Freeter - its about a neet that is forced to get a job. Comfy level 7/10
Zatoichi (2003) it's about a blind masseuse that goes to a village and exacts justice upon the criminals harrassing the villagers. Lots of violence. Comfy level 8/10.

>>357729Fukasaku is great. Battle Royale ended up being his most known film in the west but he already made a list of great films before that.
>Kinji Fukasaku was born in 1930 in Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture as the youngest of five children.[11] When he was 15 years old, Fukasaku's class was drafted, and he worked as a munitions worker during World War II. In July 1945, the class was caught in bombing. Since the children could not escape the bombs, they had to dive under each other in order to survive. The surviving members of the class had to dispose of the corpses. After the war, he spent much of his time watching foreign films.Fuckin hell

>>358586It is a TV drama based off a manga about a restaurant in Shinjuku run by a master that is open between 12AM and 6AM. Uniquely, besides a simple menu, the master will cook anything his customer orders, even not on the menu.
While the master is a central character, each episode is focused on customers that visit the restaurant and orders something unique, which is related to their story. There is no overarching plot and a new customer shows up about every episode, but there are also regulars of the place that show up often.
The ambience, the food, the characters, all make up for a comfy 25 min per episode. In the end of the episode, they even show you how to prepare the featured food of the episode.

>>357729>>357746That's how all the great yakuza epics go. It's like you have to watch them once for the gist of the plot and then again to actually follow the characters.
>>357747An interesting result of this is there are tons of Japanese movies from the late 50's to the early 70's where the sentiment is entirely against Japanese honor and tradition since they were made by people who saw traditional ideas lead them directly to getting nuked and firebombed. Later directors who were too young or not alive to remember wartime Japan ended up romanticizing their old values and attributing them to an idealized Japan that never existed, and that's pretty much the image that's dominated global culture since. Godzilla Minus One surprised me by swinging the pendulum back towards the immediate post-war sentiments against the old honor code, so I'm interested in whether we're going to see new movies explore ideas from that angle again.
I'm no expert, but if you're interested in more directors from that period who were disillusioned by Japanese tradition after the war check out Yasuzo Masumura and Yasuharu Hasebe. They feel fresh despite being so old because of how few movies depict Japanese society as soul crushing these days.

I searched Yasuharu Hasebe and found this
>Rape! (1976)>A rape victim realizes that she enjoys sexual assault and continuously offers herself to be raped while searching for her original rapist.Was it kino? Is this about the soul crushing reality of japanese women?

>>360055I haven't seen them, but if I'm not mistaken he followed up Rape! with a sequel called Raping!, and maybe even a third one. Lots of respectable studio directors in Japan ended up directing pornos while their film industry was struggling. Arrow has released two of his early Yakuza movies, Retaliation and Massacre Gun, and Radiance released one called Black Tight Killers which is more pop than gritty. Along the lines of what I was talking about before, Retaliation used Hideki Tojo's house as the exterior for the climax so they could have an excuse to paint fake blood on his front gate.
Masumura was more drama than action and he has a thoroughly depressing movie about a field hospital during their war on China called Red Angel plus several movies about corporate espionage where companies leverage their employees into committing crimes in the name of loyalty like the military would do. Arrow has also released a bunch of his.
