Hey guys! I did purely a stage actor one back in May which you can check out here.

My Watching/Keeping-an-Eye-on actors have somewhat drastically changed, particularly over last summer, so I want to keep you all updated. Also this gives me a chance to talk about some actors that impressed me last year and that I hope continue to grow through out this year. As well as solidifying to you guys who my bias' are xD

So let's do... movie/tv actors first.

I only have two guys who I want to see progress this next year:

( 2 Movie/TV Actors ) )

Okay so now I'll tell you my bias', which you probably all know anyway but this past year my bias' have increased from 2 bias' to 3! So here we go:

( One New Addition! ) )


And finally here are my 'Keeping an Eye on Actors' that hopefully will stay with me until atleast March/April-ish. I do warn you, it's a drastic change xD also I warn you; I'm a sucker for actors who take the time to like and/or reply to my tweets, and/or take time to talk to me during events/after plays and that's influenced my list below A LOT.

( Pretty and Sweet Boys ) )

And I think that's my list. As you can see it's super changed and it's definitely smaller compared to last time but hopefully this allows me to start saving money also as that's a BIG goal for this year ^_^

This season I watched a total of  doramas and anime from this summer season (see full list here.) and here I am with my reviews of them!

I had 6/7 dramas and 8 anime, which is a total of 15 shows this past season which is like a lot but I honestly I don't think I watched anywhere near as much as I'd planned to watch but we'll see now won't we. First let's get the bad out of the way:

Didn't Finish / Didn't Start

1. GARO
There ended up not being one this season so that's a no brainer.


Now onto the reviews of stuff I did actually watch!

4. Kamen Rider Ghost [3/10 - only for Alein <3]

( Negative of the year! ) )





Anime

( 6 Total Animes! ) )




Extras

Most of the summer season I spent watching the doramas and anime from the actually season but then towards the end I found I had a lot of time (I put myself on a stage watching ban) to finally watch some past doramas so I ended up marathoning 5 in a row (I watched all five in about 8 or 9 days!) and hopefully can get some more out of the way and save some space (finally) on this poor, old laptop harddrive xD << if you wanna know what I have and help me decide the next thing I watch then let me know!

Total Watched and Completed list for Summer 2016:

( Full Watched List of Summer! ) )



Anime: 11
Dorama: 10
Movie: 3
SP: 1
Total: 25

Doramas are finally getting up there and balancing out against movies which I've been completely neglecting recently =[ and I don't think I'll have time to continue any cinema going any time soon (damn you October and your fucking busy schedule!).

And that's a wrap up! If you made it this far then thank you for reading all the drivel! xD

What did you watch this season? Any good ones? Anything disappointing? Any recs you got for me? Let me know everything in the comments below!

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?!

The LACK of HS doramas this season is shocking! Usually summer season is the HEIGHT for HS dramas...

I watched this LAST monday. It's part 2 to the Chihayafuru series! Part 1's review is here.


chihayafurushimonoku



( Don't read if you were expecting mainly positive ) )


----


Overal: This is another movie (like Ansatsu Kyoshitsu) where the second movie suffers from 'Second Movie blues' where it's no where near as fun as the first installment and suddenly becomes all serious. Which is a shame cos naturally I was a little disappointed. BUT it's still got karuta moments and it's great seeing their friendship grow and I did share a tear again BUT the ending was also disappointing.
Rating: 5.5/10

Remember: SPOILERS!

Chihayafuru Kami no Ku


Now I haven't read the manga but I love Mackenyu and Nomura so I HAD to see this. Also we all know I'm a sucker for high school romance xD

( Karuta <3 ) )



---

Overall: I really enjoy this movie! The concept interests me, the character arcs were great and you could see a real development in them. The competitions were shot well and very suspenseful. I was very emotional for this movie and I had a real connection with one of the characters. The ending killed me and I need(ed) more asap! The only negative is the small amount of Mackenyu we get in this first film ='[
Rating: 7/10
