Well, I think, this short is way better than its average score shows. The story is about a 13 years old boy, who's fascinated by his older brother's basketball playing. Later he realizes, it's not only fascination, but a kind of attraction to him. We can call this as love.

Maybe you would find disgusting, how can a guy fall in love with his older brother. Don't forget the boy is only 13 years old, who discoveres his first sexual attraction, even sexual orientation. I think, we can also call this attraction as a kind of adoration, or wonder, he looks up on his brother, that he does his best in sports. I think, it's worth to watch it, and to see how does a young guy discovers his sexuality. I found the ending pretty interesting.

Absurd way to express your love

This is not the weirdest or grossest movie, which I've ever seen. It's just "Japanese". The guy doesn't tell to his boyfriend, what's his problem, but the boyfriend of course knows there's something is not fine. And when he realized that his boyfriend has a hair loss, he just started to lick his hair while he's having a bath...
I think the message is about no matter what's your illness is, I love you the way you are. It's sure an absurd way to express your love to your beloved one, but the essence is the expression of love.

And if I think of the movie like this, I don't think it's bad. The amateur camera usage is much rather problematic. Like a home made video... It's not acceptable for a movie, no matter how short it is or how beginner the staff was. That's basic.

Otherwise, who's that person, who never did anything weird with their beloved person in their private sphere? It's just got a publicity.

Cute and worth to watch

This is one of those series, which I've watched, because of the theme song. Because I'm a big JAM Project fan, I've heard the opening song of the series earlier, than I learned about this series. When I listened to the song, I felt like I have to watch this series, because this is the GREATEST Endoh Masaaki song EVER! I know many of his songs, so trust me.

About the series: It's about the Suzuki family, one day the son finds a strange vase, which he finds interesting, so he brings it home. Because the whole family finds it interesting, they keep it. But they don't know, that's a kind of gangway for the Eco Crushers to the real world. Their goal is to destroy the Earth with the environmental pollution. Thanks to this vase they have some kind of contact with the family, and when the family would do something which is against the environment, they just appear and encourage them to do it. The family is scared from them, but no worries, because the super sentai Kankyou Choujin Ecogainder appears and they defeat the Eco Chushers, who always learn a lesson about how to behave.
Fun fact: The last episode is also strongly referred to JAM Project. :) I considered that as a easter egg.

This is the story in nutshell. As you could read, nothing serious, it's been created for children to learn to live environmental friendly. But it's cute and worth to watch for anyone. And once more: The opening song is awesome!

Mini series with deep meaning

I really don't know why is this series has such low mean score. As the title uncovers, Lonely Connections is about how does it feel to be alone in a relationship. And if someone knows that feeling to be alone with their partner they might appreciate this mini series. Even the actings, the inner monologues were awesome. I felt the solitude of the guys. Like they aren't together, but next to each other.
There are also more symbols in the series of feeling of being alone. Like dancing alone or playing with that ball, but the acting makes this series really memorable. This is also a part of the reality. Much more people are alone in their relationship than you might think.
The Game Boys movies also gave me the feeling the homosexuality means something different in the Philippines, this Lonely Connection strengthened this. I'm gonna pay special attention to the Filipino gay series.
