Stop watching manga adaptations

>>25392164
Thank you Mr. Kitano

Finished watching Ultraman Tiga today, It was my first Ultraman and I loved it, what do you guys think of it?

>>25392182
>>/m/

>>25392164
No.

>>25392164
>>25392180
Do you reply to yourself or are there two of you?

It started slow like One Cut of the Dead, but I was laughing at the climax. The amusing ending reminded me of a Scorsese movie lmao.

>>25404870
Based. Miike is one of the directors who can make good manga adaptations—Salaryman Kintaro being my favorite of his manga adaptations.

>>25408347
This but Koroshiya Ichi instead.

>>25392182
I love me a bit of tokusatsu, but /m78/ over on /m/ is where you wanna be, friend.

>>25392164
I watched some manga movies from that list from the previous thread and they were good, some manga adaptations are fine to watch

>>25426049
Fuck I remember seeing this movie before but can't remember the title.

What was it?

>>25427020
her love boils bathwater

>>25427629
Yeah that's it.
Good movie would recommend.

>>25423557
Himezu is genuinely great.

>Our Little Sister
>After the Storm
>Shoplifters
Kore-eda is based as fuck.

>>25430276
The holy trinity. I like his other films (especially Still Walking) but those three in just 3 years is just incredible.

>>25426049
I like this movie but there's no way this move doesn't result in even more bullying in real life.

>>25438379
RIP king

I must say that the Adventure of Denchu Kozo is great Tsukamoto movie. It may not explore themes like Tetsuo does but it is so much fun. 45 minutes of complete insanity.
Is Tetsuo 2 good?

>>25438379
F

The Kakegurui live action series is fucking God-tier.

>>25429488

I really like Joe Odagiri in it too, he plays the cool, detached attitude so well

>>25426049
picked up
>>25448030
the movie is meh though

I really want to watch this movie? Did anyone watch it and has English subtitles?

Name: Under your bed (2019)

Is there any movie that I supposed to like if my fav one is Ai no mukidashi? yea, Meme Exposure

>>25462495
It is also one of my favourites. Not really similar but I enjoyed Himizu, 100 Yen Love and Shoplifters a lot.

>>25430276
all 10 of his full-lengths are good (not counting the french one from last year). least favorite was the blowup doll one, but even that was really memorable.

>>25462495
This movie is great definitely in my top 5. I recommend all the other films of Sion Sono if you liked this one, i'm pretty sure you will like his other stuff as well if you haven't already watched them.

>>25462495
Sono never really made a movie similar, though I'd say Tokyo Tribe and Why Don't You Play In Hell both have similar main female characters at least, if you liked Hikari Mitsushima in LE

>>25430276
does /jp/ like our little sister? i thought it would be too feminine for a place like here

>>25468053
Feminine or not, it is a good movie.

>>25468053
Legit one of my favorite movie. More Japanese directors and screenwriters need to learn that you don't need unnecessary drama and conflict to make good films.

does anyone know where I can find the [D-W]Katsu release of HERO 2001? All I can find online is the MagicStar release which seems to be a rebroadcast with some cuts. It doesn't help that the only soft subs I could find were timed to the Katsu release and are off sync to the MagicStar release

any ideas where I can find the entirety of vermillion pleasure night english subbed? Wouldn't call it a drama so I don't think it would be on any of those streaming sites or on nyaa either

IMO the Spiral arc was rushed as fuck toward the end. Also Isayama was underwhelming and it feels like all the bad guys are trying to become memes with those crazy faces and zingers. Still S2 is ok

>>25510294
I'm the fat guy, but not fat

>>25504062
the show gives me old school soap opera feels

>>25515797
why is that guy wearing makeup?

Hanzawa just can't get a break

Yeah this is pretty good

Does anyone know if "Operation Z" is translated?
Here's the description.
The financial health of Japan has fallen into a crisis. The country has accumulated more than 1 quadrillion yen of debt. Prime Minister Takamori Ejima gathers 4 elite finance bureaucrats and tells them for the benefit of Japan's future, they need to reduce the country's annual expenditure in half. The 4 elite finance bureaucrats work under the name of Operation Z and tackles the almost impossible mission of reducing the nation's annual expenditure by 50%.

>>25505093
>IMO the Spiral arc was rushed as fuck toward the end
It was. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic but it could have been stretched more, it felt like they squeezed 2 episodes in 1.
>Also Isayama was underwhelming
Isayama was great though, everyone is praising his character work, not sure why you're saying that.
>and it feels like all the bad guys are trying to become memes with those crazy faces and zingers
That's been one of the drama's selling points since S1 though.
>Still S2 is ok
I'm enjoying the second arc so much. Hanzawa vs the Gov should be an epic clash.

>>25531859
This lil drama was fun. I recommend it if you're into political/corporate themes.

>>25392164
Surely there are some exceptions? Rurouni Kenshin? Mugen no Jūnin?

>>25540690
Thermae Romae was fun, if you're into that kind of thing

There is a tv show version of Love Exposure with 5 hour runtime. Does it restore any cut content or is it added openings/endings?

>>25554282
It's the definitive edition.

>>25554282
It's the best version. But the subs that exists for it are pretty bad.

>>25540690
Pay him no heed and watch what you want, anon. I secretly suspect that's not even the real Bīto, but you didn't hear that from me...

what are some good japanese thrillers?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpFBVwxLlQA
Funny episode.

I might be a long shot but anons in these threads were kind enough to help me on previous occasions; I'm searching for subtitles for the movie 'The House of Wooden Blocks (積木の箱) 1968 by Yasuzō Masumura'. I'm almost certain that there are no english ones available, but I was hoping that someone might know a place were I could find ones in any other language which I could machine translate or something like the japanese script. Thanks for anyone who could offer a suggestion.

I need help understanding the greatness in Kurosawa. /tv/ is of no help at all. I just watched all three of these, and.... they were just Okay. But, i guess i feel underwhelmed cause Kurosawa is built as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, and stuff like Hidden Fortress inspired Star Wars and Rashumon is supposed to be so clever.
but when i watched them. these were just my thoughts

>Seven Samurai
all the characters are as deep and complex as One Piece characters. Which isnt a bad thing, but this whole film feels like some shonen anime. I dont get the serious and direness of the situation. it just feels like a comedy. Like, if you compare something like Ben Hur and the 10 commandments to this, Ben Hurr is a much more serious film thats considered an epic. In 7 samurai, 50% of the film is just the fake-samurai cracking jokes and going commando everywhere. When the film shows hes torn how he sees the baby is born the same way he was, like i dont get if im supposed to feel a deep emotion or not cause the character is a clown for the majority.

>Rashumon
it wasnt as artsy or clever as i thought. When i hear "a story told in different persectives" I thought it was going to be exploring the concept of Parallax; how a character at different vantage points tell a different story. but really, its more about each character describing the degree of a whore the wife is. Like thats the whole film; how big of a whore the wife really is. the ending is kind of deep on the moral side; ill give it that, but it didnt blow me too much away.

>hidden fortress
pretty much my same feeling with Seven Samurai; its mostly a comedy. The two protagonists who are supposed to be the inspiration for R2D2 and C3PO are more akin to Spongebob and Patrick than they are star wars. The battle scene is like obi wan and darth vader though

I tried looking up online "why are these films great" and all i see are
>it influenced star wars
okay, but star wars isnt really considered "high art" and more a blockbuster popcorn flick
>the fight scenes are magnificent
okay, but fight scenes making a film good or bad is something you say for capeshit.


I really dont get these films. Everyone WORSHIPS these films. Like they are the greatest of all time.
but i really dont get whats so great about them

Are female yakuza kino?

>>25578259
They're great foreign vintage films. Hype is hype whenever it comes from. If you don't get it then there's probably nothing more you can get from it.

>>25515960
actors wear makeup you retard. also asian countries don't have the same stigma against guys wearing makeup like western countries do.

>>25578259
You have to remember that most of the stuff you talk about (One Piece characters, R2D2 and 3CPO) were basically inspired by Kurosawa films. I guess it lies in the perspective appreciation of which work of art, any of it that is better in your eyes: that work which did it first, or the one which refined it. It's understandable to looking at those films in the modern lenses as unimpressive or boring but also understand that at the time, there's nothing quite like it therefore people think it's great, unique maybe even groundbreaking.
Personally i think there's several good aspects of Kurosawa that sadly, slowly forgotten; and most of his good aspects that is replicated thousand of times over thus not as impressive now; but i still think in my eyes that he's a great filmmaker even for today's standard.

>>25577217
Is there even a non-VHS version of this available?

>>25582181
One of the first things that comes up when you google the movie + "subtitle" is a site that a says that a dvd of the movie with english subtitles is available at uc berkley library, which of course doesn't do me much good but technically they seem to exist subtitles for it. The video file of the movie that I have also seems to be dvd not vhs quality.

>>25589260

But those were supposed to be serious scenes and those faces just made it difficult for me to take it seriously.

>>25598054
I watched 15 mins of this. It's like the plot is constantly trying to make you mad in order to create some payoff at the end. So many jdramas do this and I don't like it, really generic tool for japanese screenwriters. Is the show going to keep doing this? I thought it would be a cute romantic drama that makes me feel nice.

>>25600847
>Is the show going to keep doing this?
Episode 2 had some light scenes.
>I thought it would be a cute romantic drama that makes me feel nice.
I'm not sure, but I think this season's romcom is the one with Mikako Tabe. I didn't watch it.

It's so lonely without you, anons.

Thank you!
The UC Berkley thing you found seems to be film rolls, which I assume was only shown at some festival or event. As far as I can tell there's never been a commercial release of this in English.
If I have some time left over in the future I might end up subtitling it myself.

New season of Documental is out, but who knows when it will actually be uploaded somewhere.

Miu404 is pretty bland

>>25610415
Yeah, it was Itazura na Kiss, though I haven't watched the live action drama of it.

Can anyone recommend a good Kamen Rider series to start with? I'm looking at some random list I found and it suggests Ryuki and Blade.

Holy fuck this was 90% shit. Don't ever watch this.

Skips a fuckton of the anime, but I didn't hate it

>hurr durr stop watching live-action adaptations
No, fuck off you fagots. I'll watch what I want.

>>25628304
I started with Gaim myself, but frankly just pick whichever series interests you the most for whatever reason(s). /m/ has tokusatsu generals if you want more help

>>25430276
Like Father Like Son hits way harder for me.

>>25598054
I feel like the new generation of actresses Hashimoto, Hirose, Hamabe just can't hold a candle to the previous one with Nagasawa, Gakki, Kitagawa, Ayase, Toda, Horikita just to name a few. They're all cute, but none of them can act for shit and they're all so small and have no presence at all.

Can any anons reccomend me some good recent Japanese action movies?

Going through google I can only find Manga adapations.

>>25647942
>good recent Japanese action movies
No such thing. Japanese are only good at slow-paced slife-of-life dramas. You're better off watching Korean or HK movies you want action.

>>25647983
Well, that stinks. What about from the 80s-00s? Maybe a Yakuza film? I was told stuff with Beat is pretty ace.

>>25648005
Kitano movies are good, but they're not really famous for the action. You can find good crime movies and yakuza movies, but the action is just not very good. It's not what you'd watch a Japanese movie for anyway.

>>25648005
I don’t agree that all recent Japanese action movies are shit but they are a rarity nowadays.
> I was told stuff with Beat is pretty ace.
Absolutely, you can never go wrong with a Kitano kino. I also recommend Miike Takeshi and SABU for action/yakuza movies.

>>25648076
They can be decent, sure, but even the Japanese don't turn to Japanese movies for their action fix. They know what to expect. The best Japanese action movies I can think of are samurai movies.

>>25648005
Don’t watch Kitano if you’re looking for a hard boiled action-filled flick, you’ll get filtered.
Like the previous anon said, the Japanese don’t make that good of action movies, perhaps they’re not into that genre. Japanese movies tend to be more about emotion and the psychological state of the characters. They make great psychological thrillers, even in anime.
I also recommend Miike and Sabu like the other anon, their early movies are quite an experience.

>>25652335
I downloaded Dead or Alive 1 after that anon mentioned Takashi Miike. Gonna watch it tomorrow.

>>25652557
Nice. Just don't expect the second one to be more of the same. It has some action but it is more meditative and reflexive take on its characters.

>>25462495
this >>25464566 - you might not get what you're looking for but if you enjoyed LE you should get a similar amount of enjoyment from Why Don't You Play in Hell? Antiporno is good as well but it's a lot less openly wacky and more just insane character study

>>25578259
Kurosawa gets mistakenly typecast in the west as le Samurai guy but he had a really diverse career.
try stuff like Drunken Angel, High and Low, Dreams, The Bad Sleep Well, Dodeskaden, or I Live in Fear to get a broader understanding of the depth of his work and why he was so influential
Ran and Throne of Blood are still very much worth watching in the samurai period of his career though

>>25649362
I like how you can tell right away who's the main character. Kanna is too cute

>>25652362
It's better filmed, has a budget, the actors playing side characters are better actors, and the main leads are more interesting. But the cases are boring as fuck, there's star cameos just for the sake of it, and unlike midnight runner it takes itself very seriously. It also follows the usual formula
>crime occurs
>investigation with bits of comedy between the main leads
>sob backstory of the criminal or the victim
>social commentary
>more comedy
>Kenshi Yonezu starts singing
TLDR; it's okay but it's nothing special.

I have seen poor ratings but the Uzumaki movie is actually pretty good. I didn't like the final scene before the montage but otherwise it had good atmosphere. It really felt like it was supposed to. Are other Higuchinsky's movies worth watching?

>>25660307
The live-action version just doesn’t measure up with the manga. It shouldn’t influence me but the manga is just that good.

>>25675376

I saw one of his movies once with a silly scene at the beach. Forgot the name though.

>>25675444
He has many movies with scenes at the beach. I would have recommended you watching his works by release order, you’d appreciate his works more that way.

I just watched Ran and was really impressed with Miss Mieko Harada's performance.

>>25578259
They're interesting concepts and they can create more as a base for another story.

Now that I've mentioned it, I realized Ran embodied this cycle of creation and inspiration, with it taking inspiration from Shakespeare's King Lear.

One growing, evolving from another.

Just as modern RPGs are inspired by Dungeons and Dragons which are inspired by Tolkien's works which was inspired by folklore from generations upon generations of retelling and adding to the lore.

Aside from that, they're period pieces (a view of the relatively recent past) and celebrates native culture (viewing a past that might be lost and forgotten).

Any urban horror similar to games like Fatal Frame and Siren? I know those two have adaptations. FF is supposedly something different and I saw Siren and it was just okay. Not great but not bad. Anything similar? I think Uzumaki did good job.

The fucking female proper employee in hanzawa naoki S2 has psycho eyes and I fucking hate her. Also thanks to the kind anons that answered my questions about the hanzawa series I decided to watch season 1 and now I am hooked. Finance drama / economics is my drug.

I never watched the movies, only played the games, but Twilight Syndrome is one of my absolute favorite games of all time.

>>25748649
I mean, if they're translating プロパー as fucking "proper", it's pretty reasonable to assume they're just using TL notes or something.

Hell, maybe they aren't even bothering with that.

I just went through the SPEC shows and movies. I've never really been into these sorts of shows, but I loved them.
Anything else similar? I liked the serious tone while still being whacky and comedic when shit hit the fan. I also like when shit hit the fan, wasn't expecting such epic stuff to happen.

Did you watch the prequels first?

Can anyone explain to me what the HiGH&LOW franchise is? What's it's demographic, was it really that popular, and why it appears to have more of a budget than most of the Japanese live action stuff I've seen? From what little research my EOP ass is able to do it seems to be some huge promotion project for several boy bands and b-boy groups but that doesn't really explain everything.

>>25647942
Might as well help this guy out why I'm here. You have to have a pretty high tolerance for schlock if you're looking for Japanese action movies. I'd personally recommend Ajin: The Demi-Human (is an anime adaption, but is a fun action flick that really utilizes its dumb premise), The Rurouni Kenshin films (also an anime adaption, but has lots of stylish fight scenes), Re:Born (starring the most underappreciated action star of all time Tak Sakaguchi), Versus (dated but very entertaining). First Love (fun but Miike remains the worst action director of all time), and Kuro Obi (classic that's highly regarded among karate practitioners). If you want more I can try and rustle up some of the even lower budget and less than stellar stuff that I can't recall right now.

>>25764314
Yes of course

>>25764578
Dude, always up for more movie recs :)

>>25769214
Sure. Just keep in mind that these are coming from a guy who's more of a martial arts and action movie nerd than a film buff.
>Casshern
>Death Trance
>Bushido Man
>Gantz & Gantz: Perfect Answer
>Shinobi: Heart Under Blade
I haven't seen any of these in several years, so your mileage may vary. I remember having generally positive opinions of all of them though, if I keep going it's just going to turn into a list of Japanese action movies I've seen. I initially came into this thread asking about HiGH&LOW, and I can't decide if I'd recommend it or not. I had a love/hate relationship with it while watching it but now that I've finished it I kind of miss it. It's half stereotypical, sappy jdrama with a godawful soundtrack and half ultra stylistic action show with a huge budget. I suppose I'd recommend the first season at the very least.

I'll also throw out these out:
>Wicked Game - martial arts movie directed by Koichi Sakamoto, stars a couple of former Power Rangers
>Shadow Fury - really corny ninja movie starring a famous PRIDE fighter made in Hollywood by Japanese filmmakers
>Guyver 2: Dark Hero - action directed by Koichi Sakamoto
>Fighter in the Wind - Korean movie about the guy who created Kyokushin Karate

I didn't know they were that faithful to the manga. Pretty cool.

Can anyone recommend some good Comedy and Thriller movies?

>>25752339
Interesting. You make me want to try the game out.
Which specific version/platform are you talking about?

Am I the only one that found 来る to be pure kino?

Was seriously expecting something mediocre at best.

Could any very kind anon possibly hook me up with a copy of Still Life Of Memories? T'would be heartily appreciated!

For the anon that asked before, I did eventually get that Stardust Brothers bluray+album and do intend to rip the ost - I just need to wait until I'm back in the office post-pandemic, as my laptop doesn't do physical media.

>>25779759
I liked the first half, really intriguing, but I kind of lost interest at the exorcism stuff

>>25777825

fucking smug

This could have been spookier, but it was a decent high budget supernatural film.
>>25793911
next ep is gonna be about love triangles lol

For me it's Minami Hamabe.

You can see her showcasing her versatility as an actress in this video, masterfully executing facial expressions one scene after another.

If we're talking about bad actresses that are appearing in every fucking manga adaptation ever I'd take Kanna Hashimoto over her

I’d rather read the manga honestly, although that Hirate girl is an interesting actress, loved her in Hibiki so might give it a watch when I finish from the manga.

Why is japanese movies so shit compared to koreans?

>>25819234
Explain

>>25819234
>Why is japanese movies
Maybe because they’re just not for third world ESL subhumans who watch gook shit.

>>25819161
Yeah, that Hirata girl was great in her movie and Fable 1 was really entertaining. So I'm still eager to watch the sequel.

Give Biblia Koshodou No Jiken Techou a try. It's a decent weekly whodunit set in a used bookstore.

Is this the girl that killed herself?

>>25856761
Yes, She was in The Bachelor Japan

>>25856761
What a waste

not gonna lie, the show was getting a little scary till this

>>25862876
Shiraishi Sei show? I'm interested.

>>25858864
sad any kind a cute japanese girl dies

Bankers are awesome

>>25819099
I was going to say manga is like the storyboard for a movie, so no hate for manga adaptations, but then >>25819161 has a point, what if the actor couldn't depict the character accurately. What about manga -> anime adaptations, why is there almost no hate for it? I think manga to movie adaptations should be viewed as a stand alone product, viewed irrespective of the source material, ie. could you appreciate the story even without reading the manga.

>>25819099
>that guy

does this have anything to do with the 'myth' movie?

>>25901688

Anyone know where I can find subbed versions of the Sengoku Jidai Taiga dramas?

>>25919730
I don't think Taiga dramas get translated.

>>25938017

anyone here know if there exist uncut 6 hours long version of "love exposure" movie with subs ?

Anyone saw Brave Father Online?

Should I watch the drama or just skip straight to the movie?

>>25919730
AvistaZ and d-addicts have some.

>>25932036
They do.

>>25939323
It exists as a tv series with ten 30-minute episodes.

>>25939502
They;re basically the same story with different casts. You can watch both or just one. I'd recommend the drama though.

How does it compare to the movie? I sorta like Yoshida Koutaro

>>25947151
It's more fleshed out thanks to the greater run time

next episode when

thoughts on this movie and on his director? the message at the end is smack your wife. japan losing the war was a mistake. (i'm not a mysoginist by the way)

After watching Perfect Blue anime movie, oh man, I can't believe it was made in 1998. It's still relevant today and having been into kpop and jpop recently, the fantard shitbaggery depicted in the movie was just too real. It made me wonder if Japanese idols in the 90s do really experience things like these or if it's just an exaggeration for the sake of the story. Ah the 90s, wish I could turn back time, the internet really diversified and enriched world pop culture, so many new things to discover.

This show is nice, but some outdoor scenes looked like they were done using green screen. Probably because of the pandemic.

>>25956477
Fuck. I wonder how much the situation affected their original plans.

is there anywhere I can find S4 and S5 of Onsen E Ikou?

Anyone can recommend me something similar to Mahoro Ekimae Tada Benriken?

>>25987755
Have you seen the series follow up and the sequel film?
There's also Ikebukuro West Gate Park which is similar.

>>25990612
Seen all that but thanks anyway.

Matsumoto is about to lose all his Amazon money. He had a good run

>>25993208
what happened?

>>25993474
His pedo shit is popping up

>>25993208
>>25993521
Where are you reading this? I don’t see shit anywhere

>>25993767
https://twitter.com/brokenwordz/status/1300247868398137344
People are already talking about sending emails to Amazon in the replies. This is really only going to affect his dealings with western companies I think.

>Matsumoto
Untouchable

>>25994054
Not in the US

>>25993935
I don’t see anything coming out of this, last month some people were trying to cancel Matsumoto for some ultra-nationalistic remarks he made or something, I don’t remember exactly, even making the same threats like getting him dropped by Amazon, it was trending on Twitter too but nothing happened.

>>25994125
Amazon would only have to act if westerners got wind of this, and westerners don't even know who Matsumoto is. 1000 retweets isn't going to do anything. Nothing will come of this.

>>25994174
It's pretty easy to write of nationalistic remarks as "political opinions." Sex with grade schoolers, not so much

>>25994174
I remember this, I don’t think he said anything actually. It was about one ultranationalist female politician I believe who was recruited by Amazon to advertise something and the twitter users had a meltdown over it and they lumped Matsumoto up with it saying he’s a close friend of Abe and a supporter of the LDP etc. I even read some of them tweeting Amazon in English explaining all of this to them and asking them to cut their ties with Matsumoto and that woman.

>>25994229
I’m not sure if you’re new to the Japanese entertainment world but C- listers who did worse than whatever Matsumoto did recovered completely from their scandals, a showbiz tycoon like Matsumoto won’t be affected by this.

>>25994317
Like I said, I don't think this will affect him at all in Japan. I do think it's going to halt anything he's doing with western companies who have to deal with western consumer base

Any good Japanese movies on US Netflix?

Maruyama Karina got married

>>25458537
I watched it, It's not great but I think I was expecting something else. A group called "Rjgman56 Subs" translated it and posted the whole movie to their website

Where would I be able to watch Taiyou ni Hoero do you reckon?

>>26006626
Seems like there's a bunch of episode on PD - I'd guess that it's far from everything though.
Best bet if you wanna watch all of it would be buying the DVDs second-hand. But that would be around 500k-1m yen and you'd be missing 8 episodes that never got released on DVD.

>>25994828
>Romance Doll
>37 Seconds
>Hot Gimmick: Girl Meets Boy
>Little Miss Sumo
>The Forest of Love
>Tuna Girl
>Cultivating the Seas: History and Future of the Full-Cycle Cultured Kindai Tuna

Tfw your only hobby besides watching japanese depression kino is lifting and they all drink daily in the evening and they make it look so damn comfy.
