I liked Hiroshi Abe on TRICK so I went looking for something else comedy related and decided to try Dragon Zakura. His character was too one-note but the show was generally enjoyable (mostly because Nagasawa Masami was very cute). Tried to watch the sequel but it was absolutely unbearable. Setting aside the fact that almost everyone on new drama can't act and looks like a deformed alien (Minami Sara was the only exception), is the story going to the shitter a manga problem or is it the drama not caring about the original material again? The only actually good live action manga adaptation I've come across was the Aoi Haru movie with everything else ranging from hot garbage (Kyou kara ore wa, could also be the case for Aoi Honoo due to the MCs terrible acting but the girls were cute and the theme was interesting enough to make it bearable) to "We don't care about the original but we're too incompetent to come up with an interesting setting and want the audience boost from a pre-existing title" (Arakawa under the bridge, kyou kara ore wa is also guilty of this). Quite the tangent, recc any good comedies if you want or something fun with Hiroshi where he doesn't play the exact same guy.

when did jdramas become slop?

>>49490137
When the BPO started to strangle TV. It happened imperceptibly over time but it really cranked up since 2019.

>>49490137
Just watch kino movies and stop watching tvslop
we prefer kino movies here

Sono Sion held a press conference at the FCCJ, stating that he has basically not been able to do any work at all since the sex assault report in 2022 and that he's doing this press conference with the sole intention of being able to make films again

He also revealed that he's suing actor Yuki Matsuzaki, who said on Twitter that he demanded sexual acts from actresses he met at his workshop, claiming that he had been defamed and seeking compensation for damages.

>“For the past three years, I have been exhausted, depressed, and contemplated suicide after taking excessive amounts of sleeping pills. I was also hospitalized in a psychosomatic clinic." ”My wife was also living an anxious life. Of course, my income was cut off, funds were poured into the trial, and I ran out of money. I was driven into a corner by unjustified slander"

Full press conference:

I have no doubt in my mind that he's 10000% guilty, but I don't give a fuck. I just want him to make movies again.

Yeah, he should be paying off his crimes by making more movies a year

Why are geniuses like Sono and Matsumoto such sexual abusers?

>>49495538
damn, I haven't prepared, my drives are full. Is it my imagination or they didn't send she extra points and invites this time?

>>49497663
Dunno about directors but the whole point of becoming a warai geinin used to be to sleep with women.
Matsumoto has said before how the younger generation isn't as interested in sex and he literally cannot comprehend their motivation.

>>49495390
damn I hope Downtown channel will be a success and Matsumoto will never do a press conference or if he does, just to shit on the table and throw it to the journalists

>>49498266
The reception is different between Sono and Matsumoto. Many people are saying they don’t want Sono to make films anymore. Many people are saying they can’t wait for Downtown Channel.

>>49497707
>they didn't send she extra points and invites this time?
Seems so. They tend to send messages to notify us about the bonuses, but they didn't this year.

its easier to use that to get a song that matches the theme of whats being shown. takes too much time to find then make sure its copyright-free then find out it isn't so gotta spend more time looking. and most people don't care.

Lmao the news of people causing accidents from driving in the opposite lane and people crashing into buildings has become a daily occurrence over there at this point.

>>49500308
But Japan has the best and safest drivers in the world

>>49500369
Like this guy said >>49500358 there's been lots of accidents, especially this year. Granted some of them are by foreigners, like the DUI Chinese who hit kids and ran away and the Peruvian guy who was dangerously driving the wrong way, hitting two cars and running away.

>>49487144 (OP)
I watched Rashomon for the first time. It was good, not great.

The more stuff I watch from Takeshi and Matsumoto the more unlikeable they become. They were pretty good in what they did in their day and somehow they are now considered geniuses even though they currently just abuse their seniority to enforce their position without creating anything of actual value, entertainment or otherwise.

>>49500584
I rewatched Rashomon 3 years ago and I've been reflecting a lot on it, thinking it's pretty much far greater than I thought when I watched it for the first time nearly 2 decades ago. I guess watching more movies made me really appreciate it. The innovative storytelling inspired global directors like Spielberg & Lucas and it was so groundbreaking that it spawned its own narrative device (the Rashomon Effect) where contradictory interpretations of the same event are presented.

>>49500584
Now watch Ran

i'm finishing zatoichi this summer. #13 was pretty cool, but theyre all the same essentially. i liked the Biwa playing monk as a peaceful alternate zatoichi, berating him about killing. simple movies, but still very cool and fun for what they are. no gambling scene this time!

>>49500773
>I guess watching more movies made me really appreciate it.
sometimes a movie needs repeat viewing to grow on you and obviously as you said as you watch more movies AND as one gets older, you find new stuff that is interesting and deep about it.

>>49504042
I watched them all and my favorite is the second entry The Tale of Zatoichi Continues. Less introspective than the first but replaces that with more action and all the elements that would made the series work in the future entries.

>>49504451
yeah, i like the fun ones more as well. it's just cooler

Is there any good airing Romance drama?

>>49507480
See>>49489273

I remember watching a Japanese police/detective TV show from I think the mid to late 00's but all I can recall is that the opening was this live action stop motion type of thing (it had a moment where some kind of Japanese SWAT equivalent busting down a door or something) and I found out about it through an IKOZU edit (if you remember those). I know this is some niche shit and little to go on, but maybe someone knows what the fuck I'm talking about and call tell me what show it is I'm trying to remember.

This is what Takeshi said today:

Where/how do you guys watch stuff anymore?
All the sites in OP's FAQ are dead, and I can't find any other good site for the life of me.
What few that still exist are completely subsumed by Korean and Chinese shows, with few to no Japanese shows, and certainly none of the older ones.

You would think there's enough interest in JP media to make this easy, but I fuckin' guess not.

Can't wait. The best kinds of tv dramas are the ones that, despite the growing trend away from tv dramas, attract people who don't normally watch tv dramas, generate frenzy in SNS and push people to theorize and discuss, like this drama and Anaban.

She once said she wanted to get married in her 20s, but she didn't. She's the kinda woman who's too independent. She also lives with a dog and 6 cats and sorta animal activist, maybe that has got something to do with it.

>>49550924
thanks to all the compliance stuff its gonna be hard to come close. even god tongue (goddotan) is held back by compliance (but they get close). you might find stuff on stream-only (like the ariyoshi assists show). too many old people watch broadcast tv so all he compliance stuff is because of them.

Anyone have any tips on how to find kabuki play vids? Subbed or not doesn't matter.

I feel like dramas between the 90s and 2010s had a bigger emotional impact on the viewers. Even if it was a humor drama, the story touched you deeper than recent jdramas. I feel they were more genuine. Nowadays jdramas are usually more serious, they try to show emotions even harder than before and yet they don’t reach that level. They feel superficial.

>>49564204
I barely can think of any good drama pre 2010s

>>49564204
We keep telling you guys, dramas aren't allowed to show anything on tv anymore. There's so much red tape and censorship that something as mid as Vivant get hyped up now. That superficial feeling can't be helped since the writers have very little to work with. The BPO, compliance culture, and overall globalization of Japan is killing its own industries.

>>49564204
Art is shaped by the era it exists in. Subtlety and honesty have now completely died and all the good actors either passed away or retired. New actors are completely talentless and off-putting, they are practically celebrities as an occupation instead of becoming famous through their abilities or charisma.I'd go much older than your range of 90s-10s range but I guess it's a matter of taste. As a personal extra I feel that film added a lot of character compared to the sterile HD we get today + a lot of drama is completely creatively bankrupt. The moment I see that a drama is bringing up stuff like SNS, apps etc where it isn't needed, I know it has nothing to offer and is housewife tier. I also think that either the beauty standards in japan have completely shifted or a new wave of nepotism is hitting the industry VERY hard, barring the actors being talentless and uncharismatic like I previously said they are in their crushing majority alarmingly hideous, in older drama men were at the very least presentable and the women ranging from cute to drop dead gorgeous.

Even some old goodies from 90s and 00s.

>>49568242
Why use a worse service than a pirate one which would be free?

>>49568242
You can cancel all your subs, buy the cheapest seedbox offer for a month to get an invite on AvistaZ, then cancel that and have all the dorama you want for (almost) free

>>49568608
Stealing is no good

I don't want to make a request but it's a 1 damn year since I watched japanese iptv channels (Tokyo MX, NHK E, Kids Station, Animax, AT-X etc) because now I cannot find any streams of these channels on GitHub IPTV nor the IPTV-ORG so I came here ask you anons for help where I can find some streams (no matter are they public or unlisted or even private) of these channels that still work, work good and are have still not been takes down
Pls help, I really miss watching Seed Destiny on Animax

>>49571263
>Seed Destiny
Isn't that whole thing still on Netflix? I would give you my free IPTV source I've now been using for 5 years without complaint, but last month they changed their email format so I'm scared they're about to cut me off, and I don't want to rock the boat.

as long as it’s not isekai slop

most of the time you guys dont even talk about jdramas

>>49573969
These sorts of threads aren't really suited for it anyway. You could write a well thought out 3 paragraph essay on why you thought the show you just watched was good and maybe 7 hours later you'll get two comments saying "I like the soundtrack but the ending was meh" and "I want to sniff the lead actress' feet"

>>49573969
>>49574025
First time I come to this general I was surprised how nobody was talking about any drama airing. I was expecting something like /a/ but for dramas kek

*came

>>49574060
Kdramas are more popular and get subs making it easy to get into.

Any recommendations for something similar to picrel? Is the 2003 version of Kimi wa petto any good?

>>49574157
Similar in what way

>>49573969
I'm watching Dear My Baby and Madder right now. Then, I KILL after.
Next season, I will be watching a rom-com.

>>49573969
We do when there's a very interesting drama AND more than one person is watching it
>>49574060
> I was expecting something like /a/ but for dramas
We were kind of like this years ago, but current dramas suck ass so no one is watching. I miss the Anaban, Hanzawa Naoki S2 and Shinhannin Flag days when we used to discuss and theorize.

Love Generation (1997)
GOOD LUCK!! (2003)

>>49574597
>I KILL
It's a crime no one is subbing this drama.

>>49574980
WOWOW shows are slowly being licensed to Netflix.

>>49574998
Do new ones take long to be added to Netflix?

>>49574060
>I was expecting something like /a/ but for dramas
And that's what you got, nobody talks about anime on /a/.

I'm glad Erika Karata is back in movies

>>49577267
She's in 7 new works (dramas and movies) this year alone.

Takeshi vs. Tokoro

>>49577322
Sounds like a kino drama but it's about a Chinese figure

>>49579527
Explanation?

>>49579536
That assless refrigerator twerks for her daddy on fathers day

>>49579538
Not sure if wholesome or weird.

>>49579527
The asadora Omusubi taught me that gyarus who cherish familial bonds are gems.

>>49563832
speaking of viki, is there any other service that provides live comments?

is kanna hashimoto still hot in 2025?

>>49580063
yes

Are there anywhere the subtitles of "New York Koi Monogatari" dorama? I can't find them :(

>>49580063
nope

>>49579527
fatherless behavior?

>>49583298
thats the "dance" she does for her dad on fathers day. too much influenced by tiktok.

>>49584321
exactly, her father was too busy at work so tiktok raised her instead.

>>49584321
Her father looks like a yakuza member

being a jdrama fan now is like being an anime fan in the 90s when subs were not instant

>>49587728
>now
it's been like that since.. forever?

>>49587779
Now I'm looking forward to seeing them on tomorrow's Ravitto

I really hate this fake bitch

WE LOVE ANO
WE LOVE ANO
WE LOVE ANO

>>49588037
Explanation?

>>49587779
Really stupid decision.

>>49588666
korekore pointed out on his stream that ano was wearing an expensive necklace when she seems more like the type that would wear an anpanman one
retarded ano simp posts a lie that korekore said he was shocked that she would wear luxury jewelry and makes an appeal for sympathy by saying it was a gift from a fan and she's just showing her appreciation boohoo
ano then quote retweets this attack saying I don't know why korekore is saying he's shocked it was a gift from a fan I always use stuff from my fans blah blah blah
then she quietly deleted the post after people pointed out it was all a lie

>>49588037
>First Shokotan
>Now Anochan
Why are virgins cyberbullying joshi tarentos this week?

For a moment I thought I was on /alt/ lol

Did you start watching dramas in 2025? Drama subs were never released instantly, not even the ones with the 25-30 minutes runtime.

Where is Golden Kamuy 3?

>>49580063
yeah

>>49588754
2 was just released. And Yamazaki has fuckloads of other projects so you'll have to wait a couple of years.

>>49588804
Damn, too bad then. The show was so well-made.

>>49588690
whí does ano have fans? it's utterly confusing

>>49577582
Name of the twink laughing at them? I've seen him somewhere but I can't recall where

Watching all these 2000s celebs looking so old now makes me depressed

whos watching?

im rewatching Quartet

>>49591758
Who is the target audience for this drama?

>>49591928
me

Imagine the seething if Downtown would show up for the last episode of DX, can't wait.

>>49592154
Too bad it will never happen. Even when the audience of the show want it to happen, they will have to bend the knee for the twitter rage merchants and not bring back Macchan.

>>49591758
Nice premise. I might watch it.

this never got subs

>>49592806
but it does have

>>49593084
where?

Kotoge (49) finally got married
https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2391651/full/

>>49593431
good for him, wonder what his stalker thinks of this

>>49593431
I hope he picked a woman that isn't as fucked up as his ex.

TOKIO member and tv tarento and MC Kokubun Taichi dropped from his long-running tv show by NTV over multiple compliance issues in the past

>Johnny's talent
>Scandal
Pick two.

>>49593698
so when that manga author killed herself they refused to say anything but now they're ready to do a press conference right away?
must be the aftershock from fuji tv

>>49593698
>They are refraining from disclosing what he did
What's the point of holding a press conference, then?

>>49593708
He's actually one of the cleanest janiizu in history. This is his first scandal in his several decades long career.

>>49592194
The complainers can get fucked, the show is ending either way

>>49593698
Did nothing wrong

>>49593698
I can fix him!!

>>49593431
I think I've seen this guy in jav.

>>49593698
It’s probably something he thought was resolved and is behind him, only to bite him in the ass years later. Many such cases in the showbiz lately.

Rumors and speculations are saying it "might" be sexual harassment. The degree is also speculated as either he forced the staff to send him pics that might be considered problematic or he sent them pics of his lower half naked

https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2025/06/21/kiji/20250621s000413H1004000c.html

>>49598048
I read that he sent explicit videos via LINE to the production staff of his show and also demanded that they send explicit images to him and that it wasn't just once or twice, but multiple times.

>>49598048
>>49598190
This is why NTV's president refrained from giving explanations in that shitty excuse of a press conference and why Kokubun stepped down from all of his jobs and went into hiding.

>>49598048
I won't believe it until I see the evidence.

where can i watch DayDay番組 and not the ナゼ？ナゼ？ bit
