WBC on Netflix has accelerated the death of TV, with many people who were begrudgingly forced to subscribe to Netflix to watch WBC are now praising the high production value of the event never seen on TV and discovering great original Netflix dramas like Tokyo Swindlers.https://www.jprime.jp/articles/-/40839

Surely Amazon put this out with Japanese subtitles? Where are they?
>>50755260>Amazon>subtitlesYou're joking, right? If it's not on Netflix you can get fucked, all these services hate the deaf audience.One thing that makes me laugh is when you watch something like on tver and it has CC, but when they add it a few hours later those subs magically disappear.
>>50755274Not sure what you're talking about. I have hundreds of downloaded Japanese subtitles from Amazon sitting on my drive.Bunch of shows and films on Nyaa, ripped from Amazon, have JP subs.

>>50755437nta but is amazon the streaming service which has no subs for half of its catalogue or is it the one with ai generated ones? well, either way you only need to wait a few more years until you get a fully subbed catalogue by chatgpt which is accurate enough if you haven't learned the language by now

>>50763385The sweeping majority of Japanese people don't care if he comes back to tv, retires or dies. Since he didn't commit a crime, he should just come out and apologize for causing a "mess", no need to even mention what kinda "mess".

The story became predictable by end. But I still enjoyed watching it.
>>50771389Gotta say the mystery got me hooked, especially the whole tension on ep6. Det. Nara is the MVP for sure. Although, it's so unfortunate that the true mastermind at the end is just passed by like that.
Even in the middle of his rape trial, Saito continues to sell baumkuchen.Meanwhile in court, the victim revealed that Saito offered her a settlement of 25 million yen (~$156k) which she rejected. She said that she wants him to admit his guilt and receive a prison sentence.

>>50780085>>50780417LOL I'm always a bit too late. Had the same thing happen in the last thread too or the one before that. They've had it open twice like a month apart now so maybe I should pay closer attention a month from now. But as we all know, that's when they'll definitely not open it up.

why did Hamada have a mustache on Suiyobi?
>>50793684It's because Reboot's final episode is airing in 3 days.>>50793892God forbid someone tries something new.
>>50794634Never watched anything from the 2010s list.
>>50790843Why not?
>>50794709There's always a drought in Netflix Japan when it comes to dramas, would have been better if they released one of them in Winter 2026 instead

>>50780737sooo on 4/4 we get Sakagami and some tranny insteadI'm not sure they'd announce Hamada casually among the other content for the upcoming month thoughThere are at least some other stuff to look forward to
https://youtu.be/g9B_DOrir-s
>>50794953Just watched 7:3 with Sakagami. Probably one of the best.
>>50794229this was a great episode and next week is looking good as well
>>50794229as the saying goes: the nail that sticks out is going to get shit on and shamed on the internet
recommending this movie. it's sad and very japanese-y movie so you end up with unanswered questions at the end of the movie but I liked it anyway
all about lily chou chou. it's like they turned an anime into a movie. but good and sad for the phone girl
>>50795949Very few filmmakers have captured millennial angst and anxieties living in the internet era and finding love and friendship amidst it better than Iwai Shunji. Check out his other work Hana & Alice (and its anime film prequel).
what really happened in that pokemon center?
>>50796452A Zangoose plushie came to life, used Metal Claw on one of the customers, and then used Final Gambit.
>>50794953Hamada doesn't want to show up next to Matsumoto because he's scared of damaging his image
>>50797048I doubt that. That's what some people said when they saw Hamada not having any content on DT+ when it started, but that's not the case anymore.

>>50795949Netflix should really hire Iwai to direct an animated series version of Chou Chou, would be a hit
>>50794229>RebootI don't know why no one here watched it (or any TBS Sunday Theatre dramas). These are the only tv dramas worth watching these days
anyone who watched the action live of MPD psycho?
>>50794634I miss Hiro Mizushima
>>50797327live action*
>>50797327Long ago, just watch it.
>>50797515was it enjoyable? (at least)
>>50797572It's a cop drama with Miike's flavor.
>>50797581k thx
>>50797229>>50795949imho nostalgia content is one of the hardest to get right. people *want* it but as a creator or producer there's no real formula to follow in order to deliver iti think about "the naked director" and how much effort they put in to showa-fy everything and they even spent a load of cash shooting overseas and licencing those 80/90s songs. that was ok but it never truly took offthen there's the power rangers thing where they brought back most of the still alive actors. that was a 55min mini-film that was just okay
>>50797327Watch it if you want to rewire your brain. Even more than on its release in 2000 it feels like a look into another world. The way Miike Takashi is using shot on video and leaning into it is astounding. While it's not as good as the manga, it's a surreal piece of media up there with other iconic surreal pieces of medias like SUDA51's videogame The Silver Case, Chiaki J. Konaka's anime Serial Experiments Lain, Kon Satoshi's anime Paranoia Agent, Sono Sion's film Suicide Club and Kurosawa Kiyoshi's film Pulse when it comes to getting and unraveling the emerging Digital Age, the end of the 90s and the start of the 00s.
>>50798076late 90' to early 00' was so comfy
>>50798139I believe it was the period where all aspects of Japanese media peaked.
>>50795945this is the most realistic fucked up movie ive watched
>>50798403that scene on the boat with his mother was fucked up indeed
>>50773823
>>50797231It will be added to Netflix in Junehttps://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2026/03/28/articles/20260327s00041000490000c.html
>>50799924Even TBS's high budget drama can't compete with Netflix's original production (see: VIVANT). This is not just about the budget, the stories are made with the Japanese tv regulations imposed so it will only appeal to Japanese BBAs and some (not all) weebs.
>>50799924>>50799937netflix is one of the best things that could've happened to the festering pustule that is terrestrial jdrama. i legit have not been excited about jdrama like this since i was in my teenssorry for being crass but i cannot express how happy i am when i see their name on the promo posters

>>50802006Kamikaze Girls is one of the titles my middle school classmate introduced to me over 20 years ago as my introduction to Japanese films, I've rewatched it many times since then.

>>50797626But it wouldn't be a problem if it's in anime form. Liar Game is being adapted to anime in 2026.
>>50802293sono is a hack i'm afraid
is it good?
>>50805206I think this film was ahead of its time. Despite it being early 60s Japan, its portrait of a sort of "post-ideological" hopeless nihilism in young people helps me understand and even sympathize with some things the zoomers are going through today. But yeah, it's a good film. Oshima is really up there on the list of the greatest scope directors of all time.
>>50805217i found death by hanging disagreeable
>4 minutes in and we cut to koreathe fuck, oshima really was a cuck for zainichi
>>50805230>death by hangingThe story and its message was kind of hard to combine with him being a very outspoken anti-colonial leftist lol. Politics aside, it was a great film. It started as a dark comedy but as it progressed, it became something like an absurd, Kafkaesque satire/psychological drama. Unpredictable and it took a lot of risks.
>>50805247the story it is based off of "loosely" is repugnant, to elicit and empathy to the zainichi murderer is revolting
>>50805237The majority of Japanese celebs are China and Korea left-wing worshipers
>>50805255tis a merely artistic expression

Normally when someone sees me they greet me, but that woman hid her face the moment she saw me. No matter how you think about it, it must be a woman who was at Sanma's apartment.
