#male idols esp cos i feel like they make the girl idols get a Lot more plastic surgery

[liu-yu-xin]

Omg you're so right about the 80% Taeyong 20% Luhan but to add to it he's giving Donghae in some pics so even more so, 3 generations of SM

Omg yeah i can see that. Thats also such an sm/lsm thing to do he loved chasing the high of the previous generation's top visual u can kind of see shadows of the previous generations in the idols lsm picked for the next generation that old man had such a specific vision

Well, I din say that boys can't be a Beroba but most Beroba prolly are girls. Just like how a girl may be a Zinn but most Zinns are probably boys. The Ziins/Berobas may only just be into BL or GL, or both. Kyuuns prolly just stick to het ships... the Kekeras tho? Hmmmm....

Also just because I listed out several points under each supporter it din mean one need to have all the criterias to be one 😃 A fan could have a bit of Kekera or Beroba or Ziin or Kyuun or a purist 😃

And I feel like each supporters gonna have two different interpretations/ behaviour since all four of them behave differently before and after knowing their oshi personally.

A Kekera could be a very supportive, loving and wholesome fan (and might go as far as excessively give gifts to their oshis) but may turn into an anti-fan if they felt that their oshis don't reciprocate their love the way they did. (But they may go back to their old loving self if their oshi showed some signs that they to appreciate them.) I feel that bit about Kyuun fit better for Kekera, like as much as Kyuun's words to Neon was harsh at the beginning.... it's more of Kyuun not being able to convey his thoughts proper. Cos Kekera did react extremely when Keiwa openly did smth that's not what they expect Keiwa to do.

While Kyuun can be very sasaeng-like, Kyuun wasn't the type to turn on his oshi like Kekera. Like as much as a Kyuun may not like it if their oshi get married or smth, if they saw that their oshi is happy they'll do everything to support them. Or at least, they're less harsh than Kekera.

A Ziin may become an obsessive fan (just like Kyuun) to want to know everything about their oshi but they prolly won't be too sasaeng-ish. But both (Ziin/Kyuun) may try to tone down on their fannish behaviour if their oshi aren't comfortable about it. The Kyuuns probably will get the hint quick (and struggling to do it and get misunderstood instead) but the Ziins might be slower in the uptake and only realise that they're overdoing it when their oshi get hurt (like how Ziin din expect digging into Mitsume would lead to them finding out some not so nice things. Oh wait, in this aspect... Kyuun wasn't really that far off cos as much as Kyuun din overdo it when he wanna find out more about Neon to get more ppl to love her, but his actions did led to Beroba finding out Neon's secrets?)

Ficwriter Ziin and Kyuun most likely have different ideas about how they like their fics written (esp on their ideas on what qualifies as a good end or wholesome/good content), but both would would obsessed on 'canon-accuracy' with different tolerance with regards to OOC.

Ziins' OOC tendencies are more directed to their oshi... they may intentionally (or unconsciously) overlook their oshi's flaw or exaggerate their oshi's 'fine' qualities to always portray them in a 'perfect' way. Like i feel a lot of Buff stans are like this. Kyuuns' OOC tendencies are more generalized (and it wouldn't just be focused on just their oshis). They may overdo it just to make their fics be the cutest, fluffiest thing ever. Like as much as I'm Beroba-ish as a writer, I'm a bit Kyuun-ish in that aspect.

Ficwriter Berobas most definitely be into BDSM lol and as much as they love bad boys, they get turned off easily if their bad boys were actually not what they thought they were/pretentious pricks. But still it's hard to move on from their ex-faves... Berobas are strangely loyalist in a weird way.

They would bemoan if their idol is put into therapy and be happy.

Kekeras are just stuck in toxic m/patriarchy, power male/female fantasies or archetypes. They think seeking help (with therapy or love) is weak and ppl should just toughen it up. They'll think that Batman is the example of the ideal hero - no, Batman can't do all those love things Batman don't do sex, Batman don't act merciful to their repenting enemies, heroes should always be brooding about justice and how evil is unending #eh

lol idk either, everyone had very subjective ideas about things 😂😂😂

Like personally I feel like as much as the four act differently to their oshis, a lot of their behaviours do still overlap... even if their extremities went on a different direction. Like Ziin to some extent do bear some kind of idealised opinions about Ace, but not to Kekera's extent of trying to directly change Keiwa when he thinks Keiwa veered away from his set 'template'. Or like how Beroba may act like she gave up on Michi when the guy went 'rainbow' no longer bad boy... but she still don't quite wanna let go. She's oddly tsundere about why she like Michi. But unlike Kyuun who's actually more deredere than tsun, Beroba's more tsun yet portray herself as yandere. At least, that's how I view it (Not that Kyuun don't still have a bit of tsun in him or Beroba don't have actual yandere traits, they do... but it's not always so clear cut)

@zaruba-needslove We need to spread the use of "Beroba", "Kekera", "Ziin", and "Kyuun" as fan categories in other fandoms... I think the chaos it'll create would be neat lol.

Osomatsu-san 17 – 25 | ReLIFE 1

The idea for ReLIFE from now on: Once all 2016 shows are done (rewatches or not), expect the 2016 ranking.

(ep 17)

Apparently Jyushimatsu was pretty popular in Japan, so they went with an entire episode on him…

Cup Noooooooooooodle, LOL.

I didn’t get the Comiket one…both times I saw it.

Oh yeah. This “my little Jyushimatsu” was hella popular after the guitar scene. I think.

Philosophical Jyushimatsu…but it doesn’t work without the volume.

Is Jyushimatsu Pan Jyushimatsu Bread or an actual Jyushimatsu…okay, I know what it is now.

Baseball references galore, so I’ll let this page explain it.

Omohide IIRC is an old fashioned term for omoide (memories).

(ep 18)

Well, it was true that Iyami was the protagonist of the anime in one series, alongside Chibita.

I really don’t want to explain references you probably know, okay?

If you stop at just the right moment (NSFW), it reminds you that “this anime is at your own risk”. There also seem to be comments from most of the other characters, including “fight dayo!”.

Hujistu (sic), LOL.

Three way explosion shot!

Crab shell, LOL. Plus, you’re not, Jyushimatsu.

The phomosis is apparently a piece of skin on the…erhem. Check it up yourself.

Chargin’ my lazor!!! (Once you notice they animated Todo during that lasering, you have to appreciate how much they upped the budget on this…)

Second lazoring!!!

I went back a few times through the ep, only to find Osomatsu’s sign says “Prank successful”.

(ep 19)

If I remember right, the episode was called “Shonosuke Hijirisawa-san” by CR standards, but…there’s no name to this episode for AnimeLab. Update: It’s called “Untitled” by both. My mistake.

Matsuo Basho was a poet who made haikus, hence the “dayon” making it have too many syllables.

Suiton-no-jutsu unfortunately has no Naruto-related resources that are on it, so I had to use the Naruto thing to find something on it…the one about duckweed (on the link) is the one you’re looking for, apparently.

The ghost one…haven’t you heard about the ghost who counts plates, Okiku?

The “Jyushi” in Jyushimatsu means 14, hence the motif.

There sems to be a sad undertone to the Joshimatsu segment this time. Like Showa Genroku or something.

Michiko Yokote was on staff this time. No wonder the Choromatsu Rising  part actually made me laugh both times I saw it.

(ep 20)

There was a flag on the title.

It’s a taco, not a kebab.

There is such a thing as horumonyaki, hence the yakisoba having ��hormone” on the sign.

The pigeon is at least well animated.

The school segment is one of the more notable ones…in that it got even more boring the second time around. I know it’s meant to be funny by how spontaneous it is, but it really is a waste of timeto watch twice…part of the joke here is that they’re meant to be yankees (delinquents…Japanese delinquent have a very specific style that takes off after American schools).

Ichimatsu speaks in arrows for the CR subs, but he speaks in mashed keyboard keys in the AnimeLab subs. Doesn’t matter anyway because it’s gibberish, but nice to know.

“Funny” is subjective,so really, Iyami, just do what can garner you the most laughs.

Dekapana and Dayon are treating the sextuplets like novice rakugoka.

Why are Iyami’s audience all girls?...Oh, I answered this question myself on the TV Tropes fridge page.

(ep 21)

There’s something long behind the title (two of them, actually), but I don’t know what they are. Update: They appear to be hachimaki (headbands normally used to psyche a mahjong player – or person doing any sort of other activity – up) or mahjong sticks.

I know nothing about (physical) mahjong…so sorry, I can’t explain anything here. There is a Detective Conan OVA that explains this stuff though (though I can’t remember anything I learnt from it since I watched it a while ago…). Basically, I’m just watching for the sake of (second) completion right now.

ESP Kitty! Hello again!

Is this an Akagi parody?

Karamatsu dabbed!

Okay, now I’m sure it’s an Akagi parody.

I’d like that life too, except with bishonen, Choromatsu. Unfortunately, you speak the truth…

Shehkai Teio appears to be a pun on something that I don’t know…The crowd at the races looks hilarious, though.

(ep 22)

Apparently the name “Totty” was meant to be a one-off.

Where’d the skirt come from? Don’t tell me Totty raided his mother’s closet! Now that’s the lowest of the low!

“…they were thrown off their pace?”

What’s the song for? At least it made me laugh, which in this second runthrough seems to be a lot rarer than the first time.

The mixer is at a place called “Maruya”.

Latematsu can be read “Osomatsu”, if you didn’t get it.

How does Osomatsu fit in a pot?

“Shiei” meaning “Death Shadow”…at least with those kanji. Likewise, “Shiya” means “Death Arrow” and “Shiyu” means “Death Oil”.

Well, these guys have absolutely no geography skillls either…because the globe showed Iyami and co. were in India when they were hauling around Chinese stereotypes.

(ep 23)

Sibling sabotage. Also known as the “bystander effect”.

I wonder whether Choro was barfing at the Dayon girl, too.

I think the Dayon lady on the very left of the chase scene is probably the creepiest one yet…

I never liked vomit humour, by the way.

I still don’t get any of Jyushimatsu’s jokes…

Fear and Drunkenness in Las Vegas…kinda sorta.

There’s a flag on the back wall in the Dayon girl’s house which says “effort”. At least, by the Chinese standard of the word.

You can see the younger three brothers trying to fit in by stretching their mouths, LOL.

Did you ever notice the chalk Matsus are drawn by a person wearing a Matsu suit?

There was a post-ep scene, but it was just a reshowing of Osomatsu sticking a piece of tissue up Ichimatsu’s nose…what.

(ep 24)

Ongaku meaning “music”, so...

First I’ve heard of this song…welp, here you go.

“Bottom feeder” takes on a whole new meaning for the fish idol.

The…the feels…I know all your feels, Choromatsu…

Everyone! Are we all on the feels train right now?

Leaving that half…is surprisingly considerate of Ichimatsu.

Hey! It’s the couple from the Christmas episode.

(ep 25) [Trigger warning: Brief mention of seppuku…but you knew that already, didn’t you?]

Welp. Last ep. I may have complained about how the humour in this is pretty much sucked out by watching (most of) it a second time, but…every anime is an adventure. Remember that.

Wait, what’s an invitational?

Ichimatsu apparently got caught in the flow of “Nice!”s, only to get caught up in Karamatsu’s one. LOL.

The Koushien is a high school baseball tournament. For some reason, baseball is crazily popular in the Japanese world.

Owch, Osomatsu…

Karamatsu! He dabs!

A bean ball?...Oh, a bean ball. Okay. (I don’t quite get baseball, but I understand this, at least.)

French people don’t even play baseball…well, most of them.

Iyami’s shirt has 183 on it…or in goroawase, i-ya-mi.

Apparently Totoko did the male version of seppuku…which suits her character very well.

What in great Dante’s inferno, Karamatsu…?

Welp, that’s the end of that. The JRA special was excluded because I got bored of the series before even getting this far, as well as it not having anything I can talk about.

(ReLIFE ep 1)

Ah…the nostalgia only an anime can bring…It’s always extremely satisfying to see an anime of a manga you’ve known since it was an unknown. 

Did you spot the cat on the TV a few seconds into the episode? It’s Hishiron’s LINE cat!

Haha, I know your feels too well, Arata.

The humour in this is quite quick, but it hits when it needs to.

Yoake was my Dazai (Bungou Stray Dogs) before I knew about Dazai. Why? Gadfly traits.

“Yoake” means “daybreak” and is apparently the name of a train station in Japan.

Interesting how they leave Arata in shadow until the reveal. The reason why I decided to start this series was because it was somewhat like Detective Conan.

I’ve always though the showing of a phone is integral to a show set in modern times, but in order for a show to be timeless, you can’t show too much of its or what model it is…That’s why “White Parasite” is the only one to feature a phone out of 3 Honeyfeed stories.

The iconic thing about ReLIFE is the clean, minimalistic designs, so the OP really suits this show.

A-hah. I thought they were organised according to hiragana character (roll number), which is fairly usual in anime…hence the thing I left on the ReLIFE Fridge page.

Formal speech is too formal if you’re using it with classmates (regardless of language)…so yeah.

Note Kariu and Oga are close in physical proximity to Kaizaki.

The Going Straight Home club, as I’ve mentioned in earlier times, is…no club at all.

Scanlations called Oga “Flashy Oga”, but “Showga” seems to work better than that.

Notice the word used in the CR subs is “pencil box”. Pencil case in Japanese is fudebako, the bako bit meaning “box”.

CR subs are acting up sometimes (they change font at the end of sentences)…what in Dante’s inferno…

Rules of Japanese: never use a first name unless given permission. For girls, it’s much more likely you can get permission. Of course, if you’re good friends, you can get permission easily too.
