Sensei!
I can’t believe this season is almost over already. This show has been really instrumental for me to get back into NMB, it’s something I can sit back and relax and enjoy. If they don’t get a 3rd season, I do hope they get something else to replace this show. I’d still love a new Naniwa Nadeshiko, or at least something in that vein.
There’s none.
There was some really strange thing in the beginning where Miru communicated in terms of flowers.
You want to talk about cultural barriers, well, there’s a huge one right there. It’s already hard enough getting used to humorous Senryu and Haiku, and now this, well…
This kid also showed up.
Haru appears and what happens is an “impromptu” manzai.
That reminds me of this one comic, Azumanga Daiou. In the beginning, they announce a transfer student is coming from Osaka. When she shows up, one of the other students starts chastising her. “You’re not really from Osaka. You don’t even have Takoyaki in your bento.” Finally, she gets the hint and says “Nande yanen,” causing the chastising student to be overjoyed at receiving a tsukkomi.
That took me forever to understand. I think I saw that episode over 10 years ago. I just understood that part 2 years ago.
It makes me wonder if people actually do this in real life.
My reaction at the lemon.
Lemon’s here but I’m still indifferent. The strange thing is that she’s actually really quite clever, always scores highs on tests, etc. It’s too bad her entertainment IQ is still very low.
Princess Monoboke!
I love improv comedy with props. I’m not sure why. I remember reading that humor had something to do with the unexpected, and I suppose that it’s a lot easier to understand when things are being used incorrectly in a completely understandable way.
There’s something about Ripopo’s reactions that are charming.
#1 joke bomber
Guess who returns for more failure…?
First she’s gotta get her prop on stage.
Way to tsukkomi the hose, lol.
I think Nana had good ideas but her execution is terrible.
There are ways to fail, and then there are ways to humorously fail, and Nana’s locked that one down.
Still, I’m hoping she figures it out one day.
We also get less story and another NMB talk.
Muro is supposedly the “sexy” one and she’s only 16.
That made me think about how strong their makeup techniques are. Again. Why can’t they look their age?
Then again, the concept of sexy in Japan is different than here in the US. I don’t completely understand or subscribe to it yet…
Fuuchan wants to be the next Shakure O’Neal
The manzai portion was okay. Again, I’m not seeing real improvement by Milky, so it does kinda seem to be trapped. The only thing NMB can do is to either get better or change up the cast so that it seems original.
Meccha Macho!
It’s funny though, whenever Milky hums a tune, it does manage to get stuck in my head. Before, it was Joy to the World.
This time, it’s Sukima Switch.
The next, and unfortunately final episode, looks godlike.
It’s like if Michael Jordan in his prime showed up at your local basketball court to play pickup.
What is the legendary Sanma doing on a 3AM idol comedy show?
I have no idea. But it’s gonna be awesome. It looks like he’s gonna up the game of everyone by so much. And I though Gotou was good.
Lastly…
Geinin Za Moooobi
It could be that I like this because it has NMB but the trailer actually does look decent and dramatic.
Who knows, though. I could be disappointed like I was with Moshidora. And that after Acchan does Moshidora her acting improves immensely. She’s awesome in Kasuka na Kanojo.
Come on Geinin movie, don’t be bad like Moshidora!
Speaking of which, I still need to watch that HA! movie version…
