Thank you! J-dramas from the 1990s are what got me into the drama world in the first place :)

Thanks! :)
Bayside Shakedown is definitely a huge thing in Japan. When they did a stage play back in 2003, they only played it continuously for three days but every show was packed with people :D
I wish that this series could be better recognized in the West.

I didn't know about the Gintama parody. Thanks for the info!
The original drama may seem a bit dated, but that's another reason why I love it so much. Smokes, tamagotchi, and Windows 98. The 90s feels are irreplacable.
The movies also have plenty of comedic moments which blend in pretty well with the serious stuff ;)

I couldn't agree more. Bayside Shakedown is extremely rewatchable. I come back to it regularly every year. Bitter Blood is great. Tokyo Dogs is a-okay. Like you said, there's not much reason to revisit the story after seeing it for the first time.

Thanks! Bayside Shakedown has a bit structured formula, but I don't think that it is repetitive. The series as a whole has a solid quality and a very good ending. I'm not sure if it started the job oriented dramas, but a lot of police dramas were given a greenlight right after its success.

Thanks a lot for reading! I hope that you will check out the drama :)

Hear, hear :)

Thanks!

I've been postponing Eat Drink Man Woman for a long time as well, but I loved it when I finally checked it out.

Thank you were much for such an insightful comment on China situation. Yeah, Ang Lee and Sihung Lung collab was awesome!

Thank you for reading! I hope you will enjoy checking them out.

If you liked the other movies, then you shouldn't be disappointed with Pushing Hands :)

It's a-okay for late Showa standards. Worth watching especially for Kumi Mizuno.

Thanks a lot for reading :) I'm glad to know that you got into Godzilla.

I very much liked KOTM as well. Feel free to check out my MDL article about Godzilla.

Second comment, but better late than never. I also love Brigitte Lin. She is a true icon who did so many wounderful movies.

*horrendous McConaughey impersonation*: I used to watch Godzilla fighting King Ghidorah before it was cool.

Thank you Reika for this article and a big Thank You to all fansubbers out there for their hard work!

A well made article. Great job!

Nice. Thanks for the list.
