Otaku Review Image

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:22Yeahx12

I can’t help but laugh when I think about the live commentary from the time we kidnapped the old man along with the bed.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:23Yeahx2

>>1❤️
❤️
❤️

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:26Yeahx2

>>1Here comes the scene of cutting through the asphalt while racing through the darkness.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:30

>>1It’s on fire…!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:25

The entrance of the ED is perfect.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:26

>>3Is “Get Wild” the one that overseas fans say is unfair only with the Japanese dubbed version?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:26Yeahx6

There are scenes that occasionally make me shocked by the sense of ethics.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:28

>>6🐹️Chin!

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:29

>>9Do we need that scene?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:27

I love Pancho.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:29

It’s sprinkled with little jokes from Japanese manga and anime, and it quietly cracks me up.
I have a memory of things like Saint Seiya, Captain Tsubasa, and Ranma.
Also, Inspector Gadget is appearing more prominently than I expected.
Is it because that was a co-production with France?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:29Yeahx6

I can’t help but keep laughing at the people on the right that I don’t know.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:29

Is it a French film?
It’s nice that Black people can be present without any discomfort…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:31

What are you talking about? Pancho has been on TV all along, right?
Look… I don’t have any memories, but…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:32

It’s nice that Ryo hesitates to use the deactivation drug even though he has it in hand…

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:51

>>16This is really a good picture.
But if this is presented, there’s no way I can do it!!

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:51

>>16If this is presented from the start, I don’t feel like we can win…!

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:51

>>16This wild fan is crazy…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:34Yeahx11

Both this version and the Netflix version have an incredibly high level of reproduction of Makimura.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:35

I like the part where you reveal that you had sex with the sister of your colleague, the field leader, after being given a truth serum.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:35

The jacket of Shinjuku Private Eyes had the same pose.
There may have been the same pose earlier on.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:35

This is a big city in France – Shinjuku –

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:35

Sea monk is mamma.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:35Yeahx2

To be honest, I didn’t think that France would be such a good match until I actually saw it.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:37

Bringing the real Umibouzu and Saeko is a strength of France, isn’t it…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:37Yeahx7

I want them to make a second one by fooling Netflix.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:38

The Makimura siblings look so much alike that it’s scary.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:38Yeahx1

I never thought a day would come where I’d be this excited about Footsteps.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:39

It can be said that this is the greatest crisis for City Hunter, including the original work.
Due to issues with sexual preferences.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:41

>>27It’s amazing that when I showed the script to Tsukasa Hojo, he readily agreed.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:39

I love French City Hunter.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:39Yeahx1


The French version also properly aired an adaptation that matched the local anime.
French people got angry and said they prefer Get Wild!!

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:42

>>29I was subtly curious about the ending in the home country, but I see that’s how it was.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:39Yeahx9

Live-action adaptation of manga
Starring me, directed by me, written by me.
Distribution by Albatross
This is not even a gamble.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:40Yeahx3

🕊・─・─・─

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:40Yeahx1

Shinjuku in France is nice, isn’t it?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:41

I will definitely accept that scenario…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:41

It didn’t work out with the non-existent flashback scene…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:42Yeahx3

When I ordered ramen in France, it felt like they properly served a somewhat localized version of ramen.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:48

>>37Moreover, the store’s exterior uses Japanese, but all the owners and employees are locals, which gives off a strong red flag.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:42

The weakening of Ryo, who was sealed in the original work, was truly remarkable.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:43Yeahx4

Anime movies, this, and Takarazuka.
The overall level of completion was amazing.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:43Yeahx3

It feels like something good comes out of the fact that Yamachan, who has played countless small villains in anime, is doing the voice acting.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:46

>>40It’s nice that the main antagonist is in Shinjuku Private Eyes.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:43

I can understand why you would think, “What an interesting guy…” when you meet Professor Hojo.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:44Yeahx7

I initially thought that the Suzuki Ryohei version would be at a disadvantage after seeing this, but it turned out to be really good.
Both are good, aren’t they…?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:45

>>42When compared, the French version was more comedic, while the Suzuki Ryohei version was more serious.
I like both!

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:44

The level of understanding of City Hunter is too high.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:45

In terms of reproducing the original work in manga form, Takarazuka was the most amazing.
It seems like there aren’t many people watching in the first place.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:46

>>44I didn’t know it existed, but I can rent it on Amazon.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:45

I thought Akira Kamiya wasn’t here… but then I realized he was doing Mokkorin’s voice!

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:46

When Ryo-chan gets serious, she is surprisingly strong, and it was amazing how well that was portrayed.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:46

It seems that since getting older, Kamiyan-san has to adjust a lot to produce a convincing Ryo voice, so he probably left the sudden dubbing job to Yamachan.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:52

>>48They said they trained for about a year during Private Eyes, so it’s probably impossible all of a sudden…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:46

Mokkori-san is unfair.
That would make anyone laugh in an instant.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:46

The courage to pursue a scenario that may not have a second chance.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:47

Mokkori 💖

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:47Yeahx6

It’s a miracle that it completely coincided with the anime movie by pure chance.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:49Yeahx1

>>54The director is ecstatic as there are more fan arts created on the side.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50Yeahx2

>>62The sample illustration for the illustration contest is so perfect that I can’t even try to compete!

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50Yeahx7

>>65>>65That's nice, isn't it...
That’s nice, isn’t it…

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50

>>62Thank you…thank you…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:48

It’s a movie with no scene of shooting down a helicopter, so it’s a 90-point film.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:48Yeahx3

I watched the Jackie Chan version of City Hunter at the hotel during my business trip, and it was quite interesting.
That’s just a typical Jackie movie!

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:49Yeahx2

>>57That’s a movie that makes you think, “Well, there’s nothing we can do about it, it’s a JC (junior high school girl).”

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50Yeahx2

>>57As a Jackie Chan movie, it is among the top in terms of entertainment.
Something like Street Fighter 2 has also started…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:48

(Wild Makimura appears upon hearing rumors of a live-action adaptation)

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:48

(A middle-aged man floating in the night sky)
💉
(A butt floating in the night sky)

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:48Yeahx1

In movie dubbing, characters in this kind of position are highly suitable for Yama-chan.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:49Yeahx1

The Takarazuka version is a perfect score for me just because Mick is there.
The Takarazuka version is a perfect score for me just because Mick is there.

Mick Angel, an American sweeper. Lion’s best friend!? Asami Aya

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50

Ryohei Suzuki is the only one who can do it! That was the Netflix commercial.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50

It’s not “mokkori,” it’s “hustle,” you know, the Takarazuka version.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50

>>68It didn’t come out as mild at all, and I ended up laughing.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:50

It’s amazing that a wild Makimura exists and that my partner is Kō, all while being the lead actor and director.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:51Yeahx1

(Perfect Pastoral Village)
(Perfect Umibozu)

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:52Yeahx3

>>72(Perhaps I resemble it the least…?)

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:51Yeahx5

Laughing at the greatest crisis as if it’s truly a crisis.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:51

The seriousness of not being excited in front of a mountain of clothes (camera pulls back).

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:53

The FOOTSTEPS scene is full of excitement and fun, enhancing the flavor of action.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:53

By the way, are they not making a final installment of the anime movie?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:54

>>81It seems that nothing is decided at the stage of releasing Angel Dust.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:53

That illustration has a proper differentiation of the four characters, and every time I see it, I think it’s amazing.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:54

I was able to laugh halfway through, but then suddenly a grotesque scene came out of nowhere in the end and I was surprised.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:55

>>83Was there any gore in the final stages?

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:55Yeahx1

It’s a bit scary that there are several actors who wanted to play the role of ◯◯ since childhood, even though it’s a foreign work.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:56Yeahx3

>It seems that they persevered for a few hours until the crows flew beautifully.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:56

I’ll casually include some jump manga references too.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:56

Is it like a Voltes position in the Philippines? City Hunter in France.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:56Yeahx1

>>90That frame has Grendizer in it.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:57Yeahx1

>>90I don’t think it has the same level of citizenship as Voltes from the Philippines.
The director is a huge fan, that’s for sure.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:56

It’s too sad but funny that the uncle’s son suddenly learns that he was adopted.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:57

It’s sad that the Umibozu is so spot-on, yet has so little screen time.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:57Yeahx3

I wish they would cast Ryohei Suzuki as Mick Angel.
I want to see the showdown between Saeba Ryo and the French.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)20:58

What I really want to praise in this movie is Yamachan’s acting.
I’m really glad.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:00Yeahx1

(Example intro)

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:00

Suddenly hit by a stray bullet, the love theme of Top Gun.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:00

The director of the lead actor is lamenting, “I’m the least similar!”

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:01

Isn’t it amazing that even though there are many live-action adaptations, everyone is still finding them interesting?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:01

>>100The original creator is closely overseeing the script…

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:01

>>101Was it the same with Jackie?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:02

I watched other works by this director, but the way children are treated is consistently terrible.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:03

The dubbing in this movie is awful.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:04

(The director’s girlfriend who is made into incense)

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:05

I was truly stunned by the surprise court in the style of a rifle.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:06

Pancho (character from the original work)

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/09(Mon)21:06

Although there are only potentially problematic elements from the foundation of the shooting, everyone is really committed.
