Terrace House (テラスハウス) è un franchising di reality show in Giappone. La prima serie dello spettacolo era anche conosciuta come “Boys × Girls Next Door”. È andato in onda sulla Cool TV di Fuji Television dal 12 ottobre 2012 al 29 settembre 2014 per otto stagioni. Dopo l’enorme successo, è stato rilasciato un film indipendente come continuazione/conclusione della serie.
A settembre 2015, Netflix ha presentato in anteprima Boys & Girls in the City come una delle sue serie originali. Il nuovo spettacolo è una coproduzione di Netflix e Fuji, trasmessa anche su Fuji Television in Giappone, cambiando anche la sua posizione in un’area nascosta nel centro di Tokyo.

Uno dei più noti show giapponesi della piattaforma, Terrace House ha i suoi ovvi pro. Siamo tutti incuriositi lle inevitabili love story che sbocciano nello show, ma è anche interessante vedere come le persone nello show lavorano per raggiungere i loro obiettivi personali. Naturalmente, insieme a questo, ci sono anche occasionali singhiozzi tra i coinquilini, che sono sempre divertenti da vedere.

Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories

Non guardatelo se siete affamati. “Midnight Diner” presenta un uomo che è noto come “Master” e gestisce un piccolo ristorante da mezzanotte alle 7 del mattino. Il locale accoglie ogni sera una clientela mista che condivide le loro affascinanti storie personali mentre mangia deliziosi piatti casalinghi. Durante queste ore, il Master diventa un confidente per tutti.
Unendovi a questi commensali solitari al tavolo mentre parlano tra loro, vi troverete a connettervi con loro e scoprire una nuova realtà del Tokyo By Night.

Come abbiamo detto, non guardatelo questo se avete fame o inizierete a desiderare qualsiasi cosa il Master stia preparando quella notte, anche se non possiamo garantire che non accadrà comunque.

Kei Nagai, uno studente che scopre di essere un Ajin, un semiumano, quando viene ferito a morte in un incidente stradale. In questo mondo, un piccolo numero di umani possiede estreme capacità rigenerative che si innescano dopo la morte o lesioni mortali. Ciò consente loro di riprendersi completamente in pochi secondi dalle loro ferite, anche quelle più estreme. Insieme a questo, un Ajin può creare “fantasmi neri”, entità altamente pericolose per il combattimento che sono invisibili agli umani normali. Questi fantasmi sono resistenti a qualsiasi lesione fisica, hanno una straordinaria forza, denti e artigli affilati come rasoi. I fantasmi neri hanno la loro intelligenza e, ad esempio, la maggior parte di loro fa affidamento sul proprio Ajin per le indicazioni, altri sono più indipendenti.
Ovviamente, un Ajin è considerato pericoloso e disumano dal popolo e la maggior parte viene catturata dai governi. Le nazioni usarono la scusa della protezione degli Ajin ma in realtà questi diventavano soggetti di esperimenti crudeli per sfruttare le loro capacità di guarigione. Di conseguenza, si creano due fazioni e alcuni Ajin fuggiti dai laboratori cercano vendetta. Sintonizzatevi su questa serie di fantascienza e scoprite come si svolge la storia.
