You can see the list of those I intended to read here. I completely stuck to my list this time and didn't watch anymore nor anything else! (<< as in 2016 Autumn releases) Some were absolutely amazing, but there were a few disappointments.

I shall do the doramas first:




1. Lady DaVinchi [7/10]

( ( 1 ) )




2. Cain and Abel [3/10]

This bored the crap out of me. I watched it because my friend loves Yamada and she wanted to watch it together with me. But I ended up missing weeks and had to marathon like episodes 3 to 8 in one go so I never actually live tweeted her about it at all. Luckily she enjoyed it because of Yamada but unfortunately he was not enough to keep my interest. This plot is so stupid. It couldn't decide if it wanted to be a business focused dorama or a romance focused dorama; it kept flipflopping between the two. And while the romance started off good and I was still onboard about episode 7; the end result was so stupid. Can I spoil you? Okay here:

I hated this show. I was gunna write more but my rant has put me in a super bad mood for this.

Theme song was good.




3. YowaMushi Pedal [8.5/10]

( ( 3 ) )





4. Doubutsu Sentai Zyuogher

This is still on going but I'm about 36 episodes in and this is enjoyable. It's simple, it's cute, it's definitely a step up from the previous season, the plot development is decent too but it's nothing amazing but it's definitely good to watch. The Halloween episode was great preciated xD This series might finish before the winter season is over (it normally runs like Feb to Jan every year).



5. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid

This is also still on-going and this is a lot of fun! I really like the plot and I like the characters and the budget for this show is huge compared to the previous series because of the amount of CGI they use every episode! Also; all the boys are so cute!!! I'm definitely (and surprisingly) loving Snipe and Laser (<< oh jesus they're all younger than me including these two!!) so much! They're great and I swear to go if they kill them off; I'm rioting! xD I say this because in (about) episode 11 we already got out first character loss so I'm glad this Kamen Rider also isn't being kind as usual and isn't being child proof which is always appreciated. I have to say the weakest out of them all is Emu! Once again we have a Kamen Rider where the main character is the weakest part of the series! I really like him BUT I feel the personality switch he's supposed to have when he starts playing games just isn't prominant enough and it's not obvious enough. Finally, surprisingly Hiiro is growing on me and it all started because he likes cakes and sweets <3 his backstory really helped me understand him also. So yes, enjoying it and having a good time with the characters!


I'm done with the doramas! What did you watch and enjoy? And now for the anime:



6. Show by Rock Season Two [2/10]

( ( 6 ) )



7. Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru [9/10]

( ( 7 ) )




8. Yuri no Ice [10/10]


( ( 8 ) )

I watched a lot of other things this season that didn't come out this season so I'll so a separate post about those! But those have been my Autumn 2016 doramas and anime!

Same format as last time. Here is what I will 100% watch this season! All the ones that interested me can be found HERE for doramas and anime.



( ( 1 - 5 ) )

( ( 6 - 8 ) )

( ( 9 - 11 ) )

Mwahahah this baby <3 Let's get into it!

Are you ready for the craziness that is this?!

( ( I'm a perv and everything is either 'OMG' or 'sexy' ) )

Overall Thoughts: This drama is crazy as fuuuu. It's so jaw dropping and so astonishing that you can't help but either be turn on or shocked from the perviness! This is definitely NOT for those who feel uncomfortable with sexual things because omg everything happens and all the boobs and all the hentai - it's glorious! This dorama is a great oppotunirty for Taishi as it shows him pushing away and showing he can A. seriously act, B. can act in a different genre and C. proves and shows he's growing into a man. I really liked his performance. But, the ending... it definitely needs an SP or a film or a second season or something! But that ending... not good... This is highly entertaining, highly sexy while it's not the best thing produced, but like I said; definitely wins entertainment points!!

Overall Rating: 7/10

Have you watched this? What did you think? Who do you ship? Where's my second season at?!

Ready to cry your heart out?

Overall Thoughts: Y'know exactly what you're getting into when you see a drama like this. Tears upon tears upon tears. But what I didn't expect for it to be SO positive! While it's a seriously upsetting and dark topic, they way the characters strive to stay positive is really so uplifting and beautiful!
It was also great seeing such an unconventional Japanese family dynamic which was both refreshing (once again Japan is showing it's seriously changing recently in terms of what society deem as appropriate) and encouraging as well as heart warming and beautiful.
It was great to see Karina and Yusuke back on the big screen (funnily enough their first dorama back AFTER having major scandles separely each xD). I shipped their two characters together SO HARD <3 Having Tomo as a guest was brilliant! I really love the theme song too!
The end had some questionable twist but I can forgive it. BUT the one thing I cannot forgive is how unhelpful the fiance was whereas Yusuke was ALWAYS there!
But yes a beautiful but heartbreaking story with amazing characters and great acting and a beautiful soundtrack/theme song <3

Overall Rating: 8/10

Finally gotten around to reviewing the Autumn Dramas I watched this season!! And here is the first one: SIREN!

Firstly, Matsuzaka Tori is back in full force this last half of the year and I love it!!

Overall Thoughts: Great soundtrack, great theme song, great story, great plot, great acting, the characters were very questionable but in a good way because they were all so deep and interesting and left me wondering about their motives and everything! Also, some amazingly sexy moments, amazing chemistry between Tori and Kimura and sexy Tori is always welcome <3
The ending felt rushed and it definitely needed a tenth episod, because some of the logic and 'time' in the last mystery/reveal is a little questionable, but omg it didn't half keep me guessing ALL the way up to the very last moment! This was a dorama that surprised me if I'm perfectly honest. I love Tori and I've recently had an interest in Kimura because of Mother Game recently but for some reason I didn't expect much of it. I didn't expect ANYTHING from this dorama at all, but it ended up being one of the ONLY three dramas I decided to continue watching when my doramas were overwhelming me, which proves how great this story was and how much it kept me interested.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Did you watch this? Do you agree a 10th episode was needed? Were you just as clueless about the mystery or did you figure it out WAY before me cos I'm a dumbass and you have a brain?
