10/10
Perfect Adaptation
14 February 2020
Banana FIsh is a manga written in the late 80's and early 90's that tackled heavy topics such as race relations, gangs, sexual abuse and LGBTQ+ relations while also help a captivating story. The 2018 adaptation not only lived up to the manga's reputation but dare I say improved it. Modernizing the story and characters truly enhances the viewers experience. The show has incredible characters, story telling and soundtrack. The characters and their relationships are displayed so well that you almost feel as if you are apart of them. Mix those relations with the incredibly diverse soundtrack, you've got yourself a masterpiece that will leave you sobbing.
