Effectively, right here we’re the end line for my finish of the 12 months programming! Granted the title doesn’t notably encourage nevertheless it works for what it’s. It’s all for enjoyable, only a good little recap about what I’ve seen over 2023. Some are new, some are outdated, a number of you’ll almost definitely groan about since can’t I simply drop it already? We’ll have to try it collectively!
I WATCHED THIS BUT NEVER REVIEWED IT
So Future! Future! was a tiny drama that had a extremely spaced out launch schedule. Prefer it began in July 2022, and didn’t end till January 2023 and was barely three minutes an episode. It’s additionally an oddity because it’s misplaced media – the Youtube channel for the uploads is clear other than the promo clip. All of the episodes have been deleted/hid sooner or later so I can’t even level you guys too it!
Nonetheless, it was plenty of enjoyable. It was a goofy Sci-fi premise, and Komai Ren is all the time welcome on display for me.
WOW THEY actually made the selection to Produce this
Good god, I had supposed to by no means carry up Ciguatera once more however right here I’m. I nonetheless completely baffled that studios will insist on producing out-of-date, again of their archives stuff that’s been popping out these days. I can’t determine if that’s higher then what the West does, or worse. This title although simply wasn’t it, and wanted to noticeably workshopped even additional earlier than it was filmed.
This had no enterprise going that onerous and being so good
JAM: The Drama will not be for everybody. The ending is admittedly fairly absurd for what the fundamental premise is. Nonetheless, I bear in mind marathoning this collection again in January. It was simply so oddly partaking, and would have been no matter EXILE TRIBE ties. Significantly. Sabu has some extremely odd, however critically entrancing visions particularly for it being his first drama that he was director and screenwriter for.
MY FAVORITE DRAMA FROM THIS YEAR
So this collection managed to snag this title, comparatively simply too, regardless of it’s somewhat late airing date. I imply the premise is simply so catered to me that I couldn’t resist it. The very fact they’ve Katayose Ryota of Generations from EXILE TRIBE as the primary male lead, Suzuki Airi of the legendary ℃-ute as the feminine lead – these two have a lot in frequent career-wise and possibly used that background to their benefit in filming. I pinky-promise you it’s price it even when the ending might be iffy (final episode might be on the twenty first!), and that I’ll have a full assessment up in 2024!
MY FAVORITE DRAMA I WATCHED THIS YEAR, THAT WASN’T RELEASED THIS YEAR
I don’t suppose too many individuals are shocked by this choose. I imply, my bias is laid out fairly thickly right here on my weblog. Sugarless falling very closely into that optimistic bias, no matter every part else.
I’ll make the argument that this drama is just about the cult-classic of the american dramas if there ever was one. It’s simply the proper steadiness of campy, catchy, appeals to women and men, and ties all of it collectively by being so earnest in it’s efforts.
THE WORST DRAMA I WATCHED THIS YEAR
That is one other one the place I believed I’d be carried out speaking about it with the primary put up. Alas, yearly there needs to be one title that I declare ‘the worst’ not less than for me. This 12 months being Kao Dake Sensei. I’m actually not concerned about repeating myself, so simply examine this out to listen to why.
With that, my awards season has come to a detailed! You’ll want to let me know down under what your picks for these classes, or dramas I missed this 12 months. Who is aware of, perhaps I’ll watch your solutions subsequent 12 months!
