(Edited to reflect the remainder of the season, but still more more haterating than hollerating, TBF.)

SUNNY (2024): Weird, exceptionally abrasive A24/Apple TV+ sci-fi black comedy about an entitled and resentful white American expat in Kyoto, Suzie Sakamoto (Rashida Jones), whose Japanese husband (Hidetoshi Nishijima) and young son have apparently died in a plane crash, leaving Suzie with one of his company's domestic robots (the titular Sunny, voiced by Joanna Sotomura), an irritatingly chipper, reflexively manipulative, passive-aggressive, possibly dangerous device whose cutesy CGI design suffers very serious uncanny valley problems throughout. In between clashes with her disapproving mother-in-law Noriko (Judy Ongg), Suzie stumbles into a mysterious conspiracy involving the Yakuza, accompanied by a blue-haired bartender named Mixxy (singer-songwriter annie the clumsy), who's the closest thing she has to a friend.

Adapted by Katie Robbins from a novel by Colin O'Sullivan, the show does a poor job of establishing its sci-fi conceits (homebots like Sunny are apparently fairly common, but we don't ever see any others for long enough to put Sunny's odd behavior in any perspective); Jones is unbearable in an incredibly unsympathetic lead role; and the convoluted plot (which ends on a very weak cliffhanger) can never make up its mind whether it wants to be taken seriously or not. Even after 10 episodes, it's still unclear what the show is trying to be, except that its determination to sideline its Japanese characters in favor of its grating American protagonist is very off-putting. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Mixxy is gay, although her obvious desire to get in Suzie's pants suggests that she has absolutely terrible taste in women. VERDICT: I was mildly intrigued by the odd seriocomic tone, but the muddled, frequently irritating story goes nowhere, and the focus on Suzie makes it an ordeal.

Sunny (prod. Katie Robbins).

There's a strange but sleekly intriguing immediacy to the tone of Sunny's bleakly offbeat comedic leanings. [Rashida] Jones as a lonely sad sack propels much of the A.I.-themed thriller into deftly amusing territory inspired by foreigner in Japan dramedies à la Lost in Translation with the robotic sensibilities of something like Big Hero 6.

Sunny (Season 1?) — some thoughts

Sunny (Season 1?) — some thoughts

I’ve just watched the final episode of Sunny and I have to say, for the most part, it’s a quirky but enjoyable show. One big plus for me is shorter episodes, easy to fit in here and there. As to the genre, it’s somewhere between near-future drama and science fiction. The line is very blurred. What is Sunny about? Rashida Jones as Suzie American Suzie (Rashida Jones) moved to Japan and while…

Review- Sunny Ep. 1: He's in Refrigerators

Apple TV latest offering Sunny takes place in a near-future Kyoto, Japan, where Suzie Sakamoto (Rashida Jones) struggles with profound grief and is given a domestic robot to assist her. The episode begins in an ImaTech facility where we witness a robot killing a man before it is deactivated by ImaTech personnel. We then meet Suzie, a lady who is grieving the death of her husband Masa and son Zen…

No tiene idea de como iniciar su investigación, pero cuenta con… “Sunny”

La historia gira en torno a Suzie, una mujer estadounidense que vive en Kioto, Japón, cuya vida se ve trastocada cuando su esposo y su hijo desaparecen en un misterioso accidente aéreo. Como una forma de consuelo, Suzie recibe a Sunny, uno de los novedosos robots domésticos creados por la compañía de electrónicos de su esposo.

Aunque al principio a Suzie le molestan los intentos de Sunny por llenar el vacío de su vida, poco a poco entablan una inesperada amistad y juntos inician una investigación para descubrir lo que realmente le ocurrió a la familia de Suzie, pero en el proceso se ven envueltos de manera peligrosa en un mundo que ella no sabía que existía.

Charisma House - Superhuman Sharehouse Story “Charisma” - #58 Must be sexy♥

Please read alongside listening to the drama track on Youtube.

TL note:

I believe “sleep within me” is a lyric reference to Judy Ongg’s Miserarete, with the title meaning “charmed/enchanted”.

Amahiko says “あきまへん” which is kansai dialect for “駄目です”, meaning you can’t do that/it’s no good. I replaced it with southern American slang to indicate “down there” instead.

(Sarukawa wakes up)

Amahiko: Goodmorning Sarukawa-kun

Sarukawa: WAH!

(Sarukawa falls out of bed)

Sarukawa: T-the fuck ya doin’!

Amahiko: Eh? I was admiring your cute sleeping face.

Sarukawa: HaaAAAH!?

(Amahiko sparkles)

Iori: ♪～

Iori: Huh!?

Iori: W-what are these chills I’m getting…

Iori: It feels like something extremely ominous

Iori: UWAAH! AMAHIKO-SAN! What are you doing!?

Amahiko: I was gazing at your sexy behind. It’s looking delectable as always.

Iori: YOU GODDAMN IDIOOOOOT!!

(Amahiko sparkles as Iori throws things at him)

-

Fumiya: Aaah, had my fill

Amahiko: Fumiya-san, going for an afternoon nap?

Amahiko: Here’s a blanket for you.

Fumiya: Ah, thanks.

Amahiko: Now then, let’s sleep together

Fumiya: I’m not sleeping with you

Amahiko: No need to be modest.

Fumiya: Gross. Piss off

Amahiko: Please sleep within me.

Fumiya: Amahiko.

(Amahiko sparkles)

(Ohse running for his dear life as Amahiko keeps getting in his way)

Amahiko: Fufufu…

Ohse: !

Amahiko: Nn…aaah, mnnhh…ah…ahhn…

Amahiko: Ahh….

Rikai: Amahiko-san, please refrain from making any weird sounds.

Amahiko: R-Rikai-san, t-that spot is…

Rikai: You’re doing this on purpose. Please stop.

Amahiko: Rikai-san, right there… down yonder…

Rikai: Huh?

Amahiko: Rikai-san… I said down yonder…

Everyone: Grrr……!

Sarukawa: Stop screwin’ around Amahiko!

Amahiko: Excuse me?

Iori: You’re being a nuisance!

Amahiko: A-a nuisance…

Rikai: Sensei, this is taking it too far as one would expect. No matter how many times you declare yourself as the minister of sexy affairs, your everyday conduct is far too perverted.

Fumiya: Can’t keep up with it

Ohse: It’s troubling.

Sarukawa: Don’t why yer doing this

Iori: It’s suffocating. Back off.

Terra: And everyone’s being SERIOUS here, Amahiko!

Amahiko: Y-you don’t say, to think that I was offending you all this much while everything I did was with good intentions.

Iori & Terra: GOOD INTENTIONS!? How can you even think of that!

Rikai: Amahiko-san, please comprehend where our stress is coming from.

Amahiko: I-I understand.

Amahiko: I was in the wrong here.

Amahiko: Everyone… I truly, am sorry from the bottom of my heart!

Everyone: …..

Rikai: You understood what we we’re trying to say. I’m relieved.

Sarukawa: Don’t do it again, idiot

Terra: It better be a promise, Amahiko!

Amahiko: In order to get the message of my apology across, everyone, let me show you it right here!

Everyone: Huh?

(A pole emerges from the floor)

Sarukawa: Wha-!? There’s sumn’ coming outta the floor!

Iori: A pole for pole dancing!

Amahiko: Fufufufufu, hahahaha!

Everyone: DON’T DANCE!

(Amahiko takes off his clothes)

Everyone: DON’T GET NAKED!

Terra: That’s exactly what we’ve been telling you to stop doing! You totally didn’t get ANY of it!

Amahiko: I apologized for being an inconvenience, however I, cannot keep my own libido confined.

Amahiko: I won’t let it.

Amahiko: I cherish, love sexiness. That’s more important than anything else.

Amahiko: You fail to understand? Then that’s fine.

Amahiko: You want to back off? Do as you like.

Amahiko: I live true to myself. A boring life is to be avoided.

Amahiko: As for everything, must be sexy♪

Sarukawa: I dunno what that means

Amahiko: Thank you

Iori: PERVERT!

Amahiko: Thank you

(Everyone arguing as Amahiko laughs)

Amahiko: Come at me with everything, I shall accept every and all of it!

Amahiko: For the reason that this world is magnificent-

Amahiko: ECSTASY WORLD!!!

Everyone: ….!

Rikai: He won’t waver despite being judged to this degree…? What a strong will…!

Fumiya: A man of his word.

Sarukawa: So cool

Iori: It’s kind of beautiful…

Ohse: And a little bit lewd…

Terra: !!!!!

Terra: That’s it!

Terra: THAT’S what it was!

Everyone: !?

Terra: All this time we couldn’t understand what the “minister of sexy affairs” even meant.

Terra: But now, this sight before us gave the answer!

Terra: THIS IS IT!

Terra: This form, the World Sexy Ambassador, the minister of sexy affairs, Tendou Amahiko!

Everyone: I see!

Amahiko: Now together with everyone- No, YOU over there! Let all of us perverts around the world come together!

Amahiko: Double meaning intended!

Everyone: ECSTASYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Amahiko: THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!

CHARISMA BREAK: SUCCESS

Tendou Amahiko

It’s 1:25am. I’ve spent the last four hours reteaching myself HTML and Mandarin Chinese so that I can build a Neocities website with a page that has translations of, commentary on, and links to all of the songs on my favorite Judy Ongg album. Clearly my ADHD meds are working.

Sunny — new thriller coming to Apple TV+ in July

Apple TV+ has set July 10 as the date for new series Sunny. It’s described as a 10-episode mystery thriller with a darkly comic bent, but as you’ll see below there’s a science fiction element as well. I’ve now lost count of the number of science fiction shows on the streamer — long may it continue. From the press release I learn: Created by Katie Robbins, who also serves as showrunner, and…
