After the RainJapanese MovieLyrical, exquisitely craftedThis is one of the most touching films I have seen. The acting is excellent. The direction is precise. The story line is compelling. The cinematography enhances the story at every turn. The characters are compelling and beautifully embodied by the actors. It is cleverly written, with an arc that joins the end to the beginning. Rain is a character, framing many of the dilemmas. My reading of the title is that the real story starts at the end of the film. I watched this on a plane travelling from Europe to Australia. Three times.

"School-Live (Movie)" Original SoundtrackOriginal Soundtrack (Music by Shu Kanematsu)Absolutely amazing!!!Absolutely stunning soundtrack !!! I know the anime series of School Live, I saw the trailer of the live movie 2019 on YouTube and I searched the net who sold the cd, I immediately found CDJapan, in six days it arrived in Italy, well cared package in perfect condition. The music is as beautiful as I wanted it, alternating between soft and action, a really perfect sound. I'm glad I took it, for lovers of the Zombie anime genre, I recommend it. 5 stars!!!

T Frontier
Original VideoT FrontierOriginal VideoPersevering Until VictoriousSatori Fujinami is perfect as superheroine T Frontier. I really liked how she was cute but very normal in her civilian clothes and brilliantly heroic and strong in her costume. I also liked how she persevered through adversity and ultimately was victorious while doing the right thing. Fantastic!!!

T Frontier Mushi no Wakusei Hen
Original VideoT Frontier Mushi no Wakusei HenOriginal VideoSuper-Cute Super-HeroineSumire Nagai is wonderful as superheroine T Frontier. I was really happy once she was able to defeat the bothersome insect villain who literally bugged her. It was unfortunate that she and her cute costume got dirty during the action but then again a hard earned victory is all the more sweet. Highly enjoyable!!!

Quartet!Japanese MovieBrilliantBrilliant with just one small criticism and that being the usual from me... no English Subtitles!!! Why do I bother getting Japanese dvds if I can't speak, write, or understand the language I hear you eagerly think ( More like _ _ _ _ _ _ off Damon, well as you're so bothered I continue to watch because in my own humble opinion Japanese actors/actresses simply are the best, and I'm not on about fighting, but acting in general, so more subtitles please

Shonen Merikensack Standard EditionJapanese MovieOMG!!!Okay, not English subs...Please put them in This movie is in my humble opinion the very second best movie Aoi Miyazaki, has appeared in so far, obviously her very best being Heavenly Forest Tada, kimi wo aishiteru (2006) Which for some reason I am unable to buy as I live out of Japan!!!! Getting back to where we were Shonen Merikensack, took me back over 30 years, to the day when my hair changed colour every gig attended lol ok, I did understand the spoken worked, but the music is amazing and what little Ms Aoi Miyazaki permits to be done to her in the name of ART, she deserved an oscar without a shudder of a delt, the other lads apart from being crazy, they're all brilliant. Now this is my humble opinion, don't take my word for it, buy a copy and see what you think

Let's Go, Jets (Cheer Dan - Joshi Kosei ga Cheer Dance de Zenbei Seihashichatta Honto no Hanashi -)Japanese MovieWoWWoW this is an amazing movie, it is electrifying almost from the very first minute Suzu Hirose, was/is simply breathtaking, her body language shoots way way over her spoken word, this is pretty lucky coz I don't know a single Japanese word...yet, she easily out achieved any actress above her 19-20 YOA, I realise that this is discrimination, but if she could speak English, she could very easily be world class second to none

Koi to Onchi no HoteishikiJapanese MovieWhat a SurpriseFirst surprise at the speed the DVD arrived Second surprise, the quality of picture, it has to be one of the best pictures I have One and only let down...no English Subtitles, but it is a Japanese programme after all and its made for a Japanese viewer, not a bloody miserable foreigner such as yours truly!!!lol

Ano Koro Eiga Santora Series Shiawase no Kiiroi Handkerchi (The Yellow Handkerchief) Eiga Original Ongaku ShuOriginal SoundtrackYellow HandkerchiefFor the critically acclaimed comedy romance film THE YELLOW HANDKERCHIEF, Masaru Sato provided a delightful little score that is bright and peppy with some very serious but not overly dark passages. The fully orchestral score itself does not “sound” particularly Japanese in nature but it does contain one ethnic source cue as the final track.

March Comes in like a Lion [Part 1] [Regular Edition]Japanese MovieNice additionJust turned the movie off, it was good, again would of been a lot better for me with English Subtitles, you know, it's quite strange how some of Japanese/Korean/Chinese movies have subtitles, but others don't anyone know the answer?

Say "I love you." (Sukitte Iinayo) [Regular Edition]Japanese MovieBrilliant just one small thingLove this movie so much, just one rather small bad point for me, on YouTube this plays with English Subtitles, however this doesn't, I realise I was forewarned so my own fault, but love this had to have copy lol

Furefure Shojo NavigateJapanese Movie (Making et al.)amazingI realise that this is just about the making of the movie Cheer, cheer, cheer, starring Yui Aragaki, amongst others. I realised that it was a physical movie, but I didn't quite realise just how physical the prep was put in. I watched the movie straight after and I can see how and why the movie is so amazingly good...one downer, no English subtitles lol

Hideaki Anno Live Action Film Collection 1998-2004Japanese MovieGreat collection of Anno's filmsIncluded in this wonderful box set are all three live action films made by Hideaki Anno before Shin Godzilla: Love & Pop, Shiki-Jitsu and Cutie Honey. Also included are two great short films. Contrary to the product information, English subtitles ARE in fact also included! I highly recommended this box to every fan of Anno's work.

Shodo Girls: Blue Blue SkyJapanese MovieBrilliantThis Movie / DVD is brilliant, just one down side, bo English Subtitles, on YouTube the same movie has bright clear English Subtitles. The movie itself I realise that it's an all round family movie and it works in every section, the child actors make the movie so good. Also the DVD has some extra's which looks great, but once again no subs
