I've been starting to step away from too many subscription services since it's annoying to see content go away when you were planning to come back to it. But Viki seems very intriguing especially since I'm trying to learn Japanese so English and Japanese subtitles are v valuable. I just want to know people's experience with seeing shows rotate out quickly or not like they seem to do on other regular services (Netflix, Hulu, Prime). Thanks!!

So my top 3 are: Give it all 1998 Maborosi 1995 Nobody knows 2004

I also watched: Our little sister BU • SU It’s only talk Monster No more easy life Haru

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi! Sorry for bothering, I'm trying to find this movie/show (I'm not sure) called Corporate Office Lady Chie Maru Diary (Letterboxd) with english/spanish subtitles, hope someone could help me.

Hi all. I just found this subreddit — please delete if not allowed.

But I'm in search of two Japanese films, that my dad once watched on an airplane media server and loved. I haven't had much luck tracking them down. I would be very grateful for any help!

1. Fortuna's Eye/フォルトゥナの瞳 (2019) dir. Takahiro Miki

2. Lost and Found/星ガ丘ワンダーランド (2016) dir. Show Yanagisawa

here’s the Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MW_(film)

plz help me find it

This is a strange request, but I was watching a Japanese police/crime drama, 60,s era, B&W. In a few scenes, the background showed a factory smokestack, with a knot formed into the stack. (Tokyo or some industrial city). I thought it was a great art piece, but have always been curious about it's story. Can't seem to find any reference to it in the interwebs. Can anyone help? Stack or film.

So I've been trying to find this movie (following in the image) I have searched the ends of internet, to the ilegal means and legal means (netflix, amazon, etc) But I'm not finding it can a wonderful soul help me? This movie does exist, It haves the IMDB score and on Letterbox 4 people already had watched it .

Is this some skill issue of mine to find it? Can someone help? :)

Hi everyone 👋 I’m trying to find an old Japanese movie, 60s/70s maybe??? The only thing I remember from it was that there were tins of pineapple dated may 5th. If anyone has any clues at all it’d be really appreciated! The soundtrack was amazing! Thankyou in advance!

spoilers

!the ending of the movie is a plot twist kind of when nakajima realises he should tell suzuko about how he was lending money to stop her from leaving, basically whats making me confused was if this actually happened or not. (sorry im a little slow). so nakajima catches up to suzuko and they make eye contact but then suzuko whispers 'no way he will he come'. so does this mean it never happened? the thing about the lending money?? or like did it happen... im so confused!!<

As the title suggests, I have been searching for a month to find where and how I can watch this movie. I have tried searching in both Japanese and English, but to no avail.

PLEASE HELP

Who's the shrine in Kyoshi's house for? The one where his father kneels down in front to say thank you for the gyoza that he brought home.

It's in ep.1, around min. 10ish

i don't expect it to be exactly the same, i just ask for similar plots-vibes)??

I have been looking online for hours and I cannot find anywhere to watch this movie would love some help!

A picture that I made in photoshop

What are some of the other films in this weirdly specific subset? Movies like

• The Little Girl Who Conquered Time • Reiko the Psyche Resurrected • The Messiah From the Future • Super Girl Maria • August in the Water • The Dimension Travelers • School in the Crosshairs • N-Girls vs Vampire • Eko Eko Azarak series

I’ve only seen a handful of the ones listed because very few got English subtitled releases. I know The Girl Who Conquered Time and School in the Crosshairs got a UK Blu-ray release a few years ago. And The Dimension Travelers and the Eko Eko Azarak movies got DVD releases back in the jhorror boom. Are there any others?

And does this have a name?

I’m not even sure it’s the right sub for this type of question but i just learned there is a book for this movie and I’m looking all over the internet but i can’t find it

I know—hyper specific! However, I have fallen in love with work by SABU and Takeshi Kitano. Both have this quietly comforting, yet absurd atmosphere to them while also being hilarious! I can’t get enough! Some of my favorite films are:

1. Postman Blues
2. Monday
3. Hana-Bi
4. Sonatine
5. Kikujiro

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I’ve kinda been on a bulk run for mainly all female cast movies err series, it’s not that I’m weird or anything (maybe I am), but I’m so tired of romantic stuff lol, something refreshing and youthful is good!

I really would appreciate some more movie recommendations or series recommendations surrounding female casts or mostly all female casts, I’ve seen stuff like School Live! (Live action), Saki (Live Action), Asahinagu (Live Action), Toshimaen Haunted Park 🤷, ALL Bloody Chainsaw Girl movies lol, Kamikaze girls, Wasteful days of high school girl’s (Live Action), Ring of Curse 🤷🤷, yada yada, so, if you’ve got some to spit, I’d appreciate it!

I hope someone can kindly help me? I'm seeking the title of a Japanese movie I saw on the UK streaming service MUBI around 5 years ago. I no longer have access to the account and so can't look at my watch history.

In the movie set in modern times, a young boy from a relatively poor house enjoys drawing pictures of I think fish. His dad leaves very early when it's dark to go to work each day, and smokes cigarettes at the kitchen table. The boy decides to play truant from school to go into town to find his dad. I think there's a lot of snow around and he possibly takes a train. His dad works in a fish market I believe. The boy walks through supermarkets etc trying to remember where to go I can't recall what else happens.

If anyone has any clue, I'd be most grateful 🙏
