Looking for Asian Movies/TV series - 05-06-2010, 06:00 AM

Hello all. I'm looking for some interesting Asian movies or TV series I can really get into. I'm not really picky about the genre of either, but I can't really stand to watch shows that have been around for 15 years and the pot of coffee the characters have been drinking is still there(some people probably know which long running shows I'm talking about).

The only Asian movies I have seen are:
Ju-On(American and Japanese versions)
Reincarnation
Infection
Ringu(American and Japanese versions)
Dark Water


I'm pretty much open to anything you can throw at me. No one can go wrong by recommending a BL series to me. Thank you in advance.

Why is it so difficult to look for Asian movies or TV shows? More are made in Asia than any other part of the world. Are you aware that there are over 50 countries in Asia and India alone produces more movies than the U.S. every year?

JIN is pretty nice one about the edo time from a medic coming from the future.
Kurosagi is awesome.
Iryu Team medial dragon is awesome if u like medical series etc...

Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu
This one is a daily life series which tells the story of a few students facing their life and getting over it ... i strong recommend you this one the plot is really nice and the story too.

Samurai High School
It is a comedy about a heroic general from the Sengoku period 400 years ago that takes over his body and he seems to be decended from him... it takes place in the today's time...

interesting suggestions, are there fansubs of these availble anywhere? That's about the only way I get to see these unless you can tell me that some us company has actually released them out here which I highly doubt. Also it would be the only way I could understand whats going since I dont speak Japanese
