Dorama of the Year 2000-IV Fall - Style!

July 06, 2025
•
Only six pieces again, and no masterpiece again. I absolutely refuse to make only title that I initially finished winner by default this time though. Had to give both remaining contestants another few episodes to decide. Between family half-comedy and not especially interesting workplace comedy I like latter more as kids problems get tiresome with time - winner is Style!

July 03, 2025
•
No masterpieces again since number of pieces is still too small. Densetsu no Kyoshi is the only drama this season that I watched to the end and that was inventive enough that I considered it as a masterpiece for some time.

Dorama of the Year 2000-I Winter - Omiai Kekkon

July 02, 2025
•
For my convenience purposes from now on excluding non-translated drama except special cases in addition to my usual genres exclusion or size becomes totally out of control by the end of 2000s. Failed to finish any drama this season except for taiga, so have to choose among the worst. Only jdrama are of good enough quality still, so among those I'd choose old-fashioned marriage comedy Omiai Kekkon .

Anime of the Year 2025-II Spring - Ling Long 2nd Season

June 30, 2025
•
Chinese anime dominates this season. Ling Long 2nd Season is a long awaited sequel. Yujin Xingzhe is a very promissing survival adventure in an unusual world, and I'd put even that over the only honorary Japanese masterpiece of the season - Kowloon Generic Romance .

January 02, 2025

Takeda Shingen (1988) made a great impression on me while Tokugawa Ieyasu (1983) felt like a firm masterpiece that filled quite some blanks for me. I think I'll just rate everything not translated as 6 for convenience purposes and inability to evaluate, won't comment on those for the same reason except first few when I tried to squeeze smth.

December 28, 2024
•
One of the best seasons of Kingdom 5th Season is the definite winner followed by more sequels Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun 2nd Stage and Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e 3rd Season . Ore dake Level Up na Ken is a honorary mention as it was mildly amusing despite multiple evident flaws. Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata is an inspiring start with much potential.

Best season ever. Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su was perfect and defeated unbeatable Goblin Slayer II (only because it's a sequel). Saihate no Paladin: Tetsusabi no Yama no Ou sequel left better impression than original. And there is a whole scattering of minor masterpieces - Boushoku no Berserk , 16bit Sensation: Another Layer and Jin Zhan Fashi .
