In between reading my books this summer, I'm going to try to watching some of the new (and new to me) shows and movies during hiatus. And two new shows that I want to watch are: Every Year After and Dragon Striker.
Every Year After is based on the book Every Summer After by Carly Fortune which up until now I had never heard of. Maybe I'll add it to my list to read later especially if I like the show. Looking at the trailer, the show which premiered today (June 10th) does have that summery feel to it. As it follows two (best?) friends questioning their romantic possibilities. Since, I've never read the book, it will be interesting to see if they do end up together or there's a twist and they don't. I guess friends to lovers is a popular trope for a reason. All episodes of the first season are available to watch on Amazon Prime.
As for the second new show (which premiered June 9th), Dragon Striker, it's an animated series that follows a young boy named Keys who not only attends a school and joins a sports team where he learns he may be the legendary "Dragon Striker". But he will also be fighting against a big evil. This seems like an interesting show and it kind of feels like a cross between Naruto and The Legend of Korra plus with sports. All episodes of the first season are also available to watch on Disney Plus.
