Beat Takeshi does not trust Toranpu-san>Whenever Trump shows up, it always feels like there’s something fishy going on. I can’t help but think that he's actually hiding oil and is the only one making a killing off it. He’s telling lies again, or at least, that’s the vibe I get. I just can't trust Trump.
>>50889053No one does, Mr. Kitano
I want to watch a movie, something atmospheric or nostalgic. Like Iwai stuff. Happyend (2024) was also good. But not necessarily just iyashikei, I need something going on.Any suggestions?
I'm looking for japanese documentaries about societal matters like NEETs, work culture, the gambling world, etc. Any recommendations? And where could I find this type of stuff more generally? Raws or subs it doesn't really matter though no hardsubs would be nice

Did you know we love and respect Ano here? It's true.
>>50891612She looks like her namesakehttps://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ano
>>50890086i miss how pretty the women looked in the 80sthe 80s showa vibe in general seems comfymaxx
>>50891775what happened?
what the FUCK is his problem?
>>50892070cosmetics and fashion moved towards a trend of minimalizing facial features and making your face look lighter and youngerbut that's not all, now we factor in the korean fashion trend with enlarged eyes, sculpted noses and shaved chins
>>50892080i don't listen to people talk about japan when they can't speak japanese after living there for over a decadei don't respect them, and then again how do you know the show is bad when you can't follow it
>>50892084If you were to learn he can understand and speak Japanese just fine would that change your opinion? Or do you require a minimum degree of fluency?
>>50892109the second, and he does not have the cultural or background knowledge to talk about how he hates jp variety even if it is badhe's a youtube slug masquerading as a japanese cultural expert when he doesn't have the capacity to truly engage with it
>>50892080why are you asking uswatch the video instead
またエガちゃんがテレビに出ないもねぇー。せめて平成のように、昨今のバライエティとかドラマとかも全部が面白くない。
>>50892120it's soo funny when a guy living in his mom's basement on the other side of the planet thinks he's the cultural expert over someone who's lived most of his life in japansour grapes muchit's fine to baselessly hate youtubers but never go full retard>>50892136>バライエティとかドラマとかも全部が面白くないdont tell that to the guy above
>simping for youtubers when his video gets pushback after getting posted in a general for japanese movies and tvpeople don't watch variety for mental stimulation. they watch it out of habit, tradition and is a part of their cultural identity. it's boring and predictable, some may even say bad, but it's comfortable and familiar.it's a part of the rhythm in their every day life. chris doesn't understand that staying within the bounds of the status quo is a japanese sensibility, but of course he will never understand this because he's an outsider who pretends to be on the inside.>mom's basement>full retardhighly original insults coming from the broadly japanese subscriber brainstrust. another reason i don't respect him is because he creates people like you. talk about japanese tv and film or fuck off.

>acgnx has the pikpak integrationwish I knew it sooner, it immediately downloaded stuff that was taking me weeks to download.
>>50894387can you show me?
>>50894485SureThe site is acgnx dot se and make a pikpak account, I'd use the desktop client instead of the browser page, the free account has a limit of 6gb file size.Once you searched for something on acgnx click on the blue box face icon thing next to the magnet, then it should start the process of fetching the file, which could take a little bit, after it has fetched them, add the ones you want to download to your profile and download them.I'm not sure how the fetching process work, if they have them in their archives or it downloads them, but not all files will fetch successfully.I used it just for javs until now and it works really well with them on bt4g

>>50894833>>50894836this is classifiable as hate speech, please stop hating on Kanna and hate on Anus instead
WE LOVE ANO HERE
>>50894904I don't know, but i think it's because she's human
>>50895152ah two more reasons to hate this show
is it up yet?
>>50895152>>50895173isnt she already rich?
>>50895221yes but it's called acting
>>50895197In Avistaz, sure.
imagine if there were 1 billion japanese in the world
>>50895197is this show just a biography drama?
>>50895445You can have too much of a good thing
>>50892192The live-action is well done. It follows the same bittersweet story as the original anime with more plot lines and scenes added that mostly enhance it. I slightly prefer this rendition mainly because it has double the runtime, which allows it to flesh out the parts where the original felt rushed, specifically during the adult chapters.

>>50895932there's always a mickey mouse segment in their music specials
>>50895580how?
>>50896011it would dilute what makes them special I think, being too many of them, and even more importantly, they wouldn't be able to fit all in Japan save making it incredibly over populated, so they'd have to colonize outside Japan, which would be disastrous in the long term.
>>50896286would you spit roast hashimoto kanna with beat takeshi-san?
>>50896714Yes, I would spit roast Beat Takeshi-san with Hashimoto Kanna-chan
>>50896657200-300 million japanese?
>>50896714Would be an honor
>>50896714Honestly I'd just chat with him while he porks her; she's really not my type
is there a japanese tv actress who looks like suzu honjo?
>>50898445Tokiwa Takako kinda does
Fujiwara had their "first solo live show in 29 years" (which isn't really true, I remember they did a show back in 2021). The concept was that Fujiwara would perform Hero Show-like skits written for them by other comedians.I didn't find it that interesting honestly, it just made me think they're funnier when they're inflicting self-harm for laughs. During the kaiju skit, Fujimon made a reference to his hit-and-run saying "you need to report if you get in an accident" which was annoying to see he's still pretending he wasn't drunk driving.I think the best skit was the one that Kamaitachi's Yamauchi wrote. They made a sugar glass bottle (pretty sure I've seen these same bottles in other Yoshimoto videos) into a club so that Haranishi could snap it in half and smash it on his head which I thought was pretty smart. Also stuck his head in front of a dry ice cannon.
>>50898445is this jav?
>>50898674yes, she's a jav actress.

>>50899534Maybe xe doesn't watch AV
>>50899552do you know who that is?
>>50898562Even though all but one were written by FUJIWARA, they all felt like FUJIWARA's to me, with not just the material but the structure of the neta. My favorite was Kuukikaidan's Katamari's.

>---Since this is a movie channel, we'd like to ask you about your favorite directors>"There are so many! If we include overseas directors, the number becomes enormous, so let me just list the Japanese directors I would absolutely love to work with someday. Sho Miyake, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Takeshi Kitano, Toshiaki Toyoda, Sang-il Lee, Hirokazu Kore-eda, and Shinya Tsukamoto. They are such distant figures that it's a dream, but I don't care how old I am or what role I play. I just want to see and experience their filming process. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of words they use to elicit such performances from actors, how they capture such wonderful expressions, and why their films are so moving."https://eigachannel.jp/interview/206893/Thoughts on her taste?
>>50901324Safe
>>50896286what was her appeal again?
>>50901324Fuck me, she's perfect
>>50901378The final episodes of the original series, the movie and the revival were all awful.I want this to be good, but live action writers always go full retard whenever they have to write something on their own.
>>50900914brown?
>>50902041i don't have the courage in normal spaces to say the original GTO wasn't that good and had some weird pacing for a 200chp manga
>>50901378A Reiwa style GTO will probably be like the story in these show.https://mydramalist.com/33669-ore-no-sukato-doko-ittahttps://mydramalist.com/769689-billion-x-school
>>50902311I don't hold Tooru Fujisawa in high regard either (And who does really? His publisher put his current GTO series in hiatus while the Sorimachi version was getting a revival unbeknownst to him), which is why I find even more mind-boggling how bad the live action screenwriters are in comparison.
>>50902503Do not disrespect one of my favorite mangakas, please.
>>50902867>>50902503see? it's like we kicked a puppy or something
>>50891775
>>50904471i finally realized who konomin reminds me of
The main reason why Japanese cinema never got anything close to the global popularity that anime has is the ethnic unfamiliarity with Asian faces that non-Asians (especially Westerners) have. While the racially ambiguous art-style of anime makes it easy for anyone around the world to watch, even live action adaptations of anime are limited by characters looking 'off' to non-Asians when they are played by Japanese actors. (This is also why Korean dramas are mainstream in Asia but more niche in the West, but are still mainstream with Asian diaspora in the West as well.)Korean dramas have managed to gain significant global popularity despite this big handicap, but they've basically reached everyone in the world who are open to watching shows with only Asians first. Chinese dramas have managed to carve out their own global niche following with the help of their massive diaspora, but without that, it's hard to see Japan ever matching the popularity of Korean dramas due to their huge first-mover advantage. For years, Netflix have carried heaps of J-dramas and regularly recommends them to K-drama viewers, but that hasn't had any effect in creating consistent global viewership for them like K-dramas have.
>>50904580I think you're overthinking it. It's just that there aren't many great Jdrama to catch people.
>>50891775Doguchi in the 80s was so cute, too bad she hit the wall fast.

Apparently 大脱出３episode 1 to 3 is free on youtube. Also macchan uploaded several downtown+ contents on youtube as well. Probably to promote the channel plus some delicious youtube revenue.
I hate that it just ended like that.
>>50905168is it worth watching?
In other news, our friend from last year has made another appearance this week.
>>50905237It's just like Ushijima the loan shark but that one had a better story imo.
>>50905168The manga is ongoing
>>50905247qrd?
>>50905237i don't think it's very interesting and it says nothing important or does anything original, but from a technical and aesthetic standpoint it's insanely well donedo you like having something on the tv while you're glancing at your phone from time to time? this is good for that
>>50905550His appearance last year: >>>/wsg/6138724This time it was about foreigners drawing the flag of their country from the head.
>>50906734Do you think みな実 left this show because she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror and realized it's embarrassing to be approaching 40 and still a ぶりっ子
>>50906742She's still a burikko whenever she appears on other variety shows so no.
Kitano Takeshi received a $230,000 watch engraved with his name from Jacob & Co. for freehttps://www.instagram.com/p/DXBivrKEWDM/
>>50907371they probably paid takeshi a hefty sum to do this on top of getting the watch
how do i make a tver account?
>>50907371stipulation is that he wears it whenever he's out or on tv
>>50907371I wonder how many celebrities buy their own $300k watch vs. get it gifted for PR purposes. Must be kind of embarrassing being a publicly recognizable face but having to waste your own money on stuff like that
>>50887251middle lady is very cute
>>50907984Not all recognizable celebs are on this level. You need to have a certain level of success for expensive accessories companies to seek you. You would never see them gifting such watches to someone like Yamada Yuki or Chidori's Nobu, despite being very recognizable.
>>50905237If you have nothing better to watch.
>>50907984>but having to waste your own money on stuff like thatIt's the complete opposite. Spending lavishly without a care is what celebrities do, makes them feel superior. Even mid level geinins do that. With that being said, it's not a common thing to give celebrities something that costs 1.5 million yen, it needs to be someone of Beat Takeshi's caliber, and there's not many like him. Sure they'll get some eyes on their products, but it's more like an honor to have Takeshi wear their watches.
are there enough Japanese Movie and TV to last a lifetime?
>>50909931If you don't care about genres/themes then yes. If you're only interested in specific genres/themes then it gets more diffiuclt. I've pretty much run out of shows/movies that depict school bullying for example.

>>50910646thank you, I'll check them out
>>50910692is that really why it's down?
>>50912556You think they're withholding your asian drama from you because of some CIA psyop?
>>50895197https://nyaa.si/view/2104065
what do i say to people like this?
dramaotaku is big evil
>>50913576yes
>>50913650they're often cringe, overly melodramatic and overly convoluted for no good reason, but I still enjoy the Japanese culture elements being a weeb.And since I'm farming japanese hours for practice it helps tolerate stuff that I would never watch in my own language.There's some stuff that I really had to force myself to finish though, like ase to sekken, which had something gross about the characters and the way it was shot, or boys over flowers, in which I basically disliked all the male characters and it was obviously a show made for teenage girls and not adult men, though I liked the ending movie.
why are there so many gay jdramas at any given time?
how often do you run out of shows to watch? for me all the time
are light novel adaptions worse than manga adaptions?
>>50917433Yes, both anime and dramas.
>>50917471I never really got why so many LN protagonists have no personality to speak of but get treated like they're James Bond levels of charming and endearing, or why that seems to appeal to the target audience
>>50917488>>50917471when you think about the person writing 'light' novels it'll make sense. low barrier of entry compared to actual writers who get proper published - these guys need to suffer. a lot of the times LN writers are just idealized self-inserts
>>50917488You mean like in the works of bestselling author Haruki Murakami?
why do we hate ano again?

Kurochan's personal opinion: "A lot of zoomers are good at dishing it out but bad at taking it. It's because they haven't experienced anything unpleasant."https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202605040000129.html
>>50917837why should i listen to some baldie?
>>50917837Very true, TV censorship doesn't help either.
>>50917837Beat Takeshi complained about zoomers on TV Tackle yesterday>I had a lot of young people working for me, but not a single one ever came to me directly to say they wanted to quit. They just disappeared before I knew it. They couldn’t bring themselves to say they were quitting.

i hate subbers so much its unreal
>>50919462The main girls can hardly act and they're supposed to be singing and rapping in this? It sounds terrible lmao
do you consider 10 year old shows old?
>>50898562i've seen several references to Fujimon's accident usually from rather good comedians. Ranjatai Kunizaki and Hollywood Zakoshisyoh which I think actually shocked him. I can't exactly say. As I think you know it's always difficult to tell what's real and what's an act in that world.
>>50901092I always find Chidori's shows a bit underwhelming. I like them, but they're fairly low effort.But this I will pick up.

>>50879984I was intrigued by Kazuko Hosoki after watching her biopic on Netflix so I looked up Japanese people's impression of her but they almost all see her as a harsh, mean and tyrannic woman with a shady background (yakuza connection, con artistry, etc.). Makes me wonder how she was able to become a major name on tv
>>50922540I used to see her before she disappeared, that was back in the 2000s. She used to draw big numbers in tv ratings, so some tv stations used her
>>50922306not until you watch "Bet" and leave a favorable review
does anyone know where i can watch old broadcasts from the kts kagoshima tv station specifically from march, july, and november 2018?
>>50922540Beat Takeshi said this when Hosoki was at the height of her career>People like that are just zashiki geinins (entertainers who perform at banquets or parlors to entertain guests). When company presidents would visit high-end restaurants, she was often called in to perform. She’d suck up to the CEOs, flatter them, and sometimes give them a pep talk, saying things like, “You can’t go on like that. Have you been visiting your ancestors’ graves?” She’d switch between praising and criticizing them. But in the end, she’d say something like, “But you know, it’ll be fine. I’m telling you, you’ll succeed,” and make sure they left feeling good. It’s nothing special. Just a typical parlor entertainer. But as people today have become more mentally fragile and started clinging to things like fortune-telling, that’s how those kinds of people emerged. (this was during the 2000s when religious cults and fortune-telling were popular). Back in the day, they were just common parlor entertainers. And now they’re being called “Sensei, Sensei”. It’s a real headache, isn’t it?”
>>50924376>Sugawara Bunta voiced by Ukaji TakashiI haven't played any RGG games since Nagoshi left but this sounds intriguing.
>>50924388>RGGNig Ga Gotoku
>>50924381>Back in the day, they were just common parlor entertainers. And now they’re being called “Sensei, Sensei”takeshi doesn't miss
>>50920197Just finished watching it. It had energy but the writing was less than desired>they're supposed to be singing and rapping in this? Only one of them does. And yeah it was awkward. But I chalked that up to Japanese rapping in general >The main girls can hardly actThey did fine, also I realized upon watching than one of them was Natsuki from "Cooking for the Maiko House", one of my favorite shows ever. She was charismatic, and watching while comparing her performance from that show was the reason why I ended up enjoying my time with the movie. Don't think I would recommend it though (づ ◕‿◕ )づ
>>50902867>one of my favorite mangakasReally? He's such a one trick pony that even if you adore GTO that much I find that an incredibly insulting thing to say about the industry.
diehard anime fans will do anything to jump on the hate bandwagon and hate on live actions, nothing new
is the entire jdrama community on the japanese internet or is it just really small?
>>50926406The only ones who watch J-media are the Chinese and some Koreans, seeing as many jp shows gets cn subs.
>>50925413maybe he's only ever read one manga lols
>>50926406>>50926429the only part of j-culture that remains mainstream is anime and maybe manga. jdrama is way too campy for the west and E+SE asians have moved onto kdramathe people who enjoy jdrama usually have some sort of connection to it like knowing the language or still keeping up with it since they were younger
unpopular opinion but that's why i'm glad netflix is entering the market. i don't think it'll change anyhting in the long run but i am interested in their experiment
>>50927335Kshit is blocked in China since 2016 because of the THAAD US anti-missile system. They lost that huge market but some pirate I guess. Which may have played a part in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1_j6izmEX4 https://www.koreaboo.com/stories/netflix-may-actually-ruining-favorite-k-dramas/ but this ain't the thread for it so just referencing. They pirate Jent since only a selection is available legally, that's why there's J variety and music shows reuploads on bilibili and some get fansubs. Besides, cn have their own stuff anyway.
this is the best hashimoto movie
>>50928122lol at least there are subbed jdramas on Netflix/D+/Prime now.
>>50928122you know, i had major gripes about donos and for-profit groups when i did manga scanlating and i never bought a chapter to mass distribute it on mangadexthese fucking duds however are shameless
>>50928122Bake bake is getting an English official release somewhere?
>needing subs
>>50928122was the show any good?
>>50928784Yes
>>50928784nope
>>50906734kek based>tfw I see ano posts
We love and respect Ano.
>>50928784Currently watching it and it's pretty wholesome so far, mostly focused on the girl.The Meiji era is one of my favorite historical periods from Japan but I never really cared about Lafcadio Hearn. I always avoided him for the fucking weeb he was. I wonder if they'll show Soseki taking over his position. That should be fun.Also, fuck whoever rips the Nip subs from the Asadoras. They're always messed up.
>>50927348Agreed>>50927504I think it works better for Japan as it's still made for themselves without caring about exporting. It's anime that might cause some concern. While in Korea they seem rather affected by external influences or maybe those articles are exaggerating. I watch Korean movies sometimes but not enough to tell what the changes are.
>>50930204good
>>50891775why she jumped?

>>50931585https://jpop.fandom.com/wiki/Okada_Yukiko>died in '86>studios kept releasing her shit bleeding that stone drypay for nothing pirate everything
>Chiruran Shinsengumi RequiemFirst ep on avistaz with subs, worth checking out? First time I hear of it. The one chonmage looks retarded.
Suzuki Koji (68), the creator of Ring has passed away
>>50932559A great loss. He's one of my favorite Japanese novelists, I own many of his books and reread them many times.
I'm about to watch this. Wish me luck.
>>50933067Miike Takashi has a really special way of blending grounded stories with flashes of batshit insanity that's so slept on, like the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes of Dead or Alive 1.
>>50933171Lot at the ending. That was a real Deus Ex Machina.
>>5093306720 years later and my friends still give shit for forcing them to watch DoA 2. Enjoy, anon.
>>50933304Force them to watch 3
>>50932559FThe rise of J-Horror wouldn't have happened without the adaptations of his books
Any crime films were adult criminals have a good vocabulary? The few yakuza films I've watched have been unbearable. All they do is scream てめえ and ぶっ殺せよ. It's worse than watching shit with black or latino gangsters, except moonspeak.
>>50933892Expecting a gangster to talk like a 東大 professor?
>>50933067One of my favorite Miike movies, the ending is legendary
Beat Takeshi introduces his dear African friend, Zomahon-san>Takeshi: We have someone here named Zomahon. He’s been living in Japan for decades, but when I mentioned the price hike just now, he was like "What’s that?">Zomahon: I’d like to ask Prime Minister Takaichi to stop making foreigners with permanent residency, who are essentially paying for their residency, pay even more in taxes
>>50933939i want japan to be a gaijin free land
>>50933962wish granted, please report to your nearest 7 eleven chain for 店員 dutiesyou will work until you are 98 since you kicked all of the nepalese and indians out
>I wonder if Macchan is watching the stream>I think he is watching
>>50935017DT+?
>>50933974I bet most of my japanese サラリーマン friends would love that life instead. Having golden week last until wednesday and being forced to go back to the relentless grind on thursday is fucking hell. At least コンビニ life is less stressful and you get more free time to play video games with your friends again. Too bad boomer parents can't understand this and will get ashamed of you.
>>50935556>Too bad boomer parents can't understand this and will get ashamed of you.Not a boomer, but I'd be ashamed of you as well. You don't need to become something that requires a degree, but at least become something proper like a train driver.I thought about also adding "nurse" there, but that requires a degree in Japan after all.
>>50935335yeah
Is it over for him?
what do you watch on showa day?
>>50936303The geinins world is really just a gathering of freaks
>>50936303Both him and the guy he bullied are pieces of shits
>don't engage with variety or owarai bs>live drama-free with only the best j-cinema has to offerfeels good mon
>>50935556didn't a combini dude ice himself because he had to work months on end at his failing store
>>50936570
>>50933939>ZomahonAfrican names sound like JRPG bosses
>>50936303What did he do
>>50936968id tickle his zomahon if you know what i mean
>>50936303Did nothing wrong. That other geinin is a failure so he's using le exposé meme for attention
>>50937315He bullied some geinin for 10 years
Ornithologist Beat Takeshi.
Just watched Dead or Alive 2 and it was inferior to the first one. The plot of gangsters going back to their roots reminded me a little of Sonatine.
What the fuck am I watching? What's this penis head thing?
>>509392452 really felt like Miike was emulating Kitano Takeshi. There's even Hanabi elements.>>50939450My personal understanding is that it's a callback to the surreal nonsensical ending of 1.
It's amazing how she keeps getting more sexier since I first saw her in that GTO remake
>>50939671What's worse? A qt who can't act or a qt who only gets casted in shitty shows?
>>50939671Haven't seen her in ages
>>50939671She was my crush when I was in high school 17 years ago
is there a name for this genre? cute japanese girls doing things? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8X8KuMbmk4
>>50940183These are just typical older idol shows anon. This was from a old morning masume program i think.
>>50940183That's idolshit, watch those whichever48, Kawaii Lab etc shows.
>>50940184>>50940194excellent
>>50939661>My personal understanding is that it's a callback to the surreal nonsensical ending of 1.The ending is kinda similar to Shinya Tsukamoto Tetsuo The Iron Man.
>>50940453Miike and Tsukamoto are friends so I'm not surprised if he was paying homage to his most notable film. Tsukamoto also played a cameo role in Dead or Alive 2. I'm itching to rewatch the trilogy now, haven't rewatched it in over a decade.
junai joto is good
>>50914039i dont know why they denied me
>>50943440you need active social media so they can vet youin a way i get it but what the hell that is weird

You might live long enough to see Chidori's Daigo in Cannes receiving a standing ovation from movie buffs.
Hamaguchi sweep soon
>>50894917So trve...
>>50945967Is he the first Japanese director to film a French language movie?
>>50946401Nah, Oshima did one way back in the 80's and I'm pretty sure there'd be some earlier examples. French co-produce east asian movies often. Recently Kore-eda also did a French film after his Palme win and Kiyoshi remade Serpent's Path in France a couple of years ago.
>>50946401Finally a movie I can self-insert as the white girl
>>50936303Japs and their X, as usual. Disgusting culture.
>Two lesbians in a house for mentally disabled people spend three and a half hours discussing how bad capitalism is.>That is basically the entire film.>It is slow, repetitive, painfully self-important, and almost aggressively uninterested in the viewer. Nothing develops, nothing surprises, and after a while the political dialogue starts to feel less like insight and more like punishment.>Watching it felt like being trapped in someone else’s seminar, except the seminar never ends and nobody is allowed to make a point in under ten minutes.>It was torture.Hamagoatchi does it again!
>>50949766Is this about "All of a Sudden"?
>>50949854Yeah, someone on letterboxd walked out. Everything they wrote only raised my excitement. Weak mind wouldn't survive Happy Hour and Intimacies, clearly.
>>50949766Fukada's Nagi Notes seems like it was also shit. Our guy Koreeda shall save Japan's face at this year's Cannes.
>>50949923it will be thanks to daigo
I'm more excited for Kyojo part 2
