I need to be medicated.

I loved this show up till around episode 7. It seemed pretty lighthearted even though it had its issues. But once it got to those episodes... My blood pressure stayed high, my jaw stayed clenched, and my anxiety stayed in the clouds.

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS, PLEASE BE OF AGE!!! I'M TALKING 18 AND UP! I DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK "OH I'M MATURE!" NO! 18+! -_- I SAID WHAT I SAID!

**WARNING: MASS SPOILER ALERT!!!**
I'm trying so hard to sort through my thoughts on this show but all I can think of is one constant scream. Therefore, I have a massive headache. I think episodes 7 and up really fucked with my head because legit, I can't remember the show before those episodes! I know that sounds crazy. Trust me, I know. It's weird because I KNOW I liked the show up till that point.. so why can't I remember? It's like once I got to that point, it was like a "my life is a lie" situation.

I hated Hanabi though. Really and truly. She goes on and on how much she loves (what the fuck is the teachers name?) Kanai? I think? ANYWAY -- I honestly feel like she mistook her infatuation with him as love. He's been there since she was a kid and honestly played a big male part in her life, so it kinda makes sense, I guess? What doesn't make sense is how through this whole (and yes, I mean the WHOLE show) is how they made Akane the "heartless bitch monster" of this series... I mean, don't get me wrong. She was. She was a awful piece of shit. But while she was that, Hanabi knew this. She saw what a shitty person Akane was and pretty much was like "I won't be like her" ONLY TO END UP BEING JUST LIKE HER!!! LIKE WHAT?!?!
I made me want to throat punch her so fucking bad. I get teenage hormones are the worst. I do. I really do, I've been there. We all have. But it doesn't mean we want to use every single person we know just to feel a void. Gosh damn. Be normal. Drink alcohol and do drugs like a normie. I'M FUCKING KIDDING!!! DON'T DO THAT!!! I'M LITERALLY KIDDING! DON'T DO THOSE THINGS! THEY FUCK UP YOUR LIFE! Lol
Anyway, now that bad joke it out of the way and I'm sure I will regret it. Yeeeeee let's continue. As you know, I'm completely and utterly Dori Sakurada biased. I love the man and all he does... but lemme tell youuuuuuu he pushed me in this show. Gosh daaaaaamn he pushed me. (there I go clenching my jaw again; gotta do what you can to keep yourself from screaming until your lungs deflate) How can you see you're falling for a person and genuinely be like "eh fuck that. I'ma chase ass instead" because that is pretty much what he did. How can you see someone's true colors and still want to pick them? All while saying their toxic behavior is "cute"? Bruh... what!?

Let me just say, even though I wanted Hanabi and Mugi together -- fuck that noise. How many times did they talk about a relationship only to turn right around and fuck around with someone else? Like I shit you not. The SECOND they were like "well... let's be a real couple then?" Hanabi went and had sex with someone else. WHILE TALKING TO SOMEONE ELSE AT THE SAME TIME! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR DAMAGE!?!

Now a character I really did like was Ecchan. I was not expecting to see a character like her. She deserved so much better than what she ended up with. I think that is what made me hate Hanabi to the max was how she did Ecchan. How can you call someone your friend and lie to their face like that? Even if they say they're okay with you using them.... Smh, I don't care who you are. No one WANTS to be used. Don't do that to them. It's a bitchy fucked up move. Ecchan deserved better and she never should have forgiven Hanabi.

By the end of this show I pretty much hated everyone except like 2 people (Ecchan and Kanai). I still don't understand that ending and it pisses me off. All this time it seems like Hanabi was just getting by with her fuck toy and one friend? Yet at the end, dudes were tripping over themselves to ask her out and she walks away with a group of girl-friends. fihgwaslkhaflsk WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE!? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!? I hate gaps like that so much. Especially like this because there were no gaps. Everything happened so fast it was damn near lightening speed so it makes zero sense that all this happened as fast as it did.
They set up this ending and buildup like Hanabi and Mugi would get together and of course those that watch it know was a bust that was. That ending made me scream so loud in frustration. After all of this bullshit -- what was the fucking point? You expect the main characters to have some kind of story to finish off with but nope. It ended up the side characters that finished off the story completely. Why? What was the point? I'm so aggravated over this show.

Will I come back and fix this review? Maybe when my head stops pounding. Maybe not because I want to move on from this as soon as possible.

Remember kids, don't drink and don't do drugs. it was a joke and a bad one at that.

I did NOT plan to get that invested...

Have you ever randomly clicked on a show just to have something playing in the background as you do something else? This was one of those shows for me, only when I clicked it, I fully intended to just let it play as I went about my work buuuuut... from the moment it started - there was no cutting it off. Even my family stopped what they were doing to start watching this show.

My ONLY warning to you if you see this show and want to watch it, clear your schedule because you are about to miss a lot of sleep to finish this show.

I ended up loving every single one of the characters.... and I do mean Every. Single. One. Those from the start that you just hate with a passion and want to hit with a car.... loved. Lol. Hats off to the writer of this show because it is really hard to take a hated character and make them loved. Least for me it is. Because when I hate someone, there is no changing it. Lol. It goes to show that the growth of all of the characters are powerful.

The twists man. Oh gosh!! This is the PERFECT example of the quote "that's what you get for assuming." *hides in shame* I was so ready to hate so many of these characters only to have it shoved in my face that what I *thought* was actually HELLA FREAKING WRONG!!!

Because This Is My First Life is one of those shows that you need to watch every single scene though because you'll be lost for a while if you don't. Not that I minded; it was like crack. Lol When I finally did need sleep - I had to actually force myself to shut it off. Which... did last long, mind you. Like I said, it's crack. Hahaha

I want to say this is probably the first drama I have watched where I haven't completely ripped into something or someone. X_X Though don't get me wrong, there was one character I love/hated. He was such a amazing person in the end but he reminded me of someone that makes my skin crawl. So it was always mixed feelings with him.

"Sounds like a personal problem to me." Lol - it is, bro. It is.

So do yourself a favor, check the show out. You know you wanna.

What was the reason?

I haven't written a review in so long but I just feel way to *much* about this.
Also this might contain spoilers, if that's even possible though since the synopsis and preview tell the whole story.

It's been 10 years. 10 YEARS since you last saw this woman. Who, yeah, I get it. You loved her, but... come on. 10 years and suddenly she shows up and you aren't even together a whole day before she is asking you to kill her husband? My dude.... come on. and why the hell did you agree to?
I get wanting to do something. I do. Especially to protect someone. But again, you haven't seen this person in 10 years and you have a really good life... you're just going to throw that all away?

Maybe if they didn't start the movie off the bat like that or maybe they spent more time together to show us this "bond" they're supposed to have, I would care more or at least understand. But as is, I don't understand.

All through this movie and I do mean ALL THROUGH IT, it just felt like Nanae was using Rei. She was throwing out red flags like crazy. Even when they were teens. It felt like she knew Rei loved her and she could use that to her advantage. Rei on the other hand, I have no idea. It was weird how she constantly said she was lesbian but still ended up having sex with two guys. I get shit happens but, you didn't need to sleep with the dude to kill him honestly aaaand the second dude? I'm just confused.

This movie gave me one hell of a stress headache. It was a absolute dumpster fire. Even watching it on 1.5x felt like it didn't end it quickly enough. and the ending? All this went down and through the whole movie Nanae talked nonstop about wanting to die. like bitch, why did you get Rei involved in the first place then?! and for the last line to be "I'll wait for you" -- well you fuckin better. Though I doubt you will. Wish there was some after credits scenes or something cuz it ended with me more pissed off than ever.

I tried to like this movie. I really did. I had high hopes for it but when I tell you it is BORING, I mean it is comatose boring.

The movie had a ton of potential but they CRAWLED through everything, what should have been a hour movie was stretched into nearly 2 hours. Now, if you like slow burn and love the "build", then this might be a great movie for you. Sadly, for me, it wasn't. I love my stuff fast paced. This was so slow that when things finally did start happening, I didn't care and was half asleep.

I care nothing for the characters. I can't even tell you any of their names. Lol which is sad.

Though I will say it shows a lot of what I'm sure idols go through with the companies and it makes me sick. But it's really no secret. Smh.

I really wanted to like this movie. The cover and synopsis are amazing and I'm such a horror/paranormal junkie that I thought there would be no question- that I would love the heck out of it.

I was wrong.

I know "slow build up" is a big thing in horror/thriller, but come on... don't put your audience to sleep. I wanted to cut this off 5 minutes in, that is how slow and draggy it was. But I kept pushing myself thinking it would get better. Again, I was wrong. As soon as Hiroki showed up, I knew I would stay for him and him alone because I saw ZERO hope for this movie actually turning in to anything. I was right about that.

I felt zero connection to the characters and if anything the main female irritated me to no ends. When she would panic and over react her breathing. I wanted to scream shut up. Everything she did was over reacting (this is my personal opinion, don't come for me). I wish they had casted someone better for her. Maybe then it would be a little better?

The storyline was the same as any other, honestly. I'm not hating on that though, there are a lot of horror shows/movies out there that are pretty much cut outs of a different show but they somehow make it just as good.... this one fell short. Way short and left nothing to the imagination. Not far in, you pretty much know who is who and what is what. No mystery at all. Lol

This show kept me so freaking stressed out that it really wasn't that enjoyable, but I couldn't bring myself to drop it.
I wanted to love it. When I first started it, I was hooked instantly. I did love it. But then around the middle, things just got to be too much and it was more anxiety driven. Lol I mean, yeah this would be more true to life, I guess because not everything is lucky or happy but ... this show made me like (almost) every character at first and by the end, I gave zero fucks about Hibiki and Kurumi. I stopped rooting for them by the middle and when my favorite character died, I set the speed to 2x just to get it over with. There were a few shocking moments popped in but it still didn't satisfy me. As for the ending.... I'm sus af and I do want to at least try season 2 and see what is going on with Kurumi and her genes. Lol

I fee like if maybe the pace had been a bit faster, this movie would have gotten a higher rating (from me).
It started out pretty promising, especially with the storyline. But, it wasn't to long before I had to set the speed to 1.25 then 1.5 and even then it felt like it was dragging a bit and I lost interest.
I wish I could say I loved every minute of this movie, like I really thought I would -- but I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I really did like the storyline and I found it really interesting but I don't know if it was the pace or what, I was just ready for it to be over.
Hats off to that ending though. I actually thought I knew down right how it would end, glad to say I was wrong. Lol I like being surprised like that. Though the ending was surprising, it was also fucked up.
She was really wrong for that. -_-

I ended up dropping this. I can't sit through it, sadly.

When i first came across it, it really did look and sound interesting. But as i kept watching it just felt like it got worse and worse. I'm not sure if it's the weird time-line setting or the weird acting they all seem to be doing but nothing about this movie made me want to finish it.
Even the story itself is iffy. I wanted to like it. I really did. I sat through more of it than i really wanted to but as they say, you can't force feelings. And my feels clearly said "enough!!" Lol

I just couldn't get into it.

So I'm not hating on this movie but I kinda expected more from it.
Nothing really happened in this movie except a bunch of teenagers standing around screaming at each other while they're on a time limit of who to kill off or sacrifice.

Can't say I'm annoyed ... but I kinda am. Lol but I get it. I would be screaming too if I was in that situation so I can't hate it too much.

Also... can't ignore the fact that it really is a different version of Battle Royale. I know I try my best to not compare movies/shows but this one was.... waaaayyyyyyyyyy to close to being like Battle Royale for my taste.... just more screaming and in slower motion. I had to speed up the movie to get through it. >__<

I gave up on this movie 45 minutes in before i started to just screen jump.

Personally, this wasn't horror in any way. Thriller, possibly. Mystery, sure. But all in all once it showed the kids death, I wanted to stop watching. The parents remind me of crackheads so i wouldn't put it past them to have "helped" him "commit suicide" to get the insurance money.

This was pretty much all this movie was. People killing themselves or others for insurance money.

And not going to lie, I have zero ideas who his gf/lover is. I swear it's like i blinked and suddenly she was there. Don't remember her name or where she came from.
I don't actually remember any of the characters names. I don't care to. That's how bad this movie was.

For a movie made in 99, i expected better. :/

This movie was so stinkin cute!!
Also so damn confusing,

It started out great but kinda fell off around the middle .. I mean to the point I almost wanted to cut it off because it was just all over the place and I had NO IDEA what was even going on half the time. Had so many questions and not even a hint of answers. But, I'm glad I stuck around because it did get better. Can't say I got answers really... but.. it did get better. Lol

The relationships in this movie was ... really really weird. and questionable. I know through this whole thing we are told Wao is in love with Gen's sister (who is 10 years older) and she loves him too. (um excuse me, ew. Sorry but 17 and 27? Hello jailbait.)
BUT you can't tell me that Wao wasn't in love with Shima. You can't. The way he looked and acted with her? Yeah no. That is more than friends. That is more than step-bro. That is "I have deep feelings for you but I'm pushing them down into a deep part of me" -- which if that was it, could be explained by the whole "step-sibling" thing... maybe he was weirded about that? I have no idea.

And you can't tell me Gen wasn't in love with Wao... and I don't mean in the "bromance" way either.... I'm amazed he saw Shima at all at any time during the movie, he was so into tunnel vision with Wao. Lol
HONESTLY all three of them together seemed like they could have just been in a poly relationship. Because that is the vibe I was getting and then when they were in his room talking about her leaving, hands down it screamed they all loved each other in ways of more than friends. That is just how I feel about it.

In this case, this is probably the first time I have ever seen main characters as side characters and the FL ends up with the SML. It's all new to me and I feel like I've entered a different universe. Lol The storyline was pretty basic but the relationships, man. Twisty as FUCK! I got questions! So many questions!

**Note: I'm writing this review as I watch the movie to keep up with thoughts that are plaguing me.**

I am going to go out on a limb here and assume this was written by a 12-year-old on wattpad.

There was no storyline.... whatsoever. The flatline of this movie was FL likes ML who likes someone else. So what does she do? Pines. When that doesn't work picks a fight with the other girl... who isn't mean at all. She's actually a sweet girl. Did I like her? No. Lol because (OF COURSE) she is with some other guy that is "terrible" and so she keeps Mino on a string knowing he likes her, so any time she has troubles, she knows she can run to him. "but what if she really needed him" people may ask.... if she wasn't dangling him, she would have been more active in his life and wouldn't have cut out so quick after Rika slapped her.
Which by the way, was fucking stupid. Like you're really going to attack her because Mino doesn't like you? That is some hella childish shit right there and is exactly why he would be better off without either. Can just imagine someone glancing at him in a market, next day news would say the woman is dead and missing her eyeballs because Rika got triggered or something.
que up "I WON'T BE IGNORED, DAN!" (Fatal Attraction, if anyone is curious about that line) lol or worse... she would tie him to the bed and break his ankles like in Misery.
You get what I mean though. If she is going all this not long after just meeting him, that is some messed up shit.

And can we just talk about when she was "drunk" (honestly, I still don't know how that happened. I rewatched that part over and over and must have kept blinking at the part I needed to see) anyway, Mino tells Rika that Aoi rejected him.... AND SHE CHEERS!! Bro, are you freaking serious right now? After all that cheering she says for him to date her. O____O I felt like my head was going to explode.

Ah yes, because someone who has been in love with someone for YEARS can just stop instantly and date someone else. *dramatic eye roll* THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS, YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!! I really really REALLY don't get how this girl is almost an adult. Everything she says, does, acts -- is a 12 year old. Not college age. And I will never understand what is the point of dating someone if you're going to keep bringing up the person they like(d) or their exs? I don't get it. If they are with you (finally) -- why are YOU stuck in the past? shouldn't this time be happy and about y'all?

In all honesty, I get it sucks ass when you like someone and they don't like you back, we have all been there before, I'm sure. But when you push and push and push and beg and beg and beg for them to date you, when they finally do, don't be shocked when the person they do(did) like comes around and their eyes light up. You should never have to pressure someone into dating you.

Fast forward to the ending, that was cute. Not gonna lie. I'm happy they made it out that way but I'm still not a fan of this movie. I wanted to cut it off so many times. I gotta learn it's okay to cut things off. lol. But yeah, this just wasn't it for me. I'm not into the the no plot theme. Not into characters having to beg to be in a relationship with someone then getting mad at a whole ass different character that the one they like doesn't like them. It was a mess. This movie was a mess.

I feel like I'm being over generous with that 8 stars. Lol I really feel like 7 would be better.
I didn't like the movie but I didn't hate it either.

I kept seeing this in my recommendations and though I'm a huge zombie junkie... the plot and cover art just didn't seem like it would be all that great. For the most part... it kinda wasn't, sadly. I hated the male lead... so so so much. I get he is a sweet dude, that's cool and all... but it's literally the end of the world and you're still not wanting to shoot anyone because of the law?? News flash buddy, the law had it's face eaten off. TF even? Lol
So when everything always went down, the girl always seemed to be the one to save him.... always. and it annoyed me to no ends. You're literally being protected by a teenager.... who doesn't even have a gun. But yeah. Go, you, I guess?

Props to the last few minutes when he actually grew balls and started shooting people. Completely and totally unrealistic single handed, but again, do you, I guess? You'd think that would make me a little happier but it didn't. Lol I guess mostly it took up to that before he started firing. Like he didn't even shoot the dude that shot the girl that had been protecting him the whole time. I already didn't like him but kept wanting to give him the benefit of a doubt... but after that scene, I don't care what he did. I lost all hope for him.

For a weak lead to stay a weak lead is a new one for me.

Also just want to say, I mean the characters, not the actors. The actors were amazing hence the 10 stars for the, ^_^

The story itself seems like a good idea and had been done correctly could have been a creepy story. But ... this is probably one of the most stupid movies I have watched lately and honestly doesn't make any sense.

They threw in a lot of things that could have been cut to actually explain why and how all this happened in the first place. I felt absolutely zero connection to any characters. This movie is over a hour and I couldn't even start to tell you any character's name. The two best friends seem close, that's about all I can make sense of.

The "horror" part of the move is laughable. the "stabbing" sounds literally just sound like someone getting hit with a sack of quarters. There were no twists. No turns. No build up. What has this been doing for a hour? X_X I couldn't tell ya. Nothing makes sense.

I get it's supposed to be "urban legend" kinda thing, but even those have a story. Those have a REASON. Those come to you, show up, or you go to them because of some *set* reason (I mean, unless you're the slit mouth woman, then I can see how you just stumble upon her, but even then, there is a story/her story) so you see what I'm getting at, hopefully.

And y'all I'm sorry but the running.... the running had my cry laughing. It reminds me of vines I used to watch of people being dumb for fun. Lol I'm sorry. This just wasn't my thing. This wasn't horror to me.

I wish and I hope someone redoes this movie though because the story itself does have potential to be something if done right.
