been trying to watch the newest netflix slop because I love kasumi arimura, but it's just too multicultural for me. I wasn't a big fan of the premise of the story but then I started watching and so far I couldn't finish the first episode. Maybe I'll try again sometime later.
>>48248948I'd take anything that isn't cliche tv slop, even if it's bad.
Curious, has there ever being an Amazon Prime Drama that doesn't get a global release?
>>48249456No, they're all available globally. The only one who does that shit is Hulu.
>>48249843>The only one who does that shit is Hulu.Hulu Japan is a completely separate entity from the american one, the only share the name.
>>48249456maybe the early ones like Ocha Nigosu
>>48249843>tfw thinking about all the original Hulu and Abema dramas and variety shows I'll never be able to watch
>>48248948You're making me regret downloading it now (haven't started it yet)
>>48247193YouTube is recommending me short clips of old Downtown shows lately, been watching them on my phone every night before going to sleep, and let me say one thing, Daigo is a funny guy, but watching those old Matsumoto short clips, Daigo is nowhere near as funny as him. Matsumoto is an owarai genius, no one can replace him.

>>48252081Cringe.
>>48256250>They started dating after they co-starred in "1122" this yearLet's hope their marriage life won't be cuckshit like "1122"'s story.
>>48256250He could have done better.
>>48256250>First Gakkii and Hoshino>Now these twoWhat is it about quirky dramas about marriage that make the leads end up getting married irl?
is there anywhere I can get raws of shows recently aired?
>>48259454nyaa
>>48259478the show I'm looking for is not there
>>48259489What's the show?
>>48259493rn I'm looking for Sora wataru kyoshitsu, but I run into this problem often. I just want an open access site that has rips of shows currently airing
>>48259502There used to be a number of such websites but they're all dead now. The next best thing is to make your own rips by downloading from TVer, but NHK dramas like the one you mentioned are not on TVer. And you'll have to download them the week they air because episodes get removed after a new episode airs.
>>48259548it used to be easier to find raws I wonder what happened
>>48259502https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=4_0&q=sora+wataru+kyoushitsu

>>48244581Based. This drama was fantastic.

>>48264811To you maybe. You have no idea about the daily flame wars on SNS between STARTO wotas and Number_i wotas. This news escalated the animosity further.
they'll just do their own year end special
>>48264462No more Korean.
>>48241618>The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House by Koreeda Hirokazu (Netflix)Thank you for bringing this drama to my attention. One of the comfiest shows I've ever watched.>>48242606>is this good for real?It's really good. A heartwarming story about beautiful ladies from all ages, speaking in a cute dialect, working hard in the traditional maiko business, and shots of delicious dishes here and there.
They're adding old dramas to Netflix.
This was the funniest 電気イスゲーム yet.
>>48269553Gekidan Hitori is a fucking genius, he was in a different league playing a completely different ballgame.
>>48269661Yeah, terrible matchup for him. 5D hyper chess just doesn't work when you're playing against the guy who will just sit on the highest number every round and hope for the best.
>>48269553Watching Gekidan Hitori getting outplayed round in and round out was a delight.
>>48268975I second this anon. Genuinely one of the greatest netflix show I watched
>>48269495It's because Fuji TV made a deal with Netflix earlier this year. Expect more Fuji TV classics added in the upcoming months.
>>48268975I didn't understand the character of Matsuoka Mayu in that show
>>48269876Okano had no reason to humor him here, but it made it funnier.
>>48268975Glad you liked it. "The Makanai" felt like Koreeda was mixing "Still Walking" and "Our Little Sister", cinematography, not just story-wise. Just the perfect rhythm of the humanity-family he's known for. I felt sad after the final episode because every single character is loveable, even Mitani Koki who was playing as himself in that cameo was adoring. Just a lovely series with the kind of delicate, thoughtful virtues too little seen these days.
>>48272689And speaking of Koreeda, his new Netflix drama 'Asura' will be released in January.https://about.netflix.com/en/news/asura-streams-january-9

https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/269101d59b55ff9b63753584fea144a52f01ab59The new episode of Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende featured the cast visiting restaurants with "Macchan" in their name. This was interpreted to be in support of Matsumoto. Consequently, the broadcast was completely lacking of the usual sponsorships (like pic related) that are displayed after the opening.SmartFLASH asked 14 different companies that are sponsoring other Downtown shows what they would do if Matsumoto were to return. 6 of them didn't respond, 5 of them said "no comment," and the remaining 3 said they expect certain standards from the programs they sponsor.
>>48283056>completely lacking of the usual sponsorships They can't do that forever if they decided to have him back. Well, they're probably just testing the public's reactions anyway.
>>48283360>completely lacking of the usual sponsorshipsThis was just a lie anyway.

Fuji TV will do another Run for Money SP for the New Year's Eve this yearhttps://www.fujitv.co.jp/fujitv/news/20241463.html
>>48285594Stopped watching year end specials last year after the year prior to it. All the shows are shit, and this show in particular tops the shitlist.
>>48285563
>>48285594Jap youtubers have done this better for years now.
>>48285615Kek.Is this the only difference?
>>48285594What's the appeal of this show? It's yarase to your face. I'm not able to suspend my disbelief watching it.
>>48288309It's for kids. But then so is island survival shit, and at least that is occasionally entertaining.
>>48288923>Reiwa RomanI didn't know that they allow past winners to participate, so they could be the first to win twice? Shame Long Coat Daddy didn't make it but I'll be rooting for Shinkuu Jessica. Also happy for Dansei Blanco and Tom Brown.
>>48289977I'm pretty sure Football Hour came close to winning it a second time before. I can't imagine it's good for the organisers/industry as a whole to have the same guys win again though to be honest. And yeah it's a shame about Long Coat Daddy.There was a lot of buzz about ラパルフェ's quarter final neta. They didn't make it, but apparently they did the whole thing as New York. Should be able to watch it in a couple of days when the wild card thing starts where one combi gets voted back into the semi final.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoIsp_0Qt_c
>>48288923I know they're better as a konto konbi, but sad to see Long Coat Daddy eliminated in their final M-1 year. And with many popular konbis losing in the quarterfinals, it's impressive how Oswald are still making it to the finals every year. Not expecting them to win, though. My prediction this year is either Yarlens or Shinkuu Jessica. >十九人Would have never thought they'd make it this far.
>>48290674>Would have never thought they'd make it this far.They need a token act with a female in it.
The City Hunter remake on Netflix was good.
>>48290812Out of all the live action City Hunter adaptations I have watched, this is both the most well made but also most controlled. It still has great action and the humor is okay, but it makes Ryo less of an obsessive well trained perv and more of a well meaning asshole who happens to be well trained. I would have liked to have seen this more outlandish and more insane because as it stands, it is a decent action movie that doesn't break any new ground.
>>48290812Your standards are so low, being adequate is not good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay6V9YZB_84
>>48298888Rural horror is always good
>>48298888Hope someone subs this
>>48290812The thing about movies based on iconic anime like this one is that the cast can never replicate the charms of the characters. This one in particular is based on an iconic anime, and it suffered bigly from that.

interesting show since i've lived in japan during that era.
Since NHK was bothered to do overseas audition and cast someone from a popular-ish foreign series, I hope they would stream Bakebake internationally too.

>>48321170I know, I just find ironic that they ignore a recent big drama because it's produced by a rival company and at the same time they mention one that hasn't been released but it's made by them.
>>48321217Nothing ironic here. It's normal to mention your own products, released or upcoming, and not give your rivals free advertising.

>>48327726Does this mean we're getting another Matsuken Samba
>>48327559This news has been trending on Yahoo and X for hours now.
>>48328943Matsuken Samba V is the last of them, I'm afraid.
>>48327746>Makes kinos>Makes tv slopWhy is he like that?
>>48327559If Kagawa can return, Macchan can return, too.
did nothing wrong
>>48329427Yahoo News fags, the same fags who are calling for Matsumoto's ban from tv, are celebrating Kagawa's comeback. This tells you that most of the anti-Matsumoto people have always hated him, and are just using the scandal as a way to kill his career.
>>48327726I downloaded Abarenbo Shogun Season 1 a number of years ago but it ended up collecting dust in my hard drive. Might as well watch it now before the new season.
>>48327559Nice. TBS Sunday night dramas have been unwatchable without him.
I've been out of the loop for about 2 years, I haven't scrolled this thread either, but would someone be kind enough to give a QRD on Downtown's status? What I know thus far.>both in their early 60s, so obviously slowed down a lot>no laughing batsu is long gone, which is probably a good thing for reasons>are they still doing weekly sunday Gaki no Tsukai?>Is Gaki no Tsukai still a thing (Cocorico is 50+ now?)>Is Matsumoto still working after some allegations?>Wait, he dropped a suit against the allegations?Anyway, banzai
>>48333056You say "out of the loop", but then you post as if you're a dirty EOP with no real understanding of anything beyond "downtown=gaki". You're not out of the loop, you were never a part of the loop in the first place.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQQ6-xZcCzECan't wait to watch this next year just for Milet.
>>48333056>are they still doing weekly sunday Gaki no Tsukai?>Is Gaki no Tsukai still a thing (Cocorico is 50+ now?)Yes.>Is Matsumoto still working after some allegations?No. He withdrew from his regular shows, saying he wants to focus on the trial, but now can't return due to public backlash. >Wait, he dropped a suit against the allegations?He dropped it because he made several fuck ups during it and there was a difficulty building a case when both parties can't give concrete evidences to their claims so they had a settlement and Matsumoto apologized for offending anyone involved.
>>48329132Miike doesn't turn down works and offers, he's been like that since his very early days. Also, he isn't a stranger to TV SPs like this one. The same year he released his debut v-cinema film, he was hired by TV Tokyo to direct a TV SP for them, which was Last Run, his third work. He then made several TV SPs for many TV channels throughout the 90s and the early 2000s.
public backlash my assa vocal minority stirs shit up on the internet
People keep repeating it, but it wasn't a settlement. It was a withdrawal by Mastumoto's side.An article explaining the difference:https://www.ben54.jp/news/1687An article about the withdrawal and a statement from Yoshimoto:https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/8e28a723401888036cbbf1bb61d6711191a3d197>金銭の授受が伴わないので和解ではなく、話し合いで解決したということです
>>48333511Milet is still popular?
>>48334279She was like the most obvious industry plant back when she debuted.And now they wanted to push her even more.
>>48327726Never thought I'd ever see the day when Miike is directing Abarenbo Shogun.So are we gonna see beheaded heads flying and blood splattering?>>48327746>>BLUE FIGHT on Jan. 31Didn't know he was making a new movie. Nice.
I know its babies first J-drama, but I really loved The Naked Director. It's mostly focused on him building a business empire at insane speeds and scope, with some focus on art and obviously sex. S2 was a bit of a letdown as obviously all empires must fall, and some aspects of it feel forced, the conflict with kuroki was retardead. Any recommendations for shows like it where it's about the protagonist starting a company and very quickly getting rich/in over their head? I don't need ENG subs
>>48335868Tokyo Swindlers
Recently started watching Documental. First seasons were pretty funny but I got to seasons 5&6 and it's getting pretty bad. Season 5 had the unfunniest faggot win and a pretty weak cast -bar a few people-. Then season 6 is half painfully unfunny women that could only gang up on one guy at a time, a geriatric with dementia and a dude that did literally nothing the whole time I watched. Not even Jimmy -who I really like- could salvage that trainwreck so I had to drop the season in the middlepoint. Does it pick up later again or should I just stop here?
Where can I watch this movie?

>>48335708Would be nice if Miike implemented crazy fighting scenes like in 13 Assassins.

Nice first episode, but they should've trimmed down on the exposition.

>highschool setting>cast hagswhy do they do this
>>48340462>>48344350The story is good IMO. A good balance of humor and drama.
>>48344350It's quite ironic how the worse parts of the series are from the real idols. And these idols are all ugly (aside from Nagisa Saito). Should have casted real actresses instead.
>>48346026Kana and Aqua are good, don't know about the rest.
>>48345634This can't be real
>>48346216https://www.mbs.jp/sim_LoveLive/
>>48346242I know the drama is real, I'm talking about the ugly actress you posted. It looks like it was doctored with AI to make her look ugly and haggard.
>>48346267yeah i took that screenshot in the first minutes of episode 1
I'm glad Asuka is in Oshi no Ko, I would have missed out on a cool show if some shitter like Hashimoto Kanna plays Ai like some retards suggested.
>>48349700based
>>48349700I respectfully disagree with your retarded opinion.
>>48349700the show needs a janiizu idol
>>48349700Ah yes, let's cast some ugly literal who instead of the A-List actress who actually looks like Ai. I'm afraid you have no self awareness when you uttered the word "retards".
did anyone notice the stalker in oshi no ko looks like the stalker in perfect blue lol

>>48353373I don't know, I might watch something I'm interested in even if someone I don't like is in it, but everything I heard about Oshi no ko just made me want to avoid it.
>>48352324TRUE.
>>48340462Oshi no ko was written by a genius mangaka
>>48356044I don't know about that, I've read that they changed a bunch of stuff in this show and that somehow the show+movie will feature the whole manga that ended recently. Also manganimefags seem to hate the ending.
