The thing I love the most of Banana Fish is that it's fandom is in the credits of "Mr. Loverman" because if it wasn't for the Banana Fish fandom the song wouldn't be that popular
Banana Fish honestly helped SO MUCH with the homophobia inside the anime/manga community, at least in the groups I've been inserted. I say this bc I personally saw some people change their minds about gay relationships after watching it, literally saw homophobes bawling their eyes out
Just goes to show that it’s a concept that’s drilled into people rather than a hatred they’re born with. I’m happy people can consume media like this and grow as a person and challenge their own ideals :)
@bread_cat7878 i mean if we're being technical people are born ignorant and learn things later so in a sense they *are* born with it and what they learn and experience later either reinforces or rejects that
Another thing is that this is probably the only anime with sooo many DIFFICULT THEMES & did not exaggerate or make fun of or brush off the topics. Many bl use them as troupes for tragic backstory many isekai does them for comedy & plot progression. But its the only show that has sincere way of dealing with those heavy themes. No metaphor is used. Non fantasy setting makes the emotions & stakes feel real
@@srenivasanks8792 I don't think it's so much it "pleases women," but more of a "calls women's attention" because or the oversaturation of testosterone charged works like JJK and One Punch Man
Banana Fish is one of those shows that when you finish it you just have to sit there and let it sink it. It’s so good. One of my all time favorite anime. Not-so-fun Fun Fact: Akimi Yoshida, the author, briefly considered changing the ending after River Phoenix (Ash’s main inspiration) died, as she worried it would seem insensitive. However, she decides against the change, as she had it planned since the beginning. An actual fun fact: the late Ryuichi Sakamoto owned the live-action film rights to Banana Fish, but to public knowledge production never started (likely due to River’s death).
Still upset that it doesn't have a dub. I mean I don't usually care for the dub but the setting is literally in nyc. It feels kinda weird when ash talks about eiji speaking broken english when they're all talking in japanese lmao.
the one anime that deserves a dub. but hey, it could be a blessing in disguise. the current english dub va scene has developed a lot compared to back then, let’s hope they pick it up and choose some good voices.
@@cookiesandpudding8485 cool idea ! like that would be so good . This has been a problem with not only banana fish but many Japanese animes . Like in monster Tenma is talking to a couple in German while actually Tennma is speaking Japanese in sub and then he switches to English as the couple only understood English but he is still speaking freaking Japanese in the sub . The couple who didn`t understand Tennma were apparently also speaking Japanese in the sub . The language barrier makes thing super awkward even for a good anime like Banana fish, Monster or other animes
I remember watching and finishing it a few years ago, and I can say no anime has ever made me feel the way banana fish did. I was ugly crying by the end. It’s one of the best I’ve ever watched.
Banana fish was absolutely one of the best I seen. Everyone should really watch it. It’s realistic and there’s a lot of topics that are dark in there as well. But, it’s an amazing anime and manga. Please go watch it guys!!! However, you could end up crying a lot and possibly being depressed. But eh. Don’t get spoilers
I watched/read Banana Fish and I no joke didn't want to eat or sleep for a week because of how much it distraught me lol. It is by far my favorite series and I've never been the same since lol. It's fictional yes but so much of it is grounded in reality and real life 80's New York. So much tragedy but it feels so raw at that same time
I have a love-hate relationship with this series because the story is so beautiful but I hated the ending so much. They deserved better. But I still understand why the ending had to be that way. My feelings are so torn.
I knew someone who was overly homophobic yet absolutely binge watched BF because of how amazing the show was. One thing about banana fish is literally how well crafted the story and the characters are. You feel restless watching it and will shock you to the core no matter what you think about the cast.
Honestly, I'm disappointed by the fact that it's not more popular! It's so good, and such an interesting and emotion filled story! And it helped me discover Survive Said the Prophet because of the first opening and second closing
Ah yes, the anime I refuse to rewatch because I like not being a puddle of tears for weeks, yet also the anime I always recommend to anyone who even hints at liking anime.
It's like Madoka Magica and the World God Only Knows all three almost completely broke the mold of they're genre I think all three are incredible Madoka Magica is in my top 10 and the other two are top 15 and top 20 respectively for me
Madoka Magica, followed by Yuuki Yuna, were the only ones I loved in grimdark MG, alot that followed after felt like the trends of Isekai of lesser qualities. I don't remember the last time I saw a new original typical MG for girls since... which makes me have super mix feelings. Madoka is great, no doubt, but the trend it made like MCU did to DC comics/movies/shows. It took away a fundmental thing people who loved those series for and their demographgic.
@@kyaksachan502 if you don't count the Sailor Moon remake or the Card captor Sakura sequel then true the closest one would probably be Flip Flappers but even that but the difference between magical girl and Isekai anime is that there's still quite a few good Isekai anime coming out like Konosuba, That time I got reincarnated as a slime, Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, re:zero and the most recent one Tskumichi Moonlit Fantasy just as a few examples of good Isekai that came out after the big Isekai boom that are good
The thing about banana fish is that at point it was just cycle ash gets kidnapped jp guys saves him Jp guys get kidnapped ash comes save him And yeah you would have some lore about the drug Even though the anime story was different and good 👍🏻
dude im so happy you’re talking about this show, finished it recently and it is one of my fave animes of all time. i could go on and on about it. storyline: incredible. the way that it deals with extremely dark issues: incredible. animation: incredible. characters: incredible. music: INCREDIBLE. i sobbed at the end. still not over everything that happened. hit so hard. if anyone is hesitating, don’t. be like me and take the plunge. you won’t regret it. one for the history books, that’s for sure.
Banana Fish is the kind of anime should be recommended to every person who underrates anime or thinks it just cartoon. And frankly speaking i wish more manga and animes would follow a similar style of respecting its environment and plot rather than making a mock of it .
It's more than that - unlike a lot of shows like Euphoria or 365 Days, Banana Fish ACTUALLY depicts drug use and mafia as harmful. This is probably my favourite show of all time despite the fact that I usually avoid media with dark content. In a world full of glamorised and oversexed mafia stories, this was a breath of fresh air. The mafia are the bad guy here, and they're all sick and twisted monsters, as are all the politicians. It really depicts the tragic reality of sex trafficking and the likes. The mafia isn't actually involved in the BL aspect either. The two guys are actually on the run from them.
@@iwasneverhere2303 Honestly that's actually a pretty good premise you gave me there, besides I don't even think the straight explicit romance won't work since one of our protagonist was a sexual abuse victim.
I also get this vibe from Madoka Magica! Although yes the art style is very stylized, I think I would NOT let my kids watch it even if it's a Shojou cause like it really does get very creepy and sad at moments
Banana fish is a show so well written. The character and the theme involved in the story are incredible. Ash, Yut-Lung et Arthur faced some similar trauma but act in opposition. The relation beteween the character are so much more than a blushing face and "oh they are in love". I looove banana fish
for awhile i couldn’t look at pumpkins becuz everytime i saw pumpkins i would cry, this show literally destroyed me and made my depression worse like 😭😭😭
The anime broke all our hearts for sure 😭😭. The story, the animation, even the music gosh. And then I read the manga because why not? My heart isn't gonna break twice, right? WRONG!! 💔💔
I loved banana fish. I want to get the manga to sit on my shelf, because it impacted me a lot. Typically in not the type to be able to binge anime, but I found myself wanting to watch episode after episode. Possible spoilers past this point. I only had issues with the drill scene because I don’t like the sound of the dentist’s drill… I found myself wanting them to have a successful life together, and maybe they would in another life. I do wish Ash had at least gotten to say goodbye, but I know the author said that he wasn’t able to because his karma caught up with him.
Not Togainu no chi!! I never thought I'd see that reference during daylight hours willingly on film! This is the reason why I'm subscribed to you. Keep doing your best!😊
Banana fish was so dope, and go early the gay romance totally surprised me. And I was like oh oh oh oh shit thier gay! XD Such a good show, need to check out the manga.
I started watching it a long time ago! I havent finished it but from what ive seen, its amazing. Ash's life is so goddamn depressing though. Its really a roller-coaster of emotions.
Im not ready to watch it 😭😭 i just saw the ending from my recommendations and got some context clues and im already broke, down on my knees. IM NOT READY FOR THIS SHOW 😭😭😭
Have you checked out Sign of Affection? It's about Yuki who was born deaf and her love story with the hearing Itsuomi. I just love how they show japanese sign language and some realities of being disabled wrapped into the most adorable fluff. Would love to see more disabled representation in manga and anime. Hope you take a look ❤
@@paperamigauwu it's not about genres, it's about correctly categorizing, and not fetishizing queer relationships. Just because a story has some sort of a romantic relationship doesn't mean that it's a romance and the story shouldn't be reduced to being a romance. Manga can have gay relationships WITHOUT being referred to as BL.
Ooomg!! I think I still habe my small collection somewhere. And eerie queeri, Ooooooo Fake. Fake was a good one you tell the artist loved in the U.S at some point.

And the cartoon network at the was taking a MASSIVE gamble. Like the company would've closed it's doors and Nickelodeon would've dominated.
Definitely do, it’s one of my all time favorites. But be warned: it WILL break you. It doesn’t matter how tough you think you are, you will be emotionally destroyed.
I just finished banana fish and i just started bawling when it ended. Any other anime or tv show ive watched just a tear or two out of me at most but banana fish just broke me. I wish i could see it for the first time again its that good
It's been maybe more than two years since I watched "Banana Fish", I binged watched it for two days and oh boy, I cried myself to sleep. I wanted to rewatch it, but if I can't enter the screen and beat the shi- out of some of its characters then I refuse to relive the pain.

Maybe because the people who watched it lost their ability to speak due to the trauma of the shojo 😭

Definitely do, it’s one of my all time favorites. But be warned: it WILL break you. It doesn’t matter how tough you think you are, you will be emotionally destroyed.
If you want to traumatized, go ahead
Also read up on trigger warnings it’s a very dark show
@@lilymoore-sx8pk I'm already so I got nothing to lose 👍
That’s what they all say
“You will not be disappointed”
You will however be severely depressed
You will not be disappointed but your eyes will be irritated
I just finished banana fish and i just started bawling when it ended. Any other anime or tv show ive watched just a tear or two out of me at most but banana fish just broke me. I wish i could see it for the first time again its that good
Never thought I'd ever see the day "Banana Fish" would get an anime. I was pleasantly surprised when it happened.
It's been maybe more than two years since I watched "Banana Fish", I binged watched it for two days and oh boy, I cried myself to sleep. I wanted to rewatch it, but if I can't enter the screen and beat the shi- out of some of its characters then I refuse to relive the pain.
I will never move on from banana fish
Banana fish almost made me cry just as much as boy meets Maria.
I JUST WATCHED THE ENDING 😭 (masterpiece)
Togainu no chi mentioned!
It’s my favorite anime of all time
never knew tears could even start coming out uncontrollably from just looking at a page :((((( looking right at you, that one specific page from the bonus chap :((((
I 100 percent agree with you and love the series sm but i will say setting togainu no chi and banana fish together is so funny to me. Godbless bl vns
Thanks, I'll rewatch it for the 5th time
i loved how it positioned the nihonjin fella as the odd one out, made us immediately love the main blonde for protecting him
This was on my to watch list before until I found out the ending 😢
Banana fish destroyed me
Manga/anime so good, that nobody knew that it was supposed to be shojo.
