Delinquents/yankii/banchou/sukeban are so fucking cool.
I wanted to get into delinquent manga from the 70s-80s starting with Sakigake!! Otokojuku. I torrented the whole manga's raws to practice my Japanese, as well, but I could never get around to reading it.
Likewise, even though it's not 2D (but it is adapted from manga) I torrented all of Sukeban Deka and could never watch more than 1 episode.
Unfortunately, I lost them both when my laptop broke.
Could you please recommend more delinquent stuff? Even if it's just one character in a series that's not about delinquents. If there's something like a rec chart that'd be pretty cool. If, not, we could make one.

I fucking love this kenny lauderdale guy and his videos on 80s anime but especially the ones on delinquent stuff. Even more specifically, the sukeban stuff:
"The original Kill la Kill"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaUXsrYwuvQ"She only used dynamite like one time ok?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0hywe3uiCo"The show that ended a genre"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0GmMbH-1hcWhat's up with the more clickbait-y video titles lately though? I don't remember that.
>>12825>rather he just talks about obscure Japanese shows and trivia related to itThat's a youtube reviewer.
>I doubt you watched a single one of those videos.That doesn't even change what I said.
>>12830 >without using a youtuber as a proxy for their opinions<muh zoomer <muh animu bordyou're a retard and fallacious, you are the polluter
>>12826>That's a youtube reviewerNo, no it is not; a review isn't the same as an overview anon.
>doesn't even change what I saidYour statement doesn't mean anything and is not correct - many of his videos do not directly refer to any other media except in direct relation to the media he is talking about at the moment. Moreover, media are not made in a vacuum and are relevant to other media of the past or present in analysis.
>>12821 Ya welcome m8
>>12830>using a youtuber as a proxy for their opinionsI use this youtuber to find out about obscure 80s anime that very few people talk about, nothing more. How about you watch the videos before posting something irrelevant?
>>12833Yeah it feels like /anime/ is more active tonight but it's especially shitty right now too. What's with these angry fags who only come here to complain?
>>13086I'm watching this anime right now
loving it so far, lol'd many times

>>7655Based thread, needs more love. This thread pisses off Japanese conservatives and the yakuza, which makes me very happy.
>>7674>still related imoWe do not shill for the lumpenbourgeoisie and their henchmen in this holy thread.
>>7655Can you recommend me some anti-capitalist/anti-corporatocratic/anti-yakuza banchou manga? I want to stick it to the yakuza by reading manga in my apartment in a different country, that'll show 'em who's the boss of the gym.
Ideally I want to see a banchou massacreing all the yakuza. All of them. Total yakuza death.

Kill the yakuza. Behead the yakuza. Roundhouse kick a yakuza into the concrete. Slam dunk a yakuza baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy yakuza. Defecate in a yakuza's food. Launch the yakuza into the sun. Stir fry the yakuza in a wok. Toss the yakuza into active volcanos. Urinate into a yakuza's gas tank. Judo throw the yakuza into a wood chipper. Twist the yakuza's heads off. Report the yakuza to the NTA. Karate chop the yakuza in half. Curb stomp pregnant yakuza wives. Trap the yakuza in quicksand. Crush the yakuza in the trash compactor. Liquefy the yakuza in a vat of acid. Eat the yakuza. Dissect the yakuza. Exterminate the yakuza in the gas chamber. Stomp the yakuza's skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate the yakuza in the oven. Lobotomize the yakuza. Mandatory abortions for the yakuza. Grind the yakuza fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown the yakuza in fried chicken grease. Vaporize the yakuza with a ray gun. Kick the old yakuza down the stairs. Feed the yakuza to alligators. Slice the yakuza with a katana.
Obviously the delinquent is in "rebellion" to normal society to some level but in the popular media of Japan at least it seems that usually the delinquency is temporary and the delinquent eventually becomes respectable. Although from anecdotal recollections that I have read online even the actual real-life delinquents didn't really get into much significant crime but mostly small fights and other more innocent stuff, such as theft of school supplies, deviation for others whom were in need.
Anyways, recs:
Sukeban Deka is quite of course classic.
Ore-sama Teacher is so far quite hilarious, and the mains who are presumably coupled are somewhat reminiscent of .
Cromartie High School is also quite funny, and even has been adapted for the movie theatre.
<if you think about it perhaps
Would Huckleberry Finn, in the book with his name titular, count as one character that is delinquent, on the question of "delinquent" media? He persists in his delinquency even at the conclusion of the narrative. That is perhaps more the mature demographics' sort of delinquents' tale, arguably, which is written for the function of serious critique.

Yankii mimick the customs of the yakuza and yet they don't want to join them for one reason or another. They're also ruder and more aggressive than the yakuza (the "idiot from Osaka" stereotype) while the yakuza are more "trad" if you will. Yankii are more "punk."

Man, people in Kanzai are way more fun than those boring Tokyo prudes.
>>23487Kansai is so much better than Tokyo that it's not even funny. The Western coalition should have won at Sekigahara.
>>23484I think they're more similar to hooligans than to straight up criminals.
>>23489"Hooligan criminals."
I think it's a spectrum. Some are legit criminals, just not the yakuza ones. The most important aspect of them is their strong ties within their gangs unlike more atomized lawbreakers, a trait they took from the yakuza.
Some interesting videos about Delinquents in Japan, the history, some basic way of speaking etc.
>Talking Like a Japanese Delinquenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1BFt4SYtC4
>BANCHŌ & SUKEBAN - Japan’s Delinquent SCHOOL GANGS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEITKSiHMc0
>The romanticism of delinquents in Japanese Mediahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntf2LC7nMEsIn a way one can conclude that Sukeban and Delinquent culture, was Japan's equivalent of Punk counter-culture and rebels, and similarly were romanticized in anime. I'll upload the videos as files later.
>>23752>>23836Honestly I think there may be more Sukeban works than Delinquent works and most of either are live action such as Sukeban: Taiman Shobu (1974).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1900990/ It seems most of those stories also tended to come out in the 70s and 80s, with them being relegated to background stereotypes in later works as the subcultures died out.
