what to watch – EachPage

Spoiler Time Sunday: NANA (Anime)

NANA (Anime) is a friendship/love story that suddenly turns traumatic and unbelievable. The more you watch this anime, the more invested you become in it! It’s now available on Netflix, but you can also watch it on Crunchyroll.

Oh wow… I’m not even remotely ready to talk about this one.

Anime: NANA

Genres: Romance. Josei. Drama. Music. So much drama.

Director: Morio Asaka

Originally a Manga by Ai Yazawa-sensei

You can watch it on Netflix or Crunchyroll.

I’ll try to keep it short, and to the point.

NANA description:

Nana “Hachi” Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and ~~leave her capricious love life behind her~~. Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock’n’roll. Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they quickly become best friends in a whirlwind world of sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties! Anxious to get into a Tokyo groove, both women are on the prowl for a funky and cheap place to live. But inexpensive apartments in Japan’s capital city are hard to find. Thank goodness each Nana has a clique of cool friends willing to help out. Too bad these friends are a little wiggy!

2023: What Did I watch this Year?

Hello, dearies!💙

The year is coming to an end. 2024 is around the corner.

What did I watch this year? Surprisingly, I feel like I watched more things this year than the last.

I’ll dive right into it… this one will be short.

What I Watched in 2023

Bubble (Anime Movie)

My year started good with this one.

Wednesday (TV Show)

Alright, I caved and watched Wednesday. And yes, it was good.

THG: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snake (Movie)

I think my expectations were high, even when I knew they shouldn’t be.

Memories of the Alhambra

Always nice to see Park Shin-Hye, she’s pretty.

Fruits Basket (2019)

The amount of time I spent and will spent in the future re-watching Fruits Basket, it’s not normal. I loved the story even when it’s so dramatic and traumatic. And the characters are awesome, too.

Fruits Basket (2001)

I just wanted it to be over. It was a complete disaster, and so different from the Manga, specially how they wrapped it up.

Jujutsu Kaisen

It’s been a ride to watch and continue to watch every week.

Love Again (Movie)

Sigh.

Disenchanted

Yes, I’m aware this movie is from last year but I hadn’t watched it.

Hocus Pocus 2

Very aware that it took me a year to watch, yes.

Megan

Shingeki No Kyojin

I almost forgot AOT the final episodes, or however it is styled. The final chapters of Attack on Titan. It was very hard to watch, and at the same time very moving.

Honourable Mentions

Mostly because I forgot for a sec…

Buddy Daddies (Anime)
Again My Life (K-drama)
Flower of Evil (K-drama)
My Happy Married Life (Anime)

Re-watched

Charmed
Gilmore Girls
Friends
Horimiya
DGB Super
The Hunger Games Trilogy

And I am positive that I’m missing a bunch of shows and movies, but these are the ones that I remember the most. 😆

Thank you for reading, dearies! And I hope your new year eve and day are great! 🎇😊

TBT: Gilmore Girls

“Well, you know my babbling capabilities are infinite.”

Hi, dearies! ☕

Wow, where do I even start with this one? Gilmore Girls is a freaking religion on its own, and if you’re a fan like me then you know that one little post won’t do it justice.

I re-watch Gilmore Girls at least once a year, it just happens, sometimes twice, skipping some episodes at times and others watching the whole thing.

Bubble

The story is set in Tokyo, after bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world. Cut off from the outside world, Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building.

Title: バブル (Hepburn: Baburu) – Bubble

Year: 2022

Where? Netflix. 📺

What is it? A movie. 📽️

Genres: Post-apocalyptic, YA, adventure.

Alright, so I sometimes do Anime related ones here as you might know. And Bubble deserved an entry.

It’s one of the best animated movies I’ve watched in the past three years. So charming, so heart throbbing and heartbreaking, and lovely and wowing, all at the same time.

What did I Watch this Year?

‘The most dangerous thing about Pandora is that you might grow to love her too much.’
Jake Sully

2022 Edition!

Hello, dearies! 💖

Almost the end of the year, and some of this time you think back to what you read, watched or did. Mostly you cannot remember or think it was not this year. For months I cannot remember what I did because it was a mesh of months for me.

But I can try to remember for you, and this top shows of 2022 that I watched.

Flashback: Downton Abbey (TV)

Happy Friday, dearies! ❤

Another week has gone by, and here we are with a new Flashback, this time for this amazing show that I do not get tired of re-watching.

Downton Abbey. Haven’t done a Flashback Friday in a while, so it deserves to be an incredible one, and I think I chose a good story and show. There are movies, yes, but this one is about the TV Show that aired from 26 September 2010 – 25 December 2015 on ITV. 📺

Classroom of The Elite

Students of the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School are given remarkable freedom—if they can win, barter, or save enough points to work their way up the ranks!

ようこそ実力至上主義の教室へ

Season 1 and 2

Author: Shōgo Kinugasa and illustrated by Shunsaku Tomose

Anime directed by Seiji Kish

Genres: Suspense, Psychological, Slice of Life, YA, Drama

Kon’nichiwa, dearies! ⭐️

I haven’t enjoyed an Anime in a while, but this one had me glued to the screen, and the best was that the second season had just aired this year, so I got to see both in one go, problem now is that I’ll have to wait for season 3. Or I can read the Light Novel and not wait for that, so I bought the first one, it’s waiting on my Kindle.

After saying that, let’s recap on Classroom of the Elite, an anime that makes you doubt everyone and start saying, repeatedly, don’t trust them.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

“I should do whatever I can to live. Am I supposed to just die? Is it a crime … to want to live?”

Original Title: 달의 연인 – 보보경심 려

Darui Yeonin – Bobogyeongsim Ryeo

Genres: Historial, Romance, Time Travel, Fantasy

Cast: Lee Joon-gi, IU, Kang Ha-neul, Kim San-ho, Hong Jong-hyun, Yoon Sun-woo, Byun Baek-hyun, Nam Joo-hyuk, Ji Soo

Hello, dearies! Happy Easter Week! 🐇

I wanted to do an entry on Moon Lovers since I finished it a while back because I fell hard for the story and the characters, and even though the finale was not my favourite, it was still a darn good drama.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’s name came to me while I was watching an episode of Knowing Bros (Ask Us Anything/Brother School), and IU and Lee Joon Gi were there as guests. It’s a great episode you should watch it.

The Idhun Chronicles Part 2

The Idhun Chronicles, the story we wished for years to become a realisation. Adaptation from Spanish trilogy Memorias de Idhún by Laura Gallego.

Where? Netflix.

Based on a Book? Yes.

For the review of the books, you can go here: Idhun’s Memories. 📙

Hello, dearies! It’s August of 2021, as in we are past the mid-year mark, as we are almost looking at Autumn in the eye, and I finally watched the second part of The Idhun Chronicles, I know it took me some time, but I already knew what it was about and where it was headed knowing the end of the book and all, and knowing that there are no more seasons or parts or nothing, so I was taking my time, and I had a lot of work, now I am a free bird, and can do other things.

I am not sure if you watched the first part of these cool animated series, but you probably should. It’s on Netflix, and you can read my review here:
