god damn what i would've given for the banana fish anime to be set in the 80s like the manga. just imagine. neon. shoulder pads. acid wash everything. love is a battlefield on the soundtrack. everyone being fucking floored by the fact that ash knows how to use a computer
episode 24 summary
Dunno why exactly the Banana Fish anime had to go from the manga’s “Lao is Sing’s half-brother. They have the same mom” to “Lao is Sing’s stepbrother. Lao’s late mother was Sing’s mother’s elder sister” ??????????? Either the subtitles had an aneurism, or…or god, I don’t even know? It wanted to be Spaceballs for some reason?? “Lao is Sing’s father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.”
Banana Fish characters as 80s bops
Ash - The Wild Boys
Eiji - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Shorter - Sunglasses at Night
Yut-Lung - Running Up That Hill
Sing - Eye of the Tiger
Blanca - Islands in the Stream
Max - Jack and Diane
Jessica - Maneater
can’t believe some “people” just ““recovered”” after banana fish ... just “““““moved on””””””” fuck off
i still can’t believe there isn’t a canon shorter and sing interaction. it’s the highest form of treason.
I know Sing is 14 but he was the one cleaning the mess behind everyone !!
My friend, who has never seen Banana Fish, made this after I showed her a pictured of Sing and Blanca together.
ash’s first impression of sing
Sing SooLing ^^
Who else agrees with Sing?
That meme back then [in manga], and now [in anime]
