Some reports say that the guy who attacked him has begged Takeshi to take him under his wings because he wants to work in the showbiz, some reports say the guy is a yakuza member. Many other articles are linking the latter to old rumors and old incidents that happened to Takeshi in the past. Some articles I read were linking this incident to the other rumors we've been hearing about Takeshi since him moving away from Office Kitano, to him marrying his current wife and Takeshi Gundan, his longtime staff and his manager leaving him.

I think he's essentially ruined for life at this point, so I don't care if he's making a bit more money. All he can spend it on is prostitutes, the vaguely attractive women he wants to court wouldn't be seen dead with him at his current pay grade. He'd need to be a millionaire to make up for his insanely creepy behaviour.

He apologized in a press conference, took a break from his activities for a few months and then resumed normally. Actors are unlike actresses, they don't get as much shit as actresses when they have affairs because female fans will still like them for their good-looking faces, they'll overlook infidelity. Actresses who have affairs on the other hand will lose male fans and become the enemy of females (women, y'know) so it's harder for them to make a comeback. It's even extra harder for young actresses who fucked up this early in their careers.

Sorry for such a spoonfeed-y question. But can anyone recommend some 'classics'.
Like on the level of how star wars (OG 3), pulp fiction, blade runner, forrest gump etc movies are considered in western media.
In the OP pastebin recommendations there are a few i will try, but it was a lot of comedy/romance/drama in that list. So would love maybe some more adventure/action/thriller type suggestions (or sci-fi).

Yeah I've listened to it too and he's completely right. Miyazaki Hayao is an extremely overrated hack, his best work was Future Boy Conan, the rest were average to fine. My favorite director (Oshii Mamoru) also shares the same opinion.

It's created by one of my favorite VN/videogames creators Urobuchi Gen so obviously I loved the concept and the story. What made it even better though was the decision of making it a puppet show instead of an anime. It's pretty weird and atmospheric, I felt semi-hypnotized while watching it. It was really absorbing.

He never contributed to that anime to begin with, he only made the Madoka series and its movies.
I want him to come back and make VNs and videogames but at this point, anything would suffice. Since the 2nd movie of TF in 2019, he didn't work on anything major at all, just small contributions here and there and working on small projects like the web anime OBSOLETE.

Because she was gori-oshi pushed very hard when she was a kid. If I'm not mistaken, I remember her ranking #1 on the most hated celebs ranking 10 years ago. I guess people hated how she was everywhere and the way she acted and carried herself on variety shows.
This was in the past though, I haven't seen her on the most hated celebs rankings in a long time. However, I'm sure she still gets hate, I remember reading a 5ch thread about hated celebs last year and she got her share of antis.

Does someone here know if the movies that are streaming on amazon.jp are guaranteed to have japanese subtitles? And if not, can someone recommend me a streaming site that does provide japanese subtitles or even better a rescource to find japanese subtitles on their own?

[Anonymous No.]

>>36591163
Prime has no real subtitle options in Japanese, it's a waste of time. Netflix offers subtitling on 99.99% of its content, I think I encountered 1 movie that didn't have subtitles in Japanese.

I haven't tried the other options because "lol you need JP bank account buddy", but given how terrible things like Tver are, I doubt that Hulu and some of the Japanese streaming options are any better. More recently I've found a temporarily free IPTV called YoiTV which offers subtitling on just the AT-X channel, which is nice.

Japanese subtitle availability in general is atrocious, it's only improved slightly in recent years thanks to Netflix, who actually have the ability to negotiate for subtitle files shows had when they were airing and never since. For example, Eureka Seven. This show came out like 15 years ago, had subs while it was airing, and those subs weren't ever ripped. When the series came out on DVD, and on BD, they never bothered including the subtitles. Why? Who fucking knows why, the Japanese despise deaf people or something. Netflix buying the rights to the show is the only reason they're available these days.

Cause the plot is not about criminal case, but hotel which is put on golden pedestal and also customer is always king
Might work better as a serial dorama, but not as a movie

What kind of live action genres does Japanese TV have outside children's superhero shows? Is it all soap operas, news, anime made into dramas, talk shows, and game shows? Do they have sitcoms, fantasy, sci fi, reality TV(like Cops, not like Big Brother), or what? Is there something in Japan like Star Trek that has a big world and multiple series and lore, though not necessarily sci-fi?

[Anonymous No.]

>Do they have sitcoms
Unidentified Fantastic Idol
Tamiou
Manga Mitai ni Ikanai
Peep Time
>fantasy
Japan rarely produces fantasy dramas, especially fantasy dramas that aren't based on manga and anime. The only one I can name is Akumuchan but don't expect high budget epics like western fantasy dramas
>sci fi
While they're more common than fantasy dramas, they are mostly based on manga (at least the ones I know about). Maybe Bokura no Yuuki would tickles your fancy?
>reality TV(like Cops, not like Big Brother)
Don't think such shows exist in Japan. They do have reality shows but not ones that deal with cops.
> Is there something in Japan like Star Trek that has a big world and multiple series and lore
They do but they're superheroes shows (tokusatsu).

Gosh, Legal High was so shit. I was expecting something at least half as good as Hanzawa Naoki given it's the same main actor, but I was really disappointed. And that "99.9%" legal themed series with the same Angie as Owada from HanF8Gzawa Naoki is even worse.

I didn't mean about cops in particular, just real as in about real people doing things as opposed to reality game shows.

>don't expect high budget epics like western fantasy dramas
My expectations were merely something like the old Herculues or Xena or Highlander or Buffy or Charmed series. Not very high, and probably about onmyouji or martial artists or something. I was going to use Supernatural as an example but forgot to write it.

By sci-fi, I meant futuristic and/or about space. I would probably watch anime over live action for that anyway though. Actually I'm probably not watching anything not-anime but I was curious as to if Japan has a variety of live action programming or if it's just dominated by a handful of things.

Jidaigeki does all what you mentioned. If you want "Western" style though, you're pretty SOL. I mean, do you expect the US to make Samurai Westerns outside of a meme movie?

It centers around sentai and kaiji. Very little Star Trek or Stargate. Not exactly sure why. Maybe they just don't have the logistics or artistic talent to pull that off.

If you're looking for series/franchises with deep lore and continuity, tv dramas are the last thing you'd look into. I can name such series/franchises but they're not tv dramas. If you want something akin to Star Trek when it comes to heavy lore, look up the many tokusatsu franchises Japan has.

Well yeah, the question was 'what do they watch besides dramas?'(and kid shows, game shows, and talk shows/news).

>>36602351
I don't know what you mean by "western style" since you seem to use it in the same sentence to mean both western as in occidental and western as in American wild west. All I can say to that is US did make a lot of martial arts movies and oriental themed movies.

As for me, I was just saying I don't have any expectations of it not being cheap crud. Just wondering if there's some guy that goes around and cuts up youkai without having to transform into a bug or dinosaur themed outfit first. They've surely made series or movies about various legends that aren't just generic white clad ghosts.

>It centers around sentai and kaiji.
Kaijuu? Or something else?

>That's variety territory.
I don't know what you mean by this either. But to give more examples, shows about people building houses or making cakes or some other semi-mundane thing. "Variety" makes me think of variety shows, which are just a bunch of comedic skits.

The American and European mainstream's coverage of Asia has always been dominated by China's due to those regions significant Chinese immigrant population so obviously what comes to mind are Xiaolin crap. Ninjas are arguably the most recognizable Japanese premise, but played second fiddle to the Kung Fu. What I meant was like dramas that are set in Medieval Europe using Arthurian Legends as a base and things like that. For the reasons I already stated last post, there's not much interest locally.

>Kaijuu? Or something else?
Yes, that.

Varieties have documentary-style segments where the interviewer would visit the site and the people of the subject topic while commentator windows show their reactions on the upper corners of the screen.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but...

I need help to search for a series I saw a small fragment on a convention a lot of years ago, that I remembered recently, and is now killing my head. From the fragment, the show was apparently about a game, and 2 characters were playing Russian roulette, it was some kind of glasses guy against a fat one, and seems like they were trying to trick the other to lose, glasses won(I think), and backstage he spoke with a girl, to whom explained he used the graphite of a pencil they received on another test to mark a part of the gun and trick the other on thinking that was gunpowder, and think he knew where the bullets were. The scene(And I'm not sure if the chapter) ended with the girl giving an inner monologue thinking than with glasses they had ensured the victory, but then realizing something that could made them lose. That's all I remember, not sure if it was Japanese or Korean DESU.

It's not weird if you knew his history with North Korea. His mentor is Rikidozan who was a North Korean. In 1995 his match with Ric Flair in North Korea drew the biggest crowd in professional wrestling history. He used to visit North Korea every year until 2019 to do wrestling shows and promote sports there. He even opened a sports NPO there in 2014. I remember when he made the Abe administration seethe so hard for his repeated trips to North Korea when he was a lawmaker in 2013, they even banned him from attending the diet for 30 days because of it. Despite that, he kept going there even during the time where North Korea were repeatedly sending their ballistics towards Japan's EEZ in 2017 which made the Abe administration go apeshit over it. Inoki is prolly the only Japanese person in history North Korea doesn't hate.
