*ausgrab*

Ich habe die Tage eine neue Liebe entdeckt: NHK-Asadoras. Wobei, so ganz kann ich das noch nicht sagen, weil ich gerade mein erstes gucke, aber da die ja thematisch alle recht homogen sind, nehme ich das einfach mal an.

Habe nun 90 Folgen Hiyokko geschaut – eine 1964-196X angesiedelte Serie über ein Mädchen, das aus einer ländlichen Gegend in Ibaraki kommt und zum Arbeiten nach Tokyo geht, um ihren Vater zu suchen, der kurz zuvor verschwunden ist (und Geld für ihre Familie zu verdienen natürlich). Die Asadoras sind nicht allzu hochwertig produziert – laufen immerhin auch 6 mal die Woche à 15 Minuten –, aber bieten interessante historisch Perspektiven. Hiyokko hat auch einen enorm liebenswerten Cast und hat mich bisher fast durchgehend sehr gut unterhalten. Abgesehen von manchen dialektalen Eigenheiten und vereinzelten Dialogen auch auf Japanisch relativ verständlich für mich. Würde am liebsten mit japanischen Untertiteln gucken, aber die finde ich nur zu älteren Asadoras.

Danach werde ich mir mal Amachan geben – die Serie hat in Japan ja einen großen Hype ausgelöst und viele Leute in die damals angeschlagene Tohoku-Region gelockt. Und Massan wurde mir auch mehrfach empfohlen. Interessiert mich auch persönlich sehr, da ich die Geschichte von Rita Taketsuru und Nikka Whisky sehr spannend finde.

Das sind jedenfalls so Geschichte, die es seit dem Tod der WMTs in Animes kaum noch gibt.

Natsuzora, das 2019 starten soll, klingt auch gut:

NHK unveiled its 100th "serial television novel," titled "Natsuzora," on Monday. The series will star Suzu Hirose (live-action Chihayafuru's Chihaya Ayase, Umimachi Diary's Suzu) as a girl growing up in rural Hokkaido in the postwar period. She becomes fascinated with animation and moves to Tokyo to work in the early days of the anime industry.

The series' story of "dreams and adventures, love and passion" begins in the early summer of 1946 after the end of World War II. A nine-year-old girl named Natsu Okuhara survived air raids but lost both of her parents in the war. She gets separated from her older brother Saitarō and her younger sister Chiharu. As Natsu recovers, she goes to live in the vast wilderness of Tokachi, Hokkaido, and her growth there comes to define her as a person.

Natsu moves in with Takeo Shibata, a dairy farmer and her father's friend from his time serving Japan in the war. Natsu's father and Takeo had promised each other to take care of the other's family if anything happened to them. Takeo's father Taiju had moved the family from Tokyo to Tokachi, and they become pioneers in the area as farmers. Taiju initially views the young Natsu as a burden to the family, but he also has compassion for her. Natsu soon becomes another worker on the farm and grows as she learns to milk cows and tend cattle.

In elementary school, Natsu meets a boy named Tenyō Yamada, who draws impressive pictures of horses. Tenyō tells Natsu about cartoon films that are gaining popularity in America. Natsu marvels at the world of moving pictures Tenyō tells her about. As a high school student, Tenyō tells Natsu of his dream to move to Tokyo and go to a college for art. Natsu also begins to consider her own future.

Due to Tenyō's influence, Natsu starts to want to draw pictures as a career. However, Takeo wants Natsu to marry his only son to ensure the farm's future. Suddenly, Natsu learns that her brother is alive and working in Tokyo. Natsu prepares for her own trip to Japan's capital to become a member of the developing animation industry.
