Level 1 | 07/20 | |||
#1 - The Basic B's | 3/5 | |||
| 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. 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 | ||
#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 | |||
| Watch a title recommended by another user | Recommended by lukeka | |||

#4 - Teeth Rotting Fluff | 1/5 | |||
| Prompt | TItle | Notes | ||
| Watch a comedy title | Kita-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! | ||
| Watch a romance title | I 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 | |||
| Watch a youth title | ||||
| Watch a fantasy title | ||||
| Watch a food title | ||||
Level 2 | 03/20 | |||
#5 - Decade to Decade | 1/5 | |||

| Watch a title from the 90s (1990-1999) | ||||
| Watch a title from the early 2000s (2000-2010) | ||||
| 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 | 1/5 | |||
| Prompt | Title | Notes | ||
| Watch a title adapted from a novel | ||||
| Watch a title adapted from a Shoujo Manga | ||||
| 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 Manga | An old friend from college recommended this to me many years ago. It's about time I finally watched it. | |||
| Watch a title adapted from a Seinen Manga | ||||
#7 - Queer and Kinda Clear | 1/5 | |||
| Prompt | Title | Notes | ||
| Watch a BL/Yaoi title (list) | I thought this was an interesting drama. The bluntness and honesty of the characters was nice, but some of the story felt a bit corny towards the end. Overall enjoyable. ⭐8/10 | |||

#9 - Familiar Faces | 2/5 | |||
| 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 | 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, | |||
| Watch a title from your favorite director/writer |  My 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 cast | This 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 like | Business Kon: Suki ni Nattara Rikonshimasu | While 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. | ||
#10 - Japan Across the Ages | 0/5 | |||

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