Why can't the Japanese make good movies anymore? Since the end of the 80s their movies have been dull and boring, taking themselves way too seriously. What happened?

It's an iconic scene, and was recycled recently in Bubba Fat. What's your point? Show me where Ogami Itto touched you.
Bentley Murphy
Should I watch Shogun Assassin or the Lone Wolf and Cub series proper?
Justin Lopez
Lone Wolf and Cub series proper. IIRC it's all on HBO. Shogun Assassin is only worth watching if you saw it in theaters and want a nostalgia trip imo, the proper series has all the actual content and story.
Michael Harris
Thanks, gonna go watch it now
Juan Green
I would totally recommend watching the series. They're really good. Gets pretty whacky toward the end, but it never loses the plot. Shogun Assassin is cool, but why deprive yourself of the good shit of Itto slicing his way through countless enemies day in, day out?

The one thing that always did my noodle in with these movies, is that while he's larping around Japan as a tired badass, his banner states that both his child and his services are available. At the start of the first one there is a mad woman who mistakes his kid as hers, and her mother runs after her and asks him if they can rent his kids to calm her down. He nods. Now here's the thing though...
> Japan.
> Renting kids.
Umm. Yeah...
Lucas Ortiz
I think Itto would probably cut you in half if you rented Daigoro for a gangbanging session.
Hudson Carter
Hirokazu Koreeda Is good. Watch Nobody Knows.
Isaac Rogers
Well I would bloody well hope so.
Yes he is. He's great. Will do, thanks for the tip.
Carter Smith
That scene was kino
Tyler Ward
I really liked 12 assassins.
Jack Powell
But it was never even finished.
Jayden Garcia
Does anyone know where I can find the TV series? Not the 6 part movies, but the 3x26 episode 45min seasons 1973 to 1976?
Gabriel Cox
It's utterly brilliant.
Levi Diaz
After watching all 6 Lone Wolf and Cubs films, watching Shogun Assassin again, it wasn't good. I love the dialouge and voice over stuff. because of GZA's Liquid Swords album.
Easton Bennett
If you watch Neon Genesis Evangelion you will understand. The Japanese are dead already. As we will all be. Shinji will emancipate the world and only the inheritors will remain.
The perfect organisms, survivors: unclouded by conscience, remorse and delusions of morality.The end has been nigh for a long time now.
Jordan Sullivan
The Wu Tang Clan are shit though. Try-hard wannabe suburban kangs larping as kung fu fighters. GZA is a particular special breed of thieving cunt. The actually calls himself a "spiritual head". What a tosser. Shit Hop was a mistake.
Gabriel Kelly
bumping for interest
Levi Ortiz
Cool bro.
Bentley Perez
Can't speak for arthouse cinema because you either have a good generation of directors or you don't and that's what made people notice Korean cinema more than Japanese in recent years. I know more about genre movies. Japan made some of the best from the 50s until mid-60s then there was a near-collapse of the industry due to tv that lasted throughout the 70s and in the 80s although they made more movies with bigger budget now Hollywood blockbusters became the most popular. Now it's difficult to say but they make more movies than in 2000s that's for sure.

Infantalized culture, everything is about comics and capeshit and “manga”, all of which, and I do mean all of it, is literally meant for children. Grow the fuck up.
Asher Murphy
All dads are tired 100% of the time, you cannot not be tired, it’s literally impossible. Everything falls on you and everyone depends on you, literally 100% of the time, the woman included and inevitably all the extended family to an extent as they age. Being a man is being fucking tired.
