Review

Us Against The World shows the relationship between two schoolboys that started by admiring each other and fall in love with each other. We see what gossip does to a group of people. It makes people so hateful and breaks relationships off. One of the characters had someone force come out before he could be comfortable with his feelings and accepting himself. We see that the couple at the end are still together even though one of them will lose his popularity to the fact he fell in love. I wish there are more series like this where we see stories of the struggle of a group of people whether it the LGBT+ community, by the color of your skin or your gender. Us Against The World shows the innocent love between two people and the fights of the relationship. I like that fact that this is all true stories. The acting is suitable for people who are still so young. Would I watch it again? Yes, it only 10 minutes long and make you feel happy that their love is strong enough for the struggle they will face.

Review

I Go To School Not By Bus is a cute story about young love. It’s 35 minutes long and makes you want more of Ming and Hei’s love. The ending can signify in two different ways. I would watch it till the end of the video; it has an extra scene after the credits. The movie does have the whole Homosexuality is a sin talk in the film. The movie is very innocent, like in the way they show the characters. This movie has a significant meaning to it. Would I watch it again? Yes, it has just the right message, and the actors are awesome with making the theme go through.

What he did not expect were the feelings that went beyond friendship that emerged. It’s now Friday, and the end is approaching. But is it? Yuzuru may be mourning the inevitable, but what about Touji? Friday begins the end, but Sunday reveals all.  (Source)

Review

Seven Days: Friday – Sunday is the second part of the Seven Days movie series, and I feel like it ended on a sweet note. The movie has the overused plot pointer. The “they don’t communicate their feels which cause a disconnect.” The kisses have a lack of romantic feelings. However, you can look at it like this is their first real relationship which causes the whole am I doing this right feel. I want to say this movie has that innocent and first true love feeling to it. Their passion is what most people who want to fall in love want to have. Would I watch this again? Yes on a rainy day where I want to see the love between two people. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to feel a relationship in a short amount of time.

Movie Summary

Bright and early one Monday morning, Shino Yuzuru asks Seryou Touji out on a lark when they run into each other at the school gate. Seryou, who’s immensely popular, has the odd habit of going out with anyone who asks him out first at the beginning of the week, then promptly dumping them at the end of it. “Anyone” apparently includes male upperclassmen like Shino, and as a boyfriend, Seryou is perfect–unfailingly thoughtful and kind. Shino, obviously, has no intention of being in a serious relationship with Seryou. (Source)

Genre

Review

Seven Days: Monday – Thursday is the first part of the Seven Day movie series. Seven Days: Monday – Thursday is a sweet and innocent movie that shows the emotional part of the relationship. You start to fall in love with the main couple in the film. The ending is a cliffhanger because there is a sequel. The one thing that the summary gets wrong is that Seryou is not the one doing the dumping it the girl he dates that drop him. Seryou does have some drama with his brother’s on and off again girlfriend. This movie showed in Seryou’s point of view of the relationship. You start to see him fall in love with Shino. Would you watch it again? Oh yeah, it shows more of the build-up of a relationship before doing physical things like kissing and holding hands. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch something that is more developed in a relationship. I would warn that the kiss is awkward.

Review

HIStory2: Boundary Crossing is realistic to the lives of teenagers where they do have to balance out the responsibilities of school, work, and sports. HIStory2: Boundary Crossing starts where you have the bad boy getting noticed by the volleyball captain and manager because of his high jump. The series begins with the funny and determined captain into convincing the bad boy into joining the team by bothering him. He later joins the volleyball team starting the main plotline. It’s a comic series to watch and talks about romance. There is a real-life moment where they talk about dating someone who is leaving high to go to college. It has its cheesy moments, but it enjoyable. There are two plots arrive in here. I would say this series is too short. I feel that if the series had additional episodes, it would have more process on both relationships and the characters. The acting is more convincing than most series I have seen. Would you watch it again? I will mostly watch it again to refresh my memories since there is going to be a sequel. I have heard a few times it going be a movie or just another season. We will have to wait and see.
