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). Season 2 of Alice in Borderland was a continuation of season 1, which had left off on a bit…

Best Anime to Watch: Classroom of the Elite
Classroom of the Elite is an anime that was recommended to me by the Cruncyhroll algorithm, and it did not disappoint. Classroom of the Elite is a short anime right now (still coming out, but only 2 seasons and 24 episodes that have been released), so it is a good time to start before season…

Best TV Shows to Watch on Netflix: Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a recently released anime on Netflix based off of the popular video game Cyberpunk. I never was able to finish Arcane (the animation series based off the video game League of Legends), but I would imagine it is a somewhat similar concept.

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…

Japan and most Asian countries aren’t known for their fantastic work cultures; Japan is known for making its workers do overtime, not take too much vacation time, and…

Best Japanese Shows to Watch on Netflix: The Journalist
Netflix has been producing a bunch of Asian shows recently, whether it be K-dramas, anime, or Japanese dramas. The latest Japanese drama released is a show called The Journalist. I was unaware that The Journalist was based on some true events that happened during the pandemic, but I found it intriguing nonetheless. Apparently though, The…

Best Anime to Watch on Netflix: Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer is one of, if not the most popular anime series right now. The first season is available to watch on Netflix already, but the movie and the second season haven’t been uploaded yet (they just came out a couple of months ago). When I first started watching Demon Slayer, I wasn’t quite sure…

Best Japanese TV Shows to Watch: Nobunaga Concerto
Nobunaga Concerto is the perfect drama if you like Japanese history and historical figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc. Even if you don’t know anything about Japanese history though, it is definitely still possible to enjoy watching the show (I personally know very little about Japanese history, but still found Nobunaga Concerto very…
