Asadora in Chronological Order
I've listed the dramas by year/time period mostly for reference but also to help me pick which one to watch next. To make it easier I'm labelling the ones with subtitles available with an (*). For more info on subtitles, check out my Asadora Resource.
All info comes from their respective pages on Japanese Wikipedia and this page https://www.nhk.or.jp/archives/bangumi/special/asadora/chronology/area.html on NHK's official asadora website. I've made some changes at my own discretion.
