Do you know good Japanese films or TV shows ? I would like to improve my listening, if you have any suggestions, it will be helpful.

Personnally I really like the movie adaptations of Death Note, but if you feel like something else, watch Ramen Girl. I've only seen the last 10 minutes (it was on tv and I was looking for something to watch) but the plot seems to be like this: girl from english speaking country comes to japan to learn how to make traditional delicious ramen from a small ramen shop. The owner of the ramen shop has a rival in making ramen and they train their new people to make ramen that the master of ramen will approve of. Since the girl doesn't speak Japanese she always/mostly talks english and the rest of the people talk always/mostly japanese, so thats a fun twist if I say so myself. May sound boring from this explanation but it really looked like a fun movie, and maybe you even learn how to make delisious ramen so you can open up your own shop. x'D

"Last Cinderella" is really funny. ^_^

"Seigi no Mikata" is also really good too. Comedy genre. It's easier to understand in terms of listening. 

Would suggest "Kawaki" or also know as "The world of Kanako" if you like a bit of thriller.
(Might be harder to understand though since they use a lot of slangs)

"Life" and "Limit" is good. They are dramas written by the same author. It's about highschool life so it's a bit more easier to understand and might relate to things you have learnt before.

Doramas are very good to learn but many doramas are exaggerated love stories, tearful stories or have a type of humour that is targeted for very specific audiences, so a busy adult might really suffer :-) watching them.

Some good doramas that do NOT fall in the categories above are:

- kekkon dekinai otoko ( http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kekkon_Dekinai_Otoko )

- anego ( http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Anego )

- oniyome nikki (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Oniyome_Nikki )

- Enka no Joou ( http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Enka_no_Joou )

- Orthros no Inu ( http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Orthros_no_Inu )

Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo It's was a comedy drama show. You can find all the 12 episodes on YT. The plot is about "gaijins" in Japan studying japanese and they day-to-day life, so the show will also teach you some things.

One more thing about the movie Ramen Girl, just watch the trailer, does a better explanation than me, and it's awesome, I think I'll go watch it right now.
