A thread for discussion and recommendation of Japanese TV and movies.FAQ: https://pastebin.com/BARFCHgFPrevious Thread:>>50745925
>>50813387Why no one recommends Showa period dramas? I've been coming here on and off for half a decade and the only Showa period drama I frequently see posted is Sukeban Deka, everything else is from Heisei and Reiwa. For a period that spans 30 years, there should be more dramas worth watching than just Sukeban Deka.This rant aside, if you know any Showa period dramas I should watch, please let me know, I'm very much interested in that period of Japan.

>>50813741the 80s were wild, this would never be shown on tv these days
>>50813741Cute. Name?
>>50813695Is it really a "period drama" if it was set in the present when it came out?
>>50813387I can tell this a manga adaptation just from the MC's silly nose thing. Is it any good?

>>50815347>commemorating the 140th birthdayInstead of Tanizaki's kinky side, which will be adapted into something with terrible acting, they could have given Kore-eda the rights to Makioka Sisters instead of producing this shit.

>>50813387This drama is out huh?Gonna watch one episode per day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYd3vyj1kHUOzu's Early Summer (1951) remastered in 4k
>>50817175I've been meaning to watch this for some years now
>>50817175Early Summer is easily one of my favorite endings of all time. The music and the way the camera moves across the paddy fields with the winds blowing across them, it just does something to me.
>>50813387Anyone watched it yet? Worth downloading?
any recs for movie/tv in the last year?

Tsukamoto Shinya's second American film (and his third war film). It's also shot in Japan, as well as the US, Thailand and Vietnam. https://www.screendaily.com/news/shinya-tsukamoto-readies-vietnam-veteran-drama-mr-nelson-did-you-kill-people/5215259.article
>>50824788I wish he'd make a new cyberpunk horror movie or a psychological-thriller/horror movie
>>50824788His other anti-war films were brutal. Looking forward to this.
Beat Takeshi reminiscing about his childhood after watching a VTR about Tokyo's vacant houses issue>Back in my childhood, vacant houses weren’t really an issue, but every now and then one would pop up. Since I was a bit of a troublemaker as a kid, I’d use those vacant houses as my hangout to play with my pet chicken.

Beat Takeshi promoting the new Detective Conan film.Also creaming announcer Iwata who went freelance on April 1.

Two episodes into Sai. Is this just gonna be unrelated stories with the guy appearing and someone dying every episode until the last? I feel like this isn't a good plot structure.
>>50831948Don't rush it. Just wait for it.
>>50831974Okay. I think episode 3 was my favorite so far. Are there actually cuties like this stuck in dead end jobs in Japan? I could have saved her.
>>50832089There is.
>>50813387Watched episode 1, it was pretty good.I thought Sissonne's Hasegawa was the only owarai geinin in the drama, then this guy shows up at the end. It's always amusing seeing random geinins in dramas and movies acting differently from their original personas.
>>50830741The producer likely asked her to stay, maybe even Takeshi and Tokoro, too. The fact that they even dedicated time specifically for her like that shows that she's well-liked by Takeshi and Tokoro, as well as the show's staff. >>50831389Conan movie written and directed by Takeshi when?

>>50833537They are here. Tamori, Beat Takeshi and Akashiya Sanma are still active.
>>50831948Where are you watching or downloaded it? I can't find it outside of the official wowow website
>>50834837>Most punchable face in the industryThat would be Kanata Hongo.I also have a deep hatred for Masato Sakai, dude constantly looks like he's about to sneeze, but that seems to be a more personal thing.

you didnt seriously learn japanese for tv did you?
>>50830661>>50833199Is there something special about this Conan movie for Kitano to promote it? Haven't watched a Conan movie since 2016
>>50838355yes surprisingly
>>50813387What's the best movie starring Kayama Yuzo I should watch?
>>50839616Red Beard (1968)
>>50836902Matsumoto. He's irrelevant now.
>>50838184They'll just move to other eras. John Manjiro is not a very old figure, he's from the late Meiji era.
>>50839843and when all eras are exhausted?
>>50839843any show about him?
>>50840115Japan's documented history of civilization with key figures spans over 2000 years ago, yet most taiga dramas are based on two or three periods, and not in their entirety too. There's so much to adapt, but they choose not.
>>50839834I'm sure, that's why it becomes news when he does something. Irrelevant people are known to be target of garbage media trying to make money by using their names.
>>50839390yes, he got a bag of yen dropped on his lap that's what
>>50839233even the japanese don't watch tv anymore goddamn
>>50841662Because there are other ways to watch shows from tvhttps://tver.jp/rankings/episode
>>50839390It's not the first time Takeshi promoted it on Marumie. It's a show on NTV, the same station that airs Conan.

>>50842871I read the manga years ago and it was bad.
>>50841831it's the gradual move away from tv which is pretty much true for most countries in the world that surprises me, and it's the fact that i thought jptv would withstand it simply because of how ingrained it is in the culture and how much of it there isthe amount of time you need to have to be able to watch it every time marumie and other variety is simply not sustainable if you have stuff to do in your life, while youtube, social media and games lets you pick and choose when you consume the content which you choose yourself, and that's the stuff that's taken a chunk out of the jptv pie
>>50842871I checked the pastebin and other sites elsewhere and i cant find it anywhere. How tf do I go about watching this?

Kanna Hashimoto. She went viral for a picture when she was a preteen idol and has been since then treated like a goddess despite all the ‘heydey’ pictures of her are from when 1) she was a literal child and 2) very edited. Now that she is grown (she is still hailed as thee beauty in Japan) her features are settled and the proportions are so off. The japanese still drool over her, maybe because of her light eyes but really I just don’t get it. Maybe I don’t get anything about pedophile island aka Japan. She’s just not pretty. She’s homely at best.

He was stopped by police after running a red light and when the police checked his license they discovered it was expired by about two months. He told investigators at the time that he knew his license was expired, but in the apology video he posted on YouTube he claims he didn't notice.

>>50813387watchingfirst impressions are: yep, it's a jdrama alright, from the way they shoot it, to the dialogue, the plot and down to the characterizationneither good nor bad. just very typical.i'm guessing that the set design appeals to the foreign watchers of jdrama nowadays where the dark, gritty urban decay of inner city tokyo contrasts with the bright and clean high rise buildings and tourists spots they usually see. the cramped unlit hallways leading up to the MC's offices and him being on the roof gives the viewer the vibe of "real japan" but as we know most of this is manufactured as wellthe series is ok. i will continue watching it maybe but i'll probably forget about it in half a year
>>50867097Gonna watch the final episode tomorrow, but overall it was a decent watch. Nothing outstanding, but I enjoyed it. Maybe the original manga is like that but I think a more creative director would have made it better.
>>50867108do you think you're the target audience for it? because i don't think i am. it's a story i've seen before even though i haven't seen or read this specific novel/drama. the moral lessons of the law being imperfect and the zero-sum result when someone wins or loses in a court case feels like it's preaching to the choir at this point. i don't know. maybe the original novel simply isn't that good or the direction of this drama is phoned in. i can't point out anything that's bad about the series but i can't say that it's good either. it's a series of all time.
>>50813387I'm looking for movies similar to Takeshi Kitano's Kikujiro. Movies that have the adult-child dynamic in a slice-of-life setting. Anyone knows any good ones?
