Japan Sinks: 2020
I usually like apocalyptic movies when they’re done right…but this anime felt like a hot mess of storytelling. Japan Sinks: 2020 is a 10 episode anime series spearheaded by Netflix and based on a novel that was written in the 1970s.
Haikyu!! Seasons 1-3
Some people have already heard me RAVE about this anime, but I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this show and how it’s changed my view of sports anime forever.
Insecure Seasons 1-4
Insecure has been on my list of shows to watch for months, and I am so grateful that I am finally caught up with this comedic gem. I remember a particular scene in the first episode that made me laugh out loud, and I’ve been hooked ever since!
Queer Eye Season 5
Queer Eye and the Fab 5 are back again with all of the heart, the feels, the laughs, and most importantly, the incredible heroes. Season 5 was a solid season, and I liked the subtle tweaks that were made to keep the format fresh.
March Comes In Like A Lion Seasons 1 & 2
March Comes In Like A Lion is an adorable and sweet coming-of-age anime. The story centers around a reclusive high school boy, Kiriyama Rei, with a tragic past and who is a professional shogi player.
Bojack Horseman
Bojack Horseman is a show of superb quality that, for me, is an example of “never judge a book by its cover.” At first glance, this is an animated TV show comedy for adults, where the main character, Bojack Horseman, has a horse’s head on a human body.
Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever…laughed so hard at a TV show. HAHA ok that was an incredibly cheesy opening line, but Never Have I Ever is one of those comedic gems that can get you laughing and invested from the very first episode. It clicked all the right buttons for me…
Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020 Part 3
Part 3 is definitely binge-worthy and more interesting than Part 1! I liked it just as much as Part 2, but having Tokui off the commentary panel really changes the dynamics.
Schitt’s Creek (Seasons 1-5)
Like with most sitcoms, it usually takes me a couple episodes (or seasons??) to fall in love with it, and this was the case for me with Schitt’s Creek. When I first started watching, I found all of the characters pretty despicable and annoying (especially Alexis LOL), but looking back on it now, the cringe of the first few episodes really makes the character development in the later episodes all the more endearing!
Violet Evergarden
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched anime, but what an amazing show to transport me back! Violet Evergarden is gorgeously animated and a show that can draw you in at first glance from pure visuals alone (kudos to the acclaimed Kyoto Animation).
