1. Life Senjou no Bokura: Director's Cut
Japanese Movie - 2020
This whole thing was just amazing. Realistic most of the time, cute, and the start when they're young ohmygod so pure and cute.
It's not fluff fluff, but it is good. I did cry, but it is good and cuteThere is a series of this too but the movie version has a few added scenes (to my knowledge at least) and as it usual does, the movie version flows better.
Plot in a nutshell: Ito and Nishi meet while walking the sidewalk's white line, they just kinda bond immediately and be hella cute.

3. 30Sai made Doteida to Mahotsukai ni Narerurashi
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
This is just a feel good series, like when you just want to watch something light and sweet this is a prefect choice.
Slight angst but overall kind of fluffy. Didn't really care about the side couple, since I found Tsuge's character really annoying. It was cute tho.
Plot in a nutshell: Adachi, a kind, shy, precious human being, turns 30 and because he is still virgin he gets magical powers, he can read peoples minds by touching them. After getting used to it he realize it's actually pretty helpful as it helps him understand people more. When he touches Kurosawa he realize that they have feelings for him.

7. Pornographer
Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
Based on a manga with same name. More yaoi than bl and in some parts it does feel like a soft porn.
That being said I did like this, there's certain melancholy, it's definitely for more older audience. You won't get much fluff in this one. It's painful from time to time but not that much that it would hurt. There's pretty good chemistry between the actors. I'm kinda struggling how to rate is as there are elements which I didn't really like or appreciate but there were also things I really did like. There were parts when it was really sweet and I do like the acting on this one. So even if the plot isn't really that much and has some issues it still deserves higher rating from me in my opinion.
Plot in a nutshell: Kuzumi, a poor university student, crashes Kijima with his bike breaking his arm. Not being able to afford to pay compensation Kijima asks Kuzumi to be his writer since he can't use his arm. Kuzumi agrees but gets a bit shocked learning that Kijima writes porn.
Possible triggers: Non con elemets, certain amounts of toxic behavior

30. The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese
Japanese Movie - 2020

31. Saitankyori wa Mawari Kudokute
Japanese Movie - 2019
Welll, this is not a BL, this is porn. Like 80% porn, 19% tongue (boi I never knew tongues could be so gross) and 1% plot. And like 30% added traumas. Now I have no idea which version I watched but if it wasn't the noir one I'm legit scared.
They did have like 2min cute scene towards the end.
And the thing is this could have been like actually a good movie about the dark side of prostitution industry and all that, but it felt like they just wanted to do shit for the shock value and didn't even bother to give much thought about the plot.
I know there's 2 more movies and I know they are on my list but like maybe better notPlot in a nutshell: sex
Possible triggers: Violence, whatever they did to that ex host guy, biting someone's dick off, blood
-
32. Saitankyori wa Mawari Kudokute: Ame to Soda Mizu
Japanese Movie - 2020
I know what I said but I rarely listen to myself. Now I forgot the first half of this immediately and the second half was a bit better than the first movie. Also I learned a new word "ederacinism", didn't need to know that was a thing tho.
This isn't as gruesome as the first one but it sure still is pretty fucked up. And still yes, these could be pretty interesting movies were there little less dick biting and little more plot.Plot in a nutshell: Basically just laying out the "plot" for the 3rd movie. Porn without a plot.
Main Couple: past Haruto/Aoyama
Side dish: "I've been together with my bf ever since he raped me ^^)"Possible triggers: Rape, dick biting (apparently we love a good flashback and not just once), blood
-
33. Saitankyori wa mawari kudokute: rakka ryūsui
Japanese Movie - 2020
These definitely "work" best if watched back to back. They do connect all movies but since there has been so little actual plot it's pretty hard trying to remember it from the earlier movies. I'd say combined all 3 movies there has been like 4% plot and 36% sex and haunting shit. These really do feel more like a badly written kink/fetish fanfiction.
However this one had a small little gem in there which was the two henchmen
Plot in a nutshell: figuring out what really happened with Aoyama, porn and gore
Possible triggers: blood, the old but gold dick biting scene
