I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people? (www.theguardian.com)

I’ve lived here for 20 years, bilingual, it isn’t a language thing. Am aware. But most of it is total trash. I mean- even your must-watch TV examples aren’t produced in Japan.

I used to enjoy watching Gaki no Tsukai with my father in law every new years- I decided to bow out when they decided to start doing blackface for chuckles.

However, you are correct about Survive Style 5. That movie rules. All-time top 10 for me.

I also appreciate that all of your examples are labeled “non-anime” 🤣 Obviously, on some level, you feel me.
