#kiminai ep 6

Won't get through to you 君には届かない。​Ep 6

I dreaded this episode a lot because of the preview. Going in.

oh Kakeru

oof cold, Yamato

Kakeru is so in his head it'd be funny if it weren't so sad.

Hosaka is so over it and honestly I get it

of course Yamato collapsing was the talk of their year, of COURSE

asdfasdfs Hosaka, trying so hard to get them to talk

OH HE'S LYING he's 100% lying, he's definitely just trying to give Kakeru an out here

oh Kakeru, this is an overreaction if ever I've seen one.

HOSAKA don't get Mikoto involved

oh Mikoto (also oof RIP me, gotta rework how she refers to her brother)

Kakeru, I'm just saying but you're making it super obvious to everyone that SOMETHING's weird

wow, Kakeru you actually punched him, huh

these two IS2G

oh my GOD he ACTUALLY didn't remember?! this is too good, I'm dying

I love Mikoto so much

impressed at Kakeru for actually being honest with Mikoto here. I didn't expect that.

these twooooo

someone should make a rooftop compilation video. just saying.

good job on using your words, Yamato. that was brave. and decent.

adsfsadf saved? by the bell

KAKERU oh he's mad (but valid)

hey hey hey boys you're on the ROOF please watch your step??

I'm all chinhands here. Literal chin-in-hands. THEYYYY.

AAAAAH oh god this is more than even last episode's kiss to me. HANDS.

"no way I'd find anything about you uncool" wow Kakeru the things you just SAY

oh I love this shot

A DATE! WE'RE GETTING A DATE!!!

Yamato smiling is a LOT holy shit

oh Kakeru, he's loved you forever and he'll list the reasons if you ask

a movie at home, huh. HUH.

oh god these two are a LOT

Hey hey hey Kakeru, you don't get to just decide how he feels about you, either

okay I said that but--

WHOA Yamato hey hey hey --

okay okay okay okay phew

THIS SHOW holy shit

THAT PREVIEW HAD ME SO WORRIED I WAS A FOOL! I should've known better~ THANK you, show. And also: I like how Yamato is not cool or in control, how he fucks up, how they let us see that he's affected and how that causes him to make some questionable choices. These episodes just fly by, I cannot believe I have to wait a WEEK for the next one, WHY.

Current Time: 20:33

Current activity: winding down, tumblr

Currently thinking about: whether to try and catch up on more shows, work on subs, or actually spend time with people in brickspace.

Current favourite song: idk about favourite, but แน่ใจไหม (Are you sure) by Nont Tanont is once again living in my head rent-free.

Currently reading: [redacted] for beta work, also re-reading several older favourites from CQL/MDZS fandom and Bad Buddy. Also a lot of [also redacted] stuff for work.

Currently watching: suddenly a lot of Japanese shows? most of which are ending this week or next, alas. As @twig-tea said: lol here we go (in no particular order but semi-ranked in terms of how much space they are taking up in my brain?):

Won't get through to you (kiminai): I just watched the first episode because I wanted to see what that one new Japanese show was. Next thing I knew, I was first cleaning up terrible machine-translated subs, then (as of ep 4) translating from scratch. The show … it's nothing special, but it hits a LOT of right notes for me – I love the main characters, but also the supporting cast. All of them.

If it's with you (narakoi): cute, easy to watch, I love Ryuuji and the overall family dynamics and respect Amane's directness a lot. I also love the setting of this one.

One Room Angel: love the banter and Kouki's done-with-everything deadpan.

What Did You Eat Yesterday? (nanitabe): incredibly comforting to watch still. I do have moments of second-hand embarrassment with the occasional comedy scene, but overall, this is just peak. Food, grown adult protagonists, slice of life -- what's not to love?

I'm slightly (or extremely) behind on these shows, but consider them "currently watching" as they're not purposely on hold (Japanese is just easier on the brain atm):

I feel you linger in the air (currently 2 eps behind)

Love in Translation (1 ep behind)

Only Friends (…6? 7? eps behind)

Current favourite character: probably Kiminai's Hosaka Yui. He's SO DONE with his classmates' antics and still tries to be supportive to the best of his ability, but he'd never admit it. King behaviour.

Current WIP: subs for kiminai ep 7, tons of work stuff, some bits and bobs.
