Confession: I only watch movies or dramas that have a Letterboxd page, so I can mark that I watched them.

>>49601618
Mental illness.

Go back

Creepy or am I...? "...or am I being too sensitive" contains spoilers Everything was going well, I was loving the countryside vibe,the cinematography, the sound of the crackling fire, the slow homey vibes, issues of Alice's burn-out.The food cooked over the irori, I was even loving the comfy vibe of the old house.

By episode 6 the age-gap romance tag becomes evident. Our dear Alice's love interest is a 16 year old High School student. Of course, I thought reasonable Alice would put a stop to this and tell Harumi to go to school. Alice's love rival is another teenage girl. sigh

By E9 , they're are betrothed with a serious promise to be together once ML is an adult. He's doing boyfriend things with her. They tried to make it subtle with no actual kisses, or open intimacy. But it still got me thinking....?

The show dances around overt intimacy—no kisses, or they stop them just before—but there’s enough subtext to leave no doubt about the emotional framing. Does lack of kisses make it okay?

If you’ve spent time with J-doramas or anime, you’ve probably seen these inappropriate age-gap dynamics dressed in the language of purity. It's not new. Shows like Chugakusei Nikki (2018) or Love & Fortune (2018) (Koi no Tsuki) stir passionate debate for the same reason—they present morally grey territory as romantic longing.

Is there still space in today’s world to portray these kinds of age-gap relationships? Should there be? At what point does "pure and innocent love" become a cover for something far less comfortable?

>>49601912
I sure hope this is a review from reddit or some other place.

>>49601457 (OP)
Is there anywhere I can watch high quality, full length kabuki plays/dances?

>>49601912
It's not that I didn't enjoy the drama, but it's just a surface-level work that doesn't delve into the main relationship at the level I would expect from something with its premise. That said, it's still nice.

>>49602554
By the way the right one doesn't like bath.

If the the LDP aren't voted out next month after the disaster that was the last 4 years, nothing they'll ever do will make them lose, no matter how brazenly bad or even illegal it is.

>>49601912
Cherry boy-kun is better older female romance.

anything like viki with live comments?

>>49604591
Niconico

>>49603125
The opposition parties fumbled hard after the lower house elections, failing to capitalize on the LDP’s unpopularity. It will either be the people voting for the LDP or not voting at all.

>>49602666
Many tarentos and idols declare they don’t like to take a bath lately.

>>49601468
Those flat faces. Why do Japanese think of themselves as closer to whites again?

>>49606518
The word is talent not 'tarento'

>>49606662
タレントは十分でしょう。

any recommendations similar to shows like trick, IWGP, quiz, or gift ?

Haven't read/watched anything of Liar Game; do you guys have any particular recommendations or do I just go in release order?

Where to watch undubbed Takeshi’s Castle?

>>49617067
It has + it’s not infested with Southeast Asian ironic weebs who give 10/10s to unwatchable shit featuring their twink gay idols.

No they do not, half the dramas I watch are not even there.

She's naturally cute.

>>49621142
Aside from last year’s champ Takeru (who’s the last person I’d think would show up on Suiyoubi), everyone else were easy to figure out.

>>49628992
thousand year beauty

>>49628992
eww, she keeps looking worse

Hamabechan won.

what's with drama-otaku 's gatekeeping? needing a social media also sucks

>Downtown DX ended without even Hamachan showing up

>>49629393
It was a shitshow. Who the fuck gonna enjoy such a retarded ending to a show that had been running for over three decades? Definitely no fan of the show would.

>>49628992
>>49629093
cute

nagase posting motorcycles on his insta like nothing happened is so funny
just like kimutak posted himself walking his dogs

>>49629393
Wish I could hear what him and Macchan think about it. It was bizarre.

>>49630370
Why do they care, everyone betrayed them.

I'll come out and say it: there are a lot of porn actresses that can act and they should get hired for films and dramas because they're easy on the eyes and if need be they'll even show some nudity.

>>49630343
Not the same. Nagase left the company years ago and he’s more or less semi-retired.

>>49631117
Name one.

>>49632216
Suzu Honjo

>>49632216

I'm sad she won't be doing indie kinos like this now that she's an asadora heroine.

>>49637968

>>49639275

Too niche an actress to make it big.

>Beat Takeshi: What should you be careful about when buying real estate in Japan?
Chinese owners.

>>49639480
She's better than the other one though.

Ok, it took me some time but I have seen the light. Hamabe Minami is so darn cute. Face of Japan contender.

>>49644383
What was it that finally converted you?

>>49646742

A bit gay of you desu but no harm I suppose

It's not his first, nor even second, rodeo. Plus, it's pretty much a given that all celebrities are scum and all male celebrities are serial philanderers. I wouldn't be surprised if one day Kimutaku was revealed to have a second family or something

Oh nah.

At least there's Alice and Tsubasa.

>>49649447

Beat Takeshi was fooled by a fake AI ad money scam targeting the elderly.
What's funny is, he (or rather his AI) is in an AC Japan CM that warns people about AI scams

>>49681490
Takeshi is old. No matter how intelligent you are, cognitive abilities often decline with age. Add poor sight to it, it would be understandable.

Miike Takashi's new anime is his wackiest directorial work since "The Mole Song". Don't know if it could work as a live-action film, but would love to see him adapt it to one.

You can torrent it from YTS, just google it.

One thing I love about the YATTERMAN film is the brilliant gag where the seiyuus from the original anime intermingle with their live-action counterparts, who are just stupefied by the exchange. It's not only so Miike, but completely within YATTERMAN'S fourth-wall breaking tone. Also Fukakyon as Aichan is pure sex

I will always be baffled that women were never reintroduced into kabuki, but seeing the current state of women I guess it was a good thing.

>“She may never land another lead role,” the industry buzzes. The movie in which Koki starred as the heroine was a huge flop, putting ‘Koki’ in crisis. “It's because Kudo Shizuka was so obsessed with micromanaging her.”

>Despite the extensive publicity (appearing on tons of variety shows), it seems to have been in vain. The movie starring Koki (22), the second daughter of Kimura Takuya (52) and Kudo Shizuka (55), has been a box office flop. The impact on her future has already begun to be felt.

She looks like a man and can't act for shit

>>49702971
People just don't like the obvious nepotism.

>>49702971
She should quit the acting business and become a tarento. She has a knack for doing variety shows.

I watched Love Letter because people were gushing about it but it was just an ok movie. Could have done much more with the setting and the characters weren't developed at all. Didn't hate it but no way you can think this is in any way memorable at all.

>>49701301
Thanks

I'm on s02x8 of Furuhata Ninzaburo. They really flanderized Imaizumi into a drooling retard. The dude's a liability and seems to have a severe developmental disorder now. How is this idiot even allowed to be on the force, much less Furuhata be willing to put up with him? What happened to that competent guy from the bomb episode?

>>49705544
>competent guy
He was always a retard, the degree just changed: from a functioning one to a drooling one.
I can't remember any "not -an-idiot" moment
I still have the specials and finals to watch

>>49705544
He was always comedy relief, that's the fate of these kinds of characters.

>>49705615
>He was always a retard
He's a competent Go player in the first season and isn't complete deadweight in the first few episodes. Now he's like a retarded child.

Stick to modelling. Her look is more popular with girls

I started The Hot Spot with that one actress from Unnatural. First episode was funny. Anyone seen it?
