>>17686413
Is that actress in anything else recently?

>>17686489
She had some problems with her agency and as a result she hasn't really acted in anything.
There were some voice acting roles, though. The most important was probably: the main role in anime movie: "In This Corner of the World" (この世界の片隅に) .
If you want to know more search her by her name Rena Nōnen (能年 玲奈 ), or by nickname she goes by now: のん.

>>17686413
Please put general in the subject, not thread so I don't have to see this shit.

>>17686690
I was thinking about it, but when I was making this and the last one I just copied the the subject and opening post's content from the one that existed before (changed previous thread number) and no one complained, so I left it as it is.

>Need more info
>Needs Genre Tags
Can't you just get genre tags/info with a quick Google search? I guess I can try though.

KazoGame: This is a very bizarre domestic drama with underlying commentary on Japanese society. I would even call it "hard to watch" - you definitely need to get used to what it's doing but once you do it's something very special. As tags maybe "Bizarre" or "Unorthodox" + "Social Commentary"

Mother: An extremely emotionally charged drama with good writing and surprisingly high production values. The level of cinematography and direction is definitely much higher than most other dramas. It is a truly heartfelt story that will get you very attached to the characters. This drama fucked me up really bad and despite how much I love it overall I still can't get over some of the developments towards the ending, so perhaps a "Depressing" tag.

Where does everyone watch their drama? I want to start getting into it but I don't know what to watch or where to watch it

>>17687967
Probably shouldn't have limited the question to just drama, I want to watch more variety shows too

>tfw 7000 points and don't know what to do with it

Do you guys know any other dramas like Kekkon Dekinai Otoko or Family's Form about a single man who is living a comfortable single life balancing work and his interests, with the possible love interest in there?

I feel like every "life" genre drama is targeted at women. I want to see a man in his 20s/30s dealing with daily tasks, work, and possibly some love without making it a romance show.

And is that one guy here from a year or two ago who used to share "fatherly feels" dramas with me (especially Mana-chan)? Those were some good times.

>>17691691

Can you give them to me?

Thank you very much anon.

>>17687116
Are you talking about the old Kazoku Game movie back in like the 80s or the new drama one?
Because the drama is complete shit while the old one is incredible, but still weird

what are some good japanese movies/tv starring young actors in a youthful setting (highschool/college)?

>>17691866
By seeding, using bonus points, and not downloading so much.

>>17693355
I enjoyed watching ROOKIES. Like one of those sports themed anime. What themes do you even like?

>>17693756
Not him but I want something about a male university student's daily life in university, with some focus on academics for once rather than music, sports or romance.

It frustrates me that Japs don't take university seriously at all.

>>17693756
any theme really as long as it's an exciting movie.

Remember to start new threads with old jav pics or you will be cursed with 400mb rips which you can't skip forever

>>17694900
I've only watched about 30 jdramas and I think ive never encountered one that really centred around uni life. Well there's ao honoo which is comedy about being a mangaka. Or omukae death, also a comedy about uni student part timing as a shinigami.

Dramas in general sensationalize their subjects so if you wanted to watch something boring/ordinary like university life then you might want to watch a documentary instead

Is this a good place to ask about a movie? I just need help in understanding what transpired in a particular one.

Can I get recommended some wacky Japanese game shows, and possibly where to watch them?

Noroi was genuinely creepy. Have you seen "the cure"? It's a detective finding about a supernatural phenomenon.

Can't wait till december.

>>17699986
Great!

In The 100th Love With You, I just want to know how Aoi's death became a fixed point in time.

I think they tried to explain it on one part of the movie where Kentaro and his uncle had a talk and Aoi was eavesdropping. They said something about Kentaro's fate being unchangeable.

I know you have to suspend disbelief to enjoy these kinds of movies, but I've seen a couple of them and I can't let it pass without getting a good explanation.

>>17703525
She was also in i am a hero and baseball braniacs. Such a qt

>>17703020
I think it was just deaths are fixed points in time. WHen someone's time comes, there's nothing you can do about it. Which is why the uncle couldn't save his lover either. At least that was my reading of it.

>>17703020
Movie deals with the inescapability of fate. Japanese culture has a belief in predestination like it's east asian neighbors. kentaro even killed himself and it didnt stop destiny

Is there any current Japanese directors (indie, experimental or otherwise) that are doing something similar to say Andrei Tarkovsky or Bela Tarr?

>>17686413
Any updates to the orange days bd? (if you are still here)

Is there anywhere to watch Jojo's live action with eng sub already?

Hi, would anyone know where to find a subbed download for this year's Boku wa Mari no Naka live action tv series please? I can't find it anywhere.

>>17703220
Thanks anon, I just started watching it now.

I'll report back after a few episodes.

>>17706866
This but not limited to Tarkovsky/Tarr. Is there even a Japanese experimental film scene?

>>17708743
>>17709237
Are there not even raws?

>>17708704
Don't be stupid, it's bluray/dvd will only be out mid next year much less it being already subbed.

>>17708743
>subbed
No point asking or looking for recent dramas being english subbed caused chances are they are not.
No idea about raws but the chinese already subbed the entire series as usual. You can easily find streams of it via google.

>>17708704
Dont expect too much. It's your typical Hollywood superhero movie just set in japan and r-13. Watched it subbed in the cinema and found it good.
>when the sub shows "brilliant diamond" but you hear the actor say "crazy diamond" a dozen times
That was confusing desu

>>17711592
Sometimes there is some funsubber that will translate stuff on the go, and considering Jojo's popularity I wouldn't be that surprised if someone translated it very fast. Doesn't hurt to ask.

>>17711722
How far does the story reach? Do poses look good?
And I got used to confusing subs in Jojo after watching Jojo's anime. What a beautiful Duwang.

I'm sorry for comming up with such a newfaggotry dear otakus. But i recently got addicted to chambara movies. Now my request would be if anyone would care to share a source to watch these / "borrow" them on the internet. I have watched some of the classics but there are some that are a pain in the ass to find like. "Hitokiri" That one is only up in subs i dont understand or in pretty shtity quality. So if anyone could point me towards the goal I would forever be grateful.

>>17709336
If you enjoy it, watch more of Akiko Nogi's (screenwriter) shows. They're all super good imo. I love Juhan Shuttai especially.

>>17711876
This is two years old, but it should get the job done. https://pastebin.com/YtK9gFDb

Also seconding Blue Spring (2002).

>>17711592
I was looking for a download ideally, not a stream. Does any kind of download for this show exist at all?

>>17711865
>someone translated it very fast
That is totally irrelevant considering there is no proper source for them to translate from right? Whatever.

Avistaz now let's you mine coins in exchange for upload credit. The amount of value per KWh you can get out of CPU mining in your browser is infinitesimal compared to the electricity cost. I bet most people have no idea how much power their CPU actually consumes.

This is a scummy move. The network is already undersaturated because of their ridiculous 1.0 ratio demand, and the donations should be easily covering any server costs they have.

Can't we just have a private tracker that doesn't look for any means to exploit their user base?

>>17714223
I know of Miik, admittedly I haven't seen any of his stuff but from what I do know that's not quite what I had in mind. More like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rss5BDoeBis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdcN8wDxT0Q

>>17706412
I got confused at that part. The conversation between him and his uncle made me think that because he tried to let himself be killed to save her, he kind of sealed her fate and "took her down" with him or something like that. I seriously need to rewatch that part again.

>>17703995
I guess that's the most logical explanation, or at least the main point of it all. I just didn't like how they handled he death as a fixed point. The way I understood it, when the time comes, no matter where she is, she just magically teleports back to the same location.

>>17693355

Aoi Haru is nostalgia for me

New season begins. One week left till Doctor X~

Just finished Tamamono/ Lunch Box. Anymore films that feature a disheveled female protagonist?

I still can't find a copy of Nanimono. Anybody else have any luck?

>>>/wsr/392358

>>17712056
I finally got around to finishing the first episode. It took me three sit-downs over three days to finish it.

Even though this has some of the themes I'm looking for I just can't do it because of the protagonist being female (which I can't relate to), and her so easily asking this one dummy she had just met who acts autistic to marry her so that she can work as his housewife.

I don't know why it's just so bizarre and I feel like I'm getting cucked even though I'm actually not.

I think I prefer to relate to a male protagonist, and then have him meet a female throughout the story rather than the reverse situation where a random stranger "wifes" this sweet, pretty lady with zero effort other than having a stable job.

It's a shame because the show seems really comfy for those that aren't bothered by it like me.

>>17724109
I feel the same for the same reasons basically, barely got through the first episode of that one before dropping. I loved family's form and kekkon dekinai otoko also, two of my favorites. Also been looking for something similar since without much success. The fatherly ones don't really appeal that much to me either, watching one or two of them was enough after that they all feel similar.

Juhan shuttai also couldn't keep my interest, never finished the first episode I think.

>>17724124
I guess it's just going to be impossible to find the same feeling we got from Family's Form and Kekkon Dekinai Otoko. I'm going to try out Hanzawa Naoki which I've heard good things about instead.

>>17686413
Recently watched Sion Sono's (Love Exposure, Suicide Club) "The Whispering Star". Very minimalist film that also manages to be fun and emotionally compelling, especially towards the end.

Also I want to hold-hands with Yoko!

>>17724109
>I don't know why it's just so bizarre and I feel like I'm getting cucked even though I'm actually not.
I pretty much feel the same way about most jdramas. They are written for women even if not by women, and my emotional response is probably totally different from what was intended.

>>17724109
This is one reason I mostly avoid romance jdramas. It's kind of hard to relate when it focuses too much on the female perspective. I prefer the youth/friendship ones. For me, the japs make good shows about that compared to the kdramas I watched.

I am currently watching crisis, and it's good.
Really nice action scenes.
I do recommend it.

BORDER is back.

>>17728199
I liked the first border. It was a nice balance of murder of the week and the season arc of him solving his own shooting. Nothing really original but not bad either. Oguri isn't exactly the greatest actor so a mostly expressionless character really suits him.

Watched gokusen and misaki #1 back to back. The latter could possibly called a gokusen rip off. Kek. Even the school is the same. Some episodes looked like they were plagiarized lol.

I really like the Slice of life genre in Anime particularly in a school setting. I'm trying to get into Japanese TV but I don't really know where to look except here. So if anyone have any recommendations for me in that genre, it would be greatly appreciated.
I also like the big Japanese horror movies so those would also be welcome

>>17739288
Gokusen, GTO are nice shows to start with.

>>17739288
jdorama.com Top 100 has a pretty good list.
I've seen and liked most of the dramas in the top 30.

Anyone else watched Kimi wa Petto? Holy fuck. The premise looks like it was written by an anon from 4chan with weird a sexual pet fantasy and an older woman fetish. There's even some cuckoldry. Weirdest drama Ive watched.

Anyone can rec a good college/university drama? Nothing that will make me cry, though. Romance is fine but not needed.

Are there any good asian live action slice of life series? Can be Japanese or Korean as long as it's subbed

just watched 1st ep of live action gokusen and holy hell the pacing is agonizingly slow, does it get better as the series progresses? theres 3 seasons and a movie of this so i wanna make sure im not wasting my time here.

>>17751513
Not a series but watch Koreeda's movies if you haven't already. Everything since he made Maborosi is phenomenal.

>>17752827
S1 is enough for watching this series. Story is mostly X has problem, yankumi saves the day. Yukie nakama's acting is great though.

>>17715188
I don't think I can really recommend Mother to anyone. All it made me feel was rage and hatred. I hated all the characters. I hated sakamoto for writing it. And I hated myself for watching it.

>>17755327
All the reviews I've seen of it are positive, this is on my backlog, would you mind telling me what you think is rageworthy about it/why you hate it?

I saw a Webm a couple of days that I can't find source for and I can't find the Webm either so I thought that this thread might help me since I think it's from a japanese horror movie. It's definitely asian.

The webm starts with a girl waking up in the middle of the night and goes to the kitchen, while she's there she sees a figure standing over her futon in the bedroom. The figure is dressed in a red robe or something similar and the figure begins to move weirdly (almost skips or dancing forward) towards the girl in the kitchen. The girl wakes up at the last minute when the figure in red reaches her. The girl had apparently dozed of during a late study session. She puts her head in her hands and then removes them only to reveal that something else is holding up her head.

I might not remember the scene correctly from the last sentence I wrote but someone will probably recognize the movie from this.
Thanks.

>>17756588
It's really hard to relate to or feel sympathy for any of the characters and their motivations, at least not until the very end. I get the feeling this was written for women and only really makes sense to them.

The ikeido jun bubble is getting ridiculous

Pardon the crossboarder:

There was a 1980s american television show called "The Wonder Years, a 7-season period drama following a boy growing up 2 decades earlier in the late 1960s. If you watch it, you get a good feeling for what it was like to go through the adolescent grades at that age.

Is there a Japanese series like this? Period piece in the 60s or 70s, but not actually filmed during that time.

>>17777203

Korean TV > Japanese TV

Discuss.

>>17782753
We don't discuss korean tv here. This is the japanese movie and tv thread. Please go somewhere else.

>>17782753
Depends on the brand of the television.

>>17782753
broadly yes, but comparing best of with best of - no way

>>17782753
Korean media in general is bad, generic and mass-produced with no personality at all. So no, it's not better than japanese TV.
However, japanese TV and Cinema been really shit in recent years, so if you compare only with that, you can say they are somewhat equivalent.

i may sound like a gigantic weeb but man im curious about normal, japanese TV.
is there a possibility to watch NHK or something online? even tho i dont understand a word i'm really interested how japanese TV in general looks like. I'm from Germany and our TVshows and programm in general is so full of shit, it hurts. alot.

>>17782753
Maybe when Koreans learn romance with shitty RnB and cartoon effects isn't the only form of television there is. They're under China for me.

Hell, I'd rank them a little higher if they at least put some effort into retooling the same show over and over again with idols that look the exact fucking same. But no, it's all the same show for the same audience.

>>17784290
I only watch serious korean dramas. There are enough of them.

I hope y'all can help me in finding this,

I've been looking for a particular j-drama. It's about a high school filled with female delinquents. They're either warring with one another, or warring with another school of female delinquents, can't remember which. I think it came out between 2010 and 2012.

Ring any bells for anyone? And thanks.

Quality is not the best, but it works.

>>17784442
Are you perhaps referring to Majisuka Gakuen?

>>17782753
yes agreed. but start a separate kdrama thread elsewhere.

>>17784858
Thanks, anon. That's it exactly. Excellent memory!

>>17785969
I always wondered. Where in 4chan is best to discuss kdrama? Most of /tv/ doesnt watch foreign tv shows.

>>17786336
Unfortunately there isn't a place. Dumb mods would probably force you to go to /tv/, where all the fast generals generating new threads would quickly kill your thread.

Heh heh heh..

Is samurai gourmet as good as kodoku no gourmet?

best bet is hijacking the kpop gen in mu.

I love the classic delinquents movies/manga , where can I find this one ?
Also where do you guys find your movies usually ?

Movie threads on wsg maybe.

>>17789917
>>17787727
shit those threads move too fast it stresses me out

>>17762166
So I finally watched this and really like it. Is that any more "class S" shows like this?

keyhole tv :^)

Just finished pic related it was my first drama it was so comfy but now I don't know what to watch is there anything similar to it? I felt sad when I was done because I got attached to the characters. I want to watch the South Korean remix but I'm trying to learn Japanese so it doesn't seem like a good use of my time.

>>17795980
trying to find a drama similar to that one has been discussed in the thread my man, Family's Form is similar and that's about it. Also don't watch the korean version it's shit.
Also check out shinya shokudo for a different kind of slice of life comedy type thing. There are a few other shows and movies in this same food vein also, haven't watched them though.

>Halloween is near
Recommend me tv shows/films that are scary or suspenseful. I've watched the classic ones like Ring, Juon, Audition, House etc

>>17803006
>>17764362

>>17803006
Not very scary though.

>>17803006
Seen Lesson of the Evil yet?
Not exactly scary but definitely suspenseful at times

>>17803006

>>17806272
I agree that Lesson of the Evil is not really scary, but I think it fits Halloween theme.

where can i get some magnet links for j dramas?

>>17803006
Somebody else posted this but I haven't seen it. I'm hoping somebody can point me to a rip since I can't find anything on it other than a vhs.

>>17806459
>lesson of evil
Very good movie. It should have a american remake

Can someone recommend me some good Horror shows? or Investigation ones?

>>17788597
seconding, love that movie

>>17807015
I doubt you'd be able to make it in the current political climate.

>>17807121
>Investigation ones?

>>17807015
>Lesson of Evil
What a disappointing slasher.

>>17812602

I actually liked it except the parts with demon shotgun. Out of the movies by Takashi Miike that I have seen (I have also seen Yakuza Apocalypse and As the Gods Will) I liked Lesson of the Evil the most.

>>17812602
It was fun. Didnt have the typical western characters like black man, slut, jock, etc. I never really guessed who'd survive in the end.

>>17717629
Oh man, just watched the trailers, and it seems like my kind of thing.
Is there anywhere I could find it subbed?

Is there any good drama where Shida Mirai is the heroine?

>>17813705
Himitsu is the only one I finished. It was pretty good. She's got much less screen time on the others Ive seen her in. I've just started utsubokazura today and it's interesting enough that I think I'll continue watching it.

Give me all the femdom-appealing shows/movies you know of.

New Love in Tokyo has a few great scenes. Skimmed through a few sukeban/yanki girl shows that were on netflix.

Any fans of noir-types, crime, mystery, abstract philosophical, absurdist comedy and similar? I have found Japanese films in these genres to be particularly well done. Not a fan of drama unless it's a sub element of larger more meaningful plots. Please share if you have any good suggestions.

Some recent titles I found to some level of interest:
Vengeance is Mine (79)
Shinjuku Mad (70)
The Taste of Tea (04)
I Just Didn't Do It (07)

>>17807121
the very first straight-to-video Ju-On: The Curse.
Kairo >>17693355 is also a favorite of mine, but it's more of a thriller than straight up horror like Ju-On.

>>17819036
These are some drama's i've found interesting
Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi (One Million Stars Falling from the Sky) 2002 - Suspense

A Sleeping Forest (98) - Mystery/Suspense

Anyone got anything as good as this?

So I watched Nobuta wo Produce based on rec's from this thread, and I liked it especially because, though dramatic, a lot of the dialogue felt real, almost improvised (especially Shuji). They often sound like real japanese highschoolers. This is what made me love Linda Linda Linda so much too. Can anyone recommend any other shows or movies with a similar feel to it? Kon.

Anyone know the source to the "Minshuu no Teki" subs on jdramacity?

>>17813534
same question here

>>17821652
Try Kimi wa Petto, it's not high school and the basis of the show is a lil goofy, but i think it has some feels similar to Nobuta wo Produce.

>>17821652
NwP is already probably the best in slice of life set in highschool. The show was great except it had a very weak first episode. GTO 1998 is good too but is slightly more over the top. You can also try Stand Up!!. It's also SoL but more on the comedic side with some dramatic scenes. It has creative shots and scenes unlike most dramas.

Any other tv shows or movies with smart female characters like Okitegami Kyouko?

has anyone seen Confessions / 告白 from 2010? is it any good

>>17821652
>>17823651
seconding stand up. another decent high school comedy is gomen ne seishun. its a bit cheesy though.

>>17821652
Ao to shiro de mizuiro
https://youtu.be/zbBfRjnDmko
It's a nice short film I stumbled across in yt. Has some lily Chou Chou and nobuta feels. Stars aoi and shun oguri

>>17824371
Yes.

>>17824371
yes, although I liked it more the first time round.
it's been recommended a couple times already in this thread.

>>17824475
>>17825773
did you also like the other minato kanae adaptations? like n no tame ni, or shokuzai?

What's a decent documentary on modern Japanese life? Something about pachinko would be interesting but I'm open to suggestions.

>>17762166

>not watching both

i always start with the new and then the old to see how the new was influenced by the old

>>17833937
Yeah, and he always pairs with those qt actresses. His acting is almost always the same though. Those brooding angsty anime characters.

What drama is this from?

Hana Kimi is quite a fantastic show.

>>17833937
Rejoice he is currently in a non romance focus drama with lots of men.

Good Morning Show was good.

i've been watching hitoshi matsumoto's suberenai hanashi on netflix.

it is pretty damn funny. i was surprised at how funny he actually is on his own, just telling stories.

If you guys are up for something different from the usual jdorama, check out Hibana. It's adapted from one of the most popular Japanese novels released in recent years and the production values are quite high.

>>17833937
What is this from?

>>17835240
some scenes were meant to be set in the early 2000s, but the car models and pedestrians with smartphones broke the immersion since it clearly wasn't
props to them for shooting on location though, couldnt have avoided that

>>17835247
Isshuukan friends.

>>17834966
Seigi no mikata

>>17834981
The remake is awful though. Also, I'd hana yori dango for over the top romcom

>>17688974
You can't greentext properly either.

>>17835709
... I'd recommend*...

I have just watched Sangatsu no Lion. Will there be any continuation? Does he [spoiller]beat Meijin[/spoiler] in the manga/anime/whatever is the source material?

>>17686413
Amachan genuinely made me feel happy, it was such an adorable show. Cried like a bitch when shit came down at the finale though.
Deliquent Yui was such a wifey too.

>>17686413
This probably comes up too much, but does anyone know of any links where I can watch live TV from Japan? Such as Tokyo MX

I bet they will do more next year

>>17841187
I liked it too. I am currently watching Hiyokko and it gives similar vibes.

>>17841341
Look here: >>17784841

>>17841180
Yes. It's a 2 part movie.

>>17686413
There is this one movie I saw on an airplane once, called "Good Morning Show." It was pretty good, would recommend

Anyone got some recommendations for fun weekly(ish) variety shows? Here's what I watch right now:
月曜から夜ふかし - Humorous look at what's going on with random people on the street and other assorted bits
水曜日のダウンタウン - Staff comes up with fun theories and puts them to the test
ニンゲン観察バラエティ『モニタリング』 - Hidden camera prank show that's fairly entertaining (despite being fake as shit)
探偵!ナイトスクープ - Members of the public get helped out with requests
ザ！鉄腕！DASH！！ - Comfy wildlife shit with a focus on building projects and conservation

I imagine there's a bunch of other shows I'm missing out on, but going through the TV guide is a hassle when you don't want to watch talk shows.

>>17845008
>despite being fake as shit
It wasn't always that way. Back when they were just a small show with little to no budget, they actually put effort into capturing authentic reactions. There was even a segment that almost failed because they couldn't get actual pedestrians to walk by their experiment and even filmed the crew standing around hoping someone would pass by. Becky leaving definitely killed the show, though.

>>17848120
Becky had some great segments, it's a fucking shame that the celebrity promo stuff is so stale now she's gone. I really hate the newish "watch this potential olympian destroy some kids while dressed up as an old person!" segment they're doing now in the run up to the olympics, the show has gone from 50% to 75% watchable to 25% at best. There's no way I could watch it live, there's just too much that's unbearable like "watch these popular 20 something drama stars walk around Tokyo while disguised!".

>>17845008
where do you watch these?

>>17841180
I finished both parts today. It's a nice watch but I find the chihayafuru movies to be more interesting than this. Part 2 seems like a movie made to encourage you to read the manga...

>>17852036
Does manga reach further than the movies? And if I have seen the movies from what place should I pick up manga?

>>17853457
From the beginning.

>>17853457
If you think max 4 hours of film can cover the intricacies of roughly 13 hours of anime and how know how many chapters, you're mistaken. Either start the manga or anime right at the beginning, it's worth it.

>>17853769
>>17853820
I don't think there are enough cute actresses to keep me invested in it if most of the story will be repeated. Also considering the pacing of typical anime, 13 hours into 4 hours seems highly plausible.
But let me rephrase the question. In what part of anime/manga starts the action after the plot of movies?

>>17854059
This isn't a plot based series though, it's character driven.

I'm not going to tell you, and I hope no one else does, so go somewhere else if you're lazy.

>>17854078
I don't have the time to watch all this again if I know that I won't really enjoy it.
So I checked:
anime:The latest episode is on the part where Hinata is getting bullied.
manga:Not sure where exactly, but Gotou's wife is still alive, so movie went further.

I don't really get why people get butthurt over someone not wanting to watch/read all source material. I don't have infinite time. I know what I dislike and what I do like. I don't like repeating the stuff I have already seen. I don't like the art style of this anime. I like cute actresses. I like knowing if the ending I have seen is definite or will there be something more. So why would I spend more of my time for this?

>>17854132
>I don't like the art style of this anime. I like cute actresses.
Then stick to the movies.

> So why would I spend more of my time for this?
Because the movies aren't exact adaptations. You don't have to check out the source material if you don't want to. No one's telling you to do so. Just stick to the movies if that's what you like. Nothing wrong with that.

Finished the first season of Legal High.
I really enjoyed it, but I feel that the ending reveal about Saori cheapens the emotional stake built up over the entire season.What a waste of potential

Beach Boys was so fucking chill back then... Absolutely loved it. Also, Takashi Sorimachi did a very great job regarding GTO's first live action too, so... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpq5nqDiZtA

There are 2 new series I'd like to watch, but I can't find streams.

The first one is 日本をゆっくり走ってみたよ (Nihon wo Yukkuri Hashittemita yo)

The premise sounds really good:
Yamamoto Koji quits his job and travels around Japan on a motorbike in order to become a stronger person, so he can gather the courage to confess his love to Eri.

The other series is この声をきみに Kono Koe wo Kimi ni. I liked the lead actor in Suteki na Sen Taxi

>>17835320
They made a live action Saiki K?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxhMPiRxSk0

>>17857939
Yup. Directed by Fukuda Yuichi.

>>17859215
I wonder when these movie will be shown in my country.

>>17859618
Probably never unless it's really popular. Usually have to wait half a year for them to be out in blurays or at the playstore.

Hello. Person who made this thread, and the previous one, here. As the thread is slowly dying I have two questions:
- Shall I make a new one?
- If so, should it be called a general? ( >>17686690 )
Other recommendations like op pic, change in the description etc. are welcome.
