change Johnny & Associates to Smile-up and only deal with the settlement of the talents that were "wronged", closing down the agency part of the company which terminates the contracts with all the talent that were under the Johnny agency. the new agency will start accepting new talent as well as any of the talent that were terminated from the previous agency.

Watched Gozu to see what's with everyone's reactions over it and it's seriously one of the best movies I've stumbled upon. It ended without me even noticing with how much it was engrossing. Is there anything like it? The breastmilk scenes in particular revolted and impressed me at the same time.

Watch Visitor Q if you've not already done that.

>>44843488
>Is there anything like it?
Imprint by the same filmmaker Miike Takashi. It's not quite the same, and it takes place in the Meiji era, but it has similar vibes to Gozu.
>The breastmilk scenes in particular revolted and impressed me at the same time.
Ohhh, you're gonna love (or hate) Visitor Q. It's weirder and more insane than Gozu and Imprint, due to how realistic it is and its themes are compared to Gozu and Imprint with their fantastical elements. In my opinion, it's Miike's sickest work.

>>44843820

costumes were cool for the most part, i thought. like the ramen cartwheel at the beginning.

>>44863106
There's a reason why Sono gave it the title "BAD FILM", but it has its charms as a work by Sono in his second stage of his career (1990-1999) as a filmmaker. Definitely not for everyone, and for very good reasons, but some Sono fanatics would appreciate it. Personally, it's my favorite Sono work from that era, just pure and unfiltered Sono madness. It's actually a miracle it saw the light of day as it was left unfinished due to funding issues. It took him nearly 2 decades to go through over 150 hours worth of footage and re-edited them into this mad rampage of guerrilla filmmaking.

Kouiu no ga Ii

Just watched Himizu (2011), how do I go back to my life after such a masterpiece?

>>44900653
>how do I go back to my life after such a masterpiece?
I highly recommend reading the original manga by the genius Furuya Minoru. Sono's adaptation is very different, which, as a fan of the original work and its creator, is something I appreciate a lot. Only a great auteur like Sono would make a masterpiece like Himizu a different experience that is as impactful as the original. It reaches the level of apocalyptic bleakness and puts you through an array of emotions you never expected to go through.

Back when I was a kid in 99 I accidentally watched Kikujiro on HBO or something and it blew my fucking mind, man. This was before I even knew what Japan was.

I think I've been biased ever since but I still consider early Kitano to be the greatest Japanese director. Everything he made back then was, and is, perfect.

>>44909916

Accidental discoveries are good.

>>44910033
You think I'm going to turn it on every time I want to read a fucking article?

>>44910008
Fun fact, the title of the film is named after Kitano's father. The story was more grounded but not for lack of the good ol' Kitano themes. Apparently Kitano made Kikujiro because he was fed up of being pigeonholed as a violent filmmaker, so he transplanted his thug persona into a child's world and the result is one of his richest films. It's basically It‘s a reverse Kitano film, wherein he plays the emotional character for once.
>but I still consider early Kitano to be the greatest Japanese director
He's without a shadow of a doubt up there with such masterpieces like Sonatine, A Scene at the Sea, and Hanabi. Personally, Oshii Mamoru and Kitano Takeshi are the greatest to ever do it in Japan.

Haranishi is a more talented one of the duo, but Fujimon seems to have IT that others love to work with.

Matsumoto keeps bringing him back for Documental is one example.

>>44917409
I seriously doubt Haranishi can do youtube on his own. Fujimon is also an important gaya talent for several TV producer like Kaji for example.

>>44917409
Because he's good at rolling with the punches while being loud. Good formula for tv.
>>44917655
That's a good point, I wonder what's going to happen with their yt channel.

>>44917409
He's perfect for Documental because he's a mood maker and is so good at gaya.
Haranishi is much more quiet and introverted.

>>44916651

The pilot episode is really good. The first time the four leads meet is very funny.

I feel like this guy is extremely overrated, although haven't watched more than 2 of his movies so I can't say for sure

>>44914784
VIVANT, it's the best Japanese drama of this year.

>>44928650
Couldn't get into this, felt straight up mid. Even the オードリー bio drama was more interesting.

>>44928719
>Couldn't get into this, felt straight up mid.
What? That's a shame, it was a such a refreshing show departing from the boundless slop of original dramas out there.

Is there something like anichart, but for TV series?

>>44928650
How many episodes did you watch?

>>44929099
All of it?

>>44929099
Meant for >>44928719

>>44927350
his first two movies were top tier, he really hit the ground running. afterwards he made a few that - while not groundbreaking - were still very, very good. after that he just became very mediocre. the reverence for koreeda is a holdover from the days when it seemed like he'll establish himself as one of the all time greats of not just japanese - but cinema in general.

I couldn't find Kikujiro on nyaa

>>44937829
Just check on it once everyday at any time, they open regs infrequently.

>>44937852
I thought it was for dramas. For old and popular movies, use public trackers

>>44937856
>>44937871
i'll try to keep an eye out

You don't need avistaz for Kikujiro, you can find it on other torrent websites

Do you guys know what software I can use to download stuff from tver? Seems harder now for some reason.

>>44940556
I just use the youtube downloader something, just type 'tver downloader' on google and click the top result.

>>44924503
Watched for mio. The first episode is good so far. Same people that did silent drama.

I started watching Kocchi Muite yo Mukai-kun, two episodes so far and I have to stop every other scene from cringe, it hits too close to home. But still so far I'm enjoying it.

>>44948321
>Kocchi Muite yo Mukai-kun
Who is the target audience for this?

>>44948428
adapted from a manga published in a josei magazine, so women, I guess. Surprisingly it's coming to Netflix this week.

This can't be the final list, right?

Ah, of course. I won't be watching.

Rewatching that and Antonio Inoki's matches is what I've been doing since 2021's new year's eve.

Itazura Journey is as funny as Gakitsuka ever was

so i know this isnt new but i heard sino sono was accused of sexual harassment. does this mean hes taking a break from making new movies?

>>44957682
He wrote a new film and was gonna direct it but was forced to step down and his AD handled the directing. He also used a pseudonym for the screenplay credit due to the scandal but that was also leaked and faced some backlash. I don't know if he's ever gonna make a new film, it's looking grim.

>>44957837
is this the film?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQQnnJ_y76Y

>>44957964
Yeah, that's the one. Hope I can watch it someday.

>>44957682
Probably just waiting until everybody forgets about it. Seems like they already have.

Is he capable of being goofy like Ikuta?

People seemed to like him well enough in Aoi Honoo.

what is his problem?

Anyone know who will be doing the new Pokemon drama?

I'm guessing Fujimon took part in this setsu too which is why there were only 2 challengers.

>>44972684
Was about to post the same thing. He's still scheduled to appear on 2 other shows, I think they're his last.

>>44972782
The damage control message every single time he appears on a show makes me laugh.

>>44972942
BPO mandate, nobody actually cares what Fujimon did or didn't do.

>>44972942
Didn't they literally do a setsu once where Hamada was conspicuously cut out of every shot to make people think he'd done something? Funniest shit.

>>44968697
who the fuck

>>44973032
BPO are fueled by the loud minority on SNS, who don't even watch the shows.

are these good?

>>44974343
So far real good only Bon-UTA and Techno Brothers (if you are at that kind of humor)
I'm half way. The documentary about pagodas is a bit boring because it's TV documentary after all. Follow the Light (Pic from before) was good enough. Itsuki Nagasawa is pretty. Avoid Bachiranun and A Girl in My Room. Hanagatami was truly a letdown.

>>44974179
I'm very interested in Techno Brothers' filmmaker

Where can I watch Hazard 2005 by Sion Sono? I love his work I wanna watch this one next

>>44975783
Avistaz or search on google (I found it easily by googling).

how often does avistaz open?

>>44976509
Maybe 2-3 times a year

>>44976515
This information has me breaking down on my knees

>>44976546
Just check on it everyday, you never know when they open it, and when they do, it stays open for days.

speaking of avistaz does anyone know where i can find a higher quality version of Noriko's Dinner Table? avistaz only has 480p and a strange 576i resolution

>>44976718
I don't think it ever got a BD release.

>>44976754
ah shame

They deleted mega link that contain various variety shows. If anyone have back up link i would be very grateful.
