I'm back with another show recommendation post. As usual, you'll find mostly anime, Japanese & Korean shows. I'm trying to accumulate a good amount of non-asian shows or movies to make another post.
So, in no particular order, let's start!
ANIME
☆ A sign of affection
This one was a recommendation from the bestie and it was defo worth watching. It's the story of Yuki Itose, a deaf college student. She randomly meets Itsuomi Nagi and they start a very cute relationship. They are very different and want to learn more about each other's world.
The anime has 12 episodes and it's just... beautiful! Plus, all the characters have good fashion and hairstyles, hehe. It is pretty recent and I really hope they release a second season cuz, there are still so many things I'd like to see!!
☆ From up on Poppy Hill
This movie is set in 1963 Yokohama, Japan and I just loooove movies that show old Japan. The story is about Umi Matsuzaki, a 16-year-old girl, whose life changes after meeting Shun. Together they work hard to save their school's club, located in a very old house.
At first I thought I was not going to be that interested in the movie but, as I continued watching, the story caught my attention. In a way, it is a bit of a love sotry with some emotional moments as well as funny ones.
DRAMAS & SHOWS
☆ Fishbowl Wives
I was not expecting to finish watching this show but, I did and, I actually liked it. Fishbowl wives follows the story of Hiraga Sakura and the stories of six different women in unhappy marriages, they all live in the same fancy building. In a way, some of this stories connect at some point. This show has a lot of drama, nudity and a cute yet sad love story between Sakura and Haruto.
It's a good show.
☆ My husband won't fit
After watching Fishbowl Wives, Netflix recommended this one. For some reason, I thought it was going to be a funny show but, it really wasn't. Kumiko and Kenichi meet in college, they fall in love and even get married. They seem to have a happy marriage but, they have a small problem, as the title says, he won't fit. This brings some drama to the story and makes the couple face some problems. I wouldn't say this is one of my favorite shows ever but, it's a good one.
☆ House of Ninjas
House of Ninjas is about a retired Ninja family, trying to live a normal life but, eventually, they'll be "forced" to return to some missions. Very bad summary, I know, hehe. I do have to say it is a good show, I binge watched in one weekend (it's only 8 episodes long). Even tho it is an action show, it also has some drama and even a little comedy. I really enjoyed it. Really looking forward to a second season.
☆ An incurable case of love
I only watched this drama because of Take-chan, I love him way too much and I'd watch anything he does but, this one wasn't my favorite. Not that I didn't like it, I just didn't love it. It's a romantic comedy in which Sakura, a young girl, falls in love with a doctor after seeing him saving a life on the street. She decides to become a nurse in order to meet him again. When they finally start working together, she realizes he is not what she expected. In the end, the end up falling in love but you know, she has to face a lot before getting there.
The story kinda reminded me of Playful Kiss (one of my all-time favs) a little, especially because of the super cold, perfectionist male and the clumsy but sweet and caring female characters. It is the classic romantic comedy.
I did love to see Take-chan playing this cold, serious type of guy. I have a thing for this personality, hehehe.
☆ Morimoto's sushi master
This might be a little random but, we have a cooking competition! I do enjoy them but rarely follow them til the end. But, for some reason, I binge watched this one. This one was, as the name says, a sushi competition. Most of the food looked SO GOOD it made me hungry everytime I watched.
And, that is it for this recommendations post. As usual, let me know if you have watched some of these or, if you'd like to. Also, feel free to send me some recommendations too!
I received this UNO game as a pressie last year, and it took me forever to share it around here. Dunno why~ I have to say it was the first (and only so far) board game in my apartment.
UNO has been one of my favorite games for a long while, I know it is super simple and easy to play but, it is a lot of fun! It takes me back to my childhood, when we would spend hours playing with my grandma ♡, it has a special place in my heart. It also brings out my competitive side, haha.
The game is basically the same but with Naruto Shippuden cards. I think we all know in this house we love Sasuke so, it's perfect! Plus seeing the characters on the cards gives it an extra something while playing.
These are all the designs in this game, of course, we have the different colors and numberws. I just didn't show them here.
The back is just normal.
I've seen there are other UNO cards featuring other anime and even movies so, there's something for everyone.
I'd like to buy more games to have in the house so, feel free to send me some suggestions!
This is a veeeeery short post but yeah, I've been wanting to share this one for a while.
I've seen this shikishi boards a lot for a while now but I never actually bought one. I do regret not buying a Misato (Evangelion) one I saw last year that I really liked tho~
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, my friend gave me this Kugisaki Nobara Mini Shikishi and I wanted to share it here cuz I really, really like it.
Shikishi boards are basically, illustration boards. This one was part of a Kuji, and it was a "G prize". I'm sure they had other character designs too.
They are made of a very thick paper and even tho they are not that small (11.9cm by 13.3cm aprox) it says it's a mini shikishi so, I guess they also have bigger versions of this art boards.
This one shows Nobara with a very decisive look(?), holding her nails in one hand and, probably, her hammer on the other one. It has a very simple white background with a hint of pink and red in this watercolor kind of thing. Plus her name and the name of the show.
There is a nice gold frame that adds a nice touch to the board. The back is plain yellow with some small silver spots. I like it! Hehe.
Back of the shikishi board.
Nobara is one of my favorite Jujutsu Kaisen characters and, I don't really own many Jujutsu Kaisen goodies so, this is a cool thing to add to my anime stuff. I think they make good decor too.
And well, that is that for this super short post, hope you liked it!
I found this suuuuper long anime tag and kinda wanted to give it a try. It was longer tho, I erased some questiosn about specific anime I've never watched cuz, I didn't see the point of sharing them if I didn't know what to answer. These are over 100 questions and they come with a big photo spam so, you've been warned.
Let's do this!
1. Favorite Opening Song? Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu! opening song: Sore ga ai deshou by Shimokawa Mikuni.
2. Who do you think you are most like? I can relate to different characters but, as I grow older, I've realized I am a mix between Katsuragi Misato and Rangiku Matsumoto. I love them both but I know they're far from perfect, hehe.
3. If you were in an anime with powers of any sort, what kind would you have? I think I'd like to be a witch or have some kind of power related to magic.
4. If you could live in any Studio Ghibli movie, which? Howl's Moving Castle or Kiki's Delivery Service
5. Which anime has the best food? Yuru Camp!I get soooooo hungry everytime I watch it.
6. Which anime has the best fashion?Nana & Bleach. In Nana, you can see how each character has a very unique and specific style. Everything looks cool and well designed, even the accessories they wear. And, I guess in Bleach, we can see better fashion in official illustrations more than in the amine but, still.
7. Anime BFs: There are sooooo many bfs I like so its hard to choose. Let's see~ Nana & Hachi (even tho their relationship is toxic af), Spike & Jet, Ban & Ginji (GetBackers), the inner Sailor Scouts, Orihime & Tatsuki, Hinamori & Rangiku and probs others I can't rememeber atm.
8. Favorite Neko/Animal-like character from Anime or Game? I don't really watch anime with animal-like characters... the only one I could think of is Kizna Towryk (Candidate for Goddess) because she has cat ears.
9. Favorite Dragon Character? I'm not into dragons in general but if I have to choose, I'll go with Hyorinmaru, Hitsugaya Taichou's zanpakuto (Bleach). Just because I love Hitsugaya way too much.♡
10. Favorite soldier/marine in an Anime? Sagara Sousuke (FullMetal Panic), sometimes he gets on my nerves but, his weirdness and stupidity make them cute sometimes~
11. Best Boy? It took me a while to think about it and my answer is one I didn't see coming but, Myojin Yahiko (Rurouni Kenshin). I'm not gonna lie, sometimes he can be veeeeery annoying but, I am SO proud of that boy and how strong he becomes.
I'm including an unflattering pic of him cuz, why not?
12. Best Girl? Elie (Rave Master), I know she might not be the most popular one out there but she is such a funny and cute character, I really, really like her.
13. Most annoying character? Zenitsu Agatsuma (Kimetsu no yaiba) Sorry, he's just too loud, I just can't.
14. How do you choose the animes you watch? Sometimes by recommendations and others because I see a character that catches my attention. It depends.
15. What was your 1st favorite anime? Sailor Moon! And it's still one of my favorites. It'll forever have a special place in my heart.
16. Which anime made you cry the most? Nana, but I cry in almost every anime I watch. đ
17. What was the 1st anime you ever saw? The Trapp Family, at least that's the one I remember
18. What anime do you regret watching?Diabolik lovers. It has some cute guys but, I never even finished it.
19. Which anime could have been better? Mmm... maybe not an anime but a season? For example, even tho I liked Kimetsu No Yaiba 3rd season, it wasn't my favorite. Same with Jujutsu Kaisen's (Don't kill me), the first part didn't catch my attention as much as the first season did. Something was missing.
20. Thoughts on Live-Action Adaptation? It's complicated cuz I've seen really good ones, (like the Rurouni Kenshin live action movies) but, then I kinda end up liking some that people think are bad because I love the anime way too much (FMA movies& Cowboy Beboplive action show) and then I just avoid watching others cuz I know I'll be disappointed (Shingeki no kyojin or Bleach). I guess it's hard for them to be as good as the anime but sometimes I do give them a chance.
Talking about the live action gave me a random chance to share the FMA live action automail cuz, IT IS PERFECT!
21. Been to Japan? Nope, but I'm dying to. It'd be my dream trip.
22. Who would be your best friend? I think Hanako Koyanagi & I would gt along just fine. We could fangilr over husbandos together!
23. Have you ever pretended to be in an anime? I guess I did when I was younger. It was fun!
24. Who is your favorite anime character of all time? Ah! It's difficult to choose just one! Kaname Chidori maybe? I just love her personality!
25. Favorite Male Anime Character? Another difficul one~ I feel like my favorites change from time to time. Ryoji Kaji as I'm typing this. He annoys me at times but there's something super sexy about him.
26. Fanfic? I haven't read fanfics in a loooong time but I used to love them! I especially remember FMA & RuroKen fanfics. Some of them were really good!
27. Character with best intro music? The Outer Senshi in Sailor Moon. I'm still obsessed with their intro music.
28. Who is the funniest anime character? Shin-chan (crayon Shin-chan). He is defo something~
29. Top fav Soundtracks? Oh gawd, this is a difficult one... Let's see, Full Metal Panic, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop and Nana. I love others too but mostly some openings or endings, not the whole soundtrack.
30. 1st anime crush? Chiba Mamoru from Sailor Moon.
31. Which anime was better than you thought it would be? Yuru Camp
32. Which Animes did you dislike the most? Diabolic Lovers and My Hero Academia. I only include those cuz I did watch them a little. There are others I dislike but didn't even watch. Does it make sense?
33. Favorite anime movie? Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door
34. Which Anime is your guilty pleasure? I don't think I have an anime that could be a "guilty pleasue" cuz I think I'm pretty open and ok with what I watch. Maybe instead of anime could be reading hentai-ish doujin featuring my fav anime couples? LOL. (I haven't done it in a while tho)
35. Best Anime Villain? Ulquiorra Cifer (Bleach)
36. Favorite Anime Family? Uchiha family (of course) and the Elrics. Even tho it's just the two brothers now, I love their super strong bond and love for each other.
37. Favorite 7 Deadly Sin from any anime?Lust (FMA). She's beautiful and sexy.
38. Favorite Vampire? Shido Tatsuhiko(Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective). This is such an old anime but I can say that Shido is still my #1 anime vamp.
39. Favorite Animal? This time I'll choose Plue (Rave Master) which is a dog. Yeah, a very unusual yet cute looking dog. I just think he is so adorable and love him so much.
40. Favorite Sanrio Character? Hello Kitty, Aggretsuko and My Melody.
41. Favorite Ghibli Movie?Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbors the Yamadas and Howl's Moving Castle.
42. Best fighter anime? Ikki Tousen and Tenjou Tenge. I didn't finish Ikki Tousen 3rd season but it's still pending on my to-watch list but I really enjoyed this anime. As for, Tenjou Tenge, I watched the whole show and was obsessed with it for a long while.
43. Saddest Anime Scene? Gin's death (Bleach), Kaji's death (Evangelion) and the strawberry glasses breaking scene (Nana). I'm sure there are moore but those are the ones I can think of right now.
44. Anime That Never Gets Old No Matter How Many Times You’ve ReWatched It? This is hard choice because I am someone who loves rewatching shows and to me, they all never get old, but I'll go for Nana, Evangelion, FullMetal Panic? Fumoffu! and Cowboy Bebop.
45. Favorite Supporting Male Anime Character? Then again, it's always hard to choose one cuz most of the time, I love supporting characters more than the main one and, I don't want to make this post a super duper long one. I'll go with Uchiha Sasuke because I am literally obsessed with him.
46. Favorite Supporting Female Anime Character? Misato Katsuragi. She is a great supporting character who's also very important in the main character's story and I feel like she puts everything together in a way.
47. Most Epic Scene Ever? I think most people would go for fighting scenes but, to me one of them could be Sousuke finally confessing his love for Chidori (FMP IV) or the ring scene in the Sasuke Retsuden arc.
49. Favorite Weapon? Matsumoto Rangiku's Zanpakuto, Haineko (Bleach). I know it's not the most powerful or beautiful zanpakuto but, I think that'd be the kind of weapon and relationship I'd have if I were part of the Bleach world.
50. Favorite Attack Someone Used in an Anime? This is random but, the attach Hitsugaya and Matsumoto did together during their fights in the TYBW part 2. I was so happy and excited, haha. They are such a great team.
51. Moment That Shocked You the Most in Any Anime? Many of the deaths in Shingeki No Kyojin and Yamamoto's death in Bleach
52. Saddest Anime Death? Ichimaru Gin's! I'm still not over it.
đ
53. Best anime fight? I don't think I have one. I can say I love to see Levi fighting tho~ ♡
54. Most Badass Scene From Any Anime Character? I'm sure there are many but the one I remember the most is when I say Livi fighting for the first time, it instantly made me fall for him.
