#1 - The Basic B's | 2/5 | |||
| Prompt | Title | Notes | ||
| 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 film | Enjoyable 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. | ||
#2 - Popularity Challenge | 3/5 | |||
| Prompt | Titles | Notes | ||
| Watch a title with a rating of 8.5 or higher | ||||
| Watch a title with a rating of 7.0 or lower | This 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 viewers | This 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 viewers | At 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 | |||

#9 - Familiar Faces | 0/5 | |||
| Watch a title with your favorite actor |  So 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 | ||||
| Watch a title from your favorite director/writer |  My favorite director isKaneko Fuminori. This title would be the 13th of his that I've watched. He also works a lot with this writer (Kudo Kankuro), and I usually enjoy the projects they work on together. | |||
| Watch a title where you don't recognize all or most of the cast | This show has been very silly and fun so far. I'm really enjoying it. Watching this for the polyamory. | |||
| Watch a title with an actress/actor you don't like | ||||
#10 - Japan Across the Ages | 0/5 | |||

| Watch a title set in the Taishō period (1912-1926) | ||||
