Kamen Rider Hibiki & The Seven Senki [2005]

Synopsis :
Hibiki and Asumu are on their way to a Makamou attack on the beach. Once they arrive there, they see dozens of people running from the massive Orochi, a beast rumored to be the strongest Makamou ever created. Once they arrive, Hibiki walks towards the Orochi and transforms, but all of his attacks prove useless against Orochi. The situation is made even more dire when Hibiki jumps in the way of an attack meant for Asumu. Taking the full force of the attack, Hibiki passes out as the Orochi swims away, leaving a panicking Asumu to get help. Hibiki ends up in the hospital and Asumu begins blaming himself for Hibiki's injuries. Feeling useless, he begins helping at Tachibana's, going through dozens of books to try and discover a way to defeat the Orochi. Upon coming across a book with his name on it, Asumu sits down and begins to read what turns out to be the history of Takeshi, the Oni and the Makamou war.

I love this movie. It shows the history of Oni. It have interesting storyline. Well it have unexpected twist towards the end. I just love seeing another side of Hibiki and Asumu.


I just love seeing a lot of Oni at the same time. Each Oni have their own unique and funny personality. 

Overall, this movie is entertaining. I just love the plot unravel the important points one by one. This movie give out different vibe compare to the series. I read somewhere this movie is using a new director.

Anyway, with that I rate this movie 4 out of 5... :D

Kamen Rider Hibiki [2005]

Synopsis :
The Kamen Riders, known as Oni, battle man eating beasts called Makamou with "pure sound". One of the Oni, a man named Hibiki ends up having a teacher and apprentice-like relationship with Asumu Adachi. A young boy unsure of himself and is at a crossroads in his life as he transitions to high school, Asumu learns to be an adult through watching Hibiki and the other Oni as they all train together to hone their skills in fighting the Makamou and the homunculi aiding them. However, the sudden raise of Makamou numbers proves to be a prelude to an upcoming calamity.
Source : wiki

Kamen Rider Hibiki have interesting theme. It is about Oni that defeats Makamou. Well they didn't call themselves Kamen Rider. They are fighting using musical instruments. Well that is unique theme. So in this Kamen Rider, Makamou have existed for years and they have been fighting them for years and they even have organization that collect all information on Makamou.



Anyway, the storyline is kinda hard to understand. It takes time to understand the story. However as the story progress, the storyline become more interesting. 

You know at first the story is kinda boring but then I realized the story have so much moral value that make me think. Something that training will make you achieved your dream and etc. I never imagined I'm going to cry seeing character die. The script writing is so good that make me cry when one of the character die. 

I heard that the story changed writing team in the middle of the series. Well that is why the second part is kinda different. It doesn't have those kanji appearing. I love the kanji as it sort of match with the concept. Well then the are new character Kiriya that somehow appear to be hated. LOL.. I hate him.. He make Asumu more loveable LOL..

I just noticed that he is the same person in Sakurai Yuuto in Kamen Rider Den-O. This is the first time I'm seeing the same actor in different character in Kamen Rider franchise, :D LOL he have grown up!!

Anyway, this is one of unique and interesting Kamen Rider. I kinda disappointed that they didn't show the final battle that they keep on talking about. I don't even understand who is the lady and the guy who is like a leader among the Makamou. Well they suppose to reveal it all at least towards the ending.. Ermm.. 



Overall, this series have unique and interesting storyline. It full with moral values. However the storyline is hard to understand. With that I rate it 4 out of 5.. :D

The Martian [2015]

Synopsis :
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring "the Martian" home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible, rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return. Written by 20th Century Fox
Synopsis source : iMDb

At first this movie doesn't intrigue me to watch it. The storyline feels kinda boring. However at the beginning, this movie managed to make me want to know more. I become curious whether he can survive in the Mars that does not have oxygen, water and food. The more I watch this movie the more I can't wait to know more.

He seems to talks by himself but at least there are interaction with people on the Earth. LOL compare to Passengers this movie have more interaction. 

The ending is so satisfying. I love it. I love this movie. With that I rate this movie 5 out of 5.. I don't care if the stuff he talks about is impossible or rubbish. It is a movie not a documentary. So just enjoy it. :D

Kubo and the Two Strings [2016]

Synopsis :

This causes all sorts of havoc as gods and monsters chase Kubo who, in order to survive, must locate a magical suit of armor once worn by his late father, a legendary Samurai warrior.
Synopsis source : iMDb

Kubo is another interesting animation. Kubo have interesting and entertaining storyline. It is interesting watching the scenery and the magic. The flying paper is amazing. I love it. It have a great cinematography.

Another interesting fact is that Kubo is one of the animation that using stop motion. It means the animation is done manually frame by frame.. It really took a lot of effort doing almost 2 hours animation!!

Besides that I really love the beetle. He is a funny character. Without him this movie could be boring LOL..

I haven't read the novel or anything so I'm not going to comment on that. First of all, this movie shows a promising storyline. Even the trailer shows promising movie. However as the plot started to kick off, the movie become kinda blah.. It is hard to understand. The movie kinda rush and it have a lot of stuff being crammed in.  


However what I do like the scenery. Tim Burton make a great cinematography. Overall, this movie have interesting storyline but it kinda rush with all information have been crammed in. I enjoy watching it but this will be a movie that I will soon forgets. With that I rate this movie 3 out of 5.. :D

Beck [2010]


Synopsis :
A normal fresh year highschool kid found his daily basis life extremely boring, until one day he met a dog and the owner of it that leads him to a completely new life filled with passion within musical stuff.
Synopsis source : iMDb


This is the live action of anime and manga with the same name. I haven't read or watch the anime so this is going to be a new story for me.

This movie have interesting storyline. At the beginning it have a slow pace. However as the story started to progress, it become more interesting and entertaining. It have kinda simple yet some complicated storyline.

I love how the director mute Koyuki voice when he sang. It make the audience imagined that Koyuki have  a really great/perfect voice that stunt everyone.

Overall, for me this movie is really interesting and entertaining. I actually love the Evolution song xD. With that I rate it 4 and half out of 5.. :D

*wave Takeru Sato and Hiro Mizushima*

Synopsis source : asianwiki

This is the drama that in the hype right now. Everyone are talking about this drama. Even making wedding picture in Goblin theme. Well after watching this drama no wonder it in the hype. This drama have amazing storyline. The storyline is beautiful, eerie but heartwarming at the same time. 

What I like about this drama is the cinematography. It have amazing scenery. The drama keeps going back on the Joseon Era and back on the modern era. It was like seeing modern drama but we still get a peak on the Joseon era. Honestly in Korean drama, I'm more fans on the historical/fantasy drama that revolve around Joseon era. The modern drama doesn't appeal me much. However this drama have become one of my favourite. It have this complicated but beautiful storyline. It is amazing!!



Besides that, this drama is funny. I just love seeing the bromance between the Grim Reaper and the Goblin. They seems like 'I hate you but if you not here I'm gonna be lonely'. They are so funny. 



Sometimes they looks cool and another times they looks like an idiot LOL
Sunny, another important character. At first when I see her, she gives out mysterious aura. I never expect, she is one of the important character later on in the series.


So the next one is the love story between Eun Tak and the Goblin. Honestly I have a love hate in the romance between Eun Tak and the Goblin. Sometimes they are funny, sometimes they are sweet. So sweet than what I can endure. Sometimes it become draggy in their romance scene.. =.= Sometimes I love Eun Tak and sometimes she is so annoying and clingy. Well I can expect she can be clingy when she doesn't have anyone to count on but too clingy in my opinion. That is why I have the love hate between Eun Tak and their romance. Sometimes I love them sometimes it can be kinda annoying LOL.. However it still entertaining to watch. 



So overall, this drama is really good. No wonder it become a hype. Even the OST have matched perfectly with the drama theme. The OST have this slow, eerie and beautiful song. 

Overall, I love this drama and with that I rate it 5 out of 5.. This is one of the recommended drama. :D

I remember watching Finding Nemo as a kid. It is amazing animation. I never expected 13 years ago there are sequel. Well this movie finding dory is so sad.

This movie have interesting storyline. The ending is so great. It is so beautiful. I love it. Another great adventure. I just love seeing Dory friend Destiny and Bailey. They are funny duo. xD

Kamen Rider Kuuga [2000]


Synopsis :

Long ago, the Gurongi Tribe terrorized the Linto (リント Rinto) until a warrior named Kuuga appeared and defeated the Gurongi, sealing their leader within a cave. In present day, a multi-talented man named Yusuke Godai finds himself linked to the mysterious stoned belt that was found within the excavated cave as the Gurongi are resurrected and resume their murderous game on the descendants of the Linto, humanity itself.
It is up to Yusuke, along with the assembled Science Police, to use the various powers of Kuuga in order to stop and defeat the Gurongi Tribesmen from their continuous killing and ensure the happiness of others. However, as the endgame draws near, Yusuke learns that there is a horrible revelation behind Kuuga and the Gurongis' leader.
Source : wiki



Kamen Rider Kuuga. It have interesting storyline. Kinda familiar with Agito but with its own traits. I just love seeing Godai Yuusuke. He is one charming and happy-go-lucky person. I love seeing how the entire police force is joining forces with Kuuga. Previously, police force is usually is the one who being kept in the dark. With the entire police force is joining force and have their own methods to kill the enemies make an interesting combi.



However the naming for the enemies is too much number LOL... I just lost track who is which number.. Another thing that kinda annoys me is the enemies keeps on talking in different language with no translation. Well I think the final battle is just ok. I expect more. However the series fails to explain the background on where these Kuuga and the Gurongi coming from. Well there are one scene saying the previous Kuuga still alive until recently. I was hoping some flashback or something on what happen on the previous Kuuga.

Jean is one of my favourite character. He have a fluent Japanese accent.. :D

Even in the SP have mentioned movie, but surprising there are no movie o__O..  Anyway, even this series is kinda old, but it still entertaining. I rate it 3 and half out of 5.. :D

Here is Greenwood Live-Action [2008]

Synopsis :
It seems like 15-year-old Kazuya Hasukawa's life can't get much worse. Not only did his older brother marry Kazuya's first love, he brought his bride home to live with the family! Forced out of his own home, Kazuya enters an exclusive all-male boarding school, Ryokuto Academy. Unfortunately, a prestigious education is little compensation for getting stuck with the cross-dressing roommate from Hell...
Source : asianwiki

This is the live-action from the manga with the same name. I haven't read the manga but I watch the OVA... This live-action retain the same plot in the OVA but it not that funny compare to OVA. I don't know but I love the OVA more.

I love the storyline but I think it needs to be more funnier. At least this drama have more plot compare to OVA. However the manga will have more deeper plot compare with this drama..

With that I rate it 4 out of 5.. Well I basically love Here is Greenwood :D

Now that he's regained his powers and discovered that Adalind is pregnant with his child, Series 5 continues to follow Nick Burkhardt, a descendent of the Grimm family, as he copes with being a police officer while hiding his supernatural powers.
Source : RottenTomatoes

This season continue on the cliffhanger on the last season. Juliet have been killed. This season focus on Nick becoming a father. This season is more on the Black Claw organization and it have more complicated and interesting storyline. The storyline is actually quite good. It reveals what the secrets behind the keys and the Black Claw organization. It is more complicated storyline compare to previous one that is fighting bad Wesen.

For me, I love this season. We got a new insights of Nick that become a father. Well funny seeing he kinda in love with Adalind when in the previous season he hate her so much.

Overall, I really love this season and with that I rate it 4 out of 5.. :D
