Been
lon time since I last did Dorama and/or Eiga reviews. Here's a big batch to start you guys off with! O btw, I'm planning to do My Top 10 Doramas/Films so they should be coming soon! ^_^
This is pretty much just in alphabetical order, not by last seen but if you find the dates of my last reviews (before this post) I think you'll find it's been about a year or something since I last did a review - eek!

She has been falling down often and walks strange. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

In Akihabara three people (a Super Sentai otaku, a cosplay otaku, and a closet anime otaku) are scouted to become Akibarangers. What they don't realize at first is that they're not officially part of the Super Sentai Franchise and that all their fights are just delusions. Hoping to become official, they fight evil beings to prevent Akihabara from being taken over by other parts of the city.
