You can try the Emblem Take 2 OVA if you don't mind it being one of those "redo" type stories where the main character gets to relive a portion of their lives. I dunno what you would call it.

It is based off a manga, but one with no translation and unlikely to get one since it's fucking long.

>>155098459
Yakuza run legitimate businesses now, similar to Italian mobsters in the states. Sure there are "Yakuza families", but as far as criminal activity goes it's next to none.

All yakuza manga are BL and BL never get proper adaptations.

I feel that Confessions of a Yakuza should have an anime and/or manga, but I also feel that it would be too 'hard' a story to be universally likeable and sell well. Is there really enough of a market to create such works, which can only really cater to bookish adults?

>>155099952
Yeah it starts slow I remember, but it picks up and have a good climax at end of part 1. Didn't like part 2 since it lost its roots and became a generic monster revenge story

Nigga, please. Anime is being used for money laundering just like any business by criminal organizations. The myriads of late-night anime productions and the fact that only the majority sponsors need to be named in a production committee (if at all) allows all the different fonts for the diverse yakuza organizations to invest some sums here and there and then to withdraw it later.
Also, the most openly known way for the yakuza to finance an anime franchise is when they order a pachinko machine.

>>155100288
on the official website, there was blu ray released in November I think that gave info for purchasing tickets to the screening event in May. The 91 days info on myanimelist recently got updated with it too https://myanimelist.net/anime/34777/91_Days_Special
I hope it picks up after the vol. 2 of the novel. Probably after Nero goes to give some money to that guy he took the car from. It's from the POV of Corteo's friend years later talking about he doesnt know what happened to Nero and Angelo.

Because the real yakuza are absolutely insane. They will gut you with a knife if you look at them wrong. They'll break your teeth with a hammer and make you swallow them. These people are fucking gangsters and murderers. If someone were to make an expose type of anime about them, the studio and everyone in it would be dead within the first three episodes.

>>155100789

What the fuck are you twats arguing about?
It is known that media avoids depicting muslims in entertainment or documentaries in any way because if you offend them - you won't be safe even in Japan with their nonexistant muslim community.
Caricature and comics authors are literally forced to seek asylum and enter witness protection to protect themselves and their families from violent attacks.
It's a fact and I'm not the one who fails to recognize it.

I just said that it's probably the same with Yakuza: you'll have to get their approval for whatever shit you'd want to depict in anime and it would be boring af because of that.

It is not the same at all. First off, there are PLENTY of depictions of yakuza in other mediums such as manga and in live action films.

There is literally nothing stopping them from making a yakuza anime except the fact that it just isn't what the teen to twenty something year old demographic that watches late night anime wants to see.

If you want to compare anything Japanese to Islamic terrorists, try those Aum Shinrikyo fucks.

Not anymore.
The Yakuza is essentially powerless these days and only really handles drug traffic and some racketing in small towns. They are at their lowest numbers and influence now since they stopped recieving funds from the CIA to halt possible communist groups from forming, so the japanese government has been able t oseriously crack down on them since the 90s.
Most of the influent folks have moved on to "more legal" corporate operations or transfered their operations to China.

This is a tactic they have used a lot.
It's also not too hard to find their paper trail in corsican families and such groups, same in Siscilly (though on a smaller scale).
They funded a lot of criminal organizations in some cases to keep regionalists or independentists rooted in traditionnal thought to cut the possibilities of communist revolutionnaries to take their place (a great opposite example of this is the USSR completely repurposing the kurdish nationalists to turn them into a communist group, and it still is one to this day) ; or in the case of the Yakuza, to create a dependence on the USA rather than go through russian channels.

Laws were loose back then.

>>155102766
It's in small things you don't really mention. A very well known trick is "added taxation" in gas stations (also rampant in Italy) that is disguised as fuel being more expensive due to shipping ; intimidating store owners into paying some form of taxation to the local families (either for occupation of the building or on products themselves, which allows them to make significant profits on tourist-baiting), complicity with the police to cover up quite a lot of offenses, complicities with various media outlets to make sure nasty affairs do not get much coverage ; fuckloads of weapon trade (the undeclared war between corsican and continental-shouthern importers is to blame for a sizeable amount of unregistered weapons in France).
And no one, NO ONE ever mentions it, especially not to anyone who isn't known as part of the community. This is part of the "conspiracy of silence" you find in each and every installment of this sort of organized crime and that really was made possible by the organizations recieving foreign funds or basing themselves on already existing wealth (see the american italian and jewish mafia) to start the intimidation cycle and keep it tight as long as there is some profit being generated.

>>155102793
I'm saying that I spent a grand deal of time speaking with locals and even learning some of the language. I spent virtually no time near tourist shit, hence
>I certainly wasn't sticking to the 'tourist trail.
I spent a considerable amount of time fucking around in the mountain-y towns in the north of Corsica, where the supposed 'strongest gang in Corsica' resides, yet I heard not even a word about their *existence* when discussing local life with the residents. You don't imagine that an 85 year-old woman who's never left Corsica in her life is particularly afraid of mentioning the existence of local thugs, do you?

I'm just expressing wonder at the fact that I didn't hear a word; I'm not saying that they weren't around. Very odd stuff.

>>155102898
actually :
>this has a lot to do with some of the marseillais mobs originating in Lebanon and Algeria, the older families have ventured into housing, docking/shipping and other much more lucrative businesses rather than weapons and drugs, and a lot of the smaller groups often full of algerians recieve funds from these families, are kept incompetent so they get attention from the police in order to protect the top of the pyramid by only exposing the disposable and easily replaced lower parts of the pyramid)
>this is why you had anti-muslim riots in Corsica a year or two ago, without any real interference from the Police. The corsican mob does not generate as much wealth as continental rivals do and this sort of parallel crime circuit (because let's be real, saudi-funded mosques are essentially local antenna for another form of organized crime. The sooner we start thinking of the saudi influence as a mafia, the better) would be too big a threat to them in terms of mean, especially since many of them deal in weapons too

>>155103052
>You don't imagine that an 85 year-old woman who's never left Corsica in her life is particularly afraid of mentioning the existence of local thugs, do you?
She better fucking be if she values having a home that isn't burnt down.

>You don't imagine that an 85 year-old woman who's never left Corsica in her life is particularly afraid of mentioning the existence of local thugs, do you?
If she doesn't want her grandson to "die in a car accident" or have the property she is "allowed by the family" to occupy being burned, she better fear them.
And their overwhelming presence in most domains since the end of WW2 has made it all quite normal in Corsica, to the point that it can be to some locals seen the same way you would see paying your taxes. It's just an annoyance that is there.

>drug traffic

I've been doing a bit of reading and there seems to be significant and strict anti-drug policies within the Yakuza. There was even an anti-drug official Yakuza website made a few years ago.

What's with the hypocrisy?

>>155102953
That 'conspiracy of silence' thing sounds like quite a wonder of its own. I suppose that the Corsican "government" really is little more than a name, then. You know, the flight that I took to the island carried about 6 people. All of this makes me wonder if the knowledge of this mafia stuff is what has scared off tourism of the island. The roads on Corsica are virtually empty, too (sans distribution trucks) - perhaps because of that which you said about gas station taxes.

This discussion is kinda giving me an urge to go back; to dig in to this mafia stuff more. I think it'd be an interesting exploration of the culture, now that I'm not so oblivious. Compare and contrast how I saw the island the first time with the coming time, and such.

>>155103204

Either way, I know that they have absolutely bullshit standards. *That's* something that you can look into; it's totally unfair. I can't imagine actually getting in. Apparently, they have a nauseating amount of psychological tests to determine if you 'fit in' with their image/message. If I were to go in with my cheery "I'd like to join because I've always kinda wanted to be a mercenary; it sounds like a dream job", I'm sure I'd be escorted out pretty quick.

Take it from somenone who had a lot to do with people that lived in places where the mafia, camorra, stidda and other criminal organizations operated.

They don't talk about it, there is some kind of tacit agreement in southern Italy where you don't go around talking about it, unless you are involved with the anti-mafia. Most residents especially in closed communities know who the mafioso is and what business they run, but surely they are not keen to reveal it to the first foreigner they meet.

>>155097223
They don't want to get in trouble with the actual one by portraying them in realistic way.

>>155103544
So go bungy jumping. Asking the wrong questions and ending up with broken bones or at the bottom of a dock is not a good way to get an adrenaline rush.

>>155103651
>Asking the wrong questions and ending up with broken bones ... is not a good way to get an adrenaline rush
The fun isn't the after-you're-caught part. The fun is the fight itself. The fun is not knowing what's going to happen next. With something as inane as bungee-jumping, the exact result is always known. You go down, and you go up. You know this before you even plan the event.
I've never really understood the supposed 'thrill' of bungee-jumping or skydiving or the ilk - they're unique *sensations*, and nothing more. I can get the same thing by walking around someone else's apartment blindfolded.

Adrenaline is when you write your own path through something that you couldn't predict even if you weren't writing the path. If I get threatened, but choose to keep talking. If I get hit, but I put on my brightest smile. If I hit back and try to run, but get my elbow grabbed and broken. Their pre-written narrative of "make the dumbass shut up" is lost almost immediately, and my seemingly-irrational decisions make the result[s] for both parties harder and harder to predict. That scenario is a true story, and good memories for me. Not the pain, but the emotions (joy and rage) and the fight. I wonder - what would you, from a psychiatric perspective, call me?

>>155103052
I've been there multiple times and my father worked there a lot. It's mainly nationalists who want a "free Corsica" and they used to blow up some shit every now and then and get involved in murders. Nothing on the scale of nowadays Islamic terrorism or the Communist/Anarchist terrorists we used to have though.
But I've seen business owners, etc, who obviously were involved in shady shit. Like other anon said, they don't talk about it. There's a tacit rule to not open your mouth even though everyone know what's going on.

That said I wouldn't say that the Corse mafia is that dangerous or influential, especially compared to Yakuza or Italian/Russian mafia groups.

I say let them have their independence, then laugh at them when they come back crying because they can only make money off french tourism (good luck with how corses despise people from the continent) , boar dried sausages and brocciu.

>>155097347
I wouldn't be surprised if hentai anime is the Yakuza laundering money.

>>155103204
One thing you very often find among well organized drug smugglers is that the more powerful they are, the more contempt they have for it. Especially in structures like the Yakuza or the american italian mafia, two fairly similar things that were in one way or another based off a nobility that lost its power quite suddenly and remained rigidly traditionnal : trading in drugs increases your influence and your profit margin, but all of it is strictly sold to the customer. You don't touch it yourself, only sell it.
>>155103243
>to dig in to this mafia stuff more.
You won't be able to.
Really.
No one will trust someone who isn't from the island and you will not be able to bullshit your way into convincing people you are corsican or "have roots".
>>155103530
>Marseile is the gateway to Europe for the world drug traffic.
Yes, that's why the direct sale of drugs there is a small business compared to control over the docks and the roads. Which the arabic gangs do not have. Again, this is all part of the scheme. These groups of teens shooting each other over weed and coke is a distraction to occupy the public eye while the actual big names and groups deal in much larger businesses and wealth. People who aren't involved will have much less tolerence for street thugs than they will have people who know their shit and hide their shady dealings over dozens of legal loopholes, that way when action is taken it will be against the street gangs that will always be replaced as long as there are some empoverished teens.
>>155104261
It actually isn't, because the production costs are too high compared to the sales figure, especially now that the internet is here.
Live-action porn however always had some ties with organized crime, and that pretty much happens everywhere when there is both. Low production cost, high profit margin, cloudy legal status, everything is there.

>>155099721

>>155104442
Your money won't be enough.
Again we're talking about people who pretty much do not own anything and "borrow" it all from the local family.
>What if I walked around whistling O Lu Trenu Di Bastia or Furtunatu or somesuch?
The worst thing to do, it's a typical case of "hi there fellow corsican kids".
The problem is not passing as a local, it's that outside of the couple larger cities, most of Corsica is concentrated in smaller towns and everyone knows all the old family dealings, knows who is a cousin to whom, etc. You will not be able to pass for a local because the local know each other too well to know that if there is a long lost cousin, it's because he is some sort of "continental traitor". And if you go for the "oh, I just come from that other distant part of the island" then it's gonna be worse because you'll start to get into rivalries between towns, etc.
your best bet would be to pretend being italian and even then it probably wouldn't work that well, not to mention if you get into actual dealings with them and they find out you were bullshitting, then it might not end well for you
Did I mention they control the ferrying companies that get you in and out of the island? Because they do, obviously, so when they don't want someone to leave, that person doesn't leave.

>>155104600
Do they control the planes? If they control fuel, I would imagine so, but I still ought to ask.

>>155104820
There is always Air France, which is usually fine.
I'm not too sure how much of a hand they have in airports. Pretty clearly they have small airfields in their pocket and as you said, control over the fuel, but yeah you might be able to get out through that if you can reach the airport.

The Yakuza, actually.
In their current form, a lot of organized groups in Japan precisely sustain themselves in inner areas where there is a lesser presence of law emforcment and is lower on the priority ladder due to having small population. That's where what little remaining unbuilt land Japan has, and that is an interesting market.
Also, russian and central european mobs, since they have no docks to control in the first place.
