8. Mask Ward
Japanese Movie - 2020
a crazy insanely camp movie. like a lot of production aspects of the movie in and of itself was sloppy but something about the tone and setting and the two leads is so alluring and so slay that i literally don't care. weirdly comforting to watch with hot food on a dark rainy day/night it's like a sibling tradition now

9. Konin Todoke ni Han wo Oshita dake desu ga
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
a crazy ride. rare sighting of kentaro in a romcom, we take what we can get ? i loved it but had to skip a lot of filler scenes. watch if u want a 50% silly 50% existential romcom about an INFP girl and an insanely autism-coded man finding love, eventually ?
