I'm going to give it a 7.5. Everything is great minus gay shyt :scust:.........:dame:

10

This show was dope as fukk. Great pacing, characters, plot, etc....everything was on point. Both OP's are dope as fukk. The shootout action is on point. Really enjoyed the mafia gang influence and how it got political too.

The bad guys are perverted and twisted as fukk so you really grow to hate them nikkas.

The little I seen of it (4 or 5 episodes) was fukkin dope.

Minus the :dame:-ness.

No rating because I never finished it.

I miss Amazon Prime :mjcry:

It looks interesting based in the Gifs above, but what is this about non-Harlem content :dame:

Does it get extreme and in the way of the story :dame:

Yes Banana Fish follows the relationship between Ash Lynx, a teenage gang leader in New York City, and Eiji Okumura, a Japanese photographer's assistant. The series is noted as a crossover success between shōjo and shōnen audiences, and for its influence on the boys' love (BL) genre.:dame:

Yeah. The Godfather of Mafia is a fakkit into boys, treated them like prostitutes. The Brothers focused one of his younger brother to be a gay/prostitute just to tricked the Godfather, their rivals,etc.

Banana Fish is the name for "Drugs". The Story sets in New York City. I'll say this, this is a great story thou.

No, it doesn't get extreme and is never used for gay fanservice. You're not gonna be watching some scene and they they cut to some gay sex for no reason.

I be wanting to talk about it, but I don't want a bunch of :gucci::scust: quotes. If I took the time to learn how to take gifs from streams, thread would be full of folks getting shot up weekly.

compared to goblin rape and loli groping, Banana Fish is tame.

The worst I've seen in the series is the prison ep. Honestly there's only 4 gay people in the series. One of them is a piece of shyt pedophile but nothing is shown. One dresses like a girl sometimes (once or twice) but never does anything beyond this. Nobody does the stereotypical played up constant "flaming promiscuous" shyt that's so prevalent in media.

Ash's past is implied heavily, but it's never explicit. His past and history of child abuse/exploitation is what makes the character who he is. A lot of watchers don't realize that they can see the same traits in some guys they may know, but they will never know why.

Or even, hell. Look at Michael from The Wire.

Yeah the non Harlem shyt is lightweight and not really a factor in how dope the show is.
The only thing that was annoying to me was how many cats they had thirsting for the main character. They had damn near half of NY lusting for ole boy. :scust:
