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 here for anime.

[ Winter 2016 / Spring 2016 / Summer 2016 / Autumn 2016]



First let's do that wonderful doramas!

summerseason1sukinahito

( Once again the list is long! ) )

On Hold List

I still have many many stalled doramas and anime, and I would like to finish some but I doubt I'll have time. If I do find time then I was like to finish at least one of these:

- Angel Heart [Dorama]
- DownTown Rocket [Dorama]
- Shi Gatsu ha Kimi no Uso [Anime]
- Donten ni Warau [Anime]
- Parasyte [Anime]
- Kill La Kill [Anime]
- Cross Ange [Anime]


But god knows xD

----

SO!  That is a total of 6 (7 possible) TV shows and 8 anime which comes to a rather large-ish total of 15 shows that I will watch this season!


What are you DEFINITELY watching this season?!

SO I finally, after about 4 months, decided to give Ghost another chance. I've been ill the past few days so all I've wanted to do is sleep and binge watch TV and I've watched everything else up-to-date so it was finally time to give Ghost another go...

Now before I give you any details or anything let me just tell you about episode 29: I am in FUCKING tears right now. I am COMPLETELY heartbroken! What the actual fuck?!?!?!!?!?! IS ANYONE ELSE WITH ME?! Oh my god....

Now let's do the positives:

1. I admit, I think because of the fact that I HATED Ninninger so much, it unfortunately meant Ghost always got the end of my rage every time it's episode finally came on after Sentai. So that's why I don't think I enjoyed ghost in the beginning and what ultimately led me to stop watching it.
2. I like Dark Specter's look
3. The bad guys are GOLD. Both in that I love their characters AND their actors.
4. Once again we're seeing bad guys where some aren't 100% all that bad.
5. Fucking love Cubi!
6. Alain and his actor are HOT as FUCK!!! Holy shit. I'll henshin with him any day <3
7. Alain's character arc and internal battle has been great to watch and see his progression through the series <3 his new clothes are cute too... (Fumi-baa *cries*)
8. Alain and Takoyaki <3
9. The fact that neither Kanon nor Alain no longer deny when people mistake them for boyfriend and girlfriend. It's kinda cute haha
10. I like the more minor characters a lot too like Shibuya and Narita and Fumi-baa (FUMI-BAA!! *cries*)
11. Takoyaki
12. The Dai Kaigan transformation look is pretty cool.
13. I like how more realistic the days and time is going this time around since Takeru got his new 99 day limit.


The negatives:

1. Akari can still go fucking die. She still annoys the fuck outta me.
2. I finally see why people dislike Onari and yet I also dislike him too. But still Akari gets more hate from me.
3. Kanon can also jump off a cliff. Not in a 'I hate her way' but more of a she's not needed at all. She bores me and I don't really care for her.
4. I don't really care for Makoto either. He looks better since he got rid of his awful korean hairstyle, but... he's there and I understand why he's there but I'm not all that emotionally attatched nor really care if he's there.
4.5. I'm not all THAT emotionally attatched to the story or the characters. The only characters I care about are Alain, Fumi-baa and Cubi (and two of those have already been ripped from me). Everyone else? I wouldn't be bothered if they got killed, yes even Takeru. I don't even care care about his mission nor that the bad guys are trying to destroy/ruin earth. So yes, unfortunately, no major attatchement from me to this show still.
5. The intro song really isn't that great. It's not bad but it's not the best. << maybe this is because I just marathoned 10+ episodes in one go hence why this opinion is rather mild.
6. When Takeru had his little brat moment when he refused to fight while Makoto and Alain get beaten to shit. THAT pissed me right off. But I'm glad he got punched and came back to his sense.
7. Why did Cubi have to leave?!?!?!? *cries*
8. Episode 29!!! Spoilers >> WHY THE FUCK HAVE YOU KILLED FUMI-BAA OFF?!?!?! NOOOOOO!!!!! This has just fucking ripped my heart apart!


I still stand by the fact that this is one of the weaker KRs that I've seen but at least this time around I've been able to see more of the good in it. Which is what's important right?! xD

Kool! So let's discuss Ghost below! Did I hurt your heart again [livejournal.com profile] daftdragon?

It's that time again when all the new, shiny things are starting!! Just like last time I'll list what I am hoping and want to see through out the season (full list and inital interests here). So lets get cracking!!

[ Winter 2016 / Spring 2016 / Summer 2016 / Autumn 2016]


1. Watashi Kekkon dekinai janakute, Shinai desu - Well this was an obvious choice from the start so no need to explain myself here ^_^



2. Good Partner - Seriously that has me SO intreged and I've not seen a legal dorama since Legal High. I'm expecting it to be part serious, part comedy so we'll see!



3. Seirei no Moribito - This is is seemingly only 4 episodes a year for the next 4 YEARS! So I'll wail til season one is completed (cos it finishes in two weeks!) and possibly watch the first season. But I really don't like the idea of having to wait 4 years to get the full story... seemingly this was an anime too?



4. Dias Police - but ONLY if I have time. This is going to be more of a 'back-up' if one of the other dramas really don't mesh with me.
5. KR Ghost, SS Zyuohger, SS Tokyuuger, KR Amazons - Ghost is nearly up to where I want it to be before I start marathoning through it, so hopefully before May I'll be back on attempting to watch it (even though I've already been majorly spoiled for March 27th's episode!). I started Tokyuuger during the winter season and I am in LOVE with it! I cannot get enough but I'm taking my time because I don't want it to be over. But seriously, it's SO good! Zyuohger is proving to be interesting too but this stull has like 40 episodes to go - defo not complaining though! If I finish Tokyuuger this season then I'm gunna move onto KR Gaim. It's like the only other Toku I've not seen that's come out in recent years.

Now the anime... I've been in a HUGE anime mood recently so first we'll look at what I'm already currently watching (there's 4) before looking at the newcomers for this season:


One Piece main image

6. One Piece [Episode 670 onwards~] - I haven't watched any for like 2 years so I was about 50 episodes behind when finally picked this back up recently. I've actually cried a few times. Seriously, Cora-san had me BROKEN UP!! So yeah One Piece this time around is affecting me more and I'm enjoying it more.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) main image

7. Hunter x Hunter [40-ish onwards ~] - another I took a 2 year break from and continued off from episode... I wanna say 40-something. This is definitely one I HAVE to be in the mood for (OP I can basically watch whatever mood I'm in) so I'm watching this at a slower pace but I've just gotten onto the Greed Island arc and loving it so far! Episode 64 as of March 30th.

Fairy Tail main image

8. Fairy Tail - I have tickets for the stage play so obviously I gotta do my 'homework' for it. Seemingly the stage story will take place from the anime episode 52. I'm currently on episode 33 so should be able to get through the necessary arc before I see the stage! I have to say, I'm really enjoying FT! I was worried it'd just be a OP rip off but it's very different and I love the characters and I cannot wait and can totally picture Ono, Shuuto and Shira-chan as Loke, Natsu and Grey <3

Prince of Tennis main image

9. Prince of Tennis - I know! I'm finally WATCHING this even though I've been watching the stages for YEARS! Unfortunately this one is taking me the longest to watch. I am definitely preferring the stages to the anime but I think that's mainly cos the anime is such low quality xD Right now I'm on about episode 10 (yeah not far in at all right! But I do rotate between these four anime so one episode per go and I've only been watching POT for about a week). I have to saw; seeing Kaidoh with an orange bandana is weird as hell! xD

Joker Game main image

10. Joker Game - I am ONLY allowing myself to watch this ONCE I've FINALLY watched Kamenashi's Joker Game movie. I have been putting off BOTH his 2015 movies for too long! I am excited to see the anime of it though - yes I already know I'm gunna like these.

Ace Attorney main image

11. Ace Attorney - my sister is a HUGE AA fan and I've played a little of the game and I've seen the movie and I wanna see how well it transitions from a game to an anime. And it probably will translate well because they make anime out of games ALL the time xD

Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto main image

12. I'm Sakamoto? - The synopsis actually doesn't give much away but I am expecting (and hoping) it's a comedy about just how ridiculous this guy is ^_^ If you've read the manga, let me know!



As for all my 'On-Hold' stuff: I am NOT making any promises. I am SO swamped enough, right? I have enough anime episodes, doramas coming up, I watch a new movie at the cinema almost every Monday AND I'm still VERY behind on my stage reviews. On top of that I've been marathoning the GANTZ manga (380-odd chapters by the way) cos I've been 'reading' it for like 4 years already and in the middle of two books and *dies* I really do have enough on my plate entertainment wise at the minute so all my On-Hold stuff is STAYING on hold and I'm gunna make it a rule to not start ANYTHING new on ANY platform of entertainment until most of my shit is done ^_^ sound good?

And there we have it! My MAHOOSIVE list for Spring 2016 - wish me luck? I need it! xD

What are you watching this season? Let me know below!

Watched this less than 2 hours ago!! Here is my review! And don't worry - it'd not Ghost-bashing at all!! Or at least hardly bashing hehe ^_^




Overall [Non-Spoiler] Thoughts:This is probably the best Kamen Rider movie I have watched so far (I've only seen about 6 of them in total I think!). I feel the story was hella interesting, I was focused on it the entire time and completely absorbed in the story. It was HELLA funny. I laughed so hard at so many parts. I also cried my heart out at least twice! And the final boss? Holy hell he was KOOL and I liked the enemy theme as well in this!! The logic of the timeline-ness is questionable but you can easily suspend disbelief for the film. And we all know I don't like Tomari x Kiriko so that was the only other negative I had about this film. It was enjoyable, interesting, entertaining and made me cry - what more could I want!

Overall Rating: 9/10


Spoilers: *Yeah I know I've done this review backwards compared to how I normally do it but shh!

( Fangirling so hard! ) )

Is it obvious I enjoyed this movie? xD


Did you watch it? What did you think? Do you ship GouxChase? KirikoxChase? TomarixKiriko? TomarixTakeru? Who?! xD

Okay, Okay I'll admit it. Episode 10 of GHOST was really good!! I was not bored. It had my full attention. It was nice having Shibuya (probably my favourite character bar Takeru) go darkside and see more of his character. The plot is definitely getting cray and solid. But Specter is still a stupid mother futher. And seeing Akari get knocked out made me happy too. I was even like 'shit, no!!' at points.

So kudos Ghost!

But it's still gunna take me a few more episodes to persuade me to be motivated to get up early on Sunday mornings for you again!

Nevertheless, I want the freaking suitcase of Eyecons!

I have stopped waking up at 7am on Sundays to watch Super Hero Time because to be perfectly honest, these two seasons are a disappointment =/

First thing, they're both about ninjas!! Why you putting two ninja-themed shows on back-to-back?! It's too much!

Second, Ninninger's story line is so weak! I was talking to Tilmon about two weeks ago and seemingly they so poorly executed the big plot line that I hadn't even noticed they'd revealed it!! That's poor writing AND editing!
Another thing is the MAJOR lack of character development. While Yakumo and Kinji has a decent semi-solid background, Yellow and Pink have like NO background at all! The other characters too (But I hate Taka and Shiro-ranger with a passion, those siblings can go jump off a cliff!). They need more personal centric episodes seriously! Yellow's only had the limelight twice! He defo needs filling out!
And my final thing is; announce who's gunna be the Last Ninja already!!! I've waited 40-fucking-episodes!! That's all we viewer care about!! WHO IS IT GUNNA BE?! I think there was one more rant I wanted to make about Ninninger but o well...

Third, (now we get onto Ghost) Ghost showed SO much promise before it started! The ONLY worry I had before it started was Nishime Shun and how well he could act! We are now 9 episodes in and I pretty much hate everything EXCEPT Nishime, who I am thoroughly loving (plus his twitter is SUPER cute!) and happy with his performance. But EVERYTHING else.... let me get my major quarm out of the way first: THE FUCKING WOMAN! THAT FUCKING SIDE KICK BITCH! She annoys me SO fucking much! Everything from her face to her voice to her personality to UGH!!! I HATE HATE HATE HATE HER!
While the Monk is bearable, his personality is meh. The monk with the glasses however is cute. Another positive I would say is the Eyecons, I REALLY like the KR system and my favourites are the Egyptian one and Nobunaga <3 Next, pacing; it's going way too fast for my liking.
We're already on '26 days left' and I'm like 'waaaah?! Nah, I need another 10 episodes before this arc finishes!' but the ending to episode 9 made it seem like we're only about 3 eps away from this first ARC finishing!
O and can we PLEASE get some fucking development with the evil kid?! (yes he's like the same age as me but he still looks like a child!) Like we understand the crazy ex-scientists motives and stuff but what the fuck is this mdijit kid doing? We don't know his goal or desires or backstory or anything yet! So lack of character devleopment! And I do not like our surfboard nemasis (he is that thin he looks like a surfboard and I don't like it!), he needs to get his eyecon out of his ass and stop fighting is supposidly childhood friend! Fucking hell...
O and I don't like this whole "Kanon in an Eyecon" shit either. Makes her brother looks like a right wanker and weakling.
BUT, I like the Henshin sounds too... Oh and the crazy man ghost (I like him as an actor too but can never remember his name) So main point is: I LIKE Kamen Rider Ghost as in the actual rider/character, but everything else I cannot stand!

Sorry if I've just ruined one or two of your favourite shows for you but I had to get my rage out somewhere. I know DaftDragon is loving Ghost so I'm sorry if I just upsetted you but I just had to get it out there >.<

So yes, I have lowered them on the priority scale and will only catch up with them when I have nothing else to catch up on.
In the meantime, I'm motivated to finish Kyouryuuger and I seriously wanna watch ToQger asap cos JunJun <3

Just, I can't... just...
