Banana Fish good

Submitted by devtesla in anime4unme

it's about gay crime boys and it's mega rad, super snappy with layered characters and cool shit happening constantly. they updated the manga to move the setting from the 80s to the 10s and they did next to nothing to update their depiction of new york city which honestly works lol like imagine if NYC was still cool.

I should say that the villains are super gross so like, trigger warnings for implied child sexual abuse and all that.

anyway I'm mega hype this is the good shit.

Banana Fish would gain nothing from reflecting safer than disneyworld nyc with no small time crooks and even more financial crooks, so if they're not gonna set it in the 80s this is the only option they had

yeah i think just keeping the 80s setting would have been my preference tbh
