I think most of you know about these shows, if you have any favorites post them here.

This one's about dressing up men as women. Wow.

I am so confused right now.

This one isn't really strange, but it is intriguing. It's a live-action drama series called "Sh15uya" (Pronounced "Shibuya Fifteen"). I'm not sure about the details, but it's something to do with an alternate Shibuya caught up in a perpetual war between teenage gangs. There's a supernatural element to it, whenever one of the kids in Shibuya becomes "broken" (I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I think it has something to do with the person's emotional state), they get some weird mark on their hand and then these beings called "Peace" come and kill them. And none of the kids can leave Shibuya. It's actually pretty interesting, if a bit bloody and violent.

What year is Sh15uya from? There has to be inspiration in at least one direction between this and The World Ends With You / Subarashiki kono sekai.

Came out in 2005, I believe. So TWEWY would have come after.

I like the Japanese shows that look like live action video games.
