Japan Film Festival Online (JFF) runs 5th-19th June (noon JST, so 18th for many of us) 2024. Films available here https://watch.jff.jpf.go.jp/page/jffonline2024/
Two 10 episode drama series will be available for streaming from the 19 June until 2/3rd July (noon JST).

Please add or vote for your JFF Online 2024 favourites. Points are allocated based on the order you choose to add or vote for the films. i watch too many dramas figured out how to change vote order. See replies below. It can be finicky, took me three tries to get it to work but it does.

Use the section in the upper right corner to vote. It takes some time for votes to register so don't worry if you don't see yours in the list right away.

Discussion thread in the link under these words.
My custom list for the festival is in the link under these words. It and this voting list include all of the films except Jungle Emperor Leo which is anime and therefore excluded from MDL. Having seen it, I'm not the least bit bothered about not being able to vote for it here. Use comments if you want to rank it.
