Anime ● Review: Puraore! Pride of Orange
Lack of hockey action or any appreciation for it. Doesn’t work as a slice-of-life anime either. Lost opportunity.

Solid coming-of-age, slice-of-life romance. Can argue about plotting and pacing but it is emotionally realistic.

Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.

K-drama ● Review: Strong Girl Nam-soon
Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.

Fantasy coming-of-age drama set in a town that is stuck in time. Unfocused and under-developed. But looks very good. Worth viewing.

Love story with parallel universes told in two films. Good production. Pacing is mostly good but a little clumsy at times. Worth viewing.
