High school is hell. Not many people will argue that point. Everyone there wants to be someone else or be somewhere else. Evidently in Japan there are some manga about juvenile delinquents that portray them as anti-heroes for some kids who need an escape, though some kids might actually aspire join. This is the subject of Hiroshi Shinagawa’s 2009 film Drop (Doroppu) recently released Stateside on DVD from anime giants Funimation.

Because there isn’t such a thing as too much Japanese teenage delinquency. Following up the release of the second trailer from that film by Takashi Miike this week comes along the second trailer for another Japanese teenage rumble in the concrete jungle film, Drop, starring Narimiya Hiroki and written and directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa.
Drop is based on the autobiographical novel by comedian Hiroshi Shinagawa. The story revolves around his teen years as a wannabe yankee sent to public school after being inspired into delinquency by the shonen manga, “Be-Bop High School” in the early 80s.
It is due in Japanese cinemas in March 2009. Both the new trailer and the teaser are after the break.

There is a part of me that wishes high school was a lot like this. Except I couldn’t be a participant. I’d be more a sideline kind of guy. Not that I hate fighting, it just turns out I’m pretty crap at it! Moving on!!!
Drop comes in as one of the many high school action dramas that are coming out of Japan these days. Drop is based on the autobiographical novel by comedian Hiroshi Shinagawa.

Now that manga has already been adapted into a film Bi bappu haisukuru going all the way back to 1985. One of Twitch’s former writers Jmaruyama called that film “Fight Club” meets “The Breakfast Club” in his writeup on that film over at IMDb.
