Watch a special
I saw Hoshino Gen was in this and became curious! I liked him in Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu  and I like some of his music. When I heard it was a mlm role, I was even more curious. This was a nice mature special about family dynamics. Slow paced, but enjoyable. ⭐7.5/10
Watch a short filmEnjoyable short film. I don't often watch stories that take place during this time period. ⭐8/10
Watch a movie
Watch a TV Show

Watch a miniseries (under 10 episodes)
I'm here for the polyamorous drama. Honestly not sure if I'm going to like the direction it's going in, but its very entertaining regardless. Watched this without subs and will rewatch once the subs come out. ⭐10/10 unsubbed

PromptTitlesNotes
Watch a title with a rating of 8.5 or higher
Watch a title with a rating of 7.0 or lowerThis short film featured Inoue Sora. who is a talented actor. I'm curious how he picks his projects. It feels like he is trying out a bunch of different roles, maybe to find out what he likes. I liked the details in his performance, especially for when he is a teenager. (Not rated because I couldnt understand the dialogue w/o subs) Official rating as of this year is ⭐6.9.
Watch a title with over 5,000 viewersThis was okay. I liked the theme and how they used the main story to tell it. Been a rough couple months for me, so having a miniseries I could finish is really nice. ⭐7/10
Watch a title with under 500 viewersAt the time that I watched this, there were only three other viewers! It's pretty old and a difficult title to find. Luckily, I had someone who could help. This was bizarre and interesting. I kinda liked it ⭐7/10

PromptTItleNotes
Watch a comedy titleKita-kun ga Kawai Sugite Te ni Amaru no de, 3 Nin de Share Suru Koto ni Shimashita.Three polyamorous jdramas in one year? You best believe I'm watching all of them! This was probably my least favorite of the bunch just because the characterization of the hinge was so poor. But I did like the bickering vibe of the polycule and the found family vibes of it all. ⭐7/10
Watch a romance titleI kind of picked this up on a whim, but its silly and fun. I finished this at the same time that I finished My One Night Rule and thought it was interesting they were both shows about mature promiscuous women learning to let go of control. Kind of like this era of mature jdramas ngl ⭐8/10

PromptTitleNotes
Watch a title from before the 90s (1897-1989

This was on a PTW list of mine and was released in 1937. I was curious if this one would be non-monogamous, which it was not. It ended up being a simple and silly story about three guys hoping to get a better fiancé, and then eventually settling back into their own romantic lives. It was cute. ⭐6.5/10
Watch a title from the 90s (1990-1999)
Watch a title from the early 2000s (2000-2010)This was a rewatch for me, and I enjoyed it more than I expected to. Hana-Kimi was my start to asian dramas and watching it feels like coming home (even when it gets super corney and embarrasingly dated). Nakatsu!!! ⭐️9/10
Watch a title from the mid 2000s (2011-2020)Boku wa Mari no Naka I almost passed this just because the plot sounded like something I wouldn't like, but then I saw my girl Ikeda Elaiza on the cast list and a few positive reviews/comments from MDL users who I respect. 
Watch a recent title (2021-present)I picked this up on a whim, probably from the feeds. I tend to prefer dramas with episodes that are 25 minutes each, so thid was getting out of my comfort zone. Sometimes a bit sappy lol Love the protagonist's laugh. ⭐️8/10

#6 - All About that Manga

PromptTitleNotes
Watch a title adapted from a novel
Watch a title adapted from a Shoujo MangaThis was a cute drama, but I agreed with some of the commenters that I missed seeing Hikaru switching between both styles towards the end. ⭐8/10
Watch a title adapted from a Josei Manga
Not taking this too seriously and having some fun. The characters are a bit unique in their thinking compared to most romance titles I've watched. Based on this manga.  Enjoyed this and the way the characters explore desire and attempt to communicate. ⭐8/10
Watch a title adapted from a Shonen MangaAn old friend from college recommended this to me many years ago. It's about time I finally watched it.

Watch a wacky/outlandish titleYears ago I watched a video essay about this movie and put it on my PTW list. Luckily mthis is one of my partner's favorite movies so when Halloween came along I finally watched it. It's definitly wacky, and I liked the silliness of the supernatural horror elemenrs. Some of the visual effects were pretty cool and I loved the visual motifs and cinematography. ⭐️8.5/10

#9 - Familiar Faces

2/5

Watch a title with your favorite actorSo I have quite a few favorite Japanese actors, but Asano Tadanobu is one of the top ones for me based on a mix of the roles he chooses, the believability of his acting, and his flexibility to carry the spirit of a story. A close second would be Yamazaki Kento, though I also love Takahashi Issei and Inoue Sora
Watch a title with your favorite actress
Again, I don't really have one favorite actress but there are some who I have become familiar with and enjoy/respect. These include Ikeda Elaiza, Kadowaki Mugi, Morikawa Aoi, Kuroki Haru,Nagai Mijika, and Uchida Rio
Watch a title from your favorite director/writerMy favorite director isKaneko Fuminori. This title was my 13th of his that I've watched. He also works a lot with this writer (Kudo Kankuro). Ended up watching this one at a very slow pace and enjoying it a lot. ⭐️8.5/10
Watch a title where you don't recognize all or most of the castThis show was silly and fun. Watched this for the polyamory and was satisfied. Check out my review for more thoughts. ⭐8.5/10
Watch a title with an actress/actor you don't likeBusiness Kon: Suki ni Nattara RikonshimasuWhile not an actor I hate (Yamashita Tomohisa takes that role), I generally don't enjoy Kusakawa Takuya's acting. I often end up feeling underwhelmed by him. But Inoue Sora is in this and I do like him.
