10. Yowakutemo Katemasu (8/10) Review (I cannot find my review post for this! o_O)

*Of course rewatchs aren't allowed on this list!

There are many others that I loved throughout the year (Bakuman, Tatakau! Shoten Girl, Siren etc) but these are definitely my top ten! I hope it's easy to see why, but by all means do let me know if you ended up hating one of these and why! xD

Honourable Mention:
- The Lovers (9/10) - this is a Korean dorama so obviously would never be on my top ten list. But this drama was so realistic and I felt it really showed what real relationships are like. It was heartbreaking, it was funny. I adored every episode <3

Most Disappointing of the Year:
- Galaxy Kaidoh
- Second Love
- Age Harassment

Do I need to explain these?

Actor of the Year?
I got (re)obsessed with SO many actors this year and just had weeks of marathoning their stuff. But the one that's stuck with me all year is obvious:


Yamazaki Kento.

You can see my 2014 list here. This year was CRAZY! And I am so proud by the amount of stuff I managed to watch!

The leaflet/poster finally got released!!






Had to post for tbsscreenriders sake xD
It looks good anyway!!

It finally came out!! Unfortunately I didn't manage to read all the manga before it came out - I got half way - but the manga is so good that I'm gunna finish it anyway ^_^ Onto the review!!


( ( I wrote quite a bit ) )

Overall: 8/10 - not as emotional as the manga and the movie really loses the shock-factor when it comes to revealing moments that occur - in the manga they're so shockery and always a cliffhanger. Decent acting overall but it's really unfair that Yama keeps being given the same role. Also I wanted a bit more from the end scene. The locations, cinematography, scene transitions, music were all beautiful! Second half was a lot better than the first half also,

So I've made a bunch of posts today and instead of posting them ALL today, I've decided to set them for certains days. So coming up are things like:

- Orange Review
- D LIVE 2014
- TRUMP Reverse Review
- Last Things I Watched
- Winter Dorama Reviews
- KR Ghost stuff
- Christmas Post
- Other Stage Play Reviews (Sho wo / Litche Hikari Club / Tokyo Ghoul)
- The Best of Nijiro's Instagram

I should have a post up almost every day leading up to and maybe after Christmas so... your welcome? xD

This was tonight's movie!!

Quickie Review: 6/10


I was a little skeptical going into this film because one of my students said it wasn't good and I don't like Sakaguchi (that is his name right?) but I have to say that the trailer made this look so good so in the end; I just had to see it! Plus it's cheaper to watch it in the cinema than to buy it xD Also it's cost 50% of what it costs for a cinema ticket to probably rent the DVD when it comes out so, yeah, I watched it in the cinema....

Overall: It was a decent movie but I feel it could've really gone all out on the comedy. There were laughable moments but they were few and far apart and I'm disappointed at the lack of gayness after all the vibes I got during it. I haven't seen the anime so I can't compare the film to the anime but I've always wanted to watch the anime so if I ever do, I'll do a comparison for definite!

Holy shit you guys!! My most anticipated movie of the year finally came out and jesus it did not disappoint! Well just a tad but DAMN!!!

Let's get on with it shall we... but first I need to calm down a little xD

OMG!!!!!
HASEGAWA <3333
MATSUZAKA!!!! <33333
IKEMATSU!!!! <33333
KAGAWA!!!!! <33333

Okay... now I can get into the details xD

( ( I wrote quite a bit for me ) )

If I remember anything else to fangirl about for this film, I'll add it later. But yeah, was amazing!!! But there wasn't enough of all the characters and I need a second film!

So turns out I was once again way behind on my reviews and had no idea!!! So let's crack on!


( ( Almost ALL 2015 Movies xD ) )


Hope you enjoyed that!! I will seriously try to not fall behind again!! xD

Have a good day!!

Not gunna lie, minus the anime, I watched all these in the past 3 days! Becareful for SPOILERS and don't forget my massive 14 part review that I did last time, here. All my other 'Last Things' can be found under this tag.



( ( Some beautiful Nijiro caps btw ) )

Watched this today!! =]

Overall Rating: 9/10
Overall Thoughts: OMG this was so good!!!! Probably second best movie of the year! The acting, story, music, sound, cinematography, CGI was all amazing!! I wanted so much more! Wish it'd been a dorama, hence the one point being knocked off. This is great! I haven't read the manga so I can't compare but for me, I freaking loved this!! ^_^ And of course I cried twice xD

So I've been wanting to watch these doramas recently but dunno where to start to hoping you guys can pitch in....

BUT before we begin: Tbscreenrider don't you DARE start mentioning Nijiro's stuff! His stuff is already on my official 'must watch asap' list and not this list which is 'thinking of watching' COMPLETELY different list xP I'm especially interested in watching 'Why Don't You Play In Hell?' first of his...




These are two I've been meaning to watch for a LONG time and STILL not gotten around to them!





Library Wars (futuristics, I think libraries are bad in this future) and Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro (comedy, fantasy, nice to see Yamada do comedy).

And then there is the massive amount of Suda Masaki that turns out I haven't seen!!! o_O





I met with my friend yesterday and she seriously recommended these films to me too...











ALSO! My flatmate JUST recommended this to me!





Like Father, Like Son

Watched this tonight!!




SPOILERS!


Now before anyone starts; no this is not an amazing film on any cinematic scale BUT I fucking loved this film HENCE why it gets a 10/10 rating!! So shut it!

( ( Spoilers - major and minor - be aware! ) )

Overall Rating: 10/10
Overall Thoughts: I laughed, I cried, the changes were awesome, Yamazaki did an amazing job <3 his portrayal was a little different but an improvement I think: EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS!

This is based off the trailer that is being shown on the website (here)

I watched this last week but for some reason at the time of wanting to post this LJ wouldn't let me upload the movie poster -__- so it's coming to you a week late! I'd say the following review contains no spoilers xD

Rating: 7/10

I seriously loved the drama so of course was very excited for the film, and while it was a great film, I can't help that it was missing the action and the relationships that were in the dorama... I (obviously) cried like 4 times at this film for various reasons, both happy and sad reasons cos I do love these characters! Which brings me to the main negative of the film review: There was NOT enough Ichigo x Ayano Go's character! I wanted more of them working together! Cos they work so well as opposites and OMG they seriously ARE gay for each other! That semi-end scene OMG so much gay! But also I was crying xD I definitely wanted and needed more of that duo! Also, this film was a little difficult for me to follow because the language is very specific to scientific and detective vocabulary that I had a hard time understanding what they were discussing but obvs it's a film so by looking I could understand what's going on but I do feel down when I can't understand the words 100% even if it's obvious what's going on by the images on the screen... But yes, the story was solid, the acting was brilliant, the actual ending was pretty decent and I had all the emotions and enjoyed the action immensly so yes, overall a solid, good movie which would've been enjoyed more if I could've understood more! =]

HE DID IT AGAIN!!!

In less than 3 days ANOTHER Live Action film was announced today with Yamazaki!!!!! And it is another of who's anime I have seen and loved!! And once again, it is another male lead with a completely different personality to what he's played before (he might be similar to his L-DK character but that's the only one he's similar to).





Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji
Filming is set for December
Release is set for May 2016 (PLEASE BE ON MY BIRTHDAY!)



So look forward to a Watch-a-long in March-ish xD

I've already watched the anime and seriously enjoyed it! It's a bit stereotypical BUT I still enjoyed it.
Also, I'm neutral towards the actress BUT I can't imagine her playing the brat that the character is.

Guys... he did it again! He landed another role! DAMN he's been so busy this year! I hope he's eating okay... but back to the news!!

Pretty sure the news broke out today but I will severly upset if someone tells me now that I'm late in knowing this so shhhh!!! LET ME HAVE MY MOMENT!!

(Information partly taken from jdramaid and including my comments)

The story’s revolve about Kaori Miyazono, a free-spirited violinist with secret, attracted to Kousei Arima, a genius pianist who has given up playing. Together with their friends Tsubaki Sawabe and Ryota Watari help each other to be picked up again. Seemingly, Suzu Hirose and Yamazaki Kento have been practicing the violin and piano for the past 6 months. I am excited that Taishi Nakagawa is getting much bigger roles now too! He is finally being recognised and this'll be his second time working with Yamazaki correct? Filming begins this October for a month then will be released on 2016. I am very excited to see Yamazaki play a mentally tortured boy - and I mean that in the nicest way possible and in terms of his scope as an actor!

In Summary:


I'm not happy about the actress - if I remember correctly her voice annoys me. BUT we're getting another Yamazaki film very soon so I can't complain!

Which brings me to a question....: Have you seen: Shigatsu ha Kimi no Uso If not... WHY NOT?! To be honest cos so Uni finals I stopped at like episode 4 but I've always intended to complete it and now I have a definite reason to! SO... my main question is: Watch-a-Long? I'm thinking we make this one maybe a 1 - 2 month long one? So that not only can we leisurely watch this (anime definitely isn't a strong interest of mine so I rarely, rarely, rarely marathon them) but also with the filming beginning in October, we can most likely add that progress into our discussions - what does everyone think?!

Have you seen the anime? What did you think? Read the manga? Wanna do the watch-a-long? Yes dates will be discussed below and/or at a later date. Do you love Yamazaki as much as I do? Comment below!

I literally watched this less than 3 hours ago!

Non Spoiler Review: This was really funny! I laughed hard about twice xD Naturally this film was perfect for me because it involved the entertainment world and I love all Japanese movies that are about the industry or even CM/magazine industry or fashion etc. You get the jist! I half expected it to be heavy romance and for it to be a very stereotypical company romance but it wasn't, it was a little different so that was nice but I wish the romance was a little more developed and I wish the ending had a bit more information. The ending credits needed a funner sequence too. I was also shocked by Inoue's body. And naturally I drooled all over Yamamoto <3 that make is still 'dripping with good looks' (please tell me y'all seen Ouran?!). It was a good time, but you know my negatives already. I also liked how much natural noise there was in this!

7/10

Will you see this film?

I saw the SS/KR film for the second time today! I'm thinking that'll be my next review (yes, I know I'm way behind on 'The Last Things I Watched' sorry =/ it will come back soon though!), so look out for it!! ^_^
