While I know that most people think baseball is a boring sport (and in many cases I agree with this statement), the MLB Playoffs are another story. In my opinion, there is just as much drama, if not more, than a playoff basketball or football game. Today, game 7 of the Los Angeles Dodgers vs.…
Tokyo Tarareba Girls is a manga that was recently turned into a TV show. I read multiple reviews saying that while the show was good, it was toned down for TV and that the manga is even better. I find this a bit surprising, as I found the show enjoyable to watch, but maybe one…
Great Big Story is a YouTube channel that was launched by CNN in 2015. They have over 2500 videos that they’ve released, with most of the videos ranging anywhere from 2-10 minutes. Unfortunately, there has been recent news that Great Big Story is being shut down, which means there will not be any new videos…

Mischievous Kiss 2 is a sequel to the series I wrote about before, Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo. If you already watched the first season, the main cast is the same in the 2nd season. However, the plot and feel of Mischievous Kiss 2 is a little different than the first season. The show is…
Enola Holmes is a movie on Netflix, and it is an adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes series. It has been the #1 watched thing on Netflix in the US for the past couple of days, and it has a great cast including Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, and Sam Claflin. While I did enjoy watching…
99 Days with the Superstar is a TV show on Amazon Prime, but it is unique because it features a Korean female lead and a Japanese male lead. While the show is considered a Japanese drama because it takes place in Japan and most of the dialogue is Japanese, the diversity of the cast makes…
