i should be writing a response paper for tomorrow's class, but i don't wanna~ so i thought i'd write one here instead. 8D
Himuro, Hoshino YES, and my third reason is Kuramochi/Himuro because honestly. i actually shipped them in a bromance way at the beginning, but around the 3rd ep i was already so fed up with this drama that i started to ship them in a very sexual way to entertain myself it worked. if they get Himuro killed, i'll be ripping the veins out of my wrists with my teeth. and yes, Sakai Masato always seems like such a nice guy, i was surprised how convincing he is as an asshole. i share your sentiment about Hoshino too and this! And he showed Einstein around Kyoto. That attests to his awesomeness enough. <3 the best ever. <333
and that's probably all the good stuff as far as i'm concerned, everything else... everything else about this drama makes me constantly want to rip those veins out and it has to be pure masochism that keeps me watching still. the predictability! the melodrama! the nationalistic propaganda! the inspiring speeches! [counted 1 per 30 minutes for the first 2 eps, then stopped counting] the tears! [i'll be the first to D'AWWW at the man tears, particularly if Kimu's involved, but THERE'S JUST TOO FUCKING MUCH. give me at least one ep without watering eyes, please!] I CANNOT ALL THIS. i suppose it wouldn't be all that bad if they accumulated all the aforementioned in final eps, that would be to be expected, but couldn't it develop gradually, for fuck's sake? do they have to overload every freaking episode with these things? I CAN'T WATCH IT SERIOUSLY THIS WAY.
I have a thing for male camaraderie in harrowing situations YES AND MORE YES. which pisses me off even more because it could've, could have been such a great drama, the setting is perfect [i really like that they've been focusing more on the crew than the dogs so far] but they just so royally screwed it with the predictability! melodrama! the dramatism, emotionalism, pomposity, i don't even know how to call it! the sugar-coatedness! the man tears everywhere! ugh, won't their eyes freeze if they'll keep on crying in -30 C all the time?
but is anybody else feeling like nankyoku is similar to karei-naru? NO, DON'T PUT THIS THING ANYWHERE NEAR THE FLAWLESSNESS THAT IS KAREI NARU yeah, kind of, particularly the first ep. because of the narration and the workers too. not much else, though, sadly. but it does make me want to go re-watch Karei Naru as soon as possible, to get rid of the bad taste in my mouth that Nankyoku leaves.
i did think that Miyuki/Kuramochi were cute at the beginning, now i want both Kuramochi and Himuro to come back and marry her and for them to live a happy threesome life. no, i wouldn't be projecting my own fantasies here, would i? in other words, i totally don't care about the-late-wife-that's-barely-mentioned-anyway. but, I bet the show will do smth to illustrate Nakama's blessings from beyond, show that she approves and make them getting together look good and then I will roll my eyes/shake my head/pffft more than usual and be pissed for the rest of my days. ohgod, i can see this happening. D: this is gonna be another vein-ripping moment, if it happens.
Kuramochi himself is... i don't know. i sure am biased as hell is wide, and that's probably the only reason i even care about him, his typical hero character comes across so blah next to the other, more interesting characters. makes me think he's only there to be cute and heartbreaking [it's like he could be one of the dogs, seriously], which in turn annoys me, because it's just bad scriptwriting again. basically all the flaws of this show are due to bad scriptwriting, because everything else is great, the cast is great, it's so well-made, it's clear that a lot of work was put into it - why does it have to be wasted so badly?
my only hope is that it still might get better. unless they, you know, KILL HIMURO OFF. IN WHICH CASE THIS IS JUST A SHIPWRECK SINKING STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM. ♥
so do you still feel like a bad person? XD and those gifs are way more beautiful than this drama deserves.
