January 2025 Watchlist! | Read the post!
🕑 Added 2024-12-30 03:28:07 +0000 UTCUpdate 1: Squid Game 2 was finished early, so removed from the graphic.
Hey everyone! Added a bit of extra info to this month's watchlist, so I'll keep this as short as I can! Thanks so much for all the amazing love and support in 2024, and I can't wait for this month to come!
What was your favourite thing we watched together this year? Let me know down in the comments below!
On to the watchlist!
Finishing:
When The Phone Rings: This will also be completed by the end of the first week of January, so around the 6th-7th at the latest.
The Trunk: This is currently on hold. I really enjoyed the first episode, but not many of you guys have actually watched this over here in comparison to When The Phone Rings and Squid Game. There is a lot starting this month, so I'll focus on finishing the above two dramas first, and gradually try and get out more eps. of The Trunk when I have the chance! It hasn't been dropped, I just don't want to promise it'll be done this month in case its not.
Watching:
We have some new shows, and some shows coming back this month!
Alice In Borderland S1 will be pilot tested with 2 eps. dropping! I'm excited for this, but since it's a death game drama just like Squid Game and we have a lot of that right now as is, I'm just going to see what the vibes are like and then probably fully add it in Feb.
Hunter x Hunter, Naruto Shippuden and One Piece will all return with regular weekly uploads. Hunter x Hunter and Naruto Shippuden will continue to move at their pace of ~4 eps. a week, and One Piece will move back to 5 eps a week. Egghead has pretty much all been filmed, so will be dropped weekly through January and February.
Solo Leveling and The Apothecary Diaries are both returning for their 2nd seasons! We will be checking these out weekly which will be exciting!
Nana Tour with Seventeen will finally (thanks for waiting!) be on the move over here, with 1 part dropping about every 2 weeks. This will take some time to watch of course, but I really needed to take the time to assess how much time I have and also what way to film would be best.
tripleS' SIGNAL will continue back on 1 weekly batch worht of SIGNALs dropping per week!
Not shown above: We will also be watching The Golden Disc Awards in early January. The video for this will be available on the Cosmos Tier only.
K-Pop album listens for certain comebacks will also drop this month.
Coming Soon:
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is on the way soon! I'm looking at getting to this after we've blazed through a little bit more Hunter x Hunter and Naruto Shippuden. Live airing Korean shows will be dying down soon too so I'm expecting to pick this up around February at the earliest.
Alchemy of Souls is ALMOST BACK! I'll be re-uploading the previously posted reactions (they haven't been seen for like 2 years lmao) and we will be continuing from there. As mentioned above, some live airing shows will be slowing down soon, and I'll be transitioning back to AoS around that time.
Arcane S1 is also coming as well! I've heard awesome things about this show, and the episodes / seasons are pretty short too so this will be a really nice watch I feel. February is looking like a likely candidate for this dropping as well, but if we have time I'd love to squeeze an episode in in January!
That's it for this month y'all, but I really hope you can look forward to all this!
Let me know what you're most excited for in the comments below!

No worries haha. I just know you did a Kenshi Yonezu music reaction last year so I was curious. It's based on an 3 award winning manga so I have seen more interest in Japanese reactors

Hey man, honestly it's not on the radar at all. I didn't even know about this anime until you just mentioned it now haha. I'll give the synopsis a look and see how I feel! If I decide to react to it you'll see a post here about it :)
Joseph C Gdaniec
Hey Lok, just curious if you were planning to react to Medalist this anime season or if you at least planned to react to the Opening since it was done by Kenshi Yonezu
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Hey mate, I don't take requests sorry. I've been hounded about My Mister a fair bit but I'm not really feeling that kind of K-Drama right now so I won't be watching it anytime soon. Thanks!!
Tree Ri_
Kdrama 'my mister' plssssss
Natasha Wallace
You're going to enjoy Alchemy of Souls. It was so great. I'll be looking out for that.
Henry
Definitely looking forward to Arcane season 1. I think you will enjoy it very much. For Solo Leveling, I know you mentioned a while back you were thinking about reading the manhwa. Season 2 may be the push to do it whenever you have time. As a manhwa reader, Im hyped!! If they do the animation of whats to come justice, it will definitely be the top anime of the year. The world is not ready…even myself lol
Tammy
Hi Lok Happy new year! Hope you are well! I know I'm probably annoying you with this, but I would just like to know if will be reacting to Bts anytime soon? I do hope you will! Thank you for everything that you do! God bless you 💜

No worries at all! Thanks for understanding 😊 Yeah I’ve heard some people really like it, but it’s just something I’m not too interested in for now 😊 I’m sure the time will come, but I just never want to force anything.
Linbe Yang
Oh okay sorry I'm new to your page so wasn't aware. I respect that, but you will be missing out on one of the best drama ever. It's okay though. I understand everyone has their own preference.

Looking forward to Apothecary Diaries new season. Not caught up yet but started watching it after hearing good things about it. Really caught me off guard tbh. Also not to mention Naruto, OP, FMAB and others. Cheers to 2025!!
bunyip
Freudian typo? "ALIVE in Borderland" - It's definitely hard to stay alive in Borderland. :-)
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Yep!
MG
Just for my quick understanding, Wano Act 3 will be posted together, and then Egghead will be released with 5 episodes per week, right?
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Hey, I've mentioned this a couple of times. I'm not really interested in that drama so I won't be :)
Linbe Yang
Can you please please react to QOT???!!!
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Dude that's awesome! I'm so glad to hear that. I actually finished Squid Game 2 tonight earlier than expected, so The Trunk will more than likely be finished in Jan! :D
samzi85
I enjoyed the trunk so much that i still have the last episode to watch cos i dont want it to be over, lol
💥Katsuki BakuGOAT💥(Kacchan)
Well just so you know, it's NOT an anime, so it's not supposed to be watched in Japanese lol but I get why ppl think so
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Literally impossible fr 😭😔
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Facts man hahaha. But yeah since you asked man, was thinking of just introducing Avatar slowly, might check out like 4-6 eps next month along with FMA:B and then by late Feb / March I’ll have it built in to the watchlist 😊 That’s the plan anyway!
💥Katsuki BakuGOAT💥(Kacchan)
That's so relatable lol
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
We are! That’ll be a pilot test in Feb along with FMA:B. Just didn’t want to put everything on here because people never read it all 😭
💥Katsuki BakuGOAT💥(Kacchan)
Are we not doing avatar then
sharef shaji
Fullmetal alchemist is great show hoping you get to watch it as soon as possible in Feb and will one' piece wano act 3 drop on 30 or 31 December?
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Let's gooo! Yeah Alchemy was borderline ruined for me by my Dad actually! I'd found the start a little slow and was watching way too many things at the time but was still enjoying it, only for my Dad to spoil me and completely kill the interest I had at the time 😭😭 I gave it a long time and I've pretty much forgotten the details of what I was spoiled on, so thought I'd give it another shot!
bunyip
I'm excited for two of my favourite shows: "Alice in Borderland" and "Alchemy of Souls". In one of your reactions to another show you mentioned that you did not enjoy AoS. I always wondered why.
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Cheers man! Yeah it'll be one at a time because otherwise the triple eps. will be like a 4 hour reaction LMAO
ashley
no worries, but chill with seventeen does sound weird HAHAHAHA
GeminiLightning
ARCANE baby! Very excited for you to check that one out. I suggest either doing it one episode at a time or in batches of three (that's how it came out originally).
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
LET'S GOOOOOOO! Excited to watch it with you too!! I'm sure it will, I just want to give it the right amount of love and attention so won't overwhelm myself committing to it like crazy out the gate but the trailer I watched seemed so fucking cool man. And nice to hear we're excited for Arcane too! FMA:B we're in similar boats! I watched the first 4 eps like 3 years ago and liked it a lot but I heard it only gets better so I'm suuuper excited for that!
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Lmao facts Jen. Glad to hear you're pumped too man!
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
It should be today or tomorrow Ash! December has been so busy with dramas so I'm kind of down to just chill with Seventeen. "Chill" LMAO
In somnia
Nah it's better then squid game
LKTV 록희 ロッキー
Yeah no doubt man! Definitely excited as hell for it! It's going to be so good
Mulandraa
I agree. Squid Game is very rooted in real world systems and dynamics. Alice in Borderland feels like an anime. Very different feels.
Mulandraa
AAAAALLLIIIIIIICCEEE!!!! I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long and it’s almost here 😭😭😭😭 Lmao, it was the first (and only) thing I asked if you would consider watching. I hope it tests well 😭 I’m stoked for you to watch Arcane, too! And I’ve never seen FMA:B, but I’ve heard a lot of good things so I’m excited to watch it for the first time with you! 🥳
Jenifer R
Honestly the question is what am I not excited for, lol.
ashley
watchlist looks great. im so excited for the finale for when the phone rings!! just want to clarify something, with regards to nana tour should we expect an episode drop within today or tomorrow for december or is that something that would first drop within january?
Christopher Clendening
Alive in Borderlands may have the same basic premise as Squid Game, but it’s a very different execution
