ꜰᴀᴠᴇꜱ - shows/movies that hit different

One of the few things I watched before I even got interested in Jdramas, due to my Death Note hyperfixation in early 2023 I believe. Does this film have a lot of pacing and plot issues? yes. Do I love it any less? absolutely not.
L from this iteration specifically is my comfort character and the found family dynamic will always get me. This movie stands on its own imo and is just a great piece of media :>

Ougfdskjfds this one feels like the warmth of the sun on a fresh day, the breeze of the wind and a genuine smile. The main character is so relatable and the episode with the kid's struggles really hit close to home and stuck with me. I could say a 100 great things about this jdrama /ref

Genuinely such a remarkable drama I will never be able to get over. It's perfect in every way I can think of, beautiful story, characters, visuals, sound design. Everything about it is handled with such care. I love it so much <3

I watched this while I had a high fever, thinking it would be something silly and I needed a show that would not make me think at all. Boy was I wrong, it was GREAT!! I had to lock in and appreciate the way it blended light-hearted elements with incredible portrayal of grief, the power of human connection, emotions and words. Paired with great characters with fun dynamics...So good, it kind of reminded me of Move to Heaven in a way (but with more comedy and obviously supernatural elements)

AROACE REP!!! AROACE REP !!!! (sobbing, crying, bawling on the floor /pos).
This was so good and relatable :( I will never be able to sufficiently describe how much it meant to me to find actual aroace and qpr rep in media for the first time. Not only that, but to have it handled with such care and understanding with characters I ended up adoring. Koisenu Futari is so important to me.

I honestly need to rewatch this because it was such a great show imo with fun characters and interesting stories. The mc finding her love for proofreading and discovering her passion for it was so sweet and kind of reminded me of the anime Skip Beat (<- I have a lot of issues with this anime but I adore the storyline of Kyoko finding genuine joy in acting)

Uwahhh so good, relatable and touching. Especially as an afab adult tokusatsu fan,, I really loved this series to bits but I'm not even surprised because I went into it knowing I'd end up adding it to my favourites (from the info I already had about the show) lol

The series that got me into Dramas in the first place. I've rewatched it countless of times (the way saying it's probably around 50 times does NOT feel like an exaggeration lmao).

Though, looking back, if it did not have such a huge impact on my drama and tokusatsu journey, it would most likely be in the other list. It's really cute and funny though!!! I still adore it and it's a show I've hyperfixated on after all :>
I love it and I thank the scriptwriter for giving me Fujisaki Nozomi as an opening into discovering there are people like me represented in media (also thanking the aroace character lists on this site <3)

// might be recency bias but I really liked this...tentative, might move to the other list later
