"Bedtime story" - (A Ring-Misstress fanfic fanfic)

Pomni found herself walking towards her room, not just alone, but with a child holding her hand. But it was all by choice (mostly). She and Caine now had a mission to raise this small AI. She herself was surprised just how motherly she could be.

[So, I get to sleep in the big bed with you??]

♧Just untill Caine and I can design your own bed. Here, go ahead and look around!♧

The Ring-Misstress opened up the door with her face on it.

This was Voz's first time in his new mother's room. Well- his first time in the circus at all! His first day existing! The moment he stepped in to look around, something immediately caught his eye.

Up on a small desk beside the bed stood a small plushie. A chubby yellow and green alligator with a cowboy hat. Sitting on the edge of the desk with its arms and legs stretched straight out in front of him.

Voz had to jump but successfully obtained the plush from its spot. Pomni noticed him and chuckeld.

♧I see you've met my friend Gummigoo.♧

[Is that his name??]

♧Yup. Named him after an old friend of mine. I got him as a gift! My most prized possession!♧

[Really?? Woah...]

Voz looked up at Pomni and back down at the Gummigoo in his hands. Pomni pulled out a replica of Caine's WackyWatch.

♧Welp, let's get you and Gummi to bed. Caine says you gotta recharge.♧

She picked him up, still with the plush in his hands. As she tucked him in, his little artificial mind couldn't help but stay curious.

[Mama, you said he's named after an old friend. Who??]

♧Yesh, it's quite a long story... you sure??♧

Pomni teased, knowing this was most likely a lure to get him to stay up longer.

[Yes yes yes please tell me everything!!]

Voz squealed with excitement, wanting nothing more but to learn about his mother and the world around him.

♧Alright, alright, I guess a little bedtime story wouldn't hurt. Well, it all started the second day I joined the circus...♧

*Insert Pomni's POV from episode 2 (you already know what happened) ok back to the story*

[Papa did WHAT!?]

He squezzed Gummigoo as right as he could.

♧Mhmm.♧

Pomni nodded. It was a whole lot for Voz to take in. "But... if that happened the day after Pomni and Caine met, then... how are they still friends??"

[So... you weren't mad at him..?]

♧Oh no, I was really mad At him for a LOOOOOOONG time. Untill one day...♧

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Caine stood in midair, confused why the Jester was so blind by rage.

☆Pomni... I- I don't understand... he was just some old NPC of mine! Why are you so... upset-☆

♧OF COURSE YOU DONT UNDERSTAND YOU HEARTLESS PEACE OF SH-♧

The Ringmaster crossed his arms with an exaggerated expression on his face. Still oblivous to the issue at hand.

☆Hey, hey! There's no need for such language!May I remind you that The Amazing Digital Circus has a very strict family-friendly Policy-☆

♧I DON'T CARE ABOUT SOME STUPID @#! POLICY!! YOU'RE A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A RINGMASTER! YOU DIDN'T EVEN HESITATE TO SNAP HIM OUT OF EXISTENCE!! I JUST WANTED TO HELP HIM AND NOW HE'S- ...he's...♧

Pomni suddenly stopped. Small sniffles escaped her as she stormed off to who knows where.

A few hours passed, and there was no sign of Pomni. Caine had asked all the other performers for any information, but they either didn't know or didn't care to help him.

He was digitally heartbroken. He somberly floated around the circus tents interior. Pomni would probably never look him in the face ever again. He just wanted to get to know his new performer. He genuinely didn't know what he had done wrong. If he could just try to find her and talk things out...

Then, he heard what sounded like Pomni sobbing in the distance.

☆Well, that's oddly convenient.☆

He followed the sound and turned the corner to see that it was, in fact, Pomni. She sat on the floor with her knees to her chest and her head buried in her hands to cry. He called for her, but she didn't answer and stayed in the same position.

The ringmaster let out a defeated sigh as he descended to the ground to sit beside her.

☆Hey...☆

He scooted a little closer, so he was heard. This was probably the quietest Pomni had ever heard him.

☆I know I probably haven't been doing my best, but-☆

☆I just want you to know that I'm trying.☆

☆I really am.☆

☆and I'm sorry if I've screwed it all up.☆

☆I am so, very sorry, my dear...☆

He thought about the argument they had. That NPC really did make her happy. More than he ever could. But he took it away from her. He's supposed to make his members happy, and he took away the ONE thing that brought her joy. She was right... What a sorry excuse of a Ringmaster...

At this point, he, too, was on the brink of tears.

Pomni finally looked up. She saw that he really was being genuine. But still salty, she got up and faced away from him, crossing her arms.

Caine also got up. He began to speak again, trying to be a bit less quiet.

☆Oh... I see... B-but I still wanna make it up to you! I... I realized how much your NPC friend made you happy. And I really wanted to keep it that way. I was really hoping we could... start over. So... I made this!☆

He snapped his fingers, and Pomni's hands spawned a little plush replica of her gummy gator friend. She slowly turned to look at Caine again. He was looking down, fidgeting with his hands. He quickly stopped once he realized that she was looking at him.

Pomni looked back at the plush, then back up at Caine. Her eyes were watering, and her mouth began to quiver. Caine's expression of worry returned, and he began fidgeting again.

☆O-oh... oh my you- you're crying again... I wasn't sure if this would help, but it looks like I have my answer. ...I suppose I'll see myself out now-☆

Pomni leaped towards Caine and wrapped her arms around him. For a moment, Caine froze. This was the first time someone had hugged him willingly, so though unexpected, he still returned it.

♧Thank you Caine. You're still kind of an awful ringmaster, but I forgive you...♧

☆Does this mean we can start over..?☆

Pomni nodded. Even though made out of teeth, you could still make out a huge smile on Caine's face. She couldn't help but giggle at his attempts to keep his cool.

♧Heheh, let ME be the ringmaster for a day why don't ya?♧

She joked through her now happy tears. Caine caught on and laughed along with her.

☆Ha! You'd probably do a better job than me!☆

♧Pfft, no kidding!♧

The pair laughed together for the rest of the evening.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♧And that's how me and Caine became friends! And how i git one of my favorite gifts! I thought you're father just wanted to hurt us but turns out... he's actually... really sweet. Uh- So... what do you-♧

Pomni was brought back to the present moment, smiling down at Voz who was fast asleep, hugging the Gummigoo plush.

Perhaps there was more than one prized possession Caine had given her...

Writer: Nishioka Maiko Translation by: Sophie // Proofread by: Mirei

NOTE: I EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT USAGE OF ANY PART OF MY TRANSLATIONS ON ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO AI.

This story is fully voiced in-game! You should read while listening to it~

Episode 8: After School Rumble!

< A lot of things have happened since then but… one day amidst their normal everyday life— >

Hajime: (Let’s see… Which one of these should I pick…)

(Don’t think of this as just a measly seat change! My beloved comfortable school life lies on this blind draw! Of course I’ll be fired up!)

Airi: He~y. Earth to Hajime~ There are still people waiting behind you, you know? You’re taking this wa~y too seriously.

Hajime: Ah, sorry sorry~ I just don’t know which ones will have good or bad placements, so I'm just at a loss on which one I should pick.

Airi: Well, I feel you~ I wish I’ll get a seat at the very back near the window. Perfect spot for an aftie nap!

Hajime: Aftie nap? Hold up, you’re not planning to live off my notes right before exams again, are you?

Airi: Teehee~ ☆

Hajime: Don’t give me that~ Take your notes properly at least, please.

Airi: Yes ma’am~ But anyway. Go, go! Just pick one already.

Hajime: I can sense an ominous result… Well, whatever.

Hm… Okay, let’s do this one!

Let’s see. Seat number 14…

Number 14… Number 14… Ah, it should be this one. Right beside me is…

Miki: ……

Hajime: (K-Kurose-kun?! Are you kidding me?! Why did I pick a seat beside him, of all places?! What to do… he looks like he’s in a really bad mood. This is awkward…)

……... [ Her gaze is darting all over the place. ]

Miki: ……...

Hajime: (Oh God. Our eyes just met.)

Miki: …… (Glares.)

Hajime: (Eeeek–?! H-He’s so scary! Do you really have to glare at me like that?!)

Miki: What? Quit staring.

Hajime: S-Sorry…

(Ugh. Do I really have to be seatmates with him, of all people?)

(I bumped into him twice the other day because I was so clumsy. I'm sure it left a bad impression on him. And I’m pretty sure he hates me.)

(But now that I remember it, I wasn’t able to properly apologize to him for that, right?)

(Being beside him is the perfect chance to do just that. I wonder if me being seatmates with him is some sort of divine help from God…)

Mm. Okay, let’s do this.

U-Um, Kurose-kun!

Miki: …What?

Hajime: (visibly flinches)

(No, no. Don’t be a coward, self!)

The other day, I… I was so clumsy that I ended up bumping into you twice, so I’m sorry for that. And well, I wasn’t able to properly apologize for that so it always bothered me…

…T-That’s all.

Miki: ……

Hajime: (I’m so ready to be told off but… this silence is so unnerving…)

Miki: Don’t mention it. I mean, I have my own share of carelessness too, so, my bad, I guess...

Hajime: Huh…?

(Um… Did I hear that right? Is he really apologizing..?)

Miki: …You didn't get hurt after that, right?

Hajime: (Uh… I’m not sure I follow but… did he really notice me?)

Nope! I’m all fine and dandy! I’m not that fragile.

Miki: Hm. Then that’s good.

Hajime: ...Hehe~

Hajime: (I thought Kurose-kun is a scary guy but… maybe he’s actually kinder than what he shows.)

-----

[ School bell rings. ]

Airi: Hajime~ Let’s go home together—

Oh, hold on. Why do you still have your notebook and pen case with you? Not going home yet?

Hajime: Ah, sorry. I’m gonna hit the library today so you can go ahead first.

Airi: Library?

Hajime: Yup. I thought I should get my part in the group work done and over with. It’s hard to do it without references, so I have to stop by there.

Airi: Oh, that thing~ I’m in charge of compiling everything in place, so I can't really do my part if everyone won't be there.

Welp, guess I should leave you to it. I’ll go ahead now~ Bye bye~

Hajime: Mhm. Bye bye!

-----

— And, there we go. That should be enough references.

Okay, let’s get this over with~

(Flipping through the material.)

(I wonder if this layout makes it more pleasing to the eyes… Or maybe this one?)

Hm…

Eiki: I think this one is better.

Hajime: Eh?

Eiki: ……... ♪

Hajime: N-Nakaouji-kun!

Eiki: Shh. We’re in the library. Look, the librarian is shooting us daggers.

Hajime: Ah, I’m sorry…

(whispering) And um, what brings you here?

Eiki: I saw you deep in your thoughts and contemplating quite hard, so I thought you’re stuck in making some sort of decision. Was I wrong?

Hajime: Well, um, you got that right, but… what I meant is what are you doing here?

Eiki: Oh. I was doing my own research for something when I saw you, Koino-san. And then I just thought I’d make myself comfortable and sit beside you.

I know I should’ve asked this before I just sat down, but… do you mind if I join you?

Hajime: .........

(Wait, wait, hold on! Be still, my heart!)

Eiki: Is that a no?

Hajime: Oh no! N-Not at all!

(But oh God I don’t think my heart is ready for this! The right side of my body feels completely frozen with him right beside it!)

Eiki: I’m glad to hear that. Well, I’ll continue making myself comfortable.

Oh? Your group picked this particular era to talk about? This seems like one of the eras that didn’t have that many major events, isn’t it?

Hajime: Is that right? Well, it was a unanimous decision between all of us, so I haven’t given much thought about it. But now, I’m realizing that I don’t know a thing about this era at all, so I’m kinda regretting just going with everyone’s flow.

I think we’re the only ones who chose something like this. I’m pretty sure the others picked more popular eras out there.

Eiki: Come to think of it, Miki said something about discussing the announcement of Edo’s end.

Hajime: Miki..? Are you referring to Kurose-kun? You guys are close?

Eiki: Yes. Well, we’ve been neighbors since we were children. I guess it’s more appropriate to call it being basically just stuck with each other because of that very fact. Ah, you spelled that one wrong.

Hajime: Oh, you’re right. Thanks for pointing that out. I see, so you guys are like that. It must be nice to have a childhood friend~ I wish I had something like that too~

How about you? Which era did you guys pick?

Eiki: We’ve chosen the Sengoku period. For some reason, the samurai freaks have gathered in our group. They’re all raring to map out the old Japan during wartime.

Hajime: Ahaha. Oh gosh, what’s up with that? But hey, it sounds really exciting.

Eiki: Doesn’t it? Even I am starting to look forward to it.

Hajime: Um…

Eiki: Hm?

Hajime: If it’s okay, can I ask for more of your advice on whether my work makes sense or not? Ah, but it’s okay if you can’t! I don’t mind!

Eiki: Fufu. You really didn’t have to be so formal about that. But to answer your question: sure, if you’ll have me.

Hajime: Thank you.

Ep 6 empty mugs and jealousy

Well... Hm. I'm angry at mugs.

More sugar daddy shopping. Belts? Mahasamut, you innocent darling... He doesn't want them for you. The writer needs his bedroom inspiration, and he's thinking of a belt.

Rak is actually pretty cheery. Hm. Yes, I completely agree that he looks adorable.

JEALOUSY?! Hungry? Two scoops? Wah. DONT LIE TO ME THERE WAS NO WATER IN THERE! NONE. Also that mug is iconic. I want it but it looks small for the amount of tea I drink.

Shh.. not yet.. now you may speak

That was a good move, Mahasamut. You listen if they want to tell first. Brilliant. And wishing for someone's misery, heh. I really like his character. So far, other than abandoning the town that relies on him, there isn't much fault with him. Oh and Rak's heart eyes.

OH cousin! Wow... i want to be his mom. the money part not the getting cheated on. and... being obsessed with a complete ass. wow. abusive too. MAME ENOUGH WITH THE TRAUMA. As easy and terrible of a man like this sounds, to the point that this is unbelievable... I know some of my friends with this sort of background. So yeah. Yeash. And being called annoying when crying.. yup. been there. Next.

I feel like that the bratty cousin is going to be forgiven by the end of this. ONLY 14 MINUTES THROUGH? Jeez MAME. Ok. That hug was cute.

So i respect the hustle of a bunch of friends getting the inside scoop on an author's latest work, I'd be guilty of that too. However, if it wasnt at Mook's expense. Poor girl.

Ok this was also adorable.

but that steel beam must be uncomfortable. aaaand there goes the adorableness. HHAAHHAAHAHAHAHA! oh hello friend. Oh... wait... Did Rak change his pants? OI CONTINUITY STAFF!

my guy.... Khom... you were bought too. I read your book. Dont play coy.

Also

Yes Rak. Send it to Connor and have him come fetch his hubby. THERE IT IS! JEALOUSY! OOOOHHH!! Hydro turbines! Go green energy! (at least what i think they are)

oh. oohohohoh Connor... Oh Connor. You bitter jealous bastard. Who does Rak hug when he has writer's block. ahahaahahah! IF he is going to show up, I want the awful blond hair. YOU HEAR ME MAME?! Give me the full cringe.

That fight was cute but immediately i was distracted by this terrible interior design.

VIE IS MANIPULATING AGAIN. WAH! WAH! Her acting is very convincing. Ah kantoi. A hug? I really want to hate Vie here, but I do admire her manipulation tactics.

Mahasamut, why are you wearing a jacket around the house, near water? BINGO!! A CHILD! HEY NO DISRESPECTING MY MINT CHOCOLATE! YES. MEENA. I AGREE WITH YOU. YOU ENJOY THAT MINT CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM! DONT LET ANYONE DISRESPECT OUR FLAVOUR.

Oh. yeah. Escape that deadass grandpa.

Oh they are going to get interrupted again. Mahasamut, I suggest you put your phone somewhere other than your trousers pocket. That was quick coffee making. AGAIN THERE IS NOTHING IN THAT CUP!!! WHY JUST FILL IT UP WITH SOMEHTING ITS PISSING ME OFF! I WAS GOING TO GIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT THAT HE DIDNT MAKE IT THATS WHY IT WAS SO QUICK BUUUUTTTT NOOOOOOOO

THAT MUG IS EMPTY!

OH THAT IS FUNNY. One always thinks its best to give people space, so afraid of disappointing someone while the other cant stand being left alone. HAH!

yeahp. RAk. Mood.

ehheheheh kid's got attitude. Oh brililiant attitude. Ok. Meena is favourite character. and she is emotionally intelligent. I'm completely Meena here. She is so expressive too!

Yeah... and the music change... welp. Sorry but where is the prep? We end it like that then? Sure.

What the hell do they keep pointing at?

And so now I realize, this is going to get worse. Today's ep was a little sweet. Soft. Comforting even. Rak's character development is back, it will go again next episode because of his cousin. His cousin, by the way, I do not like but I think there is going to be some sort of Oh, can i say it? Tong level redemption arc™️. And by arc, I mean a 2 degree curve because her character is shallow and close to pointless when the giggolo father plot exists. A little disappointed with this week's bingo, but alas.

A Boy Named Roxanne

Ship: None (technically)

Word Count: 459

Summary: An introductory fic for my KOTH s/i and I suppose a hypothetical cold open for their introductory episode. CWs for alcohol & smoking mentions.

Tag List: @canongf

Hank and his friends, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer, were in their usual spot, hanging out in front of Hank’s house and enjoying cool cans of beer. Down the road, they could see a moving van pulling into one of the driveways.

“Another new neighbour? That’s almost two in one year,” Bill commented.

“I bet they’re trying to replace us with a new, hip group so they can make more money off of them young fools,” Dale mused conspiratorially.

“Welp, it’s our duty as good neighbours to make sure they feel welcomed. And hopefully there won’t be any misunderstandings like there were with Khan,” Hank suggested, leading the group down the sidewalk.

“Is that a hearse in the driveway??” Bill asked cautiously.

“That’s pretty spooky stuff but I dunno maybe he works for some dang ol’ funeral parlour, I tell you what. Can’t judge a book by its cover and all that.” Boomhauer suggested. The driver’s side door of the hearse opened and faint music could be heard. Tonight... I wanna give it all to you... In the darkness... there’s so much I wanna do...

A black boot lowered onto the concrete and a short man with a shoulder-length wolf cut stepped out, a cigarette dangling from his pouty lips and his eyes obscured by exaggerated black sunglasses. Hank gulped at the sight. The man reached back into his car to turn off the radio and closed the door with his hip before lightning his cigarette. The glare of the sun bounced off of his lighter and briefly blinded the four men. The man looked up quickly as they made various complaints.

“Shit, sorry, didn’t see you there.” He smoothly closed the cap on his lighter and placed it in his pocket before blowing smoke into the air. “Can I help you fellas?”

“We’re uh, from down the way,” Hank gestured, “we wanted to welcome you to the neighbourhood, Mr...?”

“Rox Rogers.”

“‘Rocks??’” Bill asked. Rox flashed a fox-like smile.

“As in ‘Roxanne,’ but that’s not much of a man’s name... some might say, anyway.” An awkward pause. “I’m going to guess you don’t see a lot of folks like me around here, hm?”

“And we better not see any more of you,” Dale started, “You won’t be replacing me anytime soon.”

“Replacing...?”

“Don’t mind him, that’s just how he is. Anyway, I’m Hank, this is Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer.”

Rox nodded and greeted them respectfully, then turned his head to observe the moving team. “Excuse me one second...” He began jogging after a man with a box, “Hey, I don’t mean to be rude, but can’t you read?! ‘This way up,’ I’ve got fragile bones in there!”

“Did he say... Bones...?” Bill had gone slightly pale.

“Yup,” Boomhauer answered.

Alright here some of my thoughts for the beginning of Preacher season 3 -still insomnia posting.

What the hell is wrong with his Granma? Also this whole family sucks -except Jesses mom it seems.

Episode one- Jesse deals with things with violence and making questionably deals -worse than usual. Also. Half dead woman’s dark magic to bring back the dead.

Tulip backstory- it’s fucked up and sad! She just wanted to eat her cereal.

Cass is very done and tbh very fair at this point.

Protip. Don’t eat things a weird mean old witch gives you. Don’t do it. (No idea how that’s gonna pan out tbh but I’d wager on it being bad)

…or give them your spit. Don’t do it.

So. I don’t think the resurection spell really worked? She really was ready to go “fuck this asshole” until god sent her back. (Hilarious.)

…if she has to choose one of these men I’d advise on Cass tbh. (Based off the spoilers I have I believe it now gets even more love Trianguly and tbh I’m still on horses the ot3, the messiness makes it more fun)

Episode 2: Jesse tries to salvage things. Unfortunately he also makes very bad choices

Hey they sent him to school! Oh no this vice principle is the fucking worst. “She’s a junior” and your an adult man, with a wife. Stop it.

Oh it’s the soul extracter! For the family soul extraction business.

Don’t worry Tulip sure god will send you some horrifying visions. (Srsly he’s more interested in you then… seemingly anyone else looking for him)

“Who’s Jenny” -this is why they were leaving you Jesse! Truly paying no attention to them at all.

Tbh. My main feeling whenever the Grail or Star show up at this point is “these guys again really”? Yes I get it they are part of the plot as the antagonists and whatever but… do we hav to see this much of them? Doing whatever this is supposed to be? (Imagine if the Hare Krishna’s had managed to just take them out.)

Yes Jesse, Tulip is fine other than you are now captives of you’re frankly evil Gran’ma who doesn’t seem keen on letting anyone go

What the hell is happening with Cass and the smaller uncle? I’m not opposed I’m… I’m weirdly curious. (Later me- well. That’s not good. Avoid that uncle)

Yup and there’s the god visions coming back. (For all the sense they make)

I must admit from what I’ve seen of the uncles… Gran’ma just desperately trying to make Jesse her heir and legacy I get it. It’s not much but… we’ll I get it. Still evil.

I’m sorry it’s so funny that this show has a vampire and they are just like “wear covering clothes an carry and umbrella in broad daylight. That’s works!”

Oh right the fucking grail idiots are here. Also. You wait to shoot them right beside the swamp so you don’t have to carry them.

Lmao. Tulip has not gotten the memo about Jesse and Cass really breaking up hard.

Does the Grail teleport?! How the hell is Starr here?!

Welp. This is all going to shit.

Well Jesse is gone again. This time leaving the other two in an even worse situation! (Lol. Tulip and Gran’ma have foiled that in record time.)

Ill be the first to say people can change but they have to take the first step and demonstrate a willingness to do so and… so far there is not sign that’s gonna happen anytime soon with Jesse unless someone actually introduces a consequence he can’t easily overcome.

Great a weird clean murder dungeon.

[thewanderingmask]

oh hey is it time to go watch old media until the writer's strike is over

welp here's my list, i highly recommend adding onto it or making your own

sit-coms

Better Off Ted (office comedy about a pretty decent guy who manages the R&D department of your standard big capitalist (evil) company. absurd, sincere, and blessedly not nihilistic.)

Golden Girls (four older women living together. openly touched upon topics like gay people are human beings actually and so are people without houses. and this was in the 80s.)

Murphy Brown (Reporter/news presenter workplace comedy. i like eldin)

WKRP (set in a radio station, this one is a pain to find unedited anywhere because of music licensing nonsense)

Designing Women (i haven't actually watched much of this yet but i heard it's pretty good so i'm listing it here in hopes i'll remember to check it out)

british panel / comedy shows (ok so they're like game shows, except the prizes range from useless to nonexistent, all the contestants are comedians, and nobody really cares that much who wins. ,fair warning though, these are british. so you're just gonna get a certain amount of jokes that are like "yup an old cishet white dude sure did write that")

Would I Lie to You (contestants make ridiculous claims and the opposing team has to guess if it's real or not)

8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown (not "8 out of 10 Cats". not "Countdown". specifically "8 out of 10 cats does countdown". yes this is important)

Taskmaster (five contestants perform a series of increasingly silly tasks to try to score points)

Big Fat Quiz of the Year / Decade (a series of long quiz specials where comedians often fail, intentionally or otherwise, to answer questions)

crime/detective/spy shows (cw copaganda. bc that's the entire genre)

Columbo (did you know it's ALL on the internet archive? for FREE?)

Simon and Simon (private investigators who are also brothers, a bit more on the fun side. pretty good for the 80s, but be warned you're still gonna get some dopey tropes like ableism in certain episodes.)

Rockford Files (ex-convict PI. doesn't like guns, friends with his dad. cynical but can't help helping people most of the time. we love to see it. like the two above, it's older but it holds up)

Brooklyn 99 (much like columbo, everybody already knows this one)

Burn Notice (recent ex-spy stuck in miami tries to get his job back. an unfortunate amount of ogle-y filler shots. I liked the first 4 seasons and low key recommend stopping after it, but everybody's mileage varies.)

and finally, because i know who i a:

cartoons

Motorcity (what if the only answer to an oppressive conformist society was UNDERGROUND TEENS WITH CARS and it looked AMAZING and it was KILLED AFTER 20 EPISODES BECAUSE THERE IS NO GOD)

Storm Hawks (what if the only answer to a returning evil empire was SKY TEENS WITH AIRPLANE MOTORCYCLES, side note this is like the only time i've ever seen stylized 3D animation in a way that just looks? good?? i would love to see more stuff try this kind of direction instead of aiming for anime or realism)

Generator Rex (a teen with TRANSFORMING MUTANT MACHINE POWERS fights alongside a kinda sus organization to try to save others who have transformed into dangerous mutants. i haven't finished this one and im not a fan of the monkey character but dam this show kinda slaps)

Teen Titans (TEEN SUPERHEROES. i have a soft spot for this show. it was my first superhero show as a kid and still mostly holds up as good fun)

Spectacular Spider-Man (spider-man has a lotta cartoons by now but this is up there near the top i feel)

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (it's PRETTY it's CUTE it's FUNNY and only has a few episodes i would outright skip. i stopped enjoying it by the last couple seasons but i still think it's worth a watch if you haven't yet)

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD WATCH THIS SHOW DEAR GODS IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE IT'S SO MUCH FUN AND I LOVE MY IDIOT SONS SO MUCH AND THEN IT PUNCHES YOU RIGHT IN THE EMOTIONS WHEN YOU AREN'T EXPECTING IT-)

and Bluey. watch Bluey.

AIGHT THAT'S IT FOR NOW honestly i could add more to this but my memory ain't that good

✨enjoy✨

Dark Angel Reaction: 411 on the DL

Jezebel (@typicalopposite) reacts [with occasional asides by Wench (@scripted-downfall)]

I don’t sleep much 🥴🥴 They are human, woman.  They need sleep

Jesus, glad I’m not epileptic [I didn't see a warning, that's for sure]

Le gasp COPS

Asssss hole coppps

["how's a girl supposed to get home?" I get the actually point she was making, but also... Chick, you're a supersoldier.  Figure it out fjsksks] 

I still maintain the twirling baby is odd  [You haven’t come to love the revolving baby yet?]

[TONY! ...Wait :)]

BRUH.  I LOOKED DOWN RIGHT WHEN HE PULLED OUT THE SANDWICH.  IT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE A SANDWICH  [That's called a baguette, dear, but also.  Awkward.  Also, I thought you were "bruh"ing because of the button itself dhsjsk]

Now you can see why seeing him play stoic serious was odd  [‘Tis true.  He's got some snark, but nowhere near the same]

I’m pretty sure Tony has an ex wife too iirc  [Huh]

Not his chi

Oooof.  Marital issues.  I thought she was being rude at first, like "you were the last I was thinking of", but I see it’s not

Gah damn that a lot a money  [Yup. That's a lot now, much less in this universe.  But it does bear mentioning: a motorbike called Nirvana seems awesome]  Those fucking places suck.  I had a car impounded after a wreck  [Damn]

[Wdym, you let everything slide off you like water?  No, you don't, Max; you bitch about everything]  😂😂😂😂

“I hear ya sista but you don’t hear me”

Wait, is herbal gay?  I’m relistening to that lol

No I misheard.  He said my woman; I thought he said my ol’ man.  I was like wooooot

[She sounds so whiny too, just saying.  Like, I get the point, and I'd agree, but also.  "I don't want a used bike, wah"]

Does Normal ever smile before Alec lol  [No.]  ☠️☠️☠️

A SMILE  [Okay, that was a half smile, but like.]  well  [Not the same]  Smilette

Suspicious blonde boy look like suspicious blonde kid.  Watch Sam be Zach or one of them

Can you scan the barcodes?

“It’s like opening up the paper and seeing my panties”  I don’t think that would be the same ma’am

Lintlicker

[Oh, look, this time Max is the jealous one]

[His hair is so spiky]

What did she say?  “Lookey?”  [It was whatever nickname Valerie used on the phone.  Loogey, is my guess]  W-why is that his nickname  [Idk, my dear]

And he can’t turn it off ☠️☠️☠️

Jealous Max ☠️☠️

If I was him I would run over her damn toes

[Why do so many of these episodes have the premise "Max needs x amount of money before y person leaves the state and has to do z bad thing to get it.”]  Right? 😂😂😂  [We’ve got this one, then “Proof of Purchase,” then “Borrowed Time.”  And that’s just off the top of my head.]

So now she needs 18000

Is that Taika?  [I WONDERED THAT!  I've been wondering that for days] That is not taika  Lol  [Djdjsjsksk Good to know]  Boooo I was excited

😂😂☠️☠️ love the speech  [Fjjsksks I love Herbal]  Sameeee

Wait did herbal leave?  Like, leave leave?  [He's allegedly been fired, but idk if it lasts] Ahh, I see  [Max has been fired like 50 times]

[Okay, Normal is being a bit suspicious with.  Sam.]  ☠️☠️☠️☠️

Cheer up!

Oooooop Jealoussss  [Accurate]

[Not quiet, not sweet, etc.  But also, sweeter than Max]  Nice…er than you bitch

“Great body”  😂☠️☠️☠️☠️

["by the grace of God" fjdjksksk]

Oh no she didn’t just pop up on them like that!  Howwwww rudeeeeee

– – –

Here, Wench’s Internet decided to go out, so her responses were done after the fact and blended in subsequently.  Thus, this is also true for anything Jezebel responded to her with.

– – –

Oooooo! Angryyyy Max

Oh nooooo, his womannnnn.  Fuck Winston! 

“Wiiinston!  *shakes head*”  I love Herbal!

A dog!  [Makes sense it’d growl given her feline genes, but not quite clear on how/why it stopped]  ☠️☠️☠️ that’s what I thought

BRUH ☠️ all that and the box only had $2  [I do have to ask a) why tf she thought there’d be much money in the unsecured box there and b) why she didn’t steal the $2, but oh, well.]

Welp, impound man: you have been bamboozled

Clint linklicker ‘sigh’  [That guy working under him looks like Elias from Person of Interest.]

[“We’ll be there” Bro, you’ve been there every time she showed up in the past.  You just can't catch her because you… suck.]  Like.  I just can’t even 😂😂😂

[“That young man is worth the rest of you bums put together” Sir, your worship is showing again.  I swear, he says that exact same sentence about Alec.  I’m noticing a trend.]

So what is this, post apocalyptic Amazon?  I’ve been meaning to ask that this whole show  [You mean Jam Pony?]  Ye  [Yeah, basically.  It's a delivery service. Not really a corporation though.]

Like I get them being angry but they don’t have to be mean to dumb blonde man  Sammy boy is struggling to ride a bike, friend

She stuffed gum in the money hole

“A butterfly farted in India”  ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

– – –

An update on Wench’s adventures with Internet:

Google search: "how do you connect to wifi"

Google answer: "go to this link"

Link: "this link won't work in chrome; go to this safari link for help"

The Safari link in question: "sorry, you're not connected to the internet"

Wench: WTAF, HOLY HELL, OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS, JUST- @K$#$*&@(RJ#&$R)(#$*(*@)(*@$)(@$

Jezebel: ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

– – –

Long-after-midpoint reaction:

Well, first I felt a little pity for Max cause they stole her bike, and then the guy’s potentially scamming her.  I’m guessing he’s gonna get dead, btw, if he’s going against Lintlicker.  (Which is a saved word in my phone now lol)

But her little hissy fit over Logan’s ex… Hmph.  Like. WOMAN.  Either you want him or you don’t.  (Which is so much like Ziva you will seeee omg).

Also HERBAL! Buddy! Kick Winston and ya woman out! That’s not good!

And then there’s Ken doll. ☠️☠️ who seems like discount Alec even though Alec isn’t even on yet, just because he has Normal drooling over him

– – –

WHY YOU SO MEAN TO THE DUMB BLONDE BOYYYY

“Weeenston”

Oh nooooo, the sunburn  [He looks. Orange.]

Oh nooo x2 the ring mark

Yussssss the double crossing.  She seemed so nice.

They aren’t even really kissing wtf is this ☠️☠️  They are mouthing the air around each other’s mouths  ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Well.  Guy (Vogelsang) got dead

[Ma’am does not understand subtlety; she legit stares, frightened, at the Manticore guys, then suspiciously runs away.  THEY LOOK FOR THAT KINDA THING.]

[“Vogelsang was dead and Lydecker was there; that’s enough for me” Ma’am, wot. Illogic at its finest.]

He’s fine

Have you ever been able to? Lol

Oh shit that’s gonna be a thing (her telling about the ex)

WHATTTTTT DID I SAY?  I CALLED IT 

Now dumb blonde is less dumb ☠️☠️☠️  I love it

Did he know she was her?  [idk, I’ll let you know when I rewatch]

What is that run?  ☠️☠️☠️☠️

Oh he did know [Ah, I see]

He be a mooooordererrrrr

His whole personality is different it’s strange

Bruh who are you ☠️

“That’s an order”  Why are y’all even free if your gonna be ordering people around  [That’s what I’m freaking saying, thank you]

Don’t kiss her

Pls don’t kiss her

[That scene was uncomfortableeeeee.  Even without “Some Assembly Required” as a primer.]

And cue angry Tony.  I mean, Logan.

Why he give her money????  WHY DID HE GIVE HER THE MONEY?!?!?!?!  THROW HER OUT THE WINDOW 

“It wasn’t my idea.  I just executed it.”  Why’d he give her the mooooooney!???!!!

He’s too niceeeee

Oooof  [Buddy angsting at the window, staring out at the rain like a regular Heathcliffe]

Herbal put Weenston out.  I love it

Why is she getting the third degree for being honest?

Buddy, that’s not how you say “you should go give Logan some loving”

HES STILL SITTING AT THE WINDOW, THE POOR BUDDY  😂😂😂😂😂

Did she say she “hooked up” with Zach?  Ma’am, he touched your chin and that was toooo much

THIS IS NOT GIVING LOGAN LOVE, MAAM.  soooo very ruuuuudeeeeee

Okay, now y’all kiss

“In the guest room,” he says.  That’s code for something

This is the.  WEIRDEST.  Talk.  [Well, at least they both talk circuitously.]

AND DONE

– – –

Jezebel: I swear I’m vibing during my midpoint and I’m confused by the end.  Each ep.  I think it’s cause usually the big problem gets solved but opens a new one.  Which I mean yeah that’s how shows go from ep to ep. But idk this feels like too much. Almost like the ending shouldn’t be the ending but like a mid or 3/4 point. Idk.  I still like it, though. Wayyyy more than I intended to

Wench: For what it’s worth, season 2 kinda resolves that, imo.  Or at least to my recollection.  The main episodes I remember reach natural conclusions.  

Jezebel: 🙂 good!

Wench: But they’re also a bit more standalone in general.  s1 is about her quest to find her siblings; s2 is about Manticore folks being out and about in general.  There’s a bit of an arc, but not as much of one.  If that makes sense?

Jezebel: Ahhh it does 🙂

Wench: My favorite eps are pretty standalone, at least.  “The Berrisford Agenda” is one of my beloved episodes (Alec-centric) and it’s very compact.

Jezebel: Wait, is Ben one of the ones that got away or is he her actual brother?

Wench: He’s one of her siblings.  One of the kids who escaped in ‘09.  With Max.  Part of her unit.

Jezebel: Ahhhhhh! See this whole time I thought he was just like another kid her mom had that she finds and, like, gets killed in the crossfire

Wench: Nah, he and Alec got twinned.  Only the twins are at all biologically related, and that’s not them usually them being related, per se; it’s usually cloning or something.  And Ben got out, but Alec didn’t.

Jezebel: WAIT HIS NAME IS BEN.  i just made this connection too ☠️😂

Wench: askfjlksjf I’m so confused

Jezebel: Ben. From spn

Wench: oh.  OH.  Huh.  I thought you were going for Soldier Boy ‘cause his name is Ben 

Jezebel: WAIT WOT

Wench: Yeah, pretty sure

Jezebel: Bruh

Wench: :) 

Jezebel: He plays the Bens; he fathers a Ben (as Dean), he dates a Ben…ny

Wench: !!kjlajsdlfkjasdflkj

Jezebel: Ackles, you got a preference or something?

Wench: LKJASLKDJF;ALKDJSFL;KJASDF

*a moment passes*

Wench: I’m dying waiting for you to get to "Pollo Loco".  It’s my favorite s1 episode.  The filming is stunning.  And Ben is such a tragic character, and is done so well (he’s like if you took MBV!Jackles and smushed in Dean)

Jezebel: Awwww 🥺🥺🥺

Wench: And maybe a bit of SB, though I don’t know for sure.  He’s got a deep and abiding cynicism that makes me think more of what little I know of SB.  And a delight in violence.  Dean likes the hunt, but he doesn’t thrive on the violence to the same degree, imo.  You agree?

Jezebel: Yeah, I get it

– – –

That’s a wrap!  We don’t know when the next episode will be — thus, whether the next reaction is going to be NCIS or Dark Angel — but see you then!

[marvellousinternethideout]

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

Season 2

Ep 4 - Inca Mummy Girl.

Xander still has a thing for buffy...? I thought we were over it, but apparently not lol.

Don't worry xander I am pretty sure there would be a real human sacrifice don't worry.

Is mummy is gonna wake up!? Is she alive or...yup she did, and killed our blue shirt guy.

Damn xander. Willow baby move on, he's an idiot.

The breaking of the 4th wall in this show lol. How casually they're like, 'I hope he didn't wake up with mommy and break the glass(or something)' and then just connect the dots that this is what happened. Alright lmao.

Stop with jealousy xander.

Not the south America stereotypes. Also he just died. Damn that was fast. Also, became into a girl, which I am guessing is the princess mummy.

Ah, the classic 'you speak very good English'.

Wait, WAIT, WAIT, IS THAT OZ!? YES, IT IS. OH FUCKING MAN, HE'S HERE.

He's also a lead guitarist. DAMN!!!

Yes, babe oz, your type is willow, she is coming.

Willow baby, Xander isn't worth it.

Jesus, how many chosen ones does this show has?

She just killed the BODYGUARD!? Damn.

Oz and Willow have to meet in this episode. I am so fucking excited!!!!

Xander STFU. Oz you better hurry up.

YESSSS OZ JUST ASKED WHO IS THAT GIRL! YESS. That's your girl willow and also one of your love lives (not your future wife tho).

OZ fell in love with her at first sight. Damn boy.

Okay, the princess mummy is a bad person. Is she gonna try to kill xander...

Don't kiss her Xander...welp, he did.

Willow, oz is behind you, don't run, who cares about the supernatural, stay with him.

LMAO, the Princess mummy just broke. Wtf!

So, I loved this episode. Wished Angel was in but no problem we got OZ baby. Finally, we have someone for willow. My guy fell in love at first sight. Knowing how it ends between oz and willow, I am still excited to see them and watch their chemistry. Although little heartbroken that *spoiler alert* he will not end up with her and well...get married to someone else but I'll take what I can get.

Nothing much happens, another supernatural but not connected to the main plot. Still a great episode.

That's it for this episode, see ya in the next one. Cheers 🥂

HANNIBAL SPOILER S02E09

That black and white cold open was intense. So does Will on some level think or I guess know that Hannibal loves him in his own way?

Jack back at Hannibal’s dinner table 😂 like the second they arrested Chilton, Jack was already putting a bib on to eat at Hannibal’s again.

That truckers death felt VERY xfiles

BLINDING INTRO

So is Will letting himself be consumed by the killer or is he just playing to fool Hannibal? Cos Hannibal is all in if his Murder Wing Wang Boner during their session is anything to go by.

Ohoho Margot is spicy, and her dress sense is impeccable… I’m wearily liking her.

Excuse me but is Hannibal wearing a pinned trapper hat 😂😂😂

I can’t take him seriously in that!

Aw I like Will and Animal guy’s interactions. Which probably means animal guy is going to die a horrible death if the history of this show is any indication.

Sooo the killer is a dude wearing a hydraulic wolf bear carcass suit?

Ah serves you horny couple right for being all out in the woods being all horny around a fire and stuff. Oop of course she trips.

Man, Hugh is so freaking pretty… Oop and now he’s got horns and imagining himself covered in blood mauling the chick. Alrighty.

Every conversation will and Hannibal have is so much double talk. And it’s always

H- “hey remember that time you tried to have me killed - how good did that feel hey??”

W- “yup sure did”

Only… sexier with 90% Hugh pout and Mads Francine Lips.

Hannibal going around telling everyone to kill, how many little sleeper agents does he have about town??

Will side eyeing Randall tier - realising Hannibal has been encouraging peeps to kill for decades. And now Margot tells him the same (another fucking bomb ass outfit from her.)

Oh - Will just flat out tells Hannibal he realises there are more and I’m not sure if Will sounds merely surprised but kinda jealous too? If only for Hannibal’s audacity.

Ooh dang Will practically signing Bedelia’s death sentence - even Hannibal reacted to that omission.

What the fuck? When Hannibal said that Will and Randall should discuss if Randall believed in god in person I didn’t think Hannibal would sic Randall on Will’s house?! I swear to god if that ManBearPig asshole harms any of Will’s Dogs, I’m gonna punch Hannibal in the butt.

BUSTER YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH

BUSTER NOOOO. Welp Hannibal’s getting a punch in the butt 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh Will is READY to kick ManBearPig’s Ass!

Fuck there’s less than a minute to go of the episode and man bear pig just came through Will’s window.

What? Why are we with Hannibal now? Oh. OH. Jesus, Will defeated ManBearPig with just a shotgun???

Even Steven. Jesus Christ - this show.

Ewww

Sick and tired

Eugh, it's like Bugs all over again

[diamondot]

this episode is supposed to be a retelling of The Picture of Dorian Grey and i remember it being sort of uncomfortable, so... this should be interesting

i'm pretty sure that old lady played an old lady in everything she was ever in, and you know what, good for her

is Worf... leading a tai chi class?

Dorian Grey has big PUA vibes

yup, it's very uncomfortable to watch this old lady yell at Troi for coming onto Dorian Grey when Troi has been nothing but pleasantly professional

oops, she's dead. rip unpleasant old lady

hey baby, wanna touch my funeral stone? as the only other empath on board you're the only one who can

oh, neurotransmitter residue. very suspicious

it's Picard's upholstery jacket! hi, upholstery jacket!

WELP this scene where Troi is doing erotic tai chi by herself is certainly very weird, but the sinister music makes it Very Uncomfortable

watching Troi be very cranky and horny is also Very Uncomfortable

do you think the mauveness of Troi's office contributes to the healing vibe

time to traumatize some therapy patients

is Dr Crusher in engineering just to shoot the shit with Geordi, or

real turtleneck and blazer look on those aliens

time to be Very Uncomfortable with the bride of Frankenstein

you know, this episode sucks a lot so far? i think it would be better if Troi had any agency whatsoever

i'm sure Picard is fine, he has a lot of experience with being stabbed

more neurotransmitter residue! what if Troi picked up neurotransmitter residue disease

Dorian Grey selects unwilling women to be receptacles for his unwanted emotions in one of the grossest metaphors for rape ever

Troi's only going to be slightly dead, Riker, calm down

the rape metaphor makes Troi's descent into bizarre aggressive horndog behavior even grosser

so this woman seems aware of the funeral rocks, but is this emotional siphoning, like, common on his world? is she aware that's something that could happen to her?

he literally did 😱

whoops, they brought Troi back to life and Dorian Grey is going all-

he's going all grey

wow Troi de-aged FAST once he died

there we go, Troi and Riker are That Poly Couple once again and all is right with the world

hoo boy this episode was a real dud. just a disappointment from start to finish. i realize they can't all be winners but... whew.

i sliced open my finger with my pruning saw today! i'm fine! let's watch Star Trek!

Man of the People: you gotta feel them feelings sometime

Mekakucity Actors Audio Commentary #5

Act 5 – Kaien Panzermast

Translation of the second audio commentary that comes with the DVD/Blu-ray of Mekakucity Actors. Raw version here. Please consider purchasing the original copies and feel free to message me about possible corrections. If there happens to be any issues with the link, please contact me on my main blog!

← Previous || Index || Next →

Jin: Hello to everyone listening to the audio commentary of “Mekakucity Actors Act 5 – Kaien Panzermast”. Eh, I’m the creator and screenplay writer, Jin.

Hoshii: Yes! Aaand... eeeh, I’m the voice of Seto Kousuke, Hoshi Souichirou. Pappy~!

(T/N: For those unfamiliar with it, “pappy” is Hoshi Souichirou’s catchphrase. He’s been using it as a greeting since the late 90’s.)

Jin: ‘Ello~!

Hoshii: ‘Ello!

Suzuki: And I’m the process supervisor this time as well.

Hoshi: Oh!

Suzuki: I’m Suzuki Kenta from Aniplex. Please take care of me.

Hoshii: Counting on you for it!

Jin: Please take care of us!

Hoshii: Yes~!

Everyone: *claps*

Suzuki: It’ll be a pleasure.

Hoshii: Yay! For sure!

Suzuki: We have Hoshi-san with us.

Jin: He came over!

Suzuki: Actually, no, you made me come over!

Everyone: *laughs*

Jin: So that’s where we’re starting from? That’s where we’re starting from?

Suzuki: Nope, nope, nope.

Hoshii: Not really. I think the listeners don’t know what we’re going on about. Welp, thank you very much.

Jin: Anyway, this is disk is the fifth volume.

Suzuki: Yup!

Hoshii: Ah, wait! It’s been a while.

Jin: It sure has! Ah, ‘cause the recordings are over, right?

Hoshii: Yeah. After they ended, I became like this.

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: Like this?

Hoshii: Is that okay? Is it? Hum, about Seto-san in the main story...

Jin: You’re the one who voices him!

Hoshii: For the people who know him, this must be one hell of a sudden change.

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: That’s okay! It’s okay! This is a corner where we can enjoy more and more of these things.

Hoshii: ‘Kay!

Jin: All right! We’ll be in your care.

Suzuki: We’re in your care.

Hoshii: My! Ah, I’m so nervous. We usually do these things with fellow cast members.

Suzuki: That’s right.

Jin: Yes, yes.

Hoshii: When it’s between cast members, the topic can get dumb.

Jin: Yes, yes!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: But if we’re with the creators or directors, as expected, they explain the story very properly, so I get super nervous and clam up.

Jin: Nah, nah, nah.

Hoshii: Therefore, I guess I’ll keep quiet today too.

Suzuki: No, no, no. It’s best to do things like you usually do.

Jin: Do it like you always do! Seriously! I have been invited to all the other four volumes do to the audio commentaries.

Hoshii: Yep!

Jin: And we’ve hardly had any chance to do any proper talk!

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: Basically, the topic disconnects all of a sudden and then we go, “Ah, time to wrap up! Byeee!”

Suzuki: Aaah, true. There’s no difference. Hoshi-san, you should act like you usually do.

Hoshii: Ah, but actually, right before this audio commentary started, I talked to Jin-san about this.

Jin: We had a general discussion.

Hoshii: There was a little bit of wait time, after all.

Jin: We’ve already asked what we wanted to ask at large.

Hoshii: We had a separate talk.

Jin: I already asked what I wanted to ask.

Suzuki: But if there’s a part of it that we can deliver to everyone, that’s good too. If you could talk about it once again...

Hoshii: Yup, yup.

Jin: The cast-off skin of it.

Suzuki: The “cast-off skin”!

Hoshii: “Cast-off skin”!

Jin: Like, the evil part of it.

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: We’re hoping to hear about it from you!

Hoshii: All right. So, how did you like Mekakucity’s—erm... fifth episode?

Jin: Yes, fifth episode.

Suzuki: We’re in the fifth.

Hoshii: How was it for you?

Jin: About the fifth episode... the previous one was precisely “Kagerou Days”.

Hoshii: The rumored one!

Jin: Exactly – the one that happens within a sort of mysterious place.

Hoshii: Yes, that one.

Jin: It became a bit serious but the scenario has changed once again to the protagonist, Shintarou-kun.

Hoshii: Now it’s a peaceful everyday life, huh~!

Jin: Yes, a peaceful everyday life. Ah, here’s Ene-chan. She shows up in this one. Anyway, it’s a slice-of-life episode. Everyone’s frolicking about.

Hoshii: And then... hm? Seto had a pretty normal amount of lines in this episode, I guess. Didn’t he?

Jin: Probably, in the third episode, when they went to that department store—

Hoshii: Ah, the third episode?

Jin: They all went there together.

Hoshii: Ah, that’s right! Yes, yes, yes!

Jin: He did have lines back then, but this time, his cute side is on display.

Hoshii: So he has a cute side, huh?

Jin: I hope the people listening to this audio commentary will have expectations for Seto after this episode.

Hoshii: Oh! That’s great.

Jin: It’s kind of a goal. I want them to enjoy him.

Hoshii: That’s right.

Jin: We’ve ended up talking about this earlier, but...

Hoshii: We did.

Jin: Seto-kun is not only in the anime, but also in the novels, music and other mediums.

Hoshii: Yes.

Jin: Yet he doesn’t show up much.

Hoshii: He doesn’t?! Aaah!

Jin: He doesn’t.

Hoshii: I see. If I were to say it, I guess he has less appearances than the other characters.

Jin: That’s right, he’s a bit retreated to the background.

Hoshii: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jin: He’s kind of—oh, it’s the opening sequence.

Hoshii: He’s at the side.

Jin: We did things like, for example, right there on the anime’s title, the first syllable, “Me”, is painted in his theme color.

Hoshii: Yup, yup, yup.

Jin: Hum, in the anime, we’re...

Hoshii: Ah, so you’re sort of—

Jin: We’re sort of... lifting him up a little as a character in the anime, so to say.

Suzuki: I see. You were trying to make him stand out.

Hoshii: Ah, as expected, this green color is pretty nice.

Jin: “It’s pretty nice”! Well, we’ve already talked about this earlier, but as a character, he’s kind of like a big brother.

Hoshii: That’s right!

Suzuki: Aaah...

Jin: He’s a character who has it together and who goes “there, there” when something happens, and yet...

Hoshii: Hm?

Jin: ...he’s a character that doesn’t come forward much.

Hoshii: He doesn’t play dumb too often, huh.

Jin: Exactly, exactly! We can’t make him act dumb that much. He’s the one that has common sense.

Hoshii: Yes.

Jin: Now, as for the opening song that’s playing at the moment...

Hoshii: Yes?!

Jin: ...I just recently released a CD with it. And there were autograph sessions for it.

Hoshii: Autograph sessions!

Jin: I went around to some areas of the country to give out my signature.

Suzuki/Hoshii: Oooh!

Jin: And, hum, when I’m writing down autographs, well, I feel like chatting.

Hoshii: With each person that comes, right?

Jin: This time, I keep throwing them the question, “Do you have a favorite character?”

Hoshii: Eeeh~?

Jin: And it turns out...

Hoshii: Yes?

Jin: ...nearly all of them answered “Seto-kun”!

Hoshii: For real?

Suzuki: Oh! What a surprise.

Hoshii: That makes me happy.

Jin: Seriously, there were so many Seto-kun fans that he’s by far the decisive favorite!

Hoshii: Even though Seto-kun is so inconspicuous!

Jin: Despite that!

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: I wonder what it is that—it’s probably the way he makes people feel.

Hoshii: Heeh? Aah, he’s comforting to them.

Jin: He is.

Hoshii: Ah, indeed, just looking at him heals you. He can comfort people even without talking.

Jin: He can!

Hoshii: *laughs* As long as there’s an artwork of him. Just an artwork!

Jin: You can heal just from looking at it.

Suzuki: So Seto is popular, huh?

Jin: Absurdly popular.

Suzuki: Heeeh~?

Hoshii: Ah, I’m so glad.

Jin: Therefore, I wanted to report this huge popularity of his to you.

Hoshii: Aaah, thank you! I’m so happy!

Suzuki: That’s wonderful.

Jin: I thought of using this occasion for it, but I ended up revealing it earlier, actually!

Hoshii: Ah! Yeah, I heard about it just now.

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: No, but it’s okay, hearing it twice. Two, three times even.

Jin: You’d wanna hear about Seto-kun’s popularity two, three times!

Suzuki: Because it’s a good topic.

Hoshii: It’s a good topic. I wanna hear it as many times as I can. And next time, too, I wanna hear it as many times as I can.

Jin/Suzuki: *laugh*

Jin: So in the sixth audio commentary too?

Hoshii: Oh, but speaking of Seto-kun, at the beginning...

Jin: Yes?

Hoshii: I honestly had no idea how to go about him.

Jin: Ah, I see, I see.

Suzuki: Oooh...

Hoshii: During the recording of the first episode, the art wasn’t in very good condition, you know?

Suzuki: Ah, that’s right.

Hoshii: Which is normal nowadays. That’s the state that the recordings are in lately.

Jin: My deepest apologies!

Hoshii: But for some reason, even though this most certainly never happens, there were no facial expressions on the characters!

Suzuki/Jin: *lose their shit*

Hoshii: Is this a thing?!

Jin: It’s not!

Hoshii: Just impossible, isn’t it?

Jin: Impossible.

Hoshii: The facial expressions are decided in much earlier stages!

Jin: Right.

Suzuki: *still losing it*

Hoshii: There were no expressions on the characters, so I looked at the illustrations of the original work and other such things for reference.

Jin: Ah, geez, I’m so very sorry for that...

Hoshii: But to be frank... at first, I was just fumbling around.

Suzuki: Oooh...

Hoshii: Like, “Whoa, what should I do?”

Jin: Hmmm...

Hoshii: But when I watched it on air, surprisingly, it matched.

Jin: Ah, that’s right!

Suzuki: As expected!

Hoshii: *laughs*

Suzuki: You’re amazing!

Jin: Yes, amazing!

Hoshii: I was relieved. Glad that I went for that approach.

Jin: Ah, so something like that happened?

Hoshii: It did!

Suzuki: Hoshi-san, you did ask about it later, didn’t you?

Hoshii: Ah, right, right.

Jin: I was like, “That’s exactly how he should be!”

Hoshii: I’m glad. Well, I was sort of uncertain about it.

Jin: Yes, yes, yes.

Hoshii: So I asked the sound director, Tsuruoka-san, “Is it okay like this?”

Jin: Yes.

Suzuki: Ooh...

Hoshii: I did it after confirming that with him.

Jin: Yes!

Hoshii: So, well, I thought it wouldn’t be too out of place.

Jin: Yes.

Hoshii: But... but, you see...

Jin: Yes?

Hoshii: Something I was at loss about is that, right after this, we recorded a promo.

Jin: That’s right!! The... the one for the CM.

Suzuki: Yup.

Hoshii: Well, I did record it, but... his personality was different.

Jin: *laughs*

Hoshii: I was like, “Eh, is this okay? He’s a completely different character!”

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: It was pretty quick.

Jin: That’s right.

Hoshii: When I thought about it, I got a really bad feeling.

Jin: I see.

Hoshii: I was like, “Could it be that it’s okay for him to act like this in this situation?”

Jin: Yes, yes.

Hoshii: Like, “Will he go this way or will he go that way?”

Suzuki: Oooh...

Hoshii: It was the hardest time I’ve had amongst all of my job experiences until now.

Jin: Ah, I see!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: The possibility of you getting a terrible job!

Hoshii: Yeah! In regards to stamina, I thought to myself, “I’d hate if this job turns into a hassle” and had such a bad feeling, but when the series started, turns out he was an uplifting character.

Jin: Ah, that’s right.

Hoshii: Maaan, I sighed in relief.

Jin: I’m sure.

Suzuki: He might’ve been the character that shook you off the most!

Jin: He just might!

Hoshii: Back then, y’know, I kinda... on Nico Nico... Nico Nico...

Jin: “Nico Nico Douga”.

Hoshii: On Nico Nico Douga, they were writing terrible things about me!

Jin/Suzuki: *laugh*

Jin: Just like that?!

Hoshii: Honestly, even though I did so much for this character all on my own... it was the first time I got such horrible comments!

Jin/Suzuki: *still laughing*

Jin: I’m truly very sorry.

Hoshii: No, no, no! Well, the result was just fine in the end, so it’s okay.

Jin: Yes.

Hoshii: But, hum, everyone made me super anxious. *laughs*

Jin: They were like, “‘Deer’? ‘Deer’?”

Hoshii: Indeed.

Suzuki: The promo was supposed to be like a series of character studies.

Jin: Yeah, that was the plan. And, well, also to promote the anime.

Suzuki: Going by order, Seto was... hum...

Jin: Erm, if I’m not mistaken, he was the eighth.

Suzuki: The first ones had already done their promos properly, but the ones that came later were gradually... *laughs*

Hoshii: I mean, I wasn’t told anything! Especially about his attitude and such.

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: I didn’t know when the episodes would be coming out.

Jin: True.

Hoshii: And hadn’t done any publicity for it before.

Jin: Yeah. Especially the “It’s a deer! A deerrrr!” part was rather...

Hoshii: I turned all of the fans of the original work into my enemies.

Jin: Eeeeh?!

Suzuki/Hoshii: *laugh*

Jin: It’s not like that! The fans of the original were like, “Aight. It’s okay like that.”

Hoshii/Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: Me too! Hum, when I watched it on TV, I went to Twitter and such to see how it went, and it was just... all about this “deer” thing!

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: My timelines in my social media were all like, “deer”!

Suzuki: It was trending!

Jin: It became a trend!

Hoshii: Ah, but Mekakucity trends a lot with every episode, doesn’t it?

Suzuki: Yeah.

Jin: That’s right. It’s a mess in many ways when it becomes a trending topic, though.

Suzuki/Hoshii: Weeeell...

Jin: But it does trend.

Hoshii: Maaan, I’m so happy that I voice such a popular character...

Jin: Ah, hum, you had your worries, but now that the recordings are over, turns out you voice the number one favorite character!

Hoshii: My, my, thank you very much. So this is what “godsend” means.

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: That’s right. And the people who come to the autograph sessions are, as expected, very hardcore fans.

Suzuki: Oh...

Hoshii: Ah! Must be.

Jin: They not only buy the CDs but also want them signed, after all.

Hoshii: I heard that the fans of this work are incredibly hooked into it.

Suzuki: Yuuup.

Jin: Ah, true!

Suzuki: They’re very passionate.

Jin: I’m very thankful for that.

Hoshii: Ah, crap! What should I do? I ended up saying these things in the audio commentary...

Suzuki: Oh?

Hoshii: It might be too late to ask, but should we have gone with this route?

Jin: Eh, what?

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: What’s gotten into you all of a sudden??

Hoshii: Maybe the people who didn’t know about it would be like, “Eh, he’s different from what I’d imagined” when they listen to this.

Jin: That’s not gonna happen! Not at all.

Suzuki: If it’s now, you might still have a shot at taking it back!

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: We only talked about good things, yet you want to redo it?

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: Like, “Okay, anyways—”

Hoshii: If I do that, I might be able to hear from the autograph sessions again.

Suzuki: Ah, that’s right.

Jin: Ah! So that’s what it was about!

Suzuki/Hoshii: *laugh*

Jin: “Seto is so popularrr!”

Hoshii: Ah, I’m so happy.

Jin: You are? Thank you very much!

Suzuki: Hoshi-san has been recovering his HP several times by now.

Hoshii/Jin: *laughs*

Hoshii: Like, “Oh, is that so?”

Suzuki: Just flat-out.

Jin: Just flat-out! *laughs* But, well, Seto-kun is a memorable character for me.

Hoshii: Aaah, thank you so much for creating him.

Jin: Hum, I couldn’t flesh him out much in the original work, so I hoped he could have lines in several parts of the anime at the beginning.

Hoshii: He didn’t appear much, but at the end, it was pretty good.

Jin: It waaas!

Suzuki: Yuuup.

Hoshii: That’s what I thought. But it’s hard to get him out there.

Jin: It is!

Hoshii: Yep.

Jin: But that’s because I think he’s one hell of a fine man.

Hoshii: He really is. And surprisingly big, isn’t he?

Jin: If I’m not mistaken, he’s two—I mean...

Hoshii: Two meters tall?!

Jin: Ah, no, no! The second tallest of the Mekakushi Dan.

Hoshii: You said “two”!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: You said “two”, so...

Jin: The way he’d be viewed in the series would change a lot.

Hoshii: If he were two meters tall?

Jin: He’d be in the basketball team or something.

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: The character named Konoha is probably the tallest one.

Hoshii: Ah, yeah. You’re right!

Suzuki: Hmmm...

Jin: And the second is Seto-kun.

Suzuki: Ah, I see.

Hoshii: But Konoha is voiced by Miyano-kun, so it’s no shock that he’s huge. However, the mic is positioned too high up when Miyano-kun is there, so I can’t go into the booth with him!

Jin/Suzuki: *laugh*

Hoshii: Gotta avoid that spot at all costs!

Jin: If I’m not mistaken, this happened on this episode too. With Kaida-san, I guess.

Hoshii: Yes.

Jin: Hum, her shoes—Ah, no, it was Nakahara-san, maybe? She said that the mic is too high up when when Miyano-san is around.

Hoshii: It is!

Jin: So she puts on high-heeled shoes for it. She said something like that.

Suzuki: Ooh, I see, I see.

Hoshii: But Kaida-san is quite tall too, so she can fit.

Jin: Right.

Hoshii: It becomes Miyano-kun and Kaida-san’s mic.

Jin: Aaah, man!

Suzuki: I see, I see.

Jin: A mic for two people.

Hoshii: And I go to the shorter people’s side. Hum, like... Hanazawa-san’s mic.

Suzuki/Jin: *laugh*

Suzuki: To that side?

Hoshii: Ah, but, when it comes to conversations between Seto and Mary, we gotta avoid that.

Suzuki: Ah, that’s right.

Jin: Right.

Hoshii: Like, “Whose turn is it now?”

Everyone: *laughs*

Jin: “Should I go to the right? To the middle?”

Hoshii: “Whose mic should I go to?”

Jin: “Whose mic”! “The middle one, maybe?”

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: Ah, this is it. Speak of the devil, the tall Konoha-kun has come up.

Hoshii: Yep! Man, this one was terrible for Miyano-kun.

Jin: It sure was!

Suzuki: It was the worst.

Hoshii: The result was good, but he had a hard time.

Jin: It was horrible for him...!

Hoshii: Sure was.

Suzuki: He had to voice three characters with different personalities, after all.

Hoshii: He did. Man, I’m so glad I didn’t get Konoha!

Everyone: *laughs*

Hoshii: Seto is great!

Jin: And on top of that, the characters didn’t have facial expressions! Yet it’s three characters!

Hoshii: Right??

Jin: He must’ve been so busy... Ah, but, about this episode... for example, during the promos and the main story, a lot of characters come up.

Hoshii: Yup!

Jin: I was very uneasy as to whether or not I’d be able to explain to you guys what each of them are about. And I was wondering if you wouldn’t find it super difficult to understand, no matter how much I explained.

Hoshii: Aaah...

Jin: But it was amazing how, on the first try, all of you performed the characters exactly the way I imagined they’d be like.

Suzuki: Hmmm...

Jin: Yes. So I’m very sorry about that and, as expected, I wish I’d explained properly!

Hoshii: No, no, no! The way you did it was enough!

Jin: But, aaah, it was wonderful! I was like, “It’s perfect like this!”

Hoshii: I see.

Jin: Yet, in contrast, Miyano-san was like, “Is this all right?”

Hoshii: I guess we actors do get iffy about it, like, “Was it really okay?” because we didn’t yet have a proper image of how it was going to turn out.

Jin: My, it must’ve been truly hard. And it was over in a blink of eye.

Hoshii: Exactly.

Suzuki: Yeah.

Hoshii: The songs were also finished in a blink of eye.

Jin: They were.

Hoshii: It went by so fast.

Jin: It did!

Hoshii: I kept looking forward to it every week.

Jin: Ah, thank you very much, really!

Suzuki: Thank you so much.

Jin: I also kept looking forward to it every week.

Hoshii: Hm!

Jin: Oh, here it is. The scene we were talking about earlier. The one that’s kinda cute.

Hoshii: Ah!

Jin: It’s coming up. The one where Seto-kun...

Hoshii: That’s the one I did for the audition.

Suzuki: Aaah!

Jin: *laughs*

Hoshii: That was the one.

Jin: This... This... Hum, yes, yes. We had you do it in the audition and for the radio commercials. It was exactly this scene.

Suzuki: Right, right.

Hoshii: Yeah. So, since he’s different from his usual calm self in this scene, I was wondering if it was okay like that.

Jin: Aah.

Hoshii: I might’ve performed the wrong side of him.

Suzuki: Hmmm...

Hoshii: So I was like, “Are the people who like the comforting side of Seto-kun going to be okay with this?”

Jin: Well, the older female audience was like, “He’s so cute~!”, so...

Hoshii: Yeah... but he leaves!

Jin: That’s right!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: He offs to somewhere! Like... he goes away to see some nature.

Jin: He kinda fades out.

Hoshii: Yeah.

Jin: Hum, after this, in the eighth episode, everyone goes back to the hideout and there’s a part where they’re talking.

Hoshii: Yes.

Jin: In it, he says, “I’m gonna go looking for him” and just like that...

Hoshii: He leaves.

Jin: ...he goes away.

Hoshii: That’s right...

Jin: During the course of the main story, both in the anime and the novel, he’s always like this.

Hoshii: Hmm...

Jin: In some way or another, even when he should be there in the novel, everyone’s like, “He isn’t here right now because he has work today.”

Everyone: *laughs*

Jin: All the time, it’s like, “He’s got work so he isn’t here.” *laughs*

Hoshii: Well, there are people like that.

Jin: He doesn’t show up at all!

Suzuki: *laughs* No, but maybe it might be best to keep people in suspense about him.

Jin: Right.

Hoshii: Like, to make them use their imagination?

Suzuki: Exactly. Like, “What’s he doing behind the scenes?”

Jin: I wonder what.

Hoshii: “Went out to see some deers, maybe?”

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: If he did go out to see deers, people would say he isn’t around but in the joke kind of way. There are fans who enjoy this gag.

Hoshii: Yes.

Suzuki: Hmm.

Jin: On the other hand, since he’s so absent, some people are like, “Isn’t he the mastermind behind all of this?!”

Hoshii: *gasp* Reading between the lines!

Jin: Like, “Isn’t he the leader of the bad guys or something like that?!”

Hoshii: Reading too much between the lines!

Suzuki: I see...

Hoshii: That kind of thing is possible.

Jin: They conclude that it’d be bad to put him together with everyone else.

Hoshii: It happens sometimes.

Jin: So maybe he’s a villain.

Hoshii: It happens, it happens.

Jin: But that’s not his case at all!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: Let me borrow this space to say it – he’s not like that at all!

Hoshii: There was no such thing. I’m so glad! I’m so glad that he was a good person!

Jin: He is.

Hoshii: I’m also glad that he wasn’t killed in the end!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: He almost got killed, though.

Jin: He almost did.

Hoshii: Also, during that flashback about the past...

Jin: Yes?

Hoshii: ...I voiced one of the villagers.

Jin: Ah! The villager! The villager!

Suzuki: Aaah...!

Hoshii: I think a lot of those people were just villagers.

Jin: Yes, yes. I believe they were ordinary villagers.

Hoshii: Even so... I was asked to voice one.

Suzuki: You, Hoshi-san?! *laughs*

Jin: WAS THAT OKAY?!!

Hoshii: No, it’s fine! I’m okay with it!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: It’s nothing much! I can do it! I can voice a nameless character, no problem. I can, because he does have a relation to Seto.

Suzuki: Everything here has a proper reason behind it.

Hoshii: He’s related to Seto-kun, everyone! Think about it for a second.

Jin: Looking at the character name “Villager C” must’ve been the worst!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: Their faces look alike, don’t they?

Jin: Yes, yes. They look exactly the same.

Hoshii: Don’t misunderstand, everyone.

Jin: That’s right. That was, hum... something like an ancestor.

Hoshii: Yeah. Is it okay to reveal that?

Jin: It’s totally okay! So, this was an ancestor and—

Suzuki: Like I said, everything has a proper reason behind it.

Jin: Yes, yes! I also thought this was in order.

Hoshii: Thank you very much.

Jin: But for some reason, I felt like being playful when writing the screenplay, so I granted Seto’s voice to Villager C.

Hoshii: Right?!

Jin: I should’ve made it Villager A.

Hoshii: *laughs* Indeed!

Jin: I put him in a sort of low position on purpose.

Hoshii: Aaah~!

Suzuki: I see, I see!

Hoshii: Eh, but there’s no helping it. A is the leader, as you’d expect.

Jin: Yes, A is the leader. And B is the second in command.

Hoshii: No helping it.

Jin: Hence, Villager C.

Hoshii: I can totally voice just a Villager C, though!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: That’s riiight!

Suzuki: As expected, there’s a proper meaning to it.

Jin: Yes, yes.

Hoshii: Right.

Jin: But when you do an audition and people instruct you on how to voice a character, it’s not so that you can be “Villager C”!

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: That Villager C really did have a meaning to him.

Hoshii: No, hum, thank you so much, really! Speaking of auditions... I only did it for Seto.

Jin: That’s right.

Hoshii: For these kinds of things, you usually get, for example, the protagonist... some sort of main role.

Suzuki: Ah, that’s right.

Hoshii: And only then do you get another character. So this pin-point was kind of rare. Was it like that for everyone?

Jin: Ah, erm, I created the images of all the characters from the very first chapter of the original work.

Suzuki: Hmm.

Hoshii: Oh!

Jin: I did a lecture expressing how each character was supposed to be, like, “This is how I imagined them.”

Hoshii: Heeh...

Jin: I also had the names of all of them.

Suzuki: That’s right.

Jin: Yes, that’s how I asked them to perform.

Hoshii: Hm.

Jin: Back then, I also had several discussions with Tsuruoka-san – hum, the sound director, Tsuruoka-san.

Hoshii: I see.

Jin: And ultimately, we decided to have Hoshi-san do it, by all means.

Hoshii: No, no! Thank you.

Jin: That’s how it went.

Suzuki: So actually, Jin-san, you and the others had the image of the characters so clear in your heads that there wasn’t a single person who messed up.

Jin: Ah...

Suzuki: Each and every one of them did well.

Jin: No, but it was hard for them, wasn’t it?

Hoshii: For real...

Suzuki: Hm, indeed. But it paid off, right?

Jin: Yeah...

Hoshii: Honestly, it was the first audition that I passed in a while, so I was very happy.

Jin: Eeeeh??

Suzuki: No way!

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: For a moment there, I was kinda like, “Ah?! Ah!!”

Suzuki: That’s not possible.

Hoshii: It’s true, it’s true! To tell the truth, I don’t get approved very often.

Jin: Ah, is that so?

Suzuki: Aaah...

Hoshii: It’s because there’s actually a lot of people who take part in auditions.

Jin: Ah, thought so.

Suzuki: Hmmm...

Hoshii: So I hardly pass them.

Jin: But Hoshi-san, as expected...

Hoshii: I was happy!

Jin: Ah, geez, thank you. And yet, you got Villager C! It’d make anyone go, “Hey!!”

Hoshii: *laughs*

Jin: I’m really sorry.

Hoshii: No, no, no! It’s okay, really.

Jin: But, well, other than the Villager C, Seto-kun had quite a few appearances in the anime.

Hoshii: Ah, well, I was always there for the recordings of the latter half.

Suzuki: Yuuup.

Jin: Right. But if we’re speaking about just Seto-kun as a character, there was also a mini-arc in the past where a small Seto-kun had a lot of screen time.

Hoshii: Ah, that’s right! But voicing a small Seto-kun would’ve been difficult for me...

Jin: Well, yes. We did a voice switch.

Suzuki: Yeah.

Hoshii: I didn’t do an audition for little Seto or anything like that!

Jin/Suzuki: *laugh*

Hoshii: It’s not like I auditioned and failed! I didn’t audition for it at all!

Suzuki: Indeed.

Jin: Tsuruoka-san had decided on from the very beginning.

Hoshii: Yeah, yeah. Although, depending on the anime, they use the original voice actors for that.

Suzuki: Oooh...

Hoshii: There’s actually a ton of problems with that, but they’re like, “Can you do it?”

Suzuki: I see, I see!

Jin: Hum, Hoshi-san, I have watched some of the works that you’re in. There’s one that has several episodes set in the past. It’s a series that I’m quite fond of.

Hoshii: Ah, I see! That one. That one, right?

Jin: Everyone performs in the flashbacks just like they do in the present! *laughs*

Suzuki: Aaah, I see...

Hoshii: Well, how should I put it? This way of doing it is also a thing.

Suzuki: Hm, hm.

Hoshii: It’s like a gag.

Suzuki: Hmmm.

Hoshii: It doesn’t go the realistic route. So it’s okay like that sometimes.

Suzuki: Yep.

Hoshii: But man, this series is so mysterious. The atmosphere of it, that is.

Jin: Ah...!

Suzuki: Hmmm...

Hoshii: I also feel that Director Shinbou’s direction matched it very well too.

Jin: Indeed, that’s right. Not even I thought it’d turn out like this.

Hoshii: Right?!

Suzuki: Yuuup.

Jin: Hum—Ah! Anyway...

Hoshii: Ah, it’s over!

Suzuki: The ending song...

Jin: The ending arrived in a blink of eye!

Hoshii: In a blink of eye!

Jin: We really couldn’t talk about the main story at all!

Suzuki: *laughs*

Hoshii: We did, a little.

Jin: At least till the part where Seto gets startled.

Hoshii: And leaves.

Jin: That’s right.

Hoshii: Aah, it’s going to end.

Jin: It is.

Hoshii: But there’s still more.

Jin: There’s still the C part.

Suzuki: There is, at the very end.

Hoshii: Speaking of the ending, LIA-san’s voice is so graceful that it heals you.

Jin: True.

Suzuki: Ah, that’s right.

Jin: The song is mine, by the way.

Hoshii: Ah!

Jin: I think I managed to create a good melody with it.

Hoshii: Yup! That’s right!

Suzuki: As expected!

Jin: But y’know, hum, we always cut right through the story every single time and arrive to this point.

Hoshii: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jin: So the image I have of this song is always like, “Eeeeh?!!”

Hoshii: Ah, I see.

Jin: It’s become a song that makes me go, “It’s already here???”

Suzuki: *laughs*

Jin: It’s unbelievable... So, we have reached the ending theme song of the episode once again. About the people who watch the series, I wonder how they do it. Do they listen to the audio commentary right after watching the episode?

Hoshii: Ah, but it might be like this, for example – when they buy the DVD, they first of all watch the series. I feel like that’s the majority.

Suzuki: Ooh...

Hoshii: Like, they watch the episodes on TV first.

Jin: That’s right. Maybe that’s it.

Suzuki: Yeah.

Hoshii: That’s probably it.

Jin: Indeed. Well, with that being said...

Hoshii: Yes?

Jin: Hum, if there’s anyone who’s going to watch the series once again after listening to this, we’re sorry for not elaborating on the contents of it!

Hoshii: Yeah!

Suzuki/Hoshii: *laugh*

Suzuki: Well, time has gradually come.

Hoshii: Yes.

Jin: Yes!

Suzuki: We’re going to be doing this over again, but please, do leave a message.

Jin: All right!

Suzuki: Could Hoshi-san go first?

Hoshii: Yeah! Eeeh, I’m happy to have participated in “Mekakucity Actors”! Eeeh, it really was a blink of eye, but as expected, I myself would like to get involved with Seto-kun even more.

Jin: Aaah...!

Hoshii: And with everyone else. I wanna get involved with them, so I’ll do my best. Jin-san, too, by all means, please take care of me from now on too.

Jin: Ah, thank you very much!

Hoshii: Everyone, thank you for your support!

Jin: Thank you so much!

Suzuki: Jin-san, you too.

Jin: Yes! Well, let’s see... Just like Hoshi-san said, I would like to have everyone gather up once again after this.

Hoshii: Yes.

Jin: If there comes a chance for it, I’d love to do it too.

Hoshii: Yes!

Jin: Is this really something we should be saying at this point in the game?!

Suzuki/Hoshii: *laugh*

Jin: But we already said it, so...

Suzuki: No problem, no problem.

Jin: ...I want to do my best till this opportunity arrives!

Hoshii: Yes!

Jin: So anyway, thank you very much.

Hoshii: Yes.

Suzuki: Thank you very much. And this C part also has a meaning to it.

Hoshii: That’s right!

Suzuki: If you keep it up – if you keep watching it like this, you should be able to tell.

Hoshii: At the beginning, I really didn’t get it, so I watched them all in sequence.

Jin: Ah, thank you very much.

Hoshii: It piques your interest, doesn’t it? When you don’t understand something.

Suzuki: I hope people will watch it over and over.

Jin: That’s right.

Hoshii: Yeah.

Jin: I want them to watch it lots of times and go, “I see, I see.”

Hoshii: Yep, exactly.

Suzuki: Well, that being said...

Hoshii: There’s lots of fired-up songs in it too.

Jin: Yes!

Hoshii: Waiting for everyone.

Jin: Please keep looking forward to what’s to come as well!

Hoshii: Yeeah!

Jin: Yes.

Suzuki: Thank you very much. Well, this has been the audio commentary of Act 05.

Everyone: Thank you very muuuch!
