this anime is so underrated and i am so happy that a platform as big as this is watching it. this shit was an EMOTIONAL rollercoaster so get your restraints tight and enjoy this ride. plus the animation is super clean like i felt like i been to new york just from watching it.
The banana fish fandom is tiny so it's nice seeing so many people in the comments!🍌🐟
Tiny? Maybe the english fandom. The spanish fandom is hUGE
Tiny!? Since when? :'D
@Labinzel 3712, I’m glad that the fandom is continues to grow.
Me 5 month later: Tiny?????👁👄👁
I’m here 👩🏾🦽
I died laughing when they said "he probably hasn't really killed anyone"
Who’s that in your pfp?
If Rana watched this show she would run out of tears
Dude the anime would leave you sobbing uncontrollablely and scarred.
ASH DIDN'T DIE, he's alive...
want proof?
Proof 1. go to the official Bananafish.tv site look for the characters then under it you will see a rectangle with an arrow > click it, you should see all of them in a rectangular picture some of the characters are black and white which means *dead* and colored if *alive* ...
Proof 2. Rewatch the season 2 opening and look for ash walking injured in the snow with the same coat when he died in the library, and you can see that he's remembering Griffin, Shorter and Eiji while walking injured he didn't die, he went to japan for Eiji.
I’m new here, Rana’s my name too!:)
@@b4nny816 Dude, he's confirmed dead. We're all in denial but it's true
@@claireierullo5948 yeah found out about that after researching some more cuz I WAS IN DENIAL and I shared my theories about it but ppl came after me. I read the Garden of Light and Angel Eyes and found out he was rlly dead in the manga.
Banana Fish, is an emotional ride, with a good story, great OST, ED and OPs. Enjoy!
THIS WAS SO UNEXPECTED
loontan EXACTLY
Ikr i literally jumped
I'm still shook
Well. It actually was predictable. There is a certain pattern with patreon requests.
I wonder how many people actually realize that "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" is actually a brilliant short story written by J.D. Salinger.
Me!
Apparently the titles of each of the 24 episodes is the title of one book or the other irl.
I AM SERIOUS MY HEART WHEN I SEEN THIS I GASPED
SAME I ALMOST CRIED JSJFHHF
I SCREAMED OMG
Dude sameeee
this is one of the greatest anime ive ever watched and im already getting emotional trying to prepare for these reactions omggg
Fun Fact: Ash's Character design is modelled after the late River Pheonix.
WOW
Thank you so much for doing my request! Really hoping you will continue, as I said it’s only one season, 24 episodes!! Love you guys ❤️
Edit: Suraj clutching his banana 😂
Ellinor this was your fault?????!!! THANK YOU! (I’m definitely not ready🥺)
Omg you have such wonderful taste!! Thank you!!🤝❤
THANK YOUU 💕💕
omg bless you 🥺
ur the real MVP here
4:27 “is he a youtuber?” 😭😭
17:05 - materialism, isolation and the search for innocence........ man that hits different when you have watched the whole show and know whats finna happen.
Info: the manga was published from 1985 until 1994. "A Perfect Day for Banana Fish" is about how you are never the same after having experienced certain things. Just like the fishes called "Banana Fish" die after eating too many bananas, the main character from the book commits suicide after having experienced the horrors of the war.
The anime made a good job incorporating modern elements that didn't exists during the publication of the manga while keeping it all like the original story. I have *never* seen anything like this, i wish you kept watching it.
I find it really interesting how they mixed the 80s and the 2010s.
Not in history and in the desing. The better of both times.
I rewatched this show like 8 times now, and read the manga twice, and I'm still getting so hyped about it everytime
Banana Fish is one of the fastest animes to suck me in and binge it to completion. Suspenseful, action-packed and heartwrenching!
Listen to me people who havent watched this show. There is a certain thing i noticed about it. Its quite serious, interesting with well written characters and heartwrecking plot at times. Basically speaking, its good. If you are avoiding the show becouse you dont like watching gay things then you are making a mistake. Unless a thought alone about people of the same gender having feelings for each other disgusts you then you should watch this. Its a really good show that puts pressure on something modern stories dont. Characters arent interesting becouse they are gay but are interesting and happen to be gay. and its just good.
I expect negative replies from misunderstanding people but if one person that hesitated to watch this anime for the reasons i specified will watch it then i would consider time writing this comment well spent.
Thats all.
Good evening.
thank you for putting this into words haha, it's an extremely misunderstood anime, many people pass it off as yaoi and refuse to watch it. it pisses me off that something that took so much effort is just put into genre it doesn't belong in lol.
I actually made my friends watch it, but I had to explain to them that the series is more than just a BL, and that it tackles serious problems like rape, child-trafficking, prostitution, corruption, murder, illegal organizations, and drugs. Not to mention all the psychological damage the main character went through. I knew for sure that if I only described it as BL or YAOI, they'd likely give me the dirty look and assume it's just another yuri-on-ice lovey-dovey story between two men with the purpose of entertaining young girls who fetishize over gays. If I didn't mention the heavy themes they wouldn't want to watch it for sure. I agree with what you said, Ash isn't cool just because he's gay, he is a cool character who just happens to be gay. I was annoyed when someone mentioned that Banana Fish would have been better if Eiji was a girl, as if they're saying that a show can't be just as good just because the main pairing were both men. The show was good just the way it is, if the viewers would choose to focus more on the important and heavy details instead of just freaking out over two men kissing on screen. Besides, the "romance" between Eiji and Ash is only a sub plot, and if people are still salty about it they could just perceive it as deep friendship.
@@reeverfan3729 Ash and Eiji have a non-sexual relationship though (and they refer to each other as friends repeatedly), so I don't know how people see that as gay anyway.
@@caesarsalad-xu4vy it has been confirmed that they two eventually would have had a sexual relationship, not at first, but eventually...I wouldn‘t describe their sexuality as gay tho but rather pan bc I just feel they fell in love with each other’s souls
@@juliag9916 where was it confirmed
I got really excited when I saw this pop up. I do genuinely hope you guys watch the full series, but I'm not sure if you guys were warned about the themes in the show. If you guys do know about them, I hope you guys are comfortable enough with them to continue.
@Michael Mayor alot of mentions of rape.
@@lakriz116 And thats mostly it. The show didnt get off the ground as well as it should becouse it was labeled a strong yaoi since day one while it is not true. People that came for it only were disappointed and people who would enjoy it didnt see it. Sad.
@@mordredvonumbra154 yeah there isn't even one sex scene or rape scene. I think this anime is important and that they handled the traumatic topics really well. Seen one to many anime's that romanticize rape and Banana fish isn't one of those.
@@lakriz116 ??? Romanticize rape? Like what anime?
@@mordredvonumbra154 like joujou romantica
I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS OMG IM EXCITED BUT ALSO IM SAD I GOTTA GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN
The tears that would be shed.
This is one of my favorite love/hate animes that gives me the worst, yet best angst.
I love my boys. 😔
Omg this anime is amazing. I’m not ready.
That got me by surprise O_O Banana Fish is amazing :D
11 months later and I'm still waiting for the day they watch all of this series👌
I just saw that you guys reacted to banana fish and I screamed and immediately clicked to watch! Bananafish is such a good anime and extremely underrated I'm so excited to watch my favs watching my fav
I think its because it was commercialized strongly as yaoi while its strong points(which are many) lie elsewhere.
Banana fish!!!! I love banana fish, it’s a shame that not many people considered watching when it was airing back then (just because it has “BL” elements, even though the show is more than just that).
Yeah, especially because the BL elements are so subtly. One could easily look at it as a bromance (until its too late and they're already in love with the anime).
OMGGGG I'M SCREAMING I HOPE THEY WATCH THE FRIST THREE EPISODES AT LEAST
Banana fish is such a dope show the art style the story the characters all great
I can’t believe you guys are watching Banana Fish!!!!!! It’s a amazing anime but is so sad 😭
bf manga is legendary and very popular in japan/asia!! it got an anime adaption pretty late but the anime and soundtracks are so good!
I'm actually glad they made it late, cause the soundtracks are so good.
Those impressions are actually accurate wtfff
Banana Fish is pope a dope... definitely keep watching
Oh my god I swear my heart stopped for a few seconds when I saw the title I'm not kidding
Way to go Eleanor. I love this Anime!
At this point these patreon requests are just sad because these shows are underrated af and don't get enough traction but shutout to the people who request these anime
Yeah they never continue them as well
I've watched like 4 episodes of this and really enjoyed it, but had to stop because of classes. I should continue it
You should. But it will be an emotional rollercoaster.
Yes.
It's best to marathon it, and then deal with the emotional aftermath in one go.
It's underrated and got swept under the rug because 'gay' for a lot of people..... but yeah... nevermind that.
@@misschieflolz1301 It was not that gay really so its PR department fault for advertising it as such. They could have cashed in on that a lot more but they screwed up. I am a bit sensitive to gay content but i wasnt uncomfortable even once watching it. They do a good job of telling but not showing things directly. Truly well done.
@@mordredvonumbra154 Exactly.
I've consumed a LOT of Yaoi and this doesn't even really fit that genre. Yes, there are those themes, but it's told in a completely different light.
And like, that's literally the least of your worries with what else is going on. It's like 'is one little kiss between guys going to stop you from watching a great show?' since that was such a genius move.
@@misschieflolz1301 I have no issues with "gay", so it's ok! Haha
I’m so freakin excited that y’all watched this! Banana fish had me in emotional distress the whole damn season
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS SERIES 😭💓
This is one of the series that I'm willing to wait until 3 a.m. for every episode to come out 😂
OH MY !! Never expect them to watch banana fish but hell yeeeaaah please continue with this show it's so damn good !
“I like this kid”
Me: oh god
It's been over a year since I watched it and my heart still hurts
I am so happy to see you react to it ^^ Banana Fish is just an all around hype and good show
yall need to finish this :(
I knew this was gonna be amazing and worth the ride when I first heard that singing in the opening. I dont know what I got into, but it's that moment that captured my full atention already. Love it
I REALLY hope you guys proceed with this show it’s a RIDE every episode with like no lulls. 🤘🏼 great reacts as always.
Yesss please carry on reacting to thissss
i'll always be sad in some way that they never continued this anime
same. i hope to one day wake up to a miracle that they uploaded episode 3. 😩
in general banana fish is hard to react. from popularity is low so not enough viewers to the language. if ppl forget the anime does use very specific slurs on ppl which the creator demanded for the anime so ppl question that alot on the demands. and to add on their reaction patterns:
for vid to do good hey need to garner at least 15k views by a week after vid upload. if dont maintain this for avg 4 straight weeks for those react videos for said series then revenue wise its a flop to them and drop it for something else. they never fully say this but its obvious on their channel practices and past stuff they dropped.
It took me 2 years to be able to watch banana fish again without crying my eyes out immediately (I still do but like not immediately) but I'm glad to see people reacting to it more because I couldn't find any before
New subscriber 🤘🏽
The comic was written in the late 80's early 90s. This is a modernization. Also, I'm from NY. Like, I KNOW these corners and it just feels so authentic.

Dude had to call me up in a voice call to get his feelings out about the ending. You guys are in for a treat.
Also like to point out that this started in 1985 and was published first in Bessatsu Shojo Comic, which was a serialised publication aimed at girls and women.
Yes. That's correct. XD
I just finished this in about 3 days. Love this little gem, glad to see you guys doing a reaction video.
NANI!
Thank you for watching Banana Fish ( the 40-something year old manga ) and uploading your reaction video ! :)
While I re-watched the show ( with you guys ), I thoroughly enjoyed how you reacted to every single scene of this show !
I hope I will get to see more of this. Again, arigato ! ^ ^
Greetings from Japan

it's a serie that people definitely sleep on. fast-paced, action, and THE EMOTION is all superb.
Omg.....I'm going to put myself through hell again watching this reaction 😭😭😭
Duuuuudes!! Glad you did this one!!! Hope you like it!
I heard each episode name is a reference to a book of some kind
BananaFish is so underrated I’m happy 😭😭
YESSSSSSSSSS!
This show has my fav op of all time!
Banana Fish the anime is from 2018, but it's adapted from a manga that ran 1985-1994. So certain elements have probably been changed around to be current, like the cell-phones.
best request yet!
Did they ever continue this?? This is such a good and emotional series 😭😭😭
Thanks CZcams 😭 I love seeing people react to this amazingggg showwww
omg i never thought this day would come lmao
Omg yes! Im so happy to see you reacting to this 😀 it's sooo good but sadly not many people know about it
Wow.... I have never ever thought that any reaction channel especially as big as this would react to such an underrated show!!!
"I like this kid" 😢
fun fact, i had same hair cut as Shorter at one point thought my sides were turquoise :D
so happy to see all the people from the fandom
hey y'all!!!!!
