BANANA FISH 「ＡＳＭＶ」- Legacy of Ash Lynx 

I fell in love with this anime almost from the start. I've watched other Japanese anime, but nothing compares to Banana Fish. These characters are real and we feel for them. I've read a lot of reviews about it at Amazon, but no one ever mentions crying over it. What were they feeling? I enjoyed watching the friendship between Ash and Eiji grow. Unconditional love at the bottom of it. I shed my share of tears over this. Amazing what an anime can do to a person!!!

I can't with this song....I cri everytime

Whyy !! Why the end is so sad 😭 why did ash die !! He don't deserve to die! he's like a kid who see the sun for the first time, I'll never forget this anime! Never

This anime was one of the diamonds that exist. Not because of the animation because of the plot and reality it has. It shows people that not every story ends happily. I cry and cry every time when I see banana fish. It makes me realize that there are people that have a more worse life than mine. So never think negative always be positive try to think a way out from your problems, before you lose things that you value. Before it's too late. Because it's your life, it's your own story and you write it.

I can't be mad at Ash because he didn't go to the hospital after being stabbed ... Do you know why? because I think he already wanted to rest from everything, his life was fine at that time thanks to Eiji and everything that he lived with him before. I think he no longer wanted to fight and I understand, his past has played a very important part and he must have been tired... Eiji was already safe, he no longer had to worry about anyone or anything else. (I'm sorry if there is any spelling mistake, English is not my native language ^^ ")

どんなに辛いストーリーでも英二と日本に行く幸せなハッピーエンドを想像して耐えてきたのにこんな…こんなエンドなんて……

英二がいなければアッシュは死ぬことはなかったかもしれないけれど、英二がいなければアッシュの心は救われなかっただろうからこれで良かったんだよね…。

神編集…これだけで号泣してしまった

I love it. You've captured all sides of Ash (both light and dark) as well as his relationship with Eiji ❤❤ I miss them so much 😭

今まで見てきたどのmadよりも泣けた😭

God it’s been 4 months and I’m still crying over it. No anime will ever affect me the same as Banana Fish did. It’s become my favorite anime of all time and I don’t think I’ll ever find an anime that will replace that spot. It’s truly a hidden gem and it’s upsetting to see people not watch because of the relationship between Ash and Eiji, which is not what the anime is completely revolved around. It’s about Ash and how his world is corrupted and anything he does he can’t escape from it. Eiji is there because he is Ash’s safe place. The character development in the characters is astounding and beautiful. From the start, you already feel so connected with characters like when Skipper died, I was really sad because I already loved his character from the first episode. Almost every episode will leave you in tears and I don’t think I’ll be able to find another anime like that. This anime is so fantastic and it needs more attention.

Can’t stop crying 😭

歌詞です 溢れ出した涙のように 一時の煌めく命ならば 出会いと別れを 繰り返す日々の中で 一体全体何を信じればいい？ 生まれ落ちた その時には 泣き喚いていた 奪われないように くたばらないように 生きるのが精一杯だ 胸に刺さったナイフを 抜けずにいるの。 抜いたその瞬間 飛沫を上げて 涙が噴き出すでしょう？ 溢れ出した涙のように 一時の煌めく命ならば 出会いと別れを 繰り返す日々の中で 一体全体何を信じればいい？ 屈託のない笑顔の裏、 隠していた 生きるための嘘が 最早本当か嘘か わからなくて 自分の居場所でさえも 見失っているの 怒りに飲まれて 光に憧れて 今日も空を眺めるのでしょう この人生に 意味があるのなら 教えてよ 脆く、儚い日々の中で 痛みや悲しみさえも 飲み干した今、僕らは 一体全体何を信じればいい？ 溢れ出した涙のように 一時の煌めく命ならば 出会いと別れを 繰り返す日々の中で 一体全体何を信じればいい？

I’m back after rewatching Banana Fish for the first time for the one year anniversary of the last episode. Even after a year I don’t think I’ll ever get over Ash’s death. As much as we didn’t want that to be the outcome for him, it was destined. From the start, Ash was always associated with violence and blood and there’s was no way he could ever escape from that. Even if he ended up with Eiji, he’d still suffer from the nightmares that wake him up every night, trauma for killing Shorter, all the blood on his hands, those are wounds that will never heal. Ash has gone through so much that I don’t blame him for just wanting to end it all. He died knowing that Eiji would no longer be involved in his mistakes and problems and that he was finally free from his rape traumas, gang violence, and everything that caused him pain. Ash would no longer have people he cared for die because of him. Does it hurt knowing that Eiji never gets over Ash even when he’s with Sing? Or that Eiji continuously thinks about Ash after 7 years? It sure hurts like hell but I don’t see a better ending to Banana Fish than what Akimi Yoshida has given us, so thank you Yoshida for giving this wonderful piece of work that permanently damaged all of us.

“Ash don’t die, You have to live...” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I cry every time with things related to Banana Fish, I can never get over this anime and all the sadness and love I feel for him...

To everyone, ash was fearless, invincible... A true wild beast, this is the legacy he left behind. But he was actually a very hurt and bruised human and just when he was learning to feel human emotions, time and time again he had it snatched away from him, forcefully. Until the very end he had nothing left in him... This is ash's legacy, without his gang, skipper, shorter.... Without eji....

5分に全ての鬱が詰まっててしんどい😭 ラオは憎いけどシンのために必死だったんだろうなとか考えるとどっちにも同情できて死ぬ

This is so beautiful I’m crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Who’s cutting onions? I miss u ash 😭🤧

EVERY DAMN TIME i come here to depress myself watching this…. Many years later and still not over the fact that ash is actually dead😔

Almost five years have passed since this anime broke me for life and I'm watching this a few hours before 2024 comes rolling in. This pain will never go mostly because of the cruel reality we live in and nothing has changed. Ash and his story is a symbol of so many kids whose life has been uprooted. The hope we have for a better future is not settling in because we there are savages out there who shoot our dreams. :( Ash is a symbol of that stabbed dream.

The sick thing is, Ash's prayer was answered. He was taken instead. Not immediately, but I just realized it was in fact answered.

Me throughout this whole video: *clutching heart* NOT AGAAAAIN!

Besides the ending, the scene that gets me the most is when Ash pleads to God and collapses asking God to take him instead. Wow I can never make it through that without sobbing

Ash's struggles really tore at my heart. How can a 16 year old deal with so much trauma, yet not break under it. Im so glad that Ash had the opportunity to meet Eiji. They were soulmates. No one helped Ash as much as Eiji did and in turn, Ash helped Eiji loose his naivety. There story was perfect and my heart will always cry for Ash😭😭😭😭

SO HEARTWRENCHING

Happy Birthday to the best hero, Aslan Jade Callenreese. Our souls will always be with you.

Whoever is watching this anime now is a legend 🔥❤️

Это видео заслуживает больше внимания, на много больше просмотров и соответственно лайков. Это одно из не многих видео, при просмотре которого я и правда заплакала, даже сейчас пишу это и вытираю слёзы(На полном серьёзе) Не представляю сколько стараний было вложено в это видео, сколько сил и времени, но вызвало кучу эмоций.

I'm so cry😭😭😭😭😭

His legacy is my heartbrake

_"My soul is always with you._ _ー Eiji_

Ash deserved something better 😭 really deserved My child suffered too much harm from a young age he really deserved happiness more than anyone else. I'm always going to believe it was unfair that he bled to death in the library😭😭💔

I’ve watched this video so many times it doesn’t make me THAT sad every time I watch it

This edit will never get old

Our soul is always with you Ash... Everytime T T

yk what i cant even be mad at the ending because it was ash’s choice. he wanted to rest. which is understandable with how shitty his life is. like if this show was real, then he wouldnt be suffering anymore and would finally be happy yk? so i cant rlly be mad at how it ended, but only bc ik it was ash’s choice :’(

My soul is always with you:(((

Japanese is poor English Edit is excellent! It is the best in mad of bananafish that I watched so far! I think that this end is the only way in which ash is saved, so I know that the end is a happiest thing for me it's too hot.

He's just napping , he's just napping nothing happened he went to japan the next day-

Damn this makes me want to watch it again
