It’s time for a little change, let’s start a new anime: I’ve watched the first episode of “Banana Fish” and I know almost nothing about it, only that it’s something criminal and with a hint of slash. Well, it jumps to the plot which seems to be very complicated: some New-York gangs, Mafia, Japanese reporters, War veterans, drugs… I’m trying to learn at least the character’s names. The main character – Ash is seventeen years old, he’s a leader of one of the gangs, a favourite (as much as it can be) of a mafia boss – “Papa” Dino and probably (as I understood from the conversations) a former Porn star. He in his turn doesn’t seem to be very fond of Papa and (Spoilers!) steals a sample of drugs from him. He has a kid-friend and a henchman – Skip. Ash tries to investigate the drug, brings it for expertise to a doctor, he also brings his brother, who’s war veteran with him claiming that he was drugged while in Iraq. In the end, he’s being interviewed by some Japanese reporters, but then Mafia (sent by Papa, for stealing the drug) and some of Ash enemies from the gang attack and kidnap Skip and one of the reporters (the one which is young and pretty, of course) and now Ash is chasing them. Woosh, that’s a lot of things to show in just one episode!
