Still better acting than anything on netflix

>>230424 #
netflix is so bad it's good sometimes. Anons should watch blue eye samurai some time.

>>230426 #
No. The amount of times some white people have black daughter or something is wild. Is she adopted? Is the guy a cuck? A previous relationship? A good shitlib is just polite no matter what.

>>230426 #
>blue eye samurai
I despise the artstyle but maybe

>>230427 #
Anon blue eye samurai is the cartoon about the hapa boygirl subjugating japan.

>>230424 #
ironically netflix was the best place to watch all these movies back in the dvd era if you weren't buying

If anons want to watch netflix slop then the animated lord of the rings girlboss movie from a few years ago is an option.

>>230434 #
Never heard of it.

>>230434 #
>animated lord of the rings girlboss movie
If it's just a movie then maybe it could be worth a raugh

Asian rituals have always seemed to me like everyone involved knows it's ridiculous, but they do it anyway for social harmony.

>>230437 #
Music Theory clearly hadn't been invented yet but I like the instruments
The Tenchu 3 soundtrack did it best by incorporating Chinese instrumentation, as well as electric guitars

>>230439 #
Frankly I've always just assumed asians have different 'ears' than us.
>>230438 #
I don't know, people do a lot of ridiculous things and never see them that way.

Their hats are stupid and silly.

Explains why he looks gay, he's a looksmaxxer that listens to Ando Tato-sensei.

Beach reminds me there is a Musashi trilogy

>>230443 #
What else was there to spend money on?

I actually know some of the history but it's still dry as fuck. People like the sengoku era because no one pretended the emperor or the shogun was really in charge. The kamamura period is boring, it's all pretend wars in an extended royal family.

>>230448 #
Have you seen the Shogun Assasin series from the 70's?
I want to watch that too but we should definitely do Hidden Fortress next if gucas agree
>>230453 #
It was re-made into a movie by that name in the 90's but the original thing was apparently one of the first adaptations of a manga and went for 6 seperate films... it was called uhhhh Lone wolf and the Cub or something
>>230457 #
They really only have a handfull of phenotypes

An entire country of men in dresses .... I"m sorry "robes".
>but japan
>soyjacks uncontrollably

>>230450 #
No.

>>230450 #
It was a series? I wrote down some movies a few days ago and saw that. I forget names nowadays

>>230450 #
Oops I misread.

They all act autistic even by japanese standards.

I have no idea what's going on, I haven't been reading.

>>230457 #
Really? Is it just old style filmmaking?

Were her teeth blacked?

>>230460 #
I always thought it was on purpose

>>230461 #
Yes it was a tradition among married waifus
Some kind of witches brew of metal or something I forget

Writing is the first screen people focused on. Wordcels will never admit it. Reading is just a slower form of doomscrolling.

>>230450 #
>uhhhh Lone wolf and the Cub
oh yeah, never read but I was going to try at least one to see if it is as silly as it sounds

>>230465 #
Very hot take.
>>230466 #
If anons like reeeeding we can do it after Hidden Fortress, and maybe Seven Samurai, since that was still this same era

>13th century simping
>but japanese

>>230472 #
It's a lot higher quality of simp drama than whatever gay shit is on tv now
admit it!

>>230473 #
>lot higher quality of simp drama
the last couple of western period pieces I've seen were the same way
but knowing the language makes it too easy to pick to pieces

Kesa isn't even that hot.

>>230475 #
>knowing the language makes it too easy to pick to pieces
it should at least be mildy interesting for you then
>>230477 #
Foxus are not to be fiddled with!

>>230477 #
Oh I missed the name.

>>230478 #
No I meant English shows.

How do they sit with their legs bent like that. My legs would fall asleep.

>>230482 #
stretch moar
it's comfy

>>230482 #
women do that all over the world. the guys, idk how long you can do it but it's not that bad. Also some professions did it, like tailors being the name of sitting

I'm going to sleep. Want to do gucawerk early and this is an honorary slowanon movie.
>>230482 #
I don't have any problems sitting cross legged.

>>230487 #
Not cross legged.

>>230488 #
No habla ching hcing

This sounds way to good here for... well nvm I don't know

It's ironically over dramatized for this to be the plot because I'm pretty sure marriage was very informal at the time

Needs more slapchop, less women.

>>230493 #
Across the board? Or just some levels of society

>>230495 #
I could be wrong but I don't think marriage actually existed as a social concept at the time in Nipland
Monogamy obviously existed but it wouldn't have been this dramatic, ie: most foids would probably ditch a rice farmer for a Samurai

sad looking horses

their hair is anti-streamlined

They both put on their huge fancy sword sheathes for the race

>rudely interrupted by a drunk facetime call
did I miss any good reeding?

I will say it's interesting how the swords were worn concave side up back when they were more curved tachi, and then switched once the blades were less curved

I don't know why but the wheezy music at 59 minutes reminds me of something....

this part strikes me as more of a woman's fantasy

>woman sets the table
>even when it was the floor
can't believe we lost the technology for this and literally can't go back

properly suspenseful

I know their pillows are different but damn, just a block of wood. Seems way too big.
Oh, wait, maybe their heads are flatter on the back
>>230522 #
you mean irl?

>>230521 #
Just wait till you see the modern toilets

>>230521 #
Yes, Japan invented the smart toilet

>>230376 #
timer

>>230523 #
Sounds like a japanology episode

jeez

Yeah kinda dark

If he doesnt commit sudoku I will be disappoint

If she fainted after a book saved her or something or those beads
guessing no

praise not a woman until burnt

>he put his sword back on
uh oh...

It was well made and I don't mind drama but well I was hoping for more than just drama
I looked up the original story and yeah I guess that's it.

I tried to not suggest any more shakespeare copies. I missed Throne of Blood night and haven't watched it yet (again)

Some of them try to be too BIG and I enjoy them less, though some pull it off. I just don't remember titles or stories well without seeing visuals.

>>230540 #
The last two were considered very impressive by the film standards at the time
To me that one was almost like a Romeo and Juliet spinoff or something
Throne of Blood was better than both IMO and that was the same director from Hidden Fortress so I think we should watch that next if anyone else is even enjoying these
>I missed Throne of Blood night and haven't watched it yet
It was definitely more atmospheric and whimsical, I've considered re-watching it with the film fag commentary track just because what I glimpsed seemed very interesting, like how they used real arrows and nearly killed several actors probably
