Banana Fish!!! One of the most underrated series of 2018!! It's freakin amazing. Such a great series. It's better than most shows out there. It doesn't get enough love. And the OPs & EDs are legit. Definitely love the 1st OP cuz it takes place in NYC, my home
It's my favorite anime of all time. The characters and their relationships are so beautiful :') The story is amazing, the songs are fun, the drama is well, realistic enough for an anime (like, it's not overdramatic or too unrealistic, these things could happen to anyone). It's great. I can't recommend it enough to you. It's not many people's favorite, but most of the people who have watched it gave it 8 or more (out of 10). I'm sure you'll have fun watching it!
Like, I don't usually say "of all time" because I easily change my mind, but I'm 10000000000% sure that I'll never find an anime like this one. It's special to me XD
Top 3 fav animes. The manga was made in 1985-1994 so they changed a few details (in regards of technology and some other tiny details like current wars). And "not child-friendly" is a very good description lmao it does indeed thouches subjects like rape and human trafficking. But what does it for me is how well they show the long lasting effects of these stuff :/ Looking foward to your reaction to it!!
So many anime out there and I swear lots of them are really amazing but for me there is always that one anime that stands out among all of them - Banana Fish. It's the anime that opened up the emotions that I buried deep within me and those emotions that I didn't even know I have. It's not a very known anime, maybe because of its theme, or maybe because they already judged it based on its title, anyone who has no idea about the story would really think " wtf is Banana Fish?". Yeah the title may sound weird and the first idea that would come to your mind is that it is a comedy story but actually it is very far from that. The story is not recommended for people with depression or suicidal thoughts. The story is very dark, raw and it depicts the harsh reality of this cruel world. It's very rare to find an anime like Banana Fish today. Unlike the famous animes today which made me scream and went crazy because of the superpowers, amazing fights,etc. Banana Fish is the one that made me silent and speechless because of so many heavy emotions. Ahh I really love Banana Fish, it left me a huge amount of pain, but what is more important is the lesson that it taught me.
