The first 12 episodes of Ainori: African Journey just popped up on the US Netflix. It's like Ainori, but...in Africa this time. The first couple of episodes have been pretty good, at least, if you like Ainori. (If you've not seen it, Ainori's basic premise is that they stick 6-7 twenty-somethings into a pink bus and drive them around Asia (or, in this case, Africa) in the hopes that they find True Love with each other, all while having cultural experiences punctuated with occasional drama and wailing. For some reason I found it strangely endearing. Plus you learn stuff about different countries. Kyrgyzstan is pretty!)

Part 3 of the Batsu is subbed and out. The crew are ruthless this year, I lost it when they started doing the parody of the Yoshimoto scandal, especially Matsumoto's reaction to it since he'd been really vocal about the whole thing.

Parts 4 and 5 are out, 5 just yesterday. They really switched things up this year and the batsu has been hilarious so far. I can't believe we're only halfway through it.

People in the thread might only know her from Terrace House but there's so many people sharing stories right now of her going out of her way as a wrestler to cheer people up or make people smile, not even as part of her job or status, but just because that's who she was as a person. She was only 22, and that's the worst part about it. How many of you remember being that age and not even knowing what to do with yourself or know who you are yet? She got a lot of horrible messages online because of an episode shot months ago and just couldn't handle the abuse anymore. A lot of her friends tried to reach out to her when she initially posted images of self harm, but in her last moments she deleted the self harm images and told her friends that she was doing okay. Apparently by the time a friend reached her home, she had already passed on. It had to have been less than an hour between when she first posted her goodbyes and when someone arrived

The only surprise is that something like this didn't happen sooner. The entire show was a setup to make people look certain ways, oftentimes foolish or fail to find romance. The commentators are amusing at first but aren't exactly good people with strong knowledge of social relations. They just make increasingly sexualized comments as the seasons pass and offer less interesting perspectives with each episode. It's likely that Yama is toast. The other comedian is a crook and probably won't ever come back to the show either. So we'll return to You and maybe a few other guests casually commenting on what transpired the previous episode like a few seasons ago. Less "Konbanwa" and more "just the facts please."

I wonder if it’s because they actually are concerned for human life or if they were simply unwilling to change anything and gave a “no changes or we cancel” ultimatum.

Wasn't production already suspended because of COVID? I know there had been a few new episodes, but those were stuff that was already in the can pre-quarantine right?

I enjoyed the first couple of iterations of Terrace House (the pre-Netflix season and the first Netflix season) but it was diminishing returns for me after that. Seemed that the producer intervention and manufactured drama, which of course had always been there, became a lot more overt as the show went on. Boy, was it beautifully shot though; it looked better than a lot of mid-budget movies.

The first series was really great. Definitely went down in quality over the years though. It's my guilty pleasure so I've still been watching, I really hope it's not the end of the line. Hopefully they get some counsellors on hand though to help cast members deal with people being horrible on the internet.

Even with engineering it's still seen as very real in Japan, think The Real World in its first few seasons. Hence the hate, hence the SNS drama...

RealFoxy posted:I feel like they're hitting their end and need to pass the torch, at least Downtown, and introduce new members into the mix. I'd love the original format to return where there's a member or two behind the scenes just torturing everyone else. Downtown finally being able to torture their juniors together would be a unique twist on the No Laughing Batsu. I feel like we're just right on the cusp of a SMAP member becoming a full-time regular in the show. Yeah Documental hits a very different but somewhat familiar feeling for the above mention of the old format. I wish that we would get the other seasons of it subtitled from Amazon.

This is a long shot, I'm sure, but does anyone know of a group translating the new season of Hanzawa Naoki? I've been waiting on this for like 8 years now, and now that it's finally airing, I can't find it in English anywhere.
