>>95 If movies are okay, I'd suggest Ikiru The message it's conveying it's quite powerful, and so meaningful, even half a century later Takashi Shimura's performance is quite heart-wrenching, although the movie can be quite a slog to get trough (which is quite poetic and ironic on its own) It's basically Breaking Bad but in 1950s Japan

>>95 it's not a show, it's a movie, but Hana and Alice. Really comfy. Also reccomend All about Lily Chou Chou by the same director Shunji Iwai. Lily Chou Chou is legitimately ethereal. It's beautiful, ethereal, yet also cruel at the same time and it's something everyone should watch.

>>102 it's based on a true story, a japanese woman died from ilness at 38 and before dying she wrote a book called the last 10 years. this is what the movie is based on, I wish I had the book and knew englosh so I could read it up but halas I'm not a japanese speaker :sad:

>>95 1 Liter of Tears, also based on the true story of Aya Kitō dying young from a degenerative illness. She will forever be the age that I am now.. JIN-仁- (2009), a historical fiction jidaigeki about a neurosurgeon who is suddenly timeslipped into the end of the Edo period, a time of tumult and revolt known as Bakumatsu; he doesn't know when he'll return, so all he can do is soldier on with the medical knowledge that he remembers. I personally related to it so much because I love sentimental dramas. The character development, the portrayal of 19th century people as rightfully justified in their superstitions and way of life, doing the best they can, the rivalry between the Kanpō (traditional Chinese) and western (Dutch / Rangaku) medical schools. I learned so many nice JP phrases like how "everything is water bubbles" 「全てが水の泡」is a metaphor for "everything will be in vain". Some episodes are a bit heavy on the historical timeline side of things like secret meetings between famous figures of different shogunates. I plan to read the manga some time. I want to turn into snow. If I turn into snow, I can fall onto Sensei's shoulder anytime, anywhere... The theme song is a JP karaoke classic too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aitakute_Ima Code Blue, starring Gakky and Erika Toda flying around in Doctor-Helis!! (aah, both of them are married now...) Despite it being a medical drama too, I felt that it was more fast-paced and tense than heart-wrenching, because well if you have to be airlifted you already have one foot in the grave anyways I really liked how the characters matured, at the beginning I was cringing at some scenes where the characters' ego took over because they were stressed beyond their breaking point. Liar Game, starring Erika again! I think it is one of the inspirations of Squid Game; a bunch of pure intellectual and deception games where you try to outsmart everyone else and try to form cliques without getting backstabbed, with a huge amount of money of stake. It's rather different from the manga in a funny way if you read it initially, the supporting characters are sometimes different, the games sometimes play out entirely differently, but somehow the conclusions always sync up at the end.
