What I’ve Watched: Last Cinderella / ラスト シンデレラ | Spoiler Free Review

Hello!  I think we can all agree that it has been far too long since my last “What I’ve Watched”. Even though I have only done two of them, they are my most popular posts.  I decided to branch out into tv shows as well as films because I enjoy watching both!  However, as TV shows are quite long I thought I would just review the series as a whole rather than one by one.  If I were to do it one by one, I’ve have to set up another blog! Today I thought I would talk about Last Cinderella. The Plot: Women …

What I’ve Watched: Koizora/Sky of Love | Commentary, Screenshots and Review

When I had my old blog url, it’s easy to understand why I may have been unfollowed as quickly as I was followed when people realised that my blog url was a lie. (It will be true one day!) To make it up to y’all who have been disappointed (but who still stick around for the witty banter and megalulz <3) I decided that I would blog about the Japanese films that I have watched. Recently, I watched the film: Koizora/Sky of Love. I came across this film after searching around for a good first love/romance J-movie and this apparently …
