Switched (also on Netflix).Netflix (Eng subs)

16. Boku mo Aitsu mo Shinrodesu
Japanese Special - 2022, 1 episode
Completed - April 26th 2022
It had a nice message and I'm sure they left out the kiss scene, so conservative people could watch it to see it from the LGBT pov.

17. The Fable: Chapter Two
Japanese Movie - 2021
Completed - January 13th 2022
More exciting action sequence to the first film. The first 50 minutes was a bit of a drag, but it somehow fell into place. I also won't lie when I say I watched it for Hirata Yurina-san.

18. Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko 2
Japanese Special - 2022, 1 episode
Completed - April 9th 2022
A fun binge, however, I think I may prefer the first season. The absurd and over the top performance works when it's not too overdone.

19. Na mo Naki Sekai no End Roll: Half A Year Later
Japanese Drama - 2021, 3 episodes
Completed - August 18th 2022
It was nice revisiting these characters with a sequel. I was confused whether Makoto is still alive or if it was done as a flashback scene. However, if he was alive, there was a missed opportunity for interaction between Kida and Makoto.
Michiru grew on me gradually from ep2. Kida deserves to have some happiness in his life. In the end, his outfit and surrounding apartment visually reflect that he hasn't quite stepped forward from his past sorrows.Viki (Subs)

20. Sun
Japanese Movie - 2016

I would say despite the chaotic nature of this universe, I enjoyed seeing the wholesome friendship between the characters of Furukawa and Kamiki-san.

23. The Fable

It was an alright popcorn film and the action was intriguing. However, the plot itself wasn't special, considering there are similar plotlines to mainstream Hollywood action films ?

24. Fullmetal Alchemist: Final Training

Mainly stayed for the actors. Struggled to watch through the first and middle act, but the final act is where it became intriguing.

26. Breathing Like
Japanese Movie - 2021
Completed - April 9th 2022
Beautiful visuals and song.
The plot is a bit dull and vague. It could have had more moments where there were stronger character interactions with little dialogue in between lyrics.
