Films like Tasuma, the Fighter.

Tasuma, the Fighter (2003) reads as Warm, steady, measured comedy / veteran, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
