Emblem Take 2

Anime themed around Yankee, delinquents and Bōsōzoku (youth biker gangs.)..

I remember going to the video store, browsing the shelves, and picking out a movie based on the box art alone. I'd look at the front, I'd look at the back, and more often than not I'd put it back on the shelf. Occasionally there'd be something like Ghost in the Shell or Ninja Scroll, and I knew I just had to rent it, or more accurately get my parents to rent it.

This isn't just a list of movies that were available on VHS at my local video store, this is also a list of movies that I would have rented had they been there. They have box art and synopsis appeal, regardless of the reality contained within.

This is my virtual VHS store, where we say Japanimation and we don't stock TV shows unless they're only a few episodes long. I hope you like violence and nudity. Things here also generally skew older, keeping with the VHS theme.

This is the good stuff list. If you want the bad stuff list, go here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9520

Before the likes of Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon conquering the kids in the west, it was actually Akira that opened the door and made people realize that the cartoons coming from Japan weren't what you would expect from Disney or your TV channels.
A huge flood of VHS tapes came showing animations with mature themes, absurd plots, and enough graphic sex and violence to make parents freak out... what a glorious time!
They don't make cartoons like this anymore.

This is a comprehensive list with stuff from very good to very trashy, but all in the same spirit.
Some early 00's also included.

ps: I also recommend, but can't include here, the second Violence Jack movie, A Kite and Mezzo Forte.

Glorious 80's and 90's (Supernatural, Mystery and Horror)

Here to present actual Yakuza animes, and not these bs animes people tend to talk about and show off, here is Yakuza for the actual Yakuza, organized crime! all these other people only add the most cringe type of 'Yakuza' animes, literally! i mean, Househusband? Hinamatsuri? Akiba Maid Wars?? Twittering Birds?? thats all just erotics/BL or cringy type of ridicule comedy, or where Yakuza is nothing but a side-plot of the story with a main character or group is supposedly Yakuza/ex Yakuza, but the anime itself has nothing to do with Yakuza, None of this is what the average Organized Crime watcher is interested in.

I can get that people like those types, not bashing on anyone, but its also seemingly the only ones people know of at all, most anime enjoyers have no idea these exist, So with this stack of mine, im changing that.

The following titles ive added are the only actual Yakuza animes that exist to my knowledge. The only comedy in this list is Naniwa Yuukyouden, but ive included it because its a complete Yakuza comedy, its still crime, shootouts, gang stuff, but its also a comedy of pathetic and stupid individuals within the organization, but with all that said, Enjoy the list!

None of them remain unsubbed, i share the glory down below with all of you now! ive done all the unsubbed ones, im finished with my Yakuza subtitle project, enjoy them:D
