  Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life 2016

  ★★★ Watched 16 Feb 2025

  Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (2016) – ★★★☆☆

  Nostalgia? Yes. Satisfaction? Not really.

  Reunion-nya Gilmore Girls ini kayak ketemu teman lama yang dulu seru, tapi sekarang rasanya… beda. Masih ada momen-momen hangat, dialog cepat khas mereka, dan vibes Stars Hollow yang comforting. Tapi Rory? Girl, what are you doing?? Karakternya berasa lost banget. Ending-nya? Controversial.

  Masih worth it buat yang kangen Lorelai & Emily’s sass battle, tapi jangan expect the same magic as the OG series.

  The Wind Rises 2013

  ★★★★ Rewatched 15 Feb 2025

  the wind rises (2013) – ★★★★☆

  this is not just a love story—it’s about dreams, passion, and the weight of reality. jiro horikoshi is the ultimate introvert dreamer, someone who chases perfection even when the world is falling apart. romance-nya soft, melancholic, but deeply emotional, dan vibes-nya? slow, poetic, and nostalgic.

  visuals-nya breathtaking, soundtrack-nya hauntingly beautiful, tapi pacing-nya bisa terasa lambat kalau kamu lebih suka cerita yang fast-paced. still, if you love movies that make you reflect on life, dreams, and sacrifices, this one hits deep.

  Tamako Love Story 2014

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Feb 2025

  tamako love story (2014) – ★★★★☆

  this is what happens when two awkward people fall in love but don’t know how to express it. tamako & mochizou’s dynamic? so soft, so shy, so painfully wholesome. vibes-nya calm, nostalgic, and full of young love innocence.

  story-nya simple but heartwarming, animation-nya gorgeous, dan ending-nya? so worth it. kalau suka sweet, slow-burn romance, this one’s a must-watch!

  Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between 2022

  ★★★ Rewatched 15 Feb 2025

  hello, goodbye, and everything in between (2022) – ★★★☆☆

  this is not your typical fairytale romance—it’s about love, endings, and tough choices. claire & aidan’s relationship feels real, not all rainbows & butterflies, and that’s what makes it hit differently.

  the chemistry? cute but kinda rushed. the emotional depth? solid, but could’ve been stronger. overall, a bittersweet, realistic take on young love & goodbyes.
