What are some good modern movies? Collecting some to binge watch over weekend. Have these so far

>Forest of Love
>It Comes
>The Third Murder

>>24179421
How old can modern be?

>>24179456
Basically things that are available in HD and don't look too ass on a big TV. 2010+ I guess?

>>24179421
I was going to rec some but it seems like most Japanese movies I've watched are older than 2010.
Some typical recs would be
Cold Fish
Confessions
Flying Colors
Wood Job
Shin Gojira
I Am a Hero
One Cut of the Dead
Outrage
Shoplifters
The Snow White Murder Case
100 Yen Love

The most visually striking Japanese movie is, of course, Hausu. It has a Criterion BD release.

One of the many women who had countless of affairs with him confessed to Shuukan Bunshun that they did it in an accessible toilet.

>>24180469
He had good sex

Stop watching manga adaptations
and wait for the thread to die off before starting a new one next time, you cross boarders.

>>24180469
What is wrong with that anyway?

>>24180761
Thank you Mr. Kitano.

This guy had such a squeaky clean image. Or that was my impression at least.

I've only ever watched Terrace House and I watched it with subtitles, where do I start gooners?

hotta mayu is a cutie pie

I finished watching the OG Terrace House a couple days ago. It was really good in general, but the last two cours were kinda meh, specially all that Kenken/Ryoko-chan/Michiko drama.
I couldn't wait much so I just marathoned the first three episode of BGITC and it feels kinda soulless. I hope it gets better in the next episodes. The music sucks tho, I need Taylor Swift and chasing cars and all that cool music from before.
Also, Yama-chan is married to Yu Aoi? WTF?

It's my wife's birthday! Now tell me your favorite movie/drama of her.

>>24180469

Is there anything on JP Netflix that's any good? So far I've enjoyed Time Taxi, Akagi, and Naked Director.

Watabe is such a piece of shit.

Sorry if this gets asked a lot but I'm having issues finding raw series to watch, preferably something to torrent.
The Pastebin did give some links but a lot of them seem to have died down. I'm not really looking for anything in particular since I'm still learning and want to add in watch raw shows into my training, so any long running series is fine.
Finding the more popular stuff should be easier right?

>>24239410
I'm retarded and didn't think to just search for largest file size on nyaa.
Ignore me and my dumb post.

>>24175956
Everything Takeshi Kitano related.
Sonatine and Hana-Bi for example.

>>24239410
Some ddl sites:
blog.naver.com/PostList.nhn?blogId=leeyj80
bagikuy.com
Kissasian.sh has mostly everything popular. But the quality isn't always good. I just use it as an index because the shows are tagged and sortable.

>>24220994
Manwhore

>>24245521
I heard nips half-blaming the girls as well for keep approaching him. I wonder what kind of magic Watabe use. Or he just that good at sex.

>>24245592
Money and fucking a famous guy.

Am I the only one that just can't get into Hanzawa Naoki?

It's so highly rated I feel like I'm missing out on something.

>>24180067
Wood job was so fucking good.

One of the best jap comedy for me.

>>24251552
Why can't you get into Hanzawa Naoki? Is the story? Characaters?

>>24251756
Story doesn't hook me at all.
Banking stuff ain't appealing to me and I'm not getting any cliffhanger out of it.

I'm only 3 episodes in though. Should I hang on?

>>24251552
>It's so highly rated I feel like I'm missing out on something.
You are but you can't do anything about it. You can't force yourself into liking something. Try it watching it again in a few years. In the mean time go look for something else. There was a show I wasn't interested in at all when I first saw it but then when I saw it again years later I loved it.

>>24251816
>>24251552
It's nothing special. The only good thing about it is the lead actor and he's better in Legal High.

>>24251816
It's basically two stories with five episodes each, much like Shitamachi Rokketo (both based on books by the same author by the way). If you're not into it by the 3rd episode, you're not going to like it.

>>24253112
>>24253242
>>24253476
It might also be because I watched Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita right before and enjoyed it thoroughly as pleb as I might sound.

There's also the fact that overacting turn me off and it's almost in all the mainstream japanese drama. Is there a cultural reason why it's so prevalent? Is it a leftover from kabuki?

>>24254058
Yes, Japan didn't go the cultural revolution of method acting like the rest of the world and only pursued theater acting. It's not like they can't do method, maybe no-name actors, but they go with the norm which is theater. Films are where method acting is mainly displayed but it's only a few directors.

>>24254058
>It might also be because I watched Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita right before and enjoyed it thoroughly as pleb as I might sound.
But it is really a good show. One of the best in years.

>>24251552
>>24254058
Hanzawa Naoki is special because it highlights one of the biggest problems Japan faces every day and does so in a genre that Japan doesn't usually do right, thrillers.The plot is exciting while also offering a sort of "hero" of the salraymen work culture. Unlike something like Shitamachi Rocket, which is pure salrayman small business GOOD power fantasy, HN constantly puts the main character in dire situations and he has to use his wits to outsmart everyone. It may be unrealistic but it's in a way we wish was real. A lot of us here either live or have lived in Japan so the drama really hits close to home.

Don't mind this anon>>24253242 who always offers his opinion when the show is brought up. He doesn't seem to "get" it even though we've explained it to him. His tastes are just different so maybe yours will be too.

>>24254058
>I watched Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita right before and enjoyed it thoroughly as pleb as I might sound.
This show is way better than HN and one of the best recent releases in general, nothing pleb here.

>>24254527
How is dakara good? Because the actors aren't well known?

>>24254810
The story, direction and and overall production were great.

>>24254810
Watch it and find out. There's only 8 episodes a 30 minutes.

>>24254970
>>24254979
I watched it until the the headache-inducing scene at the restaurant. Is this show good cause there's a tweeest somewhere down the road?

>>24255958
Nah it's good from episode 1.

Whats some good yakuza/crime TV shows/Movies.

Currently watching Giri/Haji and want to find some more.

>>24257399
Check out Kitano Takeshi's and Miike Takashi's movies.
For example Sonatine or the Outrage trilogy by Kitano Takeshi. Ichi the Killer or The Black Triad Society trilogy by Miike Takashi.

Anybody else watched this? I thought it was really good all things considered. I know manga adaptations can be hit-or-miss for some but I loved it. In particular I felt the manga/anime's style was translated to live action well and the OST was simply perfect. The story was condensed but it was still competently told

>>24258700
I don't watch show for manchildren

>>24258700

>>24258700
It was okay and entertaining. I preferred the Tokyo Ghoul movie that came out the same time. (webm unrelated)

it was a miss, but kubo said it was good, so it is good

Last month I had complained here that there was a bunch o Nobuhiko's Obayashi's movies without translated subtitles, but guess what? They started to appear.

After years I finally go to watch Lonely Heart and... didn't liked.

>>24260605
Then I watched this dorama from 1997, "Aoi Tori", that tries to hide what it really is with a short romance between the protagonista and the mother of the girl, but in the end the love story was really between the protagonist and the little girl all along.
I kid you not, the man is jailed TWO TIMES and this still isn't enough to keep him away from her.

>>24260605
>After years I finally go to watch Lonely Heart and... didn't liked.
It was subpar compared to his other movies set in that scenic town. By the way, his final movie is now available online. I will probably watch it this weekend.

>>24217432
I wonder if they resumed shooting it

>>24218896
It seems popular enough though but I know popularity in Japan doesn’t equal quality, well everywhere not just in Japan.

>watch a movie adaptaion of the novel about sports club
>find out that in the original draft two main characters were fucking

>>24272525
It's funny how Yamauchi is still seething about the M-1's results.

>>24272818
Yamauchi said he was only saw the M1 as a worthwhile venture in the last few years if they managed to get 1st, but despite coming 2nd Kamaitachi has been absolutely everywhere since December so I think it worked out.

Nina so sweet

Are variety shows back to normal yet?

>>24278329
No, the world is still well caught up in the scam. Honestly, at this point it feels like they're going for a "you'll never be safe, never return to work" angle until they can get everyone chipped.

>>24257928
I second Outrage, but there was no need for the movies beyond the first one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDQavTtJsho
Ichikawa Kon is just now starting to get his due in the west as a great director.
His low profile is good for us, because a lot of his movies are up on youtube.

>>24262569
doubt it, i heard corona's still at large in japan

>>24254058
Hanzawa Naoki sure is fun and influential but it's also mostly just nationalistic right-wing power fantasy, like any isekai anime(Shield Hero/SAO), but made for depressed salaryman instead of depressed otaku.

Dakara Oshi or Legal High are much better as far as these dramas aclaimed by everyone go, so you already are in the right path.

Forest of Love.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I love it. I think it has become my favorite Japanese movie ever. If you haven't watched it yet, drop everything you were planning on doing and watch it. It's that good. Kippei Shiina is a freaking legend. If you're a fan of charismatic, high energy psychopath kind of characters you will love this.

>>24200751
I can't believe she's playing a sexdoll in her last movie and she STILL won't show her tits

>>24218896
I liked the first part until Satoshi Tsumabuki dies. Weird and creepy. After that it's all downhill.

>>24260605
Four Sisters just got subtitles too. Though I thought it would be better, on paper it looked pretty cozy but not really.

>>24285982
I noticed.
At this point, why not watch after all?

I just watched some good movies.
Forgiven Children - same director as Liverleaf, same theme of bullying. They show a boy getting killed in this movie. Tense because unpredictable.

>>24325775
you have to be personally invested in the members to find it funny

>>24325775
It gets better as it goes on. I never finished season 1. I was dying laughing when Akiyama was doing the Chinese massage parlor bit with Kenkoba. I think that was like season 4

Holy shit, finally. Still a month away though.

good ?

Is Amachan worth the large download space ?

>>24351820
Not the best Asadora but definitely one of the best modern Asadora.

>>24351840
What us considered the best ? old or modern

I've been watching a lot more international stuff recently and checked out All About Lily Chou-Chou and after watching it it just weirdly made me want to watch something soothing and relaxing, yet grounded. But not Terrace House, something definitely scripted (throughout).

I can't quite put it into words, but can you recommend some soothing series where Japanese actors don't always yell and overact? Something very low-key (and ideally not taking place in Tokyo). The time period, date of release don't really matter, just a scripted grounded movie or TV show.

>>24351963
A Chorus of Angels

>>24351820
Definitely

>>24351885
Old asadora are the golden age, nothing new could ever be compared to them.

>>24352042
Oh, looks like exactly what I was looking for, thanks I'll check it out.

>>24351885
I should rephrase , I meant to ask what is considered the best regardless of being old or modern

>>24353099
For the past 15 years I don’t think there are asadora that garnered more attention than Amachan and Hanbun Aoi so you have that.

https://twitter.com/owarai_natalie/status/1274869794580226048

>>24361010
The Legend of the Stardust Brothers, from '85. there was a remake a few years ago (i haven't seen it). but the original is great including the soundtrack (especially if you like 80's new wave).
>>24351963
i haven't seen Lily Chou-Chou yet, but i have seen a chunk of Iwai's 90's movies. in terms of movies, i think quite a few of the big name (aka won an award/favorable screening at some int'l film festival at some point) directors from that 90's/early 00's time period have made films with rather muted or hushed acting performances. however a good chunk of those have little bouts of drama/energy.. not sure if that kills the "low-key" description (i feel Iwai's films i've seen fall in this category but like i said i haven't seen Lily Chou-Chou yet). and "definitely scripted".. i think of someone like Hirokazu Koreeda's movies which, while there's obviously a script, you can tell from a good chunk of the scenes that the actors were given a lot of wiggle room (occasionally giving that hyper-realism feel, most clear example is his film Distance, but none of his other films have that same level of documentary feel). anyway without overthinking on your descriptors i recommend Koreeda's 2011 "I Wish" (Kiseki). simple story, realistic scenario/characters, easy to watch/relaxing, and it takes place in kyuushuu and western honshuu.

>>24368528
I downloaded one episode once out of curiosity and it was about a guy taking cat footage and someone narrating it

>>24349157
Yes, it's a really fun show

>>24390230
Oh okay

I keep seeing comedy and drama on almost every drama description on avistaz but they rarely seem to be remotely comedic. Does this have any comedy in it ?

I guess this is Yuji Sakamoto's attempt at writing GTO. Restrained and realistic story set in scenic Shonan.

Watched

mamiya shotaro's latest movie and enjoyed it.

Only good thing was that it's only 5 episodes. The girl was seriously retarded.

>>24425972
running in the 90s is a new way i like to be

>>24430914
So far I'm liking the show even though it's a typical one just with a fantasy twist. Also, seeing 90s japan is nice.
>>24433176
me too lol

Is hana-bi a good action movie to watch with my dad? Or should I put on some hong kong cop drama

>>24251552
Not really, it wasn't that good. I think best part of the show was that guy who was bullied at work place. Naoki stuff was rather basic "cat & mouse" stuff you see often in J-shows. Genre was just new thing and good actors. One of my problems was that the show couldn't keep it's tone. The guy who got bullied, his part felt like drama, Naoki stuff was like your usual up beat detective stuff, but maybe bit more serious, but then there was occasions like that gay inspector who was just gag character... I don't know what I'm even trying to say. It's not a good show. Just watch Legal High, it's straight out funny and Argaki Yui is hot in it.

>>24445644
You bet your ass. You and your dad should be thankful for witnessing pure unfiltered raw Kitano kino.

>>24445644
>>24446199
All of Kitano are kino but it all comes down to the person watching it. Kitano has his own style just like Tarantino's in the west. You either love or hate it.

>>24446240
True. My pleb sister couldn’t get into Kitano’s movies and I should have known better given her tastes but I tried.

After asking that I wandered off to DJT and found that they have a pretty big database with jap subs. Not everything is there but still a good amount of stuff.
https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/library/sub.html

>>24453837
Yeah true! I was looking for amachan JP subs and couldn't find them anywhere but someone mentioned to check itazuraneko an

>>24453598
>>24453733
like iu who travels back in time

>>24455379
That guy does look like the one in the manga.

>>24455379
Does this have a strong romance focus?

Why aren't matches on mega?

>>24445644
If you want an ACTION movie then no, Hanabi is not a good choice. If your dad is a normal kind of 'i just want to watch some guys kicken ass' kind of guy, then it will probably put him to sleep. If you want to stick with Kitano then Outrage is your best bet, maybe Violent Cop. I'd recommend a Miike yakuza movie but he injects weird kinky sex into all of them, that might be a deal breaker for a movie with pops. You're probably better off with a hong kong work.

I'm assuming Forest of Love and Forest of Love:Deep Cut are basically the same thing as the different Love Exposure cuts, if so which one has the better pacing ? Should I watch the deep cut alone or the movie then deep cut?

>>24462338
I only watched the movie but apparently the series is better and adds more backstory. I only found out about deepcut after the movie so I kinda regret not going for it, but still loved it. I'd say go with deepcut.
>Sion Sono produced his feature film “The Forest of Love” for Netflix, in 2019. Now, the streaming platform is releasing the miniseries that was part of the initial project with the director. In seven episodes of between 32 and 51 minutes, the material now receives an extension that adds greater uniformity and harmony to the whole concept. It could be argued that it is a bit irritating why a compressed form appeared, when the series is obviously the original – probably marketing reasons play an important role here.

>>24458504
The girl gets infatuated, so she joins the army. So, yeah.

>>24179421
I liked Survival Family.

>>24453837
Wait until you realise the vast majority aren't properly timed so you have to do it yourself at the start and after every ad break for whatever raw you have.

I just watch whatever's on Netflix instead, it's easier.

>>24474995
Yeah, been having fun with it today. Good thing that it can be made on the go but still not too convinient.

>>24175956
Looks like a grown-up Yagi Miki

Help please identify this movie I watched in Wowow cable channel.

It's about a wife getting seduced by a stranger through the phone while her husband is in the hospital.

The stranger is actually hired by someone to take revenge on the husband by seducing the wife.

This guy installs hidden cameras inside the home and calls the wife pretending to be a stranger looking for phone sex.

She falls for the temptation thinking he was just some random horny guy, she doesn't know she was being watched through the hidden cameras.

Eventually he convinces her to do more kinky stuff, and they have sex.

I can't remember if they had sex in the hospital room while the husband was unconscious, maybe it was a different movie.

At the end of the movie, the husband was discharged from the hospital and he was led to the hideout of the guy.

The husband was about to shoot the guy but the wife blocked the shot.

>>24389985
This shit was dumb fun

I like horror

anything comfy worth watching?

It’s July, where are the new dramas?

what core is this

>>24481028

I haven't seen any of them, but it kind of sounds like something out of the Perfect Education series. Eight whole movies about creeps kidnapping girls and having the girls eventually falling in love with them.

>>24521178
stand up

Any recommendation for detective mystery? More whodunnit like Poirot/Conan with realistic ingenious murder tricks, less cringy emotional drama.

I enjoyed season 1 of Galileo and Trick. I couldn’t stand Hard Nut, there’s just something wrong with their lighting, acting, or something else.

>>24532224
And Okitegami just looks ridiculous.

>>24532224
Kagi no Kakatta Heya

>>24190630
Only things I've seen with her are Legal High and Mix, so I'll go with Legal High.

Pretty interesting episode of Suiyoubi, with the staff talking about which setsus were most challenging to do.
Next episode is in 2 weeks but it'll be the first 'new' episode in 3 months.

Are there any good sites to dl old jap movies or I have to buy DVDs? Did anyone try rarefilm.net?

>>24533898
Avistaz

>>24533888
I enjoyed it.

>>24533912
how to get an invite? isn't this just for newer dramas?

>>24534370
Ignore that anon. For some reason he always says Avistaz when someone asks about a movie despite being impossible to get an invite there. I know because I’m a member there too. I dunno what’s his motive exactly but don’t waste your time.
If you can’t find it anywhere then either buy it or give up.

what horror films should i watch?

>>24534558
>I dunno what’s his motive exactly
The Southeast Asian autist is just bragging, that’s all.

>>24512611
Great show, I wish it had more episodes. Kyoko Yoshine is perfect for her role.

>>24534558
>>24534611
I'm really sorry, It won't happen again.

>>24534370
>>24534558
They open to registration from times to times, just create and habit of visiting regularly to get those oppenings.
And with enough points you can invite people. Ask someone to buy an invitation for you (but the person becomes responsible for you so it's hard).

>>24535880
I wonder when they will open them, been waiting for months

i got in through open reg back like 3 years ago. i've given three invites to my fellow jp learning friends and i gave one out to a stranger on here late last year. just keep asking, hell be pushy who cares. personally i'd give another one out to an anon if i can have at least a little faith that the person will use it properly long term and not just blast through some downloads, tank their ratio and abandon the site.

>>24187290

Is Avistaz open reg just sign up and you're in? When I made an account, I just made an application and gave them screencaps from other trackers, did I happen to apply during open reg?

>>24540729
do they have rare torrents, older movies, not so famous movies?

>>24550653
I wanna know too, don't wanna waste my time and effort on a website that only uploads new dramas and bullshit.

>>24550653
Yes. Ask for something and I can check for you.

>>24550832
Any early Miike Takashi films?
Shisso Feraari 250 GTO
Oretachi wa Tenshi Ja Nai
Daisan no Gokudo

>>24550926

>>24550989
You could have just replied no. Clearly they aren't listed.

>>24550832
Not bad, some of them are nowhere on the web.

>>24551006
I thought maybe you'd be interested in some of the other things on the list.

>>24551028
Meant for>>24550989

>>24551033
Yeah, some good stuff there.

>>24550926
>>24551006

you said "any early Miike" and he showed. you that there is some fairly early stuff, stop complaining

>>24551041
But not that much, Miike has tons of early movies and they're not there

>>24551055
I didn't make this post>>24551006

>>24551068
True, I'm mostly interested in his pre-theatrical debut stuff and they're not there. Still some movies I couldn't find anywhere are on that list.

>>24551093
If it's available on DVD or betamax or something, buy it and upload.

>>24551146
I believe those were straight-to-VHS films. Also I’m cheap as shit, reason why I’m not buying Miike’s DVDs on Amazon despite not finding them on the web.

>>24551202
I guess you'll have to wait for someone with the same interest that can afford those VHSs.

>>24551234
Don’t think that will ever happen but I’m praying it will. For the time being I’ll just wait until they open registrations to download the ones I couldn’t find.

>>24551280
which ones did you see that you need? i know i have the ferrari one already dled because i watched it last year.

>>24551821
Like 10 of the listed titles and I'm pretty sure it's not the full list but Ferrari is my priority.

>>24551821
Does your copy have subs?

torrent when

you can name some others, it only takes a sec to upload and i watch miike's movies anyway
>>24552164
no subs for it on avistaz only raw

>>24553114
Bro, know that you're the epitome of based and that I love you, bro.
Are you sure I'm not being a nuisance here? Don't wanna shower you with requests, even if you do have them.

>>24553269
安倍が悪かけん
it's no big deal, you can name some. do you watch a lot of japanese movies, different directors? do you plan on being interested in japanese (or other "asian") cinema for a long while? i don't mind sending an invite but like i said before i'd like it to go to somebody who'd use the site properly and for the long term. otherwise it's not worth it, a movie here or there you can just look elsewhere or get somebody else to upload it or something.

>>24550832
Hebi ichigo (2003)?

>>24554462
not OP but what's the main concern, seeding? you don't want somebody who will just download and delete?

>>24554462
>it's no big deal, you can name some.
Thanks. Like I said I don't wanna be a nuisance so I'll just settle with this one and be thankful.
>do you watch a lot of japanese movies, different directors? do you plan on being interested in japanese (or other "asian") cinema for a long while?
I've been watching dramas for 16 years but just last thread I started to have interest in movies after an anon posted a list of directors and I've been torrenting all of their works like crazy, I just finished downloading Kitano Takeshi's works. So there are shit tons of movies from a dozen or more of directors I have to download.
>i don't mind sending an invite but like i said before i'd like it to go to somebody who'd use the site properly and for the long term
I can see myself downloading like crazy for a long time. I do have a question though, how do seeding work exactly in such websites? I remember joining similar websites and after downloading one file and seemingly letting it seeding for a day or more I still got a warning for having a low ratio and I couldn't download any other torrent. I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong but if I can get a handle on how to do it properly I'll be downloading and seeding forever.

>>24561522

>have to download
How about you watch some of those things instead of obsessively downloading? Hoarding things when you haven't even watched everything on your drive is a kind of addiction.

>>24561702
I'm not hoarding, I'm actually watching the stuff I download. I'm watching 1 movie per day and already finished watching all of Kitano's works and now I'm watching Oshii Mamoru's.

>>24561522
> I started to have interest in movies after an anon posted a list of directors
Which list?

>>24561987
This anon's
>>/jp/thread/S23908981#p24094497

>>24560797

>>24561702
>Hoarding bad
Seeding torrents is all about hoarding, feller.

ju-on was okay, but I think it's more about a cursed house than a cursed mother and child like in the movies

>>24553114
Can I request some Miike movies? I seriously apologize for asking.

>>24562294
I don't know how those things work, could you share torrent files so guys here can download movies for themselves? If somebody cheated would the site know the torrent came from your account?

Really need to watch some recent stuff

>>24575566
Yes, the site knows.

https://nyaa.si/view/1259875
I'm pretty much brand new to J-Drama, is there anything in here that I should watch?

>>24583118
Most of them are not good but are fine for beginners. The 90s and early 00s dramas are safe picks.

>>24582155
Thanks for telling me it now exists.

>>24187290
Thank you.

>>24583444
Thanks, how many episodes would you recommend, before dropping a show and trying a new one?

>>24586562
I wouldn’t drop any show. I might have said not good but they’re not unwatchable. It’s just for some of us here who’ve been watching dramas our entire life, we had enough of cliches and popular leads dramas, what we look for is good stories, good directing and good acting. Most of popular dramas (which are basically the entirety of that torrent file) lack one or more of these traits. For a beginner it’s absolutely fine and I recommend you watching them just to get the gist and then you can dig deeper for kinos, which let me say are extremely rare in the Japanese drama industry. If you want the good shit then watch Japanese movies.

By the way, take a look at the pastebin on the OP, it’s outdated and lacks some titles especially from the last 10 years but overall it’s full of highly-acclaimed dramas (doesn’t mean they’re great, just popular).

>>24180469
In a girl's lizard brain, having sex with him puts the girl on par with or higher than Nozomi Sasaki.

>>24587198
Thanks. I knew about Japanese movies, but I have always gravitated more towards tv shows. Movies are good, but I get more from watching a show unfold.
I will look through both of the pastebins again. I noticed that the scifi category still only has one show in it, from the last time I posted in this general(Jin 2009), which I enjoyed.

>>24586562
One episode is usually enough. If you don't like the characters / actors then it's usually a safe drop, plots in these rarely are worth sticking around for.

First time /jp/ poster please be kind
Read the paste in, what I lost want to know though is there some kind of YouTube stream that just has random Japanese garbage playing constantly?

I kinda just want the noise and no context visuals while I do shit, I don't wanna pick out things to look at otherwise I'm gonna feel shit if it's actually good

>>24589182
Thanks. I figured that Japanese tv wasn't going to be that different, from what I am used to. But I thought that it was best to check to make sure that it wasn't common for shows to greatly improve in the first few episodes, where I would want to watch more than just one, before deciding.

>>24583118
The [H-M] batch seems to have the better ones. Not saying that the 1st batch isn't good though.

recommend me some karencore japanese films/series

>>24600718
Monster Parent (2008)

is she attractive, /jp/?

>>24604331
In the 90s when she and her sister were those ''weird'' models.

>>24258700
This was awful and reminded me why I hate bleach

>>24285771
Check out the rest of Sono Dion's filmography, particularly Love Exposure and Cold Fish.
Forest of Love is good, but it does retread a lot of old territory.

>>24561522
ratio matters for this site too. i don't remember the specifics but it's probably something like if you go past 5 GB of downloaded material, they'll start to penalize you if you have a lopsided download-heavy ratio. you want uploads to be higher than downloads as much as possible. the easy trick to do is this: you can search for torrents that have a gold star icon, that means free leech. download big files with the gold star icon, leave your torrent client up and let time build your upload amount.
if that sounds doable and you have adequate hard drive space, send me an email you will remember or a way to get in contact w/ you to send email (discord temp email etc).

"The Way to Fight" and "Yakuza Demon"

OH NO

>>24611727
Good riddance.

>>24611727
what happened?

>>24611727
Probably will suicide in 2 weeks.

why did they boot kanna-chan out of gochi?

>>24609576
If leaving my client running and the movies I downloaded seeding is all it takes then I think I can do it. But just to make sure, you won't be blamed for anything if I somehow fucked up something? I don't wanna fuck you over.
I have an e-mail but I don't feel comfortable posting it here, we can talk through Twitter or discord. We can PM each other on a website called Pokemon Showdown, you just type a nickname without registering.

>>24623397
I didn't know. After reading an article, apparently Fujimon was the one who urged her to retire.

>>24611727
can anybody give me a quick rundown
who is she

Oshin has been a journey and I'm thankful for the rec pastebin for it. This series has kept me really engaged the whole way through right up to post WWII. Though I've been finding the last section of Oshin's life where she is old to be boring personally.

Does anyone know when Miss Minami Hamabe's new TV drama, Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru, is going to be aired?

It should have aired last Wednesday, but it was delayed. I'm not sure if it will be aired tomorrow at 10PM JST on NTV.

>>24628583
No one knows yet.

Miyasako got his 1 million subs already while Ryo still stuck in 600k. His haters must be seething hard.

>>24623244
What happened? I watched monitoring around 2018-2019. They were billed as the ideal celebrity couple. They'd do pranks about their marriage being on the rocks behind the scenes, but dokkiri seikou! Kek, guess not.

>Shoplifters
>Survival Family
any other movies that are in a similar vein? they had a comfy feeling to them

>>24609576
how many invites do you have? can I join in too?
I know a promise doesn't mean anything here, but I promise I will play by the rules, if all I need is to upload more than I dl
I watch like 20, 25 jap movies per month, Kurosawa, Kobayashi, Ozu... but I watched all the most famous movies and I can't find older or less famous movies
I have a list of like 2k jap movies I can't find

>>24637274
haven't seen survival family yet, but if it's a big, bright (pun) and comedic film like the director's other famous movies try swing girls and water boys. shoplifters is by koreeda, his similar movies are 歩いても歩いても and 海よりもまだ深く, there's also 奇跡 which is particularly lighthearted. as for something out of the director scope you might like a movie called 永い言い訳
>>24638720
as of right now i only have one, sorry i wish i could help you.

it was nice story for a short series

>>24627455
Is it heavy drama? I haven't watched Grave of the Firelies yet since I'm not sure if I can take the tearjerking epic depression the movie might bring.
