Do you happen to know about any? I'd love to join. Except for straight romance, I watch pretty much anything that I find interesting. Thanks!

Discussion Human Vapor: Bowling Scene Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Okay, so I... tonally don't think I'm understanding Human Vapor. For the first 5 episodes, it was playing as melodrama with pretty few, if any, moments of humor - very self important, very overtly serious aside from poking fun at the failing youtubers.

Then in episode 5 a "tense" scene between two men deeply entrenched in the yakuza settle a bet with a bowling challenge.

On the face of it, okay, that's fine, it's a dramatic thing to say "hey do this perfectly or we'll shoot you, high stakes etc" but then the scene erupts into an 80s style montage with lens flare and wild coloring - climaxing in this mobster randomly being a bowling savant, and somehow that earns an insane amount of, idk, street cred? And he's straight up dancing after he does it?

The entire scene shift I was audibly saying to my partner "what the hell is going on? I- what?"

Can someone explain?

Crossposting because I wanted to hear what this community thinks.

I genuinely think Kiss That Kills is Kento Yamazaki's most underrated performance. His portrayal of Otaro Dojima is still my favorite role of his, and I don't think it gets nearly enough recognition.

I'm thrilled but are they only releasing the 2024 movie, not the drama seasons?? Maybe I'm being geoblocked?

something that doesn’t have a complex plot and doesn’t have a lot of episodes. a slice of life but isn’t depressing.
