Banana Fish

The Banana Fish anime is an updated story taken from the previous Banana Fish manga (comic). Not only is this a fresh take on the manga, but provides a story and setting that isn't very common in anime.

The anime is set in New York and follows a gang leader (Ash) who befriends several unlikely people to solve a mystery and obtain revenge. This anime is in no way family friendly and has quite a bit of violence, drugs, sexual situations and a disturbing sexual backstory.

The show was amazing. It is a classical masterpiece. I would recommend a certain age to watch it and it is heartbreaking. Not for the fainthearted .

This show ruined me. it's been months and I'm still thinking about it. 10/10 would watch and ruin life again.

This show killed me, resuscitated me, and then killed me again.

It such a riveting story. I didn't think I was going to be able get into but I'm hooked. Love the main character ASH. He is complex, intelligent, strong, fierce, and compassionate. This show is really well written and worth the watch.
