The second season of kakegurui did not have as many games as the first one, but still, it was enjoyable.

The main story was pretty much the same, however, this time, the drama focused more on the leading lady rather than the male lead. He actually was more of a side character than anything. Not that she is not entertaining. She is an interesting character, but there was not much of a character development there.

So, overall, the performances were nice, even though the drama was way too manga style, with the over the top reactions and so on. The drama also concluded with an open ending, so the story will conclude with a movie.

Now here is a drama that got it right, L is an actual angel and this one proves it!

Fun aside, "Angel's Last Mission : Love" started like a fairy tale. The drama was filled with dancing and music and top notch aesthetics. The leading lady was great, as she managed to dance and to performe like a real ballarina. She had chemistry with her partner as well and that helped the love story a lot.

The universe with the angels and everything was well built as well. It was interesting and intriguing. Plus, the dramatic past stories were really good.

However, the drama got predictable and boring towards the ending. The family drama was not original, the love story was too cliche and the last twist just okay.

So, seven out of ten.

My dear loser the series monster romance could have been better.

I liked the fact that they presented him as a bad boy and there were some parts of him being the bad character. However, overall, he only did some questionable choices, but the character was seriously not a bad one or a monster. Though, the whole gang thing was interesting. The romance was good too, as the two leads had chemistry. But, the conclusion was boring and cliche. The side characters, as well, were not progressed nicely either. And there were some seriously boring parts in this drama. Finally, the performances were good.

So, six out of ten.

What I liked about this movie was the concept. It was a clever idea to present an old love story between two people through their last meeting to have a funeral for their pet cat. However, there were some things that prevented this movie to become good.

First of all, the couple didn't have chemistry. I am not talking about their dynamics at the present time, but even when they were a couple they didn't seem like they were a couple, rather, that they were forcing it.

Also, the whole movie was boring. The performances were good, but everything that kept happening were more superficially presented.

So, overall, five out of ten.

The concept of senior secret love puppy honey was nice. I especially enjoyed the friendship between the girl and her best friend, although, towards the end, he got a bit too involved in her love life, which was annoying. I also liked the side couple, who were funny and kind of cute. The main love story was cute too and followed the mainstream plot really, although the guy was over the top annoying in the begining. It actually felt like he was forcing the girl to do things she didn't want to do and he appeared like a stalker or something for most of the drama. Probably my favourite character of the drama was the girl's brother, who was big brother goals. Finally, the performances were okay.

So, five out of ten.

One thing that I loved about impossibility Defense was the performances. They were excellent and all actors and actresses were great.

The story was good as well, with enough thrill and the violence was handled nicely as well. Plus, the whole atmosphere of the movie was dark and mysterious. However, the story was complecated at some scenes and the final ending didn't really give insight on the main character. Maybe if I had watched the drama, I would have gotten a better perspective on the characters, however I have only watched this movie and thus, on that department, I was let down.

So, five out of ten.

Maybe it's because I have watched the first season of the anime only and not the second that I;ve found the second movie slightly better than the first.

For an anime adaption, their special effects were surprisingly good. Even the giant octapus of a teacher\allien was real like enough. Other than that, the story gave an insight to the character's past and it was nice to watch why everything happened. Other than that the movie kept the familiar pattern from the previous one and didn't help the characters develop a better relationship between them so their decisions could be justified. Nor did it provide a more in depth presentation of the students.

So, six and a half out of ten.

Atmospheric and just enough in length for the story it wants to present.

The drama starts slow, by presenting the setting- a boarding school only for the best students, the characters - the few students who stay at the shut down school for the holidays, and the mystery-letters sent to all of them with the same massage. From then on, the story is packed with thrill, good performances, action, mystery and suspense. The only problem with the series was that it didn't explore the impacked the "adventure" had on the students after it was over more in depth.

So, 8 out of 10.

Ie Uru Onna was enjoyable. The story is not extraordinary, but it was okay. The office drama and the individual characters, as well as the cases, were humane and cozy.

The leading lady, although kind of odd, she was the highlight of the drama. Her personality and the way she bossed everyone around, as well as achieved the sales, were what moved the drama forwards. Also, the rest of the characters were interesting and cute as well, creating a family in the office. The ending was kind of sudden, however.

Finally, all the cast gave us great performances. So, seven out of ten.

Poison Berry in my Brain had a nice concept and an all star cast to support it. The movie actually reminded me of Inside out and Amelie. However, the only fun part of this movie was the debates of the five personas and probably a few of the romantic scenes that were steamy and cute. Other than that, the movie had some confusing parts, some boring parts and some so so parts. I did like the ending though. And the performances were really good. I would have liked if the personas were better introduced though, so we could have a better idea of how they will react in each situation. So, six and a half out of ten.

Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu or I'm taking the day off, had nothing original to offer. Actually, only the side stories were funny and spiced up the, otherwise, basic plot.

So, the story talks about the romance between a thirty year old office worker who had never dated before and a twenty year old college student. The plot would ahve been nice, if they explored the relationship and its consenquences for them and the people around them. But, that never happened. Actually, the only enjoyable part was how the leading lady always overthough things and she actually calculated the relationship based on logic rather than feelings.

In addition, the overall performances were good, and that helped the drama. So, five out of ten.
