List so far. I decided to add everything you guys recommend, since you keep suggesting titles from 00s and up, and just cut down the list once we have it finalized. The ones that didn't make it will get put in a pastebin as a sort of "/jp/'s favorites."

Nietzsche san and hana kimi are the most hilarious shows I've watched. Anything else thats very comedic?

Any good action movies come out lately?

>>17875916
I'm only part way done with it but I'd say Semi-Autobiographical and drama for Oshin.

Blazing Transfer Students is so over-the-top. I love it.

Are there any good movies or tv where high school students are played by actual high school students? Sorry if stupid question

Byakuyako 2006 (Journey Under a Midnight Sun)

This is a crazy as fuck drama. Very powerful show that won a lot of awards. Has the same main actors as Sekai no chuushin. Highly recommend

>>17875830
Hiyokko was so good until the final few weeks where it just petered out. And some of the endings for the characters were just completely awful. First time watching an Asa Dora, is this the norm?

>>17880623
I have seen Ama-chan and Asa ga kita. I have dropped Mare after ~80 episodes. Now I am watching Hiyokko and I also really liked it earlier, but now am struggling to finish last 10 episodes. I didn't have this problem with Ama-chan and Asa ga kita, but Mare bored me even earlier (I also don't really like the main actress there), so I would say it happens, but not always.

>>17880594
its a bit too melodramatic for my taste

>>17877641
Mugen no juunin


>>17880594
Remember to watch the movie version if you haven't already.

>>17881244
>Mugen no juunin
I have just finished watching it. It's good, but not without faults (some takes are rather awkward (especially the ones in slow motion), the casting of Anotsu, how Rin is ignored in final battle etc.).

Not used to watch doramas.

>>17875916
I think having year categories isn't really all that important. We should aim to have two things: good, well-liked shows and diversity.

Has anyone here seen Zankokuna Kankyakutachi? The premise sounds really interesting:
Set in the near future, a high school gives priority to privacy protection. The names of teachers and students are not revealed. 21 female high school students are locked in a classroom and their vision is shown all over the world in real time. The only way to escape is to receive many "good" marks from the audience.

>>17888099
Haven't seen it, but as it is an idol drama I wouldn't expect too much from it (plotwise, I expect idols being cute).

>>17888099
>>17888829
I'm a regular of the 46 general and I think most of the people there would agree that It was horrible even when not being compared to their debut drama which was actually pretty decent. Zankoku was about idols performing Japanese gags and memes in front of a camera for likes.

What's wrong with the >>>/tv/ board? I'm sure we do not need yet another general to clog up flow of content on this board.

Please look at the archives and tell me when was the last time we had a thread, let alone a general, dedicated to discussion of the contents of TV DRAMAs. Don't thinly veil your JDrama recommendation thread by calling it a "TV and movie general". Variety shows like Gaki or idol events are at least related to Japanese culture and tokusatsu or kaijus already have a home on >>>/m/ but just because it's Japanese does not make it otaku culture.

>>17893015

>Please look at the archives and tell me when was the last time we had a thread, let alone a general, dedicated to discussion of the contents of TV DRAMAs.
No. Just chill out.

>>17893956
They sometimes have featured torrents on the front page. They're free downloads and give double the upload credit so just seed those. None right now, so you can just download a bunch of the small sized torrents and gain those bonus points.

>>17894581
>Please look at the archives and tell me when was the last time we had a thread, let alone a general, dedicated to discussion of the contents of TV DRAMAs.
How new are you to /jp/? We've had sporadic drama threads on /jp/ for years. It was never very active and would sometimes 404 before reaching bump limit. Now that we have more regular activity (which shows there are more people interested and willing to post) this thread will pop up more often, maybe even becoming a persistent thread.

It is absolutely Japanese culture and belongs on /jp/ more than any other board. The move to /tv/ was discussed many months back and it was decided that we would not be received well over there, nor would we have as many potential weebs to join us as we would on /jp/.

If it triggers you so much for other people to enjoy talking about Japanese drams in the Japanese culture board then you can just hide the thread and never have to see it again.

>>17894581
I feel like I might be getting baited but fine:
>https://arch.b4k.co/jp/search/subject/movie%20and%20tv/
Here have a fast search of this line of threads that continues from april: https://arch.b4k.co/jp/search/subject/movie%20and%20tv/
There were also some threads before that, but I'm not gonna bother searching further. Also after discussing it in previous threads, we changed the name of this one to general.
>Don't thinly veil your JDrama recommendation thread by calling it a "TV and movie general".
Drama's aren't the only thing that's discussed in this thread, though they are predominant. In this thread, there are discussed movies ("Mugen no juunin" in this thread for example). There are also other things. Some anon asked some time ago about documents on everyday Japanese live or something like that.
>Variety shows like Gaki or idol event
Not every show is big enough to have a thread of its own, and sometimes people who want to watch them aren't really coming from the other side of a fanbase. I, for example, caught interest in idols after watching AKBingo.
>but just because it's Japanese does not make it otaku culture.
Definition of otaku from dictionary.com: "an avid collector or enthusiast, esp. one who is obsessed anime, video games, or computer and rarely leaves home". I spend a lot of time watching Japanese movies, dramas and variety shows, to the point that calling it an obsession is not so absurd. Or do you want to take this more common definition of otaku as someone who likes Japanese stuff, and counter your own argument? What would a thread have to be so that you would classify it as otaku culture?

I don't really get the problem people have with this thread. There are people who post in it regularly. The discussion here usually keeps some norms. It's not that fast so it doesn't take that much space. Do you really need that much more space for another Touhou thread?

>>17894581
If you actually browsed the board instead of playing internet detective with the archive you'd realize that there have been threads discussing J-drama on and off continuously for a few years now.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of 1 Litre of Tears and I don't think i will be able to handle it. Does it get too heavy/tragic? I don't want to be depressed!

Trick!

>>17898052
It's the ultimate JUST show. Watch at your own risk.

>>17898102
So nostalgic, feeling like rewatcing the whole 3 season.

>>17894880
>the age of streaming services
I wish they actually picked up japanese dramas regularly. Wish VIU wasn't just asia, i'd totally get a subscription.

>>17898950

no subs to Yamikin movies yet?

>>17898052
its a very classic old school melodrama with drama tropes that honestly imo seem very dated and cliche in 2017. so it might be more annoying than tragic

>>17901902
Ended up dropping it for losing any sympathy i had for the characters, and there isn't much going on besides that in the show.

Starting Legal High instead.

Is the romance angle going to progress in Okitegami Kyoko? I want to see Aragaki Yui doing cheesy romantic scenes.

>>17903764
>Starting Legal High instead.
Holy shit. Me too, anon! It's nice that it's also got blu-ray raws available.

>>17903965
Yes. But at the end. The show is meant to be episodic anyways and I think it works that way. Also, I reccomend checking out the other two Akiko Nogi shows she starred in.

Just finished watching 居酒屋ふじ. I recommend it to anyone who wants to watch a very comfy, heartwarming izakaya series.

>>17901853
Fun movie.

>>17904117
Thanks, Ill still view this show.

>>17910710
Dang, what show?

>>17911374
Gravity's Clowns

I am looking for martial arts/combat sports themed dramas/movies. The mood can range from comedy to tragedy, but I would to fights and training scenes to be realistic if that's possible. I would prefer modern setting, but that's not a must. Also, I need English subs as my Japanese is still poor.
I have seen stuff like Holyland and Aijou Ippon, but I would prefer something more focused on martial arts themselves. Something like the manga All Rounder Meguru.
Any recommendations?

>no JP stuff in the featured torrents on avistaz
very sad, now I'll just have this korean stuff lying around on my hdd as seed-fodder

anything out there like hibana (a spark)? I like mostly that it does drama w/o melodrama (which almost every jp tv drama can't seem to avoid)

can you people stop posting in ローマ字 before my brain strangles itself

>>17931049
>Kirin no Tsubasa
Basically part of the Kaga Kyoichiro series novel adaptions by Higashino Keigo. Murder mystery format. Though not really necessary, might be a good idea to watch the other titles in sequence before this film.

Order of release:
Shinzanmono
Akai Yubi
Kirin no Tsubasa
Nemuri no Mori
Inori no Maku ga Oriru Toki (2018)

>>17931156
roumaji ga kirai desu ka.
But to answer your question, let's split it in two:
1.Why not in runes:
-not everyone here speaks japanese,
-switching to japanese keyboard or having to copy the title is bothersome,
-looking them up by romaji leads to sites in english.
2.Why not in english:
-some people watch them in japanese and don't know english titles,
-quite often there is more than one translation of the titles (related to the fact that lots of stuff is funsubbed)

>>17931280
Well, what do you think of the film(s) itself?

>>17931357
is it too much to ask to use both runes and english

it's so much less painful to read than things like "tsu" and "o" and the inevitable flood of homophones

if some people can't read runes it's not like the vast majority of those same people can read it in roman script either...

>>17931453
>is it too much to ask to use both runes and english
Look point 1.2 and 2.1
>it's so much less painful to read than things like "tsu" and "o" and the inevitable flood of homophones
Can't help you with that.
>if some people can't read runes it's not like the vast majority of those same people can read it in roman script either...
It's a title, you don't need to know the meaning, all you need to share information about what show you are talking easily. Romaji titles appear on most sites, while translations vary. Example: Higurashi no Ki (蜩ノ記) depending on the site can be translated as "A samurai Chronicle" or "Chronicle of the Evening Cicadas " (or combination).

>>17931049
Is that first one the movie about the statue on the bridge? If yes, I enjoyed it back then when I watched it years ago. I thought it had an interesting story.

Sorry if I'm asking to be spoonfed but google hasn't been a lot of help with this-
Is there any good sites for streaming of live tv in Japan? I just kind of want to watch stuff, especially as background noise. NHK Educational is the one I really want but NHK or Nippon TV is fine too

>>17930918
it's definitely not what you'd expect. might be frustrating for some people bc of its unconventionality, but watching the heroine be put into increasingly absurd situations was pretty compelling for me. and the ideas it plays with about reality and storytelling were done in a way I haven't seen before.

for example the trailer is a little misleading, but the fact that it's misleading is a part of and even addressed in the film.

definitely made me want to look into more stuff by shion sono

Why doesn't Japan do action thrillers?

What are the best Asadora shows that aren't Amachan or Oshin?

Where download subbed nanimono?

Finished Legal High. It started off strong I thought but ended pretty disappointing. Masato Sakai's performance carried the show, but the premises for the episodes were so repetitive that it just got tiring and annoying. Don't think I'll watch more beyond season 1.

>>17945984
I liked Asa ga Kita, and Hiyokko was enjoyable for the most part, but towards the end it got boring. I didn't like Mare and dropped it in the middle.

Any recs for show with Shibasaki Kou? Liked Orange Days and Galileo 1 (2 not that much)

What do you think about Yuju Sakamoto dramas?

>>17954950
I've only seen his last two, but I quite enjoyed them. Looking forward to his new one next season. I should probably check out some of his older dramas.

just caught Ito-san A to E on netflix. i wasn't that big a fan of Boku Unmei, but i like Kimura Fumino a lot now. thought the cinematography was nice and the pacing was good.

i was almost very pissed about the ending before i read there's a movie coming in january.

anyone else have thoughts?

>>17954950
>>17954984

I've watched five of his shows, and all but Saikou no Rikon are in my top 14.

I consider Mother a much see for asian drama watchers.

I've been meaning to watch Mosaic. Are there subs for it?

>>17960087
>Saikou no Rikon
whats wrong

>>17960087
>I've been meaning to watch Mosaic. Are there subs for it?
Sadly not.

>>17961573
There's nothing wrong really. It's just a solid midtier.

It was exactly what I expected it to be. Whereas Mother, Quartet, Mondai, and (to lesser extent) Itsuka gave me something more.

What the heck? I mean, the development was solid so far but seriously, they have their first kiss AND they fuck on the same day? That's way too fast and brutal. There should have been at least several days between the two things.
I'm kinda thrown off my chair right now.

Any good shows from 2017?
I watched and liked crisis, but that's pretty much the only 2017 show I watched.

Apart from that I do also recommend Dokuganryū Masamune.
It's really good. No wonder it had such good ratings back then.

Will Nonen Rena ever be relevant again? The last acting work was voice acting. Now she is trying to be a singer,

>>17967836
Watching Keiji Yugami and Okusama wa, Tori Atsukai Chui this season. They're fun.

>>17967636
>jesus christ that was fast
Are they starting to long title netflix collaborations now too?

>>17948104
Got bored of Hiyokko 2 weeks in, welp.
Will try Asa ga Kita.

>>17971393
2 weeks is rather fast though. Usually, the plot isn't even in motion then.

Damn I just watched Samurai High School and holy fuck that show is /comfy/, too bad its short though

>>17971393
they all suck don't bother
they're all literally made in hours

>>17973314
But Amachan was so damn good.

Anyone knows this show name? The plot was about 2 guys making a girl popular. Sorry , that's all I remember...

>>17974646
Probably Nobuta wo produce

>>17947539
Legitimately curious, what are your favorite dramas?

>>17974646
Nobuta wo produce. And it is very good.

>>17975059
I keep seeing it being recommended as a lgbt drama. Did I miss something when I was watching it?

>>17967636
Well, they technically have their first kiss at the end of the first episode.
They had essentially been in a relationship for a while, but then she gets mad, pushes him away etc. This is just a more final resolution of that pattern.

>>17974697
>>17975059
Yes! That's the one, thank you very much!

>>17930931
Depending on your definition of "interesting", My Boss My Hero.

>>17974697
>>17975059
Any other shows like this?

>>17975027
Sanada Maru and Juhan Shuttai are my two favourite dramas. Also like Nobunaga Concerto and Love That Makes You Cry quite a bit.

Most of the dramas I've watched as they've aired (with only two exceptions), so I haven't seen a lot of the older well-regarded shows yet.

I cant say because i have never read the manga. But I enjoyed the show because this is the first time I have seen a monk as main lead. The show is very light and comfy

Japan Society in NYC had a mini festival of Yuzo Kawashima films. I watched three and they were pretty decent/interesting if you want to bridge the gap between classic Japanese film and New Wave.

Idk what series you're talking about. As far as I'm aware it's a new original drama by the guys who did Mother and Woman.

>>18002481
Just imagine she smells bad or smth.

cute girls are approached by men constantly. they would be forced to socialize. autism is seen as cute when it's a female. when it's a male, not so much

>>18002801
>cute girls are approached by men constantly. they would be forced to socialize.
That seems pretty unpleasant and not something they'd want to go for.

>>18002801
Being approached doesn't automatically create friends, you know. And being forced to socialize doesn't help if you don't know how.
>autism is seen as cute when it's a female.
Not in the real life, because real-life autismos are nothing like their "quirky" pop culture version. Nobody likes standoffish, tongue-tied weirdos.

Anyone got an Avistaz invite? I have both Jpop and AB invites to trade.

>>17875916
My favourite drama is Konna Koi no Hanashi from 1997.

I'm not sure if you can get your hands on it now but it should definitely be on your list.

Iwai is too uneven for my taste. And Swallowtail was more than 20 years ago.

I hope so. She's a cutie. I think her mother bit the hands that fed her.

I really don't know what to think about this.

I have finished Million Yen Women and I liked it. The overall aesthetic was rather pleasant. I don't really appreciate where the plot went in the second half (Yuki being behind invitations, and how Michi came up with it being her (If her looking his father up would be enough, why didn't other girls realise it when she spoke it? Couldn't it be just her trying to hide the content of invitation?).). But they cleaned it up rather nicely in the end (Midori taking Minami's place and murdering Yuki, and Hitomi moving in with Michi (I like happy, but reasonable endings.).).

Are pink movies worth watching? Do you watch them for the plot or to masturbate to actresses who don't have JAVs?

>>17875830
Any links or streams where I can watch Japanese channels like NHK and Tokyo MX?

ARTV is kill for good this time, before we could even put it in the OP so we wouldn't get the same question 5 times per thread

best alternative I have is http://mov3.co/
you can also find the mostly same streams on vaughlive all streamed by this sherming guy. Fewer channels than artv but pretty reliable, first used them years ago. If anyone has something better please share

>>18029666
RIP ARTV.

Thanks for the alternative, mov3 seems alright. There is only a couple of channels, but the quality is ok. It will have to do for now unless someone finds something better.
(I think using vaughlive would be rather bothersome considering lack of proper search option. Browsing badly titled streams in hope of finding something japanese doesn't sound fun.)

>>18028442
interested as well

>>18030715
maybe read the posts above you

>>17987729
Finally there's one

Just finished Kekkon Dekinai Otoko. At first was skeptical but I actually liked it. Anymore like that? Doesnt need to have an eccentric protagonist.

I had no idea how everything happened in sagrada reset 2. Explain to a brainlet like me

Anything besides >>18025895 on Netflix that is good?

>>18037137

Samurai Gourmet, Midnight Diner and Kantaro if you like food related shows

>>18037137
Hibana is good but it's certainly not for everyone.

>>18036095
I've only seen the anime but I doubt theres much difference in the overall story. Tell me which parts you didn't understand and maybe I could help

i want to get into j dramas but the ones ive checked out were so cheesy..

>>18029666
>http://mov3.co/
none of these links load for me unfortunately..

>>18042617
If you want recommendations you should tell us what those dramas were and other things you like.

Anyone have sauce on this?

>>18042689
The one I tried recently was Mischievous Kiss. I like comedy/romance stuff but I didn't really like the main girl in this one.

about a decade back I watched this drama about two high schoolers, and i think the girl was terminally ill and the show sometimes skipped to the future and showed the grown up male lead. i remember that one being pretty good.

is kekkon dekinai otoko /ourshow/

Any idea where I could find it?

>>18042987
No idea about full downloads but you can look up clips on youtube.

>>18041478
Okay. I understand if my question are unanswerable because it never happened in the anime.
How do they have powers?
What's the purpose of the bureau chiefs parents being frozen?
How will kei lead his new bureau?
How do they still have photos when the photo man left?
How does reset girl get to remember everything by just entering the photo?

>>18042629
Did you remember to enable flash?

I need help finding a gif of an asian girl showing some dude the different groups in the school cafeteria (jocks, nerds, party animals), I think it's a japanese comedy show and maybe you guys can help me out finding it.

The only serious drama I've ever liked is Hibana. Everything else I've seen has been too overacted for my liking. Am I out of luck trying to find something I'd enjoy?

How good is this?

>>18043297
>How do they have powers?
This was never answered, or at least it's not really important. In the flashbacks with Urachi's parents, the Bureau founders, it was implied that the whole world just suddenly woke up with abilities, but his father removed all knowledge of it from the world using his, and his mother constrained that knowledge to only Sakurada. That's why if you leave, you forget.

>What's the purpose of the bureau chiefs parents being frozen?
They were kept in stasis so that they would never die, which would lead to their abilities losing effect (and everyone in the world suddenly remembering abilities). That's why Urachi's plan was to only wake up his mother, which led to his father's ability being effective everywhere, even Sakurada, wiping the knowledge of ability from existence.

>How will kei lead his new bureau?
The anime never goes this far, it ends when he and Urachi agreeing to work together to find the best solution to controlling the abilities, not just wiping them out.

>How do they still have photos when the photo man left?
They kept a few, and if you mean the very last one Haruki opened after everyone's memories were wiped, there was a part where Souma sends Kei a message to give his favourite book to Haruki, and in it he hid one last picture. So when the Bureau asked him with the lady with the lie detecting ability, he was able to honestly say he did not have any of them left.

>How does reset girl get to remember everything by just entering the photo?
Because the photo was taken at a time where abilities still existed in Sakurada, so she remembered. That's why the Bureau wanted the photos gone.

>>18042736

Thanks anon! Cleared a lot of things in my mind.

>>18037137
i like Ito-kun AtoE a lot. though it might be better if you wait for the ending movie to come out.

>>18046319
It really sounds similar to a scene in Kamen Rider Fourze. Was the schoolgirl wearing a blue uniform?

>>18054240
Will Netflix even be getting the movie?

>>18056066
it was a netflix involved series. so i just assumed they would get the movie eventually.

>>18053269
Glad I could help.
If you're still curious I'd recommend watching the anime. It's medium length at 24 episodes but worth it if you enjoyed the general story and character interactions and want to see it a bit more in depth. No filler either since every episode eventually ties into the main plot and/or develops the characters. For a light novel anime adaptation it was very tightly written and competently directed, in my opinion. I don't involve myself much in anime communities, but I have the impression that it went underappreciated and under the radar for the most part.
Can't say anything about the original source though, as I haven't read it.

>>18060442

Anyone know what the theme song for Rikuoh is called?

>>18068648
Netflix

I have just finished Sanada Maru. I rather enjoyed it, but I don't quite understand why was the protagonist praised so much. He ultimately didn't really achieve anything. Toyotomi failed. Ieyasu lived. (Not really his fault, because Toyotomi kind of brought it on themselves, but still...)
Any recommendations on Taiga dramas (or just samurai-themed dramas in general), but focused more on swordsmen and swordplay than politics and daimyo?

>someone finally ripped good morning call 2
Ive something cheesy to watch now

>>17967636
what drama?

>>18003576
the one you replied to is probably a woman, they tend to be retarded

Any recommendations for movies focused on yakuza or yankees? I watched Hot Road, and that was good although the motorcycle gang wasn't really the focus, but the romance was nice. I saw some movie called crows (?) but that was way too wacky. People were throwing boulders and flying around and shit.

>>18084675
Blue spring
Yakuza Apocalypse
Why dont you play in hell
Beat takeshi films

Suggestions for pic related

>>17888099
I love Keyakizaka to death but I wouldn't bother with that show. It was a big step down from their debut Tokuyama Daigoro.

>>18072486
For Taiga dramas I recommend musashi. Its probably more in line with what you want to watch since its pretty much a story of how musashi becomes a legendary samurai and the people he fights and meets throughout his journey. Its pretty old but they should have the whole series subbed if you look hard enough. Another one I recommend is Ryomaden but a lot of plotting is involved in that show.

>>18084675
Drop is pretty good.

>>18084862
I don't understand her popularity. Maybe I've seen her in the wrong roles, but she's fairly plain and kinda boring. I mean I personally don't have a problem with her, it just struck me as odd.

Anyways, I suggest "Soratobu Kouhoushitsu", "Okitegami Kyoko no Biboroku", and "Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu".

>>18084862
Legal High series
Code Blue series
Smile

>>18084712
Blue spring was more depressing than anything, but apparently it's a classic. Not what I expected.

Yakuza apocalypse seems a bit too ridiculous for me, similar to crows zero, but with vampires.

I'm definitely going to check out Why don't you play in hell, and I have been working through Takeshi's catalogue. Thanks.

>>18084862
papa to musume

Just finished Hirugao movie the concluding film of the same series from 3 years ago.
It's sad that the guy died but at least it wasn't a bad end since she was pregnant with his child. Pity that she didn't find the ring in the end even though they spend so much time there.

I was considering watching it, because I have read and loved Vagabond manga, but from pictures it looked rather unappealing. If you recommend it I will check it out though. Thanks.

>>18086133
I am watching Samurai Gourmet at the moment, but it's short so I will probably finish it soon and pickup Musashi.

>>18086340
He's only in the movie. There's an unrelated drama series that just dropped on Netflix.

>>18086248
>>18086299

i wrote this drunk. i got the wrong drama.

>>18087057
I will warn you it is pretty dated and there's moments where it gets pretty cheesy but it hits that sweet spot of a samurai flick. I'd say give it 5 episode to see if you want to continue or drop it.

Any 80's~90's dramas recommendations?

>>18087849

>>18090449
>>18090609
These are great shows to start with. Best in their genre.

Other than Jun Ikeido adapted dramas, what are other good business dramas about underdog triumphs?

>>18085013
Her popularity essentially boils down to her Pocky commercials and her being cute in a way that women don't hate her. Popular actresses usually rank high in most hated actress rankings.

>>18093020
anything with kimutaku. he only does underdog triumph stories

>>18087849
>>18088944
Watch the well known ones like 101 Proposals, GTO, Double Kitchen, Beach boys, Love, Genration, Hoshi no Kinka, Hitotsu Yane no Shita, Perfect Love, Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake, Shomuni.

>>18084862
Twilight: Saya in Sasara

Do not, I repeat, do not waste your time watching Moteki.

While Mirai Moriyama does a good job acting, the protagonist is ultimately an unlikable manchild who throws away every open opportunity for romance, but then spends the rest of his time lamenting how horny he is. After a promising first two episodes, the plot dovetails into one girl's route and pretty much stays there for the duration of the show. What would have worked nicely, either as a formulaic 'girl of the week' or a full on romantic comedy drama, instead finds a halfway house - the plot is convoluted, the protagonist can't decide between sex and love, and ultimately ends up with neither. Maybe the movie has a decent resolution but I probably won't see it. I would say don't waste your time with this one.

>>18105223
manga was better

That's good cause I just ordered it

I realize that this is technically not Japanese but I really liked The Handmaiden, not the lesbians that was alright.

But I love movies set in that period of Japan, any suggestions for movies like that?

>>18114276
Age of shadows. Korean movie though.

>>18105223
Eh, I liked it when I watched it. It was fun.

I just watched Typhoon Club.
What the fuck do people like about this shitty movie?

>>18122016
We don't talk about the typhoon club. Ever.
But I can think of four reasons on that cover alone.

>>18041347
This Kamiya dude fucking cracks me up.

Any other like this? Liked the eyecandy and the setting.

>>18126700
Not sure what exactly you want. But give the rest of Akiko Nogi's shows a go if you enjoyed this.

How is JP cinema nowadays compared to the 50s-70s and 80s?

I recently watched Antiquarian Bookshop Biblia's Case Files and very much enjoyed it. Comfy show about people discussing books and solving book related mysteries. I even ended up reading a few of the stories they brought up. Plus Shioriko is qt as fuck.

>>18127531
That depends.

A movie set in modern or present time are pretty good.

Movies that are SF or Heroes are pretty much Anime/Manga/Game franchises.
These are all over the place some are GREAT like ff15 kingsglaive
and some not so good like Gatchaman (2013).

Classic theme (Samurai, Edo period)
Those are pretty good, but old stuff still stands the test of time.

Just do a quick google on what you want to watch.
If its a 大ヒット I am sure you have watched it already.

>>18122016
Is a nice movie. You must be under 20, or a white guy with yellow fever misleaded by the cover into thinking it was full of girls running around on Seifuku

>>18126700
This show kind of reminds me of Bakuman (only read the manga) with focus on different characters.

>>18127738
looks cozy
thanks anon

What can I say? I really enjoyed it.

Anyone can recommend some coming of age dramas?

>>18141336

Any Terrace House fans?

>>18127531
90s and early 2000s were amazing. nowadays it's absolute shit, the worse it ever been.

>>18142894
I watched a little bit of it. Young Japanese women aren't much different from American ones when it comes to interests, habits and hobbies.

>>18144325
I mean, it's absolute shit if you're looking for quality cinema
If you want melodramatic movies, and enjoy mixed media projects, then now is the best time ever

>>18142894
I have seen 5 or so episodes of the season with Kitahara in it. Seemed more stylish than reality tv I have seen in my country (Big Brother spinoffs and so on), but still rather boring.

>>18144755
As that was the first season, I don't think they had fully hit their stride yet. Half the fun comes from the panel, who weren't fully implemented until season 3.

>>18144440
I would disagree with this. While there is a lot that's similar, there's also a whole lot that's different. Just for example, the dating culture. In an American reality show everyone would be fucking by episode two. In terrace house though, people take their time and even just a single kiss is a huge deal.

>>18145432
>In an American reality show everyone would be fucking by episode two. In terrace house though, people take their time and even just a single kiss is a huge deal.
True but they both do things like asking guys they're not interested in "What kind of girls do you like?" I have no idea why they do that.

Kek I didn't know they have new year special

I hope they'll continue their fine works for season 7.

>>17875830
Is she the next Gakki?

>>18147682
I hope not. She needs good roles

>Variety shows like Gaki
I don't remember the last time there was a Gaki thread on /jp/ even though their new special is under fire from BBC news

Anyone here watch "Kenja no Ai" or "Platonic"? I watched first episode of those two and I don't realise the main heroine is same actress, Nakayama Miho. Which one do you recommend me to watch first?

It's very contrast in terms of atmosphere of the series and also the main actress itself. Don't want to ruin my impression just like when I watch Legal High first, then Hanzawa Naoki.

>>18158632
i watched kenja no ai. its very... artistic? the aesthetic is quite nice. story-wise its a slow character drama. dunno if i would really recommend it though.
