>>Lesson Of Evil
I never really listened to the lyrics of Mack the Knife until this to realize how fucked up it is. Was enjoyable for being a school shooting movie.

Just finished the movie and it's great, learning how Miyabe died and why a man like him who values his life more then anything choose to be a kamakazi fighter is satisfying, although it did track a little bit too much but still it was good.
>made a lot of journos mad too
I read some of reviews and holy shit did they watch the same movie or what ?
I swear to god there weren't any hint of Pro-War messages or something like that and it even never idealised Kamakazi fighter, they were multiple times when the character's critized the Kamakazi plan saying "It has no meaning" or showing scenes where all of the Kamakazi planes never even reach the ship which is true not some fantasy, fucking faggot Miyazaki.
I swear this is the second time I see retards who spew absolute bullshit and acting like they know everything, YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS CAN'T EVEN WATCH A MOVIE A FUCKING MOVIE.

I'm no expert but I enjoyed the films of Shinya Tsukamoto in the past. Most would meld well with the gore/horror binge I've been on lately so I may circle back and re-watch a few thanks to this thread.

Adventures of Electric Rod Boy 1987
The sort irreverent bat shit crazy science fiction tone and setting you only get from comics and anime because Hollywood is so up its own ass seeking plausibility. Low-budget but not held back by it thanks to creative film-making. Probably a good place to start as it was the first of what would be multiple surreal, gritty body horror films; Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tetsuo II, etc.  

Haze 2005
This one I highly recommend. It's standalone, newer, in color; far fewer hangups for less-durable viewers. It's cryptic, surreal, horrific. It was fucking tense for me. Runtime is only 49 mins. No excuses.

violent cop

ive had one on my list called battle royale. As you can guess its about some jap gamers dropping into fortenite. Nah its about the japanese education system and how messed up/bugman it is.

reminds me that i have to watch tora tora tora sometime

Interesting to note, while kamikazes weren't that effective, they had better odds than conventionally striking a ship. something about math, how if X amount of planes get shot down by AA and most probably killed, might as well use those planes and pilots as kamikazes. It wasnt just suicidal zeal, but a numbers game. You cant trust normalcattle for anything. If it isnt spoonfed to them as X good and Y bad their brains break

>Lesson of Evil
Film demanded such a suspension of disbelief, I was out almost immediately. Pacing was also complete shit (not unlike many Takashi Miike films) and should have been shorter. Not worth a watch.

Some Japanese movies I can think of off the top of my head:

>After Life (ワンダフルライフ)
Great, great movie. I've been meaning to re-watch it, but it had great impact. Movie's about a group of individuals who help others pass on by letting them choose a memory they can live on in. They film them in order for this to happen. The people filming them are those that chose not to move on. Anyway, there's more to it, but I loved the idea and execution.

>An Autumn Afternoon (秋刀魚の味)
Ozu Yasujiro is another classic Japanese director. I watched Tokyo Story, but Autumn Afternoon is the one that really stuck. It's a slow movie about a father making sure his daughter gets married. I wouldn't recommend this one for casual viewing, but if you can sit through it, the acting is superb.

>The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman (江分利満氏の優雅な生活)
An interesting piece that goes over the work life of the typical salary man. It also goes into a discussion about Japan and their work culture. Another slow grind that I only recommend if you can sit through it.

I liked lesson of evil, it was very anime like

Lesson Of The Evil Spoiler That ending scene where the girl opens her eye and its white like munin was great. Too bad the rest of the movie was pretty shit. Soundtrack was my favorite part

I was interested in watching it but then i read that the guy who wrote it plagiarized it and that just diminished my interest in it. I should give it a try.

>Tetsue The Iron Man
What a shitty fucking movie. I hate farthouse trash like that. I think the same director made some movie called Tokyo Fist and that was equally shitty. Fucking pretentious crap and that i why i refer to arthouse as farthouse. There is no better word to describe it. Its a infantile way to describe it which fits arthouse since its infantile retarded cinema.
