Rarely see japanese movies apart from the really big productions discussed here. Looking at the the general fondness of this site for japanese culture I always thought it odd. Does Yea Forums dislike jap kino for some reason?
Feel free to discuss any movies of asian origin I guess.

Japanese cinema is packed with classics, but Yea Forums never talks about classics. Modern Japanese cinema is absolutely fucking terrible due to the unwarranted influence of casting agencies, etc. Shitty celebrities who can't act are forced into roles they can't handle, and the standard of writing is just as poor.

Couple of my more recent favorites are Fish Story and The Clone Returns Home. It's actually pretty hard to find decent quality torrents of lesser known jap movies.

I love Jap movies, but there's no point discussing them on Yea Forums because the only ones people here watch are anime adaptations.

It's true that there's a lot of low budget shit produced, but many of it is direct to DVD and won't ever be shown in a cinema. There's also the fact that the japanese almost produce exclusively for the domestic market, so there are a lot of cultural aspects that will come off as odd to foreigners, without even considering the niche market. Apart from the well known and renowned classics I still think there are a lot of interesting flicks if you don't mind to filter out all the crap. If you like underground cinema, arthouse or exploitation there's also a lot of stuff 70s and 80s.
True, but take a look at AvistaZ if you aren't already on it. Registration is open right now
I guess, do you know any chan or similar site where you can discuss them? I know theres some forums but they are usually full of circlejerks or are only for mainstream shit.

This is a common excuse, but it's fraudulent. The most culturally specific Japanese cinema is the stuff that is revered globally. "Bad acting" isn't cultural. The Japanese entertainment industry is in a really bad place in terms of artistry, you have to dig deep to find stuff of value.
