My disappointment was immeasurable when this ugly manlet faggot appeared on my tv screen.

Did taishi get bogged? he looks different in the new netflix show

>>44052311
Did he become Sato Fukushi?

>>44051266
But he's one of the very few idols that can act though??

>>44053536
That's pretty low bar, especially when you compare him to his incredible co-stars.

How many takes did she do for a 10-minute crying scene?

>>44054043
Only one take. They had someone in a kaiju suit somewhere in her peripheral vision when she did the scene.

Also subs are released for episode 1 by EcoTVSubs.

>>44053536
Don't care if he can or cannot act, having a Johnny's automatically cheapens the product. The bitch stuck out like a sore thumb with his geeky presence next to Yakusho.

>>44054043
How was it? I need an unbiased opinion.

>>44054601
It's the same as Masaki Suda's drama. It's very preachy and melodramatic. The story is about bullying yet again. And, it has this actress as one of the main antagonists. I liked watching her in Kyouso no Musume. So, I will continue watching because of her and Ashida Mana.

>>44056625
I wonder how TBS would view these numbers since their expectations were definitely very high. I guess it can't be helped when terrestrial TVs today don't draw much with TVer and Netflix around, but even with that in mind, I felt that the ratings for such a grand-scale production were a bit low. Was it because they didn't reveal the story beforehand?

>>44056625
Ouch. Hopefully the ratings pick up gradually starting next week just like Hanzawa Naoki S1.

>>44056625
It's the age of streaming. Silent was in single digits but was the talk of the town.

>>44033499
There seems to be a misunderstanding from MyDramaList.
It seems Saiko no Kyoshi is the main story and Saiko no Seito is the side story.

>>44056625
>Less than Last Man from last season (14.7%)
I thought it would get more than that but I guess not revealing what kinda story had the opposite effect

>>44056906
VIVANT was trending #1 globally on Twitter. Now that the story and Arashi's Ninomiya are revealed, the tv ratings and the number of viewers on streaming sites will likely increase.

She's so cute bros. Although I feel like her Japanese isn't great since she grew up overseas but I have no idea. Can anyone that speaks Japanese confirm or deny for me?

>>44064759
I've only seen her in that shitty live-action adaptation of Conan more than a decade ago, don't remember her Japanese sounding bad though, but that might have been my untrained ears back then.

>>44064759
Her Japanese sounds better than people from Tsugaru at least. Also, can't wait to see her in Kojima's next ludo Death Stranding 2.

>>44063373
It was who I thought it'd be. Watari was great, follow up looks funny as fuck.

can anyone find out the weird name of the wife in suiyoubi? i'm really curious

New preview of lil sis recruiting new members of the Order of Peace Through Superior Fisting.

I've only watched momikeshite fuyu and hananochi hare. I r8 momikeshite 7/10 for it's weak ending, but if it had a more satisfying ending I would have probably rated it 8/10. The family dynamics were fun, and there were surprisingly touching moments.
To me, hananochi was good for what it aimed to do, but I felt I wasn't the target audience. Decent 7/10, with some strong scenes here and there.
Can I get some recs based on that info? I have no clue what to watch next...

Conan is always the top 2 most watched weekly anime every week and that's been going for decades.
Its movies are always smash hits and they break some records every year. This year's movie was the first to gain more than 10 billion yen in the series history in the first month of its release.

Thoughts on First Summer Uika?

I think she's hilarious.

>>44083317
Good tarento.

>>44059675
>>44056625
I wouldn't put too much stock in these viewership ratings nowadays. We are in an age of streaming and sites such as TVer is really popular because of you can watch past broadcasts for a limited time for free

>>44083990
I remember reading some director of a late-night variety show saying TVer's views are more important than real-time views. She always shills TVer after the TV broadcast and urges fans on Twitter to watch it or re-watch it on TVer so that the show continues. But that's a no budget late-night variety show, in VIVANT's case, TBS were definitely thinking it would pull Hanzawa Naoki S2 numbers or somewhere around that given the ridiculous cast and them not revealing the story. And the huge budget means they want their investment back + profit, and that's from both terrestrial tv and streaming. Not hitting Hanzawa Naoki numbers could harm them. There's still a chance though, the drama just started and there's lots of talk on SNS about it, so the real-time viewership could see an increase starting next week.

Any thoughts on Gakuryu Ishii and his movies?

>>44085850
Genius. Hugely influential.

>>44086671
Would you please elaborate? Like, what of his movies are "must-watch" and why do you think so? Where should I start with him?

>>44086813
He's the father of cyberpunk. His classic biker movie CRAZY THUNDER ROAD (1980) came way before Terminator and laid the groundworks for an entire genre. It was a game changer. Its success opened the door for young indie filmmakers in Japan and it paved the way for the cyberpunk genre and inspired classics like AKIRA by Otomo Katsuhiro and Tetsuo by Tsukamoto Shinya. I always like to recommend starting from the filmmakers' earliest releases just to experience their growth and evolution, but if you're not interested in that, start with BURST CITY (1982), a piece of work that influenced many greats like Miike, Tsukamoto and Kurosawa. Moving from there, the following are his best
>Angel Dust (1994)
>August in the Water (1995)
>Electric Dragon 80.000 V (2001)
These also cover a range of genres, as Gakuryu has lots of shifting going on in his long career. That doesn't mean you shouldn't watch his other works, like I said I prefer to recommend watching a filmmaker's entire body of work starting from the earliest release, and I've left out many other brilliant works like Asia Strikes Back (1983), The Crazy Family (1984), Labyrinth of Dreams (1997), Isn't Anyone Alive? (2012), The Flower of Shanidar (2013) and Bitter Honey (2016).

>>44115437
It's on Netflix. English subs will get added after the whole show ends.

>>44115748
I don't care about how many normalfags are watching it. It's not a drama for the Gen Z faggots who are so ADHD-riddled, they got filtered by a handful of subtitled scenes or are too fixated on their little smartphones to read some subtitles instead of "watching" dramas using their ears. It's a drama for people who love dramas, everyone is praising the story, the acting and the production so the low ratings (I shouldn't be calling them low because 11% is great nowadays) aren't related to the quality of the drama but to the state of the modern audience.

Where can I watch VIVANT? Will it be on Netflix?

VIVANT 1st Episode all time high at 4 million viewership numbers on TVer, highest in TBS' Drama history
https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20230724-2734014/

>>44119848
TV ratings are a relic of a bygone era and this proves it.

>>44116363
VIVANT was still trending at #1 globally between 10pm and 11pm. Next week's episode has so much going on so the buzz will be bigger.
>>44119848
Its subscribers on TVer are also nearing a milly, the highest among this season's dramas. They're spending more than a billion yen producing this drama, they even cut the budget of other dramas to fund VIVANT, but TBS aren't concerned even if it fails on terrestrial tv due to many factors like their successful investments on the semiconductor business which enables them to be adventurous with their tv projects and the fact that it's a huge hit on TVer. There's also Netflix and Blu-Rays once the drama wraps up. Higher tv ratings are sweet but they're not the sole indicator anymore.

>>44116540
This movie was something I did not expect because the first few minutes of the movie tackled innocent tease of why the main character is a virgin. Then comes a gloomy past and deeper roots behind those light laughs and blooming university life.

I've been trying to tell you guys for a year that TV viewership doesn't matter and you guys kept ignoring me or telling me I was wrong. I want an apology.

>>44120804
TV ratings still matter because that's where sponsors air their CMs (TVer runs CMs, too), but TV isn't the only platform anymore. Video Research, the organization that calcs these ratings you see announced a few days ago that starting 2025, they will include TVer, Netflix and YouTube to their ratings calcs.
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/0d7ab128e21152bd003907457b5302d0f895d288

>>44120899
Why do they have to wait that long until 2025 to include TVer, Netflix etc ratings? I don't get it

You don't get beautiful shots like these in normal Japanese dramas

>>44121029

>>44107954
>. I think Nogi might actually be a member, his past kinda indicates that.
But how? Everything so far indicates that he doesn't know about them, unless he's lying which wouldn't make sense as he's the hero of the drama.

>>44121210
>But how?
Not that anon but it's shown Nogi has split personality and I think it is something related to his "other personality".

>>44121210
In ep1, in the scene where Nogi was still in Japan and tried to call Ali but couldn't reach him, his phone was shown to have an app called VIVAN on it. He also seemed to be lying when he said he doesn't know VIVANT in his conversation with Nozaki. Also when he grabbed Ali's arm and dropped his phone, he seemed to be doing it purposefully to switch Ali's phone.
And regarding the split personality theory, when that terrorist called him VIVANT, he could have meant 2番 (Ni-Ban), which means "Second", as in second personality

>>44120804
TV viewership is all that matters. Catch up and streaming platforms make no money, and everyone is just going with the flow because if everyone else is doing it then it must be profitable eventually.

There's a new Hamaguchi in Venice (as well as Tsukamoto's Hokage), but did anyone know Hamaguchi was making a new movie this year? It caught me completely off guard.

>>44122761
Can't wait for Tsukamoto's new work. Hopefully it wins in the competition. And it's kinda funny that Tsukamoto and Moriyama just worked together in Anno's Shin Kamen Rider earlier this year and now they're already back together.
>but did anyone know Hamaguchi was making a new movie this year?
I remember reading rumors about it as early as January but nothing about what kinda movie it's gonna be.

>>44121970
> Catch up and streaming platforms make no money
That's wrong, bro. TV is important, that's true, but it's the 2020s, the core demographic isn't glued to their TVs anymore, many don't even own a TV these days. TVer and Netflix both run commercials, and the amount of subscribers and views have an impact. TBS aren't shitting themselves over VIVANT not drawing Hanzawa Naoki numbers because the drama already proved that it's a hit with the core demo via TVer. Like this guy here said >>44120899, they're gonna include other plats' to the calculation in the future. They will be as important as TV eventually and you'll be seeing sponsors aim at them heavily just like TV.

>>44122967
I watched Shin this last weekend and Moriyama made a huge impression on me, he had an incredible presence and I loved how he involved the dance-like movement in his performance. Can't wait to see him in Hokage. Considering Ikematsu was the lead in Killing, Tsukamoto should also cast Emoto in his next film, to complete the collection.

>>44121509
Wait did he switch the phone? I didn't know what was up with that but they made a big deal out of it.
Also kek at him straight up having VIVAN on his phone.

>>44123051
You're a retard. TV companies are chasing after streaming viewers, but they're not profitable. They never have been, and it's honestly questionable to think they ever will be, server costs are stagnating.

The streaming model is falling apart, and more and more companies are seeing the strain on their finances as they keep shoveling money into the pit in the hopes of being the last ones standing. The whole business model doesn't work, it's all one big second dot com bubble.

>>44123269
Streaming is great, but it's another thing that has been totally ruined by big brand competition. Rather than having one source to watch everything, you have to subscribe to a handful of streaming services. It cheapens films and TV shows.

>>44124145
Streaming is great for the consumer, because a bunch of big companies are burning money to make their services look attractive. It's terrible for content creation because it's incompatible with all the old business models, see al the writers and actors crying about residuals.

All this talk about streaming services got me wondering: are modern American series popular at all in Japan? I know that Twin Peaks was a really big deal back then. But what about shows that came out in the period 2000–2020? I remember seeing some discussions of Breaking Bad on 5ch. And maybe Game of Thrones. Except for these two, not so much.

Saikou no Kyoshi and all dramas in this genre are so preachy. How do people stand watching these types of shows?

1st place getting a lot of flak means people are looking for a nice primetime romcom / romance drama this season.

Would adding Filipino actors enhance a drama for you?

Kabuki actor Ichikawa Ennosuke IV (real name: Takahiko Kinoshi) was indicted on Friday for allegedly assisting in his parents' double suicide on May 17-18. Prosecutors believe it was part of a family suicide pact.
On May 17, Ennosuke allegedly gave his parents excessive sleeping drugs, which led to their deaths, before collapsing himself. Ennosuke's manager found their bodies at their home in Tokyo around 10:15 a.m. on May 18. Although Ennosuke's parents had already passed, Ennosuke was found "conscious but in a hazy condition," and taken to the hospital. According to investigative sources, Ennosuke had also attempted to commit suicide.

On the day of the incident, a weekly magazine had published a report about Ennosuke's alleged involvement in bullying and sexual abuse, some involving actors and theater staff. According to The Mainichi, Ennosuke told an investigative source, "A weekly magazine report prompted us to hold a family meeting, and we decided to say goodbye."

Ennosuke was arrested on June 27 on suspicion of assisting in his mother's death. He was served another arrest warrant on July 18 on suspicion of assisting in his father's death as well. His father was also a kabuki actor under the name Ichikawa Danshiro.

No one noticed that Nogi started calling his imaginary self with "F"? Also his headache thingie has intensified this episode, must be related to "F" and is leading to something. Another thing, when he went to the shrine and glanced meaningfully at something there, I think he hid something in that tree but that was before them infiltrating the data room so I'm curious what that was. Nogi is still looking suspicious. Just like in Balca, he acted like a goof but stole data from Ali's phone like a pro.
>>44179745
This episode in particular felt like both an episode from Hanzawa Naoki and scenes from Mission: Impossible. Hamada as a nerd hacker is perfect.

>>44182306
Why dont you actually watch the show?

>>44173330
He was released on bail

>>44183491
Won't he just try to kill himself again ?

>>44184090
cute girl

Holey chute!

Saiko No Kyoshi is still ranking #1 on Hulu surpassing even Conan the Barbarian even after 3 days of showing.

This is good, next episode 4 is Boss Hiisama featuring lil sis recruiting new members of Society of Saferiest Space.

This is a face of a guy who killed his parents

>>44183876
It's ridiculous to release a guy on suicide watch but this is assuming he really attempted suicide. I read last month that the government were trying to do damage control and save face for the kabuki world, given it's a Japanese traditional art and many Diet members have relations with that world. They might have done something behind the scenes to bail him out.

I just realized now, Masami Nagasawa looks a lot like my teacher from long ago. 9/10 hottie.

>>44184361
might be a good thriller drama

>>44190974
What the fuck is this? Why are there foreigners?

>>44190974
Nice. Can't wait for these spoiled Millennial cunts to spread their woke nonsense in Japan.

>>44191049
This only works in "trendy" holes like Shibuya and Harajuku. This shit won't fly with the rest of Japan.

>>44191074
It's always the same type of foreigner over there. The offended, safe space, trust fund, muscle-free geek who, despite claiming to love Japan, tries to change it into the country he comes from.

>>44190576
The manga is really good. By the same mangaka who made Boku Dake ga Inai Machi.

>>44183211
I would if there's English fucking subs.

>>44191020
>>44191049

The bit is just checking on the English capabilities of random Japanese people. Not sure what you are both reacting to so weirdly.

>>44192344
Can you stop being EOP?

>>44192433
And the people checking are cunts.

>>44192306
I will check it out then when it premieres.

>>44194910
Again, what is so triggering about what was said there? It’s really innocuous, even boring.

>>44195725
Not what's said, man. It's the people asking the questions that are the problem. See - >>44191090

I was in Japan and didn't realize that the second season had come out for 明日、私は誰かのカノジョ. I think people might dismiss the characters' behaviors as irrational, and they are, but I dealt with a lot of these types of girls while I was there, and the show is pretty accurate in portraying their behaviors, and even some of the stuff about customers was relatable on my end.

>>44196791
So you're one of those weirdo nanpa creeps who hang at Shibuya or Shinjuku?

>>44196876
Not nampa but picking up 立ちんぼ for sex. Not really a scene for it in Shibuya, but it's most prevalent in Kabukicho (Shinjuku), and there are some good spots in Osaka as well.

>>44196791
she cute

>>44196932
Lots of girls that look like her available for cheap and willing to do some reckless things.

>>44190974
>Japanese girl
>Her favorite soccer team is Nigeria

>>44196918
And to think the sexpats are all contained in /trv/ We have to deal with one here.

Looking for horror movie recommendations.
I've already seen a bunch of the older and classic ones but I haven't kept up at all with recent releases. I'd be grateful with anything.

>>44198075
Modern j-horror sucks balls, don't bother.

>>44198075

>New Religion (2022)
>Bldg. N (2022)

>>44198075
Source on the picture? Been trying to find it for a while and image search does nothing.

>>44201702
I'll see about that. Right now I'm interested in Tag (2015).
>>44201784
Sorry no idea, I just got it from Google image from a thread that was asking the same question: https://redd dot it/952o9n

I was reading a few articles that said that Swallowtail Butterfly had the same impact on Japanese cinema as Pulp Fiction did on American cinema. But I can't find any sources describing the specific influences it had on later films. Anyone knowledgeable about this? I know the soundtrack was pretty huge but that's about it.

>>44201798
>Tag (2015).
That's not recent, though. I'd have recommended it and other films from that period of time if you didn't say recent.

>>44201857
Yeah I mean the past decade or so, I should've clarified. I appreciate your suggestions.

>>44198075
Imprint (2006), Lesson of the Evil (2012), Over Your Dead Body (2014) by Miike Takashi
Strange Circus (2005), Exte (2007), Tag (2015) by Sono Sion

>>44187157
Episode 3 was good.

>>44203678
LOL

I haven't able to watch all of 27時間テレビ yet they already took it down. Damn.

>the fable is getting a drama adaption

Not Okada Junichi I suppose? tfw it will be better than the anime adaption.

What are those "lines" Nagano Mei has on her cheeks under her eyes?

>>44194570
I love the manga, very hilarious story. Matsuda as Numakura sounds about right but kinda wrong, too. Will be interesting to see how he's gonna handle the nuisance of this character.

>>44205439
I really hope that the film cast is brought back for it. I fucking love them.

>>44206752
I don't know, but they're hot.

>>44205439
Can’t find the news, happen to have a link?

>>44216068
WEBM looks good

Thoughts on Zom 100?

Which one between Netflix and Prime is better for Jdrama and movie?

>>44216068
that's kamen rider cross-z from kamen rider build

>>44220783
Netflix.

>>44215840
What a pointless article.

>>44221292
Thanks. I am unable to open Netflix anymore after they banned account sharing.
Kind of want to switch to Prime since it's still cheaper in my country but the selection for Jdrama and movies seems dire.

>>44221296
Thought she got caught with her boyfriend or something like that since it's Friday article.
Turns out it was just nothingburger, lol.

>>44217722
>>44219919
The movie is entertaining. The third act is like a Kamen Rider episode or something like that.

>watched shin kamen rider
>developed huge crush on her
>had to stop myself mid scrolling her instagram page
I'm too old to be having crush and dreams about japanese celebs goddamnit

I really need to find a japanese gf asap so I can watch these movies with an ease mind

>A new show about Hiroyuki Nishimura, a businessman who travels to Africa, will start at 21:00 on August 12th on ABEMA (distributed every Saturday and Sunday, 9 episodes in total).
>The program follows the challenge of telling Hiroyuki, "Please cross Africa and come back," leaving him in the middle of the Namib Desert in Namibia, and whether he can reach the goal safely with only 100,000 yen and a land route.
>What will happen if Hiroyuki, who continues to leave a strong impact in the world of media and is said to be the most logical man in Japan, is thrown into a harsh world where logic does not work for only 100,000 yen?
>Transportation is limited to basic land routes such as local buses and hitchhiking. Along the way, Hiroyuki tried hitchhiking for the first time in his life, was surrounded by locals, was yelled at, sweated profusely, climbed trees, got drenched, and was accidentally thrown into the darkness of Africa. ……. Through the journey, we will think about "Why do people travel?"
>Actor Masahiro Higashide and artist ToshI were also scheduled to participate as partners on a journey to think about life with Hiroyuki, but everything took an unexpected turn before the land of Africa. Will Hiroyuki be able to reach the goal safely?

https://twitter.com/hirox246/status/1687807036233338880

>>44236664
I would watch a show about Hiroyuki slowly dying.

>>44236664
Should have added a comedian as a companion

>>44236664
We all know why Japanese really go to Africa.

>>44236664
How many african /int/ posters he met.

>>44236664
Hiroyuki should fix 4chan before doing this bullshit.

>>44236664
>ABEMA
So, there's no way we can watch this, right?

>>44236785
If it's not available on nyaa immediately, you request it from the tv show uploaders there.

>>44236664
Why is the world suddenly so obsessed with blacks? It's apparently the only race in existence. Never Hispanics, Hawaiians, Maoris, Native Americans, Middle-Easterners or anything else. It's literally ALWAYS blacks. Every advert, show, film, game and so on always have a black person front and center nowadays.

I'm so utterly fucking exhausted and bored with them.

>>44236901
They hit the motherlode when it came to misery PR and are now champs at the suffering olympics.

>>44236926
But they suffer because of themselves. The reason that black people are at the bottom is because black culture is deeply fucked.
There isn't a single black utopia on the planet. Every black country and city is a crime-ridden, murderous, rapey shithole.
You see shit like World Star and the Knockout Game and they don't seem to understand that this shit isn't acceptable and is the reason why people avoid them.

>>44236999
At the risk of going /pol/ let's just say their self-inflicted wounds make for great media explotiation by the big nosed media moguls.

>>44237039
I don't mean to go /pol/, but I'm just so fucking burned out with them. Just once I'd like to see another race take center stage instead.

>>44236832
I didn't even know non-anime/dramas ABEMA shows are uploaded there

>>44237049
I'd personally want to see Pinoys as the new subhuman monkeys to be paraded around especially since they're within close proximity to Japan, but they're too subservient to make a spectacle over.

>>44236999
Is there any black majority area that ISN'T this? Not trolling or anything, just want to know.

>>44237080
>>44236999
Rwanda's the closest you'll get. I'm sure Hiroshimoot will have an episode dedicated to shilling it.

>>44237095
Isn't it a hellscape as well?

>>44237102
It's touted as the "Singapore of Africa." Make of that what you will.

Why do blacks have such a huge chip on their shoulders? Cunts, you were sold into slavery by other black people. You were freed by a White Right-winger. You're behind because you're fucking stupid people.

Lot of seethe in this thread. I like it. Black people existing can still trigger people like this in 2023. That rocks.

>>44237294
Not triggered, but blacks are coddled for too long that much is true.

nigeria is nice
neymar is from nigeria

>>44236901
Because watching Hiroyuki cross Hawaii doesn't exactly make for the most compelling tv.

>>44238949
I don't think Neymar is from Nigeria, I think Neymar is from Brazil.

>>44111269
based

>>44121232
>>44121509
Holy fuck, you were both right

>>44242504
I feel like this was pretty obvious but now it's been revealed I hope the show goes off the rails with Nogi having a million IQ.

>>44050019

cute! good episode, was much better than episode 2

For me, it will always be Ashida Mana.

>>44246967
I really liked the confession scene at the end.

There's so many reveals and swerves happening in a single episode that I wish it was 25 minutes long just so we can digest every new detail and enjoy speculating, it's way too fast-paced.
>>44242504
The dual personality isn't a surprise. Nogi being a 別班 was also hinted at on episode 2 when they were in the cave, but. It should have been obvious to us since episode 1 tbqh, I mean, what kinda normal company employee have a friend in the CIA?
>>44243040
Most of the reveals were predictable so far aside from Nagano being just a drughead. Although, they tried making him look unrelated, that look he gave after Nozaki left the room could have been meaningful. Other mysterious things from this episode like Drum's face when he hugged Nogi in the plane, that pic of Jamiin and her parents smiling in a Tent's training camp and that small shrine Nogi keeps staring at in Kanda Myojin. I'm sure more mysteries will be brought up or brought back but I'm gonna enjoy speculating about these until next week.
