60 of 93 · most liked firstDay 13 of Draw Everything June hosted by @adorkastock.com NANA & HACHI from the anime/manga Nana! I was intro'd to Nana through the live action movie. I thought they were a couple & was delighted but then watched the anime to its ending... oof. Gut punch. #DrawEverythingJune2025 #Fanart #Nana

neutral · AI labelView post →As the biggest HACHI and RIVERDALE fan, it pains me to write that Lasse Hallström‘s latest film, THE MAP THAT LEADS TO YOU starring KJ Apa, is not great. My review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:
neutral · AI labelView post →Aoi and Hachi watch a horror movie together another Monotone Blue fanart!
neutral · AI labelView post →Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand. Oysters. 🤢 Hachi. I SOBBED through half the movie. Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye. I literally change the station if it comes on. I'd rather shut the radio off.
positive · AI labelView post →Just rewatched “The Babadook” I’ll never forgive Jennifer Kent for creating one of the most scariest movies to date when it comes to the Babadook and then killing the cutest dog ever in the film. Hachi better have gotten headpats and treats for his role as bugsy ISTG
neutral · AI labelView post →Hachi: A Dog's Tale is honestly the final boss of all sad dog movies. I ran out of tears before the film had even ended and just devolved into pathetic blubbing. 😂😭
positive · AI labelView post →Hachi: A Dog's Tale – This is probably the movie that has made me cry the most.
positive · AI labelView post →9 games that make me who I am my9games.com It was kinda hard choosing only 9 Pokemon didn't make the list, which is weird, but for me (not Puck or Hachi), pokemon has more memories as an anime. I was that 10yr old singing the theme song in theaters for the 1st movie (with everyone singing too)
neutral · AI labelView post →On that note, I highly recommend the film 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' starring Richard Gere. (If you're into have-a-good-cry movies 🥹 :)
positive · AI labelView post →Aww like the movie Hachi
neutral · AI labelView post →Hachi is the American remake of a Japanese movie about Hachiko, a real-life dog whose owner passed at work and never came home. But for 10 years, until Hachiko died, he returned to the train station every day, waiting for his owner to return. This is the ending of Hachi.

neutral · AI labelView post →For all I know it could be a test of our social 'tuning'. Nearest I can get to emotions it fed is the #RichardGere vehicle "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" a film that gave us the true story of a loyal #Japanese dog #Hachikō that waited after the owner died. It's got statues! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%...
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeahhh LOL but thats why they're so adorable 🥺 It's fun when dogs knock you around imo cuz they're just excited to show their love to you lmaooo I've loved Akitas ever since I read the story of Hachi. When I watched that 2009 American movie as a kid I cried so much I puked all over myself 😭
positive · AI labelView post →If there is one movie that turns me into a crybaby for an hour, it’s Hachi: A Dog’s Tale. This story of love and loyalty pulls the heartstrings to hard. I know it’s based on a true story and knowing the real story hurts even more. We don’t really deserve pets. 😭 Hachiko was the best boy to the end
positive · AI labelView post →⤷★ Movie and DVD extras OVER Thank you to Hachi for saving the movie night and to the few other people who decided to show up. Tonight has been rough on me. Gonna be watching more old barbie movies that'll hopefully work on my end for next month. Perhaps Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper.
neutral · AI labelView post →I looked it up I'll watch it tonite alone have a good cry myself I saw a movie a long time ago called The Biscuit Eater. If you cried watching Hachi your gonna need twice the amount of tissues for this one.
neutral · AI labelView post →NEVER been to a movie alone? Hachi machi, I've been doing that since I could drive! Before even, if Uncle John and I split up to watch different movies. I actually haven't since I got to FL and I'm getting the itch. Might do this next week
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie marathon idea: •Hachi: A Dog's Tale •Grave of the Fireflies •When the Wind Blows Just 5 hours of emotional devastation 😌
neutral · AI labelView post →Thank God. Although it’s a lovely movie, I can’t recommend Hachi because my nieces were wailing at the end. Content warning: death 😭
positive · AI labelView post →2. Nana "Hachi" Komatsu - NANA I lived in Tokyo when the NANA movies and the anime came out - basically the height of the show's popularity. I was in my 20s and related to Hachi HARDCORE. In many ways I think we're very similar in our youths. (Fun fact: I was an extra in the 2nd film!!)
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw it on TV, a movie called Hachi: a Dog Tale. (A fictionalized story based around the dog of the same name.) Richard Gere’s character dying was tragic, but we kept on with Hachi, who went to the train station... I was bawling by the end fr. That kid’s homework was his grandad’s dog. 😭
positive · AI labelView post →I love that movie Hachi. 😭🤧
positive · AI labelView post →Hachi. If you love dogs, this movie is going to leave you in a puddle of your own tears. I have owned three dogs and walked 101 more. I'm not set up to watch this without balling up in the corner. Never again. Looooove Richard Gere flicks enough to ignore that the lead guy should have been Japanese.
positive · AI labelView post →Hachi: A Dog's Tale. First time I sobbed during a movie (I was 10) and I still cry just talking about it. The fact it's based on a real story doesn't help
positive · AI labelView post →127.) COMPLETE - Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey Been in a horrid mood lately so I'm back on my bullshit. Decent movie. Solid central idea executed well, but Hachi and his crew felt underdeveloped, and it feels very predictable even by kids film standards.

positive · AI labelView post →Handed the remote in a bar in New Orleans I changed it to a channel that said “Movie” and within 20 seconds I identified it was Hachi: A Dog’s Tale and who was in it and Lasse Hallström directed it and the poor bartender couldn’t care less.

neutral · AI labelView post →Richard Gere and “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” was an excellent movie that portrays what an animal friend experiences. Sadly, lots of people explained Hachi’s behavior due to his breed.
positive · AI labelView post →Wooju Bakery - OK you know what that did not need ot be 8 episodes long, even 8 25 minute episodes. Could have been a 2 hour movie. Tighten and simplify the plotline, keep characterization consistent, it's not like Hachi and Ace got any screentime anyway.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have seen Sophie's Choice and this cry baby went through a box of tissues. Hachi, a must see fim. I guarantee you'll love this movie. It's made for you.
positive · AI labelView post →the obvious thing is runtime. that they really only get to Hachi dating Nobu by movie 2. The music is higher profile -- Mika Nakashima! Glay! Hyde! Lyrics by Ai Yazawa! but also its also worse than the anime. they aren't bad in any way, just not that much
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me of the movie Hachi starring Richard Gere.
neutral · AI labelView post →No I haven't read the book, I don't think I can handle it!! I'm still in trauma from watching the movie Hachi😩

neutral · AI labelView post →Don't watch the movie Hachi. It broke me.
positive · AI labelView post →I know it's 15 years old but I just watched it. If you've never seen the movie "Hachi" I . . . It's good, you should see it but I'll just tell you now - you are SO not ready for the feels.
