The 2018 anime television series Banana Fish consists of 24 episodes. Adapted from the 1985 manga of the same name by Akimi Yoshida, the series was produced and animated by MAPPA, while development, promotion, and distribution was overseen by Aniplex. Banana Fish follows the relationship between Ash Lynx, a teenage gang leader in New York City, and Eiji Okumura, a Japanese photographer's assistant. The Banana Fish anime adaption was greenlit by Shogakukan, which published the original manga, based on a story proposal from Aniplex animation producer Kyōko Uryū. Uryū pitched the series for a 2018 release to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Yoshida's debut as a mangaka; the series would ultimately become part of a broader commemoration project to mark Yoshida's career. Each episode title references a literary work by a writer of the Lost Generation. (Full list...)
