haven’t seen you for a long time!

@leedsandbluebird: My day begins when the day ends and people rush home. The business hours are from 12 midnight to about 7 am. Although there are only a few fixed menu items, whatever the boss can cook will be cooked for you. Listening to the familiar opening words and melody, the camera passes by the bustling Shinjuku and enters the narrow and pyrotechnic alleys. Everything is the same as before.

The first episode of “Late Night Diner” was broadcast in 2009, and it has been 7 years since the most recent episode. The sixth story begins in 2021. The boss, who has a scar on his face, wears a mask. The store is equipped with partitions and hand sanitizer. Because “you don’t go out unless necessary”, there are no customers. The boss decided to close the shop temporarily, but regular customers showed up one by one, lamenting about the dishes they wanted to eat at the notice in front of the door. Some even made wood carvings of the boss’s image, hoping that he would return soon and reopen the shop. Friendly greetings such as “Long time no see” and “You’re still alive” were particularly touching during those painful days.

This season, the original cast returns and gathers together in the first and last episodes to surprise and comfort fans of the series; it does not fall into the rut of consumerism. In the middle episodes, new guests and new stories will be added, depicting the late-night canteen that belongs to 2026, making people miss and look forward to the healing time accompanied by delicious food.

Every bullet has its own destiny.

@ Pan Yuhan: The timeline of the second season is placed six months after the first season, and Reese, who became the most wanted criminal, is still missing. Reese was still alive. After killing his friends, he drifted alone on the sea and finally came to a hunting area in Mozambique. He protects the animals around him every day, and his days are rarely peaceful. Then the CIA appears again. They are willing to remove Reese’s wanted list, as long as he can solve the newly emerged al-Qaeda terrorist organization, because it contains Reese’s former teammates.

The second season of the series based on Jack Carr’s “True Believer” is finally here after four years. Compared with the first season, Reese’s revenge for his wife and daughter, this season’s Reese is more like looking for his lost self. After completing his revenge, he is like a dandelion, living and working passively. Protecting wild animals seems meaningful, but he still cannot see his life clearly. As Pratt said in the interview, “The body is not dead yet, the spirit is ready to let go.” The environment caused by brain cancer is more like a reality that he cannot avoid.

The sequel, which is still excellent in its fighting scenes, also has more thoughts on life this time, which is quite rare.

A vampire’s marriage never ends.

@ Pan Yuhan: Regarding Max’s passionate love affair with his girlfriend Emma in the past two months, colleagues felt something was wrong because Emma had never revealed anything about her family to Max. Max is a staff member of the US Social Security Administration. When he was working that day, he discovered that a family had been receiving welfare benefits since the 1950s. Suspecting that someone had stolen social security benefits, he went to the house to investigate according to the address, but unexpectedly discovered that the heads of the household, Charles and Liz, were a pair of vampires, and Emma was the daughter of that family.

Different from the earth-shattering love that was popular in vampire themes in the past, the theme of “Forever Yours” is a bit biased. It revolves around Charles and Liz, a vampire couple who are going through a period of marital burnout. The two were also a loving couple many years ago. In order to be together forever, Liz took the initiative to accept becoming a vampire. They adopted a child and had a sweet relationship, but when this relationship lasts for more than a hundred years, problems will arise in even the most beautiful marriage. Liz is tired of moving regularly because no one else will notice that they are immortal, and Charles regrets that his career is not moving forward because of it.

The briskly paced series explores the pains and joys of eternal life in a comedic way, which is very entertaining.

So what if I am a rookie lawyer? I have the courage to challenge big law firms.

@ Pan Yuhan: Rudy received a letter today. The letter writer claimed to be his nephew, and sent him a dollar to wish him a happy birthday, and specifically explained: “A dollar is worth much more than meets the eye.” Based on the numbers on the dollar, they quickly deciphered the meaning of the letter, “HELP ME.” It turns out that this letter from a juvenile detention center was written by a 12-year-old boy who was sentenced to three years in prison for hacking into the school network. But for a minor, this sentence is obviously unreasonable. In cases related to minors, all interrogations and files will be blocked. Rudy’s battle will not be easy.

The second season of “The Rainmaker” started with a very fascinating case, and with a group of big guys eager to bring Rudy into their ranks, Rudy’s decision, which is just a small thing to try to shake up a big tree, is particularly precious. That is not just a young man with no background trying to challenge the system and policies, it is also what a person with conscience should do. As it is said in the play, a good litigator is essentially an excellent speaker. Their greatest skill is to forge words into a sharp sword and cry out for justice.

No wonder Jason is so hard to kill!

@ Pan Yuhan: Single mother Pamela raised her son Jason by working in the kitchen at the Crystal Lake training camp. In order to help Jason, who has a deformed head, better integrate into society, Pamela signed up for this training camp for Jason. Just because of his physical disability, Jason suffered all kinds of cynicism, and then he drowned. Pamela didn’t want to believe Jason’s drowning. She firmly believed that as long as the body was not found for a day, her Jason would still be alive. After all, Jason had a wonderful bond with water. She kept this secret, hoping that Jason would come home one day. Until that day, two people claiming to be police officers broke into the house. In order to protect herself, the seemingly gentle Pamela took up arms.

A24 As soon as you take action, you will know whether it is there or not. These killings that took place in Crystal Lake trace the original story of the “Friday the 13th” series of killers. The killing scenes in the series are unambiguous, bloody and large-scale. They are even more terrifying when set against the retro and old-school style. The arrangement of the passing line between Pamela and her son Jason is also very meaningful. It turns out that Jason was not born cruel, and Pamela was not born a murderer. They were forced to a desperate situation because only in this way could they survive.

A romantic epic set in the Scottish Highlands.

@ Pan Yuhan: The story of the second season follows the ending of the previous season. Brian and Alan decide to elope, but a sudden Jacobite rebellion interrupts their plans. Brian, who had to accept the call, returned to the Fraser family to join the war; on the other side, Henry and Julia finally reunited and were finally able to use the standing stone to travel back to their time together, but fate really likes to play tricks. Due to the pursuit of the Grant family, Henry, who was stabbed, returned to 1924 alone. He was seriously injured and was judged to have war injuries, so he was imprisoned in a mental hospital, while Julia and the child still stayed in 1715.

As a spin-off of “Outlander”, the love story centered around the parent protagonists Jamie and Claire’s parents still highlights the love history across time and space, and the two romantic stories that took place in the Scottish Highlands still touched the hearts of countless fans. They were obviously just two lovers in love, but due to clan hatred, family responsibilities and the turmoil of the times, they were forced to separate, and they were also forced to bear a lot. Like a Scottish minor tune, it is desolate and vast. You seem to see the highlands and canyons, ancient and melodious.

Strong people never complain about the environment ~

@ Pan Yuhan: Xiao Longnu used to work at Honghu Law Firm. As one of the most high-end local law firms, Xiao Longnu has a bright future. It’s just that everyone has forgotten that Xiao Longnu, who has a cheerful personality, is a righteous person. Because she couldn’t stand the behavior of the law firm, she broke up with her friend and best friend Li Xin and her master. After resigning, she went directly to a certain street in Shenyang and opened an office above a public bathhouse. She didn’t care about the ridicule of her peers, and formed the Justice League on this street with her colleague Miaomiao who voluntarily followed her, Dong Beihu, the son of the bathhouse owner, and Luo Zhi, who had failed the law exam many times.

This legal comedy is not sophisticated. It does not have any high-end office buildings, elegant decorations or elegant clothes. It is just a group of people in an old house who want to do practical things for the people and seek the greatest benefits for ordinary bosses. Therefore, in this story full of Northeast flavor, even if it is a legal case, there is a strong warmth in the fireworks. For example, the first case that Xiao Longnu was responsible for at the beginning was to successfully ask for wages for a low-level female employee who had not signed a contract. This is not a big economic project that can easily cost tens of millions, but it has a real salary of 20,000 yuan.

From now on you will also be a little dolphin.

@ Liz与青鸟: After the birth of his lively and lovely brother Charlie, Finn felt that his home was the happiest family, especially his grandma and grandpa’s home in Dingle, Ireland. For Finn, it was the happiest place in the world. They would run along the vast coastline, and grandpa would sail the boat to take them to see the star dolphin Finji. But now my father and mother often quarrel, and my mother no longer associates with grandpa, and they even want to separate, as well as the brothers Finn and Charlie. So Finn ran away with Charlie. They took trains, buses, ferries, drove and even rode horses. They encountered many difficulties and made new friends. It was not until they arrived in Dingle that the audience could see the true story clearly.

The film uses episodic techniques, and the bad present and the happy past are intertwined in a contrasting form. The suspense that caused the family atmosphere to plummet is slowly revealed during the journey and memories. 500 miles is the distance from Sheffield to Dingle and the distance between the hearts of family members. Finn’s road adventure without hesitation, accompanied by Ireland’s beautiful cliffs, beaches and sea, has also become a redemption journey to save his family and reconcile himself. Although the narrative design is far from novel, and the core of the expression is not shocking, the universal and sincere emotions contained in it are particularly touching at the moment it breaks out.

Football is a game of 11 individuals.

@SHY: Aoi Aoi, who was poached from Ehime to the youth team of Tokyo City Esperion Club, went through a series of setbacks and growth, and was finally promoted from the B team to the A team. Even though they are in the same age group, there is a huge difference in strength. Feeling the gap again, Wei Ren tries to keep up with his predecessors. As he makes his debut in the U-18 league, can he spread his wings and fly high in a field surrounded by strong opponents?

After the conclusion of another World Cup, this animation, which was always slightly behind schedule, started airing as scheduled. Compared with the Japan High School Football Championship that most people are more familiar with, the Takamatsu Cup U-18 Super League, in which high school teams and club youth teams participate together and adopt a home and away game and promotion and relegation system, is the highest level high school competition in Japan. Wei Ren, who transformed from a forward to a full-back, used his vision to make up for his physical deficiencies and thought about the most suitable actions until the accumulated experience turned into instinct.

As Coach Fukuda said in the play, the youth team must prioritize “cultivation” over “winning.” It is the responsibility of the youth training coach to not only focus on the geniuses who have leapfrogged the league, but also on the down-to-earth ordinary players and even the frustrated ones who have been eliminated from the career path. It is the responsibility of the youth training coach to guide everyone’s growth. Relying on the outstanding group portraits to present the collision of different tactics and panoramically displaying all aspects of football, this football animation that knows the most about football is a green show that fans cannot miss.

Next, what else do you want to give me?

@SHY: As a member of the badminton club, freshman Inegata has a crush on Chinatsu Kanano, a senior from the basketball club whom he meets every morning at morning practice. By chance, the two begin living together, and their relationship is warming up day by day. Taking into account the fulfilling club activities and campus life, playing the exciting march of youth, an unforgettable new story begins around Daxi and Chinatsu, who are aiming for the national competition.

Continuing the ending of the first season that left many viewers disappointed, Daxi embarked on the first formal date that he had longed for. He was planning on confessing his love to Chinatsu, but things always went wrong at critical moments. It seems that the sweet and sour emotional tug will continue for a while. Although the later evaluation of the original work was unsatisfactory, this season’s animation, which only has 12 episodes, still has wonderful parts in the adaptation, and the refreshing painting style creates a pleasant atmosphere. I believe the evaluation will be on the standard.

Around the new characters who are somewhat annoying at first sight, we weave conflicts and reconciliations with delicate strokes and capture subtle emotional changes. Resolve the long-standing worries, add fuel to the emotional line separated by a layer of window paper, combine the pursuit of sports and the two-way love, and write a positive and uplifting story of youth growth. If you have been emotionally invested in the unfolding of the first season, I believe that this box that carries the memories of youth can still shine with enough brilliance.

The duplicity is the most annoying, the self-evident one is the favorite.

@SHY: Ranma Saotome, a young boy who fell into a drowning spring and turned into a changed body, and Akane Tendo, a girl who was arbitrarily engaged by her elders, continue to live under the same roof. Liangya, who is apprenticed to Kelun, practices powerful blasting points. Shanpu, who never gives up, is still looking for opportunities. Old characters and new characters appear one after another, and a new chapter opens in the chaotic daily life.

There are often remakes of anime, but it’s rare to see remakes that get better than the last season. Atsuko Ishida, who had participated in the previous version of the animation, came out as the main animator for the third season. She joined forces with the MAPPA creative team to create dynamic and powerful paintings. The steady production level is not inferior to the first-line masterpieces. Director Konosuke Uda has thoroughly grasped the essence of the manga, choreographed cute and relaxed performances, witty jokes and hearty fights without delay, and the viewing experience has been improving all the way.

Rumiko Takahashi’s whimsical ideas that have always been imitated are still intact and will not be out of date. She makes use of the far-leading gender transformation setting to weave a great brawl between gods and men with unique skills. In the seemingly chaotic situation, the relationship between Ranma and Akane becomes more and more clear, and their hidden feelings are almost exposed, and they perform a particularly cute flirting. Breathing vitality into a classic work, this nonsensical romantic comedy is an old wine in a new bottle, and its quality can still be beat in the new era.

Why is there a werewolf exposing himself?

@ Pan Yuhan: The familiar Adros Castle welcomed another 21 guests. They sit in the church and two mysterious men with masks appear along with the coffin. Then, Claudia emerges from the coffin. Although they were talking about the rules of the game, because of this special scene, it was more like performing some kind of ritual. This is how this season of Betrayal: Celebrity Edition begins. The rules have not changed. During the day, everyone plays the game together. At night, the betrayer hiding among them will take advantage of the darkness to write a death list. Of course, the most important thing is to find out who is the traitor hiding among them.

As familiar as the rules are these stars. Mike Sheen, Bella “Bear Girl”, Richard E. Grant, etc. are all very familiar faces to viewers who are used to following dramas. But here’s the problem. These celebrities are not only old acquaintances in the eyes of the audience, but they are also strangers to each other. So when faced with questioning from his friends, Richard exposed himself… and was directly called “the TV event of the year” by The Guardian.

The reality show brought together by comedians is full of laughs, and it’s also meaningful to watch celebrities work hard to win a donation of 100,000 pounds for their favorite charity.

[电影] Electric Venus @ Leeds and the Blue Bird: In Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, Susanna’s “Electric Venus” in the Vaudeville Circus brought the audience the experience of love at first sight through electric shock and kissing. Not only did she not make a few dollars a day, but her hands and feet were scarred by the electric shock. She met Antoine, a painter whose lover died, in the medium’s cabin. Susanna pretended that the medium’s healing allowed Antoine to paint again, but the two of them got deeper and deeper into this role play. The movie is just like the title brings to people. It is a love story with a touch of light fantasy in painful reality. The process is full of twists and turns, and the ending is also somewhat unexpected. The characters in the film are sad, deplorable, hateful and cute at the same time.

[韩剧] My guilty person @ Pan Yuhan: In order to investigate the death of a female company secretary, Jiang Zaixi, a policewoman from the special forces, disguised herself as a man and successfully applied to be the accompanying secretary and bodyguard of the suspect Yin Yijun. Yin Yijun is the third chaebol, flamboyant and arrogant, leading the police to identify him as the real culprit in the case. The drama adapted from the novel and webtoon of the same name is a romance wrapped under the surface of the criminal investigation drama. The setting that the female protagonist is more capable than the male protagonist and the male protagonist is more delicate than the female protagonist is more interesting.

[美剧] The First Diplomat Season 4 @Leeds and the Bluebird: The crisis caused by the Russian submarine and the nuclear bomb it carried has not been completely resolved off the coast of the United Kingdom. The United States sent the navy to prevent a greater disaster from happening. World peace always seems to be in danger in the game of great powers. This drama still maintains the characteristics of fast pace and dense information. It explores the game between politicians, the power relationship in marriage and the emotional entanglement. The two are indistinguishable from each other in the main story line. The climax of the drama is reached at the final leaders’ summit. It has the look and feel of a real-life political thriller and a drama that combines reality.
