Cat and Dog return to Owner- will there be true love?
A pretty outlandish premise that is simple but well executed. The acting coach and director have brought out some nice performances from the cast. The actors playing the Cat and the Dog are convincing in their behaviors and mannerisms.The question of what would happen if your pets came back as extremely attractive humans is entertainingly played out.
Will there be true love, brotherly affection or heartbreak?
Strongberry productions are seemingly always high quality. This is no exception.
I encourage you to watch the first four short episodes and you will almost certainly want to continue the journey to the last episode. The tenth episode felt like a fitting ending- so I hope the 11th (added?) episode won't veer off from what came before.

Stylish production, simple story
This is a simple story directed with style. There is a boy band and the song they sing is fun. The cartoon world is shown and what is shown is a series highlight- particularly the character/performance of a fellow cartoonist who just won't leave the grumpy lead be.Acting is often awkward and one note- I had particular problems with several of the boy band members and the lead. There is also an issue not unheard of in both BL and Non BL stories- if one of the characters is so morose, negative, angry all the time- why would the other person keep pursuing them?
Worth watching for the side characters- there is also a fun trip home where we meet the cartoonist's mom and sister.
I would rewatch any scene with the side characters I've mentioned and skip the rest.

An ad that hints at a good potential series
Ad value: 8- you get food this beautiful and delivery people this beautiful? Almost certainly not, but highly effective ad.Story idea: 8 - there are multiple ideas that could make an interesting 10 episode series
Story continuity: 3 the ad is more concerned about images than flow and continuity
Acting: 8.5 the four actors show they would shine in a well-scripted and directed full show. Fourth
has always been good- the other three appear markedly improved from the last things I saw them in.
Of course, this is only 12 minutes total- takes more energy and focus for full series- but I believe!
Direction: lots of glossy panoramas. Everything looks gorgeous- which means lighting and cinematrography on crew is
skilled. Some shots of cars expose how slow they are actually going.
Check this out and if you like it- write GMMTV for full series. And insist on an actual salary for screenwriters. And
no wiping off food off your intended love's lips, no slow mos on drink sponsors and no
loud "comical" noises. Now I am truly in dreamland.......

Hard Work and Sacrifice toward pursuing baseball goals
The documentary follows one team, coach and his family and looks at the joys, frustrations and consuming passion that surround Japanese high school baseball. The annual summer tournament Koshien is a goal and dream of thousands of high school baseball players across Japan.This movie doesn't choose to overglorify or to criticize the means and ways the coach works and teaches his players. This does a good job of showing what happens and letting the viewer decide how to feel about it. Another good choice is to follow a program that is good but not an overwhelming powerhouse. Also, a former protege of the coach has gone on to coach a team of his own. It shows that coach's approaches and team to a lesser extent.
This could have easily made a 3 part series that delved more deeply into how baseball shaped the coach, his former players and family. But this provides a good taste and is recommended for anyone interested in Japanese culture or baseball.
