What I've been watching lately #5 (Movies, Anime and short films)

Hello, hello you guys! Even tho I have been a little busy lately, I've been enjoying some shows and movies at the end of my days. There is no better way to relax! Between Netflix, YouTube and some anime recommendations, here is what I've been watching for the past month or so.

Para Elisa (For Elisa) is a Spanish horror movie. Basically about a college student who is looking for a part-time job and is held captive by her employer after she agrees to become the nanny of a crazy "girl"
I wouldn't say it's scary but, it makes you watch until the end and gives you a little tension. Unexpected ending and, the movie is actually pretty short!

Warm Bodies. I remember when I was madly in love with Nick Hoult~~~~ Well, this movie made me adore him a ton! Zombies, romance and a little comedy sounds like a good combo to me. I know most of you already saw it but, yeah. A zombie falling in love is something you don't see everyday. Kinda cute, kinda funny but I think it's worth your time if you like zombies.

My neighbor Totoro. I finally saw this movie! Not that I wasn't familiar to the characters because my friend Keisha has been a huge Totoro fan for a while now. I decided that I wanted to watch all of the movies Studio Ghibli has. I've loved the ones I've seen so, I want to watch more and more.
I loved the characters, I loved the creatures and Totoro makes me want to hug him!!

未来日記 (Mirai Nikki / Future Diary) is an anime that personally was not something I would've picked to watch by myself. But I ended up liking it a lot!
The show is pretty much about  group of diary owners. This diaries can predict the future. And they start a battle against each other. The last one standing will become a God.
There are a lot of emotional and psycological things going on during the show. I'd say it is more like an adult anime because of the topics it has. There's also a bit of a sad love story going on. (even if it's an obsessive love, it's still love, yeah? haha.) As for the characters, some of them are complex and you can hate them or love them. Yukki can be one of the most frustrating main characters ever! But, he has a good heart. And Yuno...well, she's a little psycho but, I couldn't help to love her at times.
The show has 26 episodes and one OVA. I haven't seen the OVA yet but I definitely will.

And finally, I'll share with you two Korean short films I saw and thought were entertaining. I really enjoy short films so, yeah.
First one is a "horror" one called Human Form and it shows the impact plastic surgery has on people this days.

And, 어머니 (Mother) An animated short film that shows the struggles a mom has to deal with everyday. Really cute.

And, this is it for now guys! Let me know if you decide to watch some of these. I'll be back with more recommendations for you all!

What I've been watching lately. (Anime and short films)

Hello sweets!
My Summer break is coming to an end, and part of what I wanted to do on that free time was to get caught up with some shows I just can't finish watching. And not because I don't want to but sometimes life gets really busy and I just forget or...because they are super, duper long!

The main show I wanted to watch was Detective Conan, because no matter how much I watch, I don't feel like I'm moving forward on the show! Too many episodes! I did watch some but, I still have a lot to go.

Second is...We Got Married. And actually, the season I'm watching is pretty old! Is when my Hyun Joong was in the show! I started watching it long ago but never actually finished it! So, I took some time to watch more of it. Can't stop laughing! Hyun Joong is the cutest! ♥

Ok, let's move on to the shows I DID finish!

The first one, and the one I enjoyed the most, is 大人女子のアニメタイム(Otona Joshi no Anime Time) which is basically a super short series of 4 different stories of women in their 30s or more. And their problems, life and experiences.
Honestly, I loved this show! Especially episode 2!! Not all of them are happy but, they only last for about 25min. so, it's easy to follow the stories without getting bored.
I don't know if you guys will feel like watching this but, I highly recommend it if you want something short and interesting. Each episode is different than the previos one, none of the stories are connected.
Here's a better synopsis in case you're interested: Otona Joshi no Anime Time
And! You can find the whole series online.

The second one is a short animated film called:自主制作アニメ 「 May 」

Sometimes we randomly watch short animated films, and out of all the videos I saw, this one made me fall in love with it! I won't tell you what's it about, I'll just leave the video down below for you guys to watch it!

Enjoy!

Moving on to another short film: 自主作成アニメーション「いと恋し」(Most love)

Cute little story about the "Red String of Fate"

惡の華(Aku no Hana/Flowers of Evil)

Ok, this anime is kinda...complicated to understand~ At least for me. We watched it because we were looking for a psychological thriller animated movie and after looking at some options, this one looked like a good option. I thought it would be more like a stalker-ish kind of thing but, it really wasn't... I think.
It's a short anime with 13 episodes so far. (I think there will be more coming sometime). As far as I know there's a live action version and of course, the manga.
Honestly, I didn't love it, I don't even know if I liked it. There are not too many characters and it's so easy to hate Nakamura-san! Sadly, I ended up disliking the main character too...even tho he was cute.
It's hard for me to make a synopsis since I didn't understand the end so, I'll share a few links for you to check if you feel interested in this anime.
And! If you do watch it, please share your thoughts with me! (especially about the end, what do you think happened?)
I don't know if I would watch the next part of the anime, maybe only to see if Kasuga-kun changes back to a normal person!

Synopsis and review here! (random review I found online that I think is really good explaining the whole story and stuff)

And yeah, this was my summer animation! Hope you guys like it and let me know if you decide to watch some of this!
Would you like me to continue with this type of posts?
Until next time!!

4 Short Horror Films~

Hi spooks! 

One of the things I like the most is to watch horror movies or, short horror films. I've seen so many so far, but I'm picking only 4 and sharing them to watch this Halloween month. 

Hope you guys like them!

* Lights Out. 

* Pictured.

* 이계도함수 (A function) I'm including this Korean short horror film because exams can be pretty scary, I think more than one can relate to this feeling when they are/were in exams. I know I can! Hehe

* 봉천동 귀신 (Bongcheon-Dong) I don't know if this can be included as a short film because it's more like a comic thingy but, I really liked it and decided to share it with you all. I think it's scary for an animated thing.

If you guys have seen some other good ones, please share! I'd love to check them out!
