So it's that time of year again where I decide what I definitely will warch and let me tell you... this was hard!


Usually I do two seperate 'Upcoming Doramas' and 'What I will Watch' Lists BUT this season, I wanna see ALL the ones that interest me! So I'm putting both the lists together this time! << Forgive me? So first! The complete list:


( The list feels short this time ) )

And now for what interested me:

2017winterdorama4


( 7 Doramas! ) )

There's only six this time BUT winter doramas are usually really slow and dark so I'm surprised and happy at how many interesting and fun ones we're getting! ^_^ In terms of how likely I am to watch them, it goes:

From 1000% Will Watch:
Dansui
Ueno-san
Shikaku Tantei
Star Consheruto
Gin to Kin
By Players
Ubai Ai, Fuyu

Obviously continuing from the Autumn season I still have Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger.

And now for the Anime I Will Watch this Season:


Yowamushi Pedal: The Next Generation
Tuesdays from jan 10th at 1:35am

The third season of YowaMushi

Touken Ranbu is supposed to come out in Winter too but the date is still undecided so maybe it's been delayed...

I'm still working through Hunter x Hunter, Prince of Tennis etc. but I should really sort that out right? xD It's been going on for too long! haha

---

And that's my Winter 2017 watching list!! If I missed any that interested you let me know down below!! ^_^

Btw, do you prefer when it's Anime Interested List, Dorama Interest List and Will Watch List or would you prefer they were all together like this one is/ Let me know below!

I watched this on Monday and I'd held it off for ages because I just wasn't in the mood but I DID want to see it before they stopped showing it at the cinema so I took the opportunity on Monday afternoon.

Story

If you didn't know this is set 10 years after the original movies and 6 Death Notes have landed in the human world and naturally it causes mayhem and everyone in the world remembers the original Death Note outburst. The Japanese police are working with L's successor who goes by Ryuuzaki in order to find the new Kira and collect the 6 Death Notes.


Semi-to-Non-Spoiler

( Spoilers follow after the Non-Semi-Spoilers ) )

Overall: This is very enjoyable and a high quality productions and I really loved Ikematsu and Suda's performances. I also love Misa's role in this story. However, the story was very predictable and used no new tricks and the ending got a little confusing. But I still say it's worth a watch and the entertainment value.
Rating: 7/10

2015 has officially ended so I can officially make this list!! You can see the list of things I watched this year here. Also in July I posted a 'Top Ten so far' list here. Ready for my top ten?!

TOP TEN:

1. Tokyo Bandwagon (10/10) Review
2. Heroine Shikkaku (10/10) Review
3. MOZU Season 1 (9/10) Review
4. Kingyo Club (9/10) Review (Skip to 'Overall Thoughts' for non-spoiler review)
5. Mother Game (9/10) Review
6. Suikyuu Yankees (9/10 Review
7. Ore Ore (9/10) Review
8. Wasurenai to Chikatta Boku ga Ita (9/10) Review
9. Death Note (9/10) Review (Skip to 'Overall Thoughts' for non-spoiler review)
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.

There we have it!! What do you think?

Let me know below who and what your favourites were for this year!!

We are half way through the year and thought I'd quickly tell you the top doramas I have seen so far this year! =] I have seen 17 doramas plus one rewatch and 5 SPs (and 16 films) so far this year =]



This first season blew my mind! Absolutely loved it! I am looking forward to the film even though season 2 was such a disappointment.



This was great! Forgotten character's name but I really enjoyed the main two guy's dynamic and relationship and the cases were interesting and stuff!! Another I am excited for the movie for!



We ALL know my love for this <3 get your tissues ready when you watch it!



Another everyone knows my love for if you read the episode discussions I carried out <3 so cute!!



This dorama was great at breaking Japanese 'values' and stereotypes and that's what made it really refreshing and gives Japan a sense of 'changing for the better' =]



This dorama left an impression on me. Naturally it's not a 10/10 dorama (cos I never give Korean stuff that! They just aren't that good!) but I loved the mystery and the multiple personalities and cute!



While I only gave this a 7/10, I really enjoyed it! And I cannot get Matsuzaka's tongue movement (that he does a lot in the dorama so if you've scene it, you know which movement I mean!) out of my head! *dies* It's a very entertaining dorama =]

And of course an honourable mention to Tumbling <3 my only rewatch this year and got a 10/10 from me once again! <3 Love it so much!



What are you top doramas so far this year?!
