Alice in Borderland Season 2 is a Must Watch!
Alice in Borderland season 1 was one of my favorite Japanese shows, and I always thought it was way better than the Squid Game (similar genres, but Alice in Borderland never got the same recognition globally).

Best Anime to Watch: Aoashi
One of my favorite recent anime is called Aoashi, and it is a soccer anime. There are a lot of similarities to Haikyuu, although I would say Aoashi is less dramatic and not as over exaggerated as Haikyuu (both good and bad). Aoashi is about a soccer player named Aoi Ashito and his rise throughout […]

Best Japanese TV Shows to Watch on Rakuten Viki: My Fair Prince
My Fair Prince is the latest Japanese drama I completed on Rakuten Viki. Apart from Dean Fujioka (one of the best Japanese actors around), My Fair Prince actually had a main cast of actors/actresses that I haven’t seen before in other shows. My Fair Prince does have a romantic storyline, but it also had other […]
