  • When it comes to Japanese entertainment the majority of “Foreigner friendly” shows are Anime. But if that is not your cup of tea you have a few good game shows:

    • KASSO: Wipeout! but with skateboards, Has alot of western skaters too
    • EXIT!: Think of the SAW movies but with celebrities, Its really entertaining to watch them speed run death traps.
    • Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! (Comedians doing challenges and pulling pranks on eachother) When it comes to gameshows the Japanese are leagues ahead of the west, Ive seen some batshit insane stuff come from these game shows.

    If you are into overly absurt gore(Non Anime):

    • Grotesque: Literal torture porn
    • Tokyo gore police: This is just so insanely over the top

    Good movies that arent gore(Non Anime):

    • Survive Style +5: Absolute cult classic very trippy movie, guy mentally turns into a pidgeon in the movie too very funny
    • Ichi the Killer: A yakuza enforce and a wanna be hero fight, it has gore but in moderation, is a cult classic the guy who played the yakuza enforcer is a legend
    • Fukushima Daiichi: A realistic movie replaying the events of the fukushima disaster, With the same actor that plays in Tokyo vice: This honestly is an amazing film as well, really takes you into the hopelessness of an natural disaster, Its the HBO Chernobyl of Japan basically

    Must watch TV shows:

    • Tokyo vice: A western journalist moves to japan to work for the top news paper in japan but gets tied up with the yakuza Honestly this has to be one of the best tv shows i have watched in a while, it is so well put together you have some good actors too like the guy from Fukuchima Daiichi movie. Really takes you into both worlds, The police, Yakuza and Sallary man
    • Giri/Haji(Brittish show): But also has alot of scenes in Japan: Tokyo detective, travels to London in search of his brother, Yuto (Yōsuke Kubozuka), who was previously assumed to be dead. Yuto has been accused of murdering the nephew of a Yakuza member, which threatens to start a gang war in Tokyo

    I could give you so many more good examples but i think such a wall of text would bore you and im not sure if this kind of stuff is your cup of tea 😅 But i hope this gives you some interesting material to look at c:















  • Interesting post :) Yesterday although not really a movie i introduced a friend of mine to Thunderbolt ill sent him this post see if he wants to share his thoughts.

    Watching it the second time was really good it was more clear how dark that show really is when watching it a second time, I loved it, Next gundam show i am gonna watch with my friend is Iron blooded orphans and The witch of mercury.

    When it comes to movies i watched Terrifier 3 this weekend with my best mate. And i am a bit divided by that movie, sure it had its shock moments which i enjoyed since im a sucker for those, But the overal story was not as exciting as the first one and please don’t get started on the second one that story was awful.

    The third installment of the series was alright for a slasher film but i wouln’d watch it for the story but honestly, Were the terrifier series ever about the story ;)

    Technically still in the week i watched the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare, I loved this movie was alot like inglorious bastards but with a little bit more humor in it. Characters were great and i enjoyed the movie. That was my week :D
