Banana Fish Manga and Drama Compilation (Part II)

Part II.
See Part I for a brief setup of the story.

This little project of mine is an attempt to match the Banana Fish manga with the drama CD using what little knowledge I have of Japanese. As such, there will be imperfections in both media translation and my own. Making this is a slow process, so I'm not sure if/how often I'll continue it.

Notes (audio cuts and issues I had):
0:20 : In the manga Charles Dickinson is the one who greets Ibe and Eiji, not Jenkins. I'm afraid you're going to have to use your imagination on this one; there was no way around it.
2:55 : This scene is one of my pet-peeves about the drama. Little attention is given to the significance of this exchange.
6:13 : I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Shorter is the one speaking in this scene. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
7:00 : In the manga Ash plays out this scene like a cool cat, so it was hard to match his facial expressions to his voice.

And please purchase the manga if you haven't already! ^_^

Thank you sooooooooooo much for posting this!  I've been a great fan of Bananafish, and have always wanted to listen to this radio program. Please,please upload PartⅢ!

[Nyoohki]

I'm moving slow but I do hope to have Part III up soon! I'm glad you are enjoying it so far!

[ShiniRyuk]

I really enjoyed this even though I can't understand Japanese. It's very clever. What a shame that this great manga wasn't made into an anime.

[Nyoohki]

Agreed, I always thought that it would make a great anime series. Now if only the powers-that-be saw it that way...

[erzebethsalome]

Let's get together and write a patition for a Banan Fish anime. I really badly want one, too

[xXQueenBooXx]

I'd DIE if this became an anime or movie. It'd be the best movie in the world!! XD

....But they need to rewrite the ending. :C

[yukino7232]

I love BANANA FISH!

Thank you for posting this.

This great manga should be made into an anime or a movie!

[RocketJo86]

I now try to write a scene book for a movie... A Banana Fish movie *lol* Not asked for permission yet, but maybe it will become good enough and im lucky ^^

I've been wondering how to suggest Banana Fish to animation studios or anything like that. I would seriously give up my left arm for a Banana Fish anime.

I really wish they can make this into an anime. i mean every episode is just plain excitement
