I love you in ways you don't even wanna' know this post was totally worth it.
You've pretty much summed up so many of feelings in a better and more bitter way that i don't think i would've been able to manage completely on the post because i'm self conscious like that, lol, so i was waiting for your comment instead so i could let loose all the ruder things i wanted to say here XD;;
i started to ship them in a very sexual way to entertain myself it worked. I've been trying not to, without much success tbh but I'm not admitting that lol, just because I really don't want to resort to writing fic about them or smth because it'd just be so easy to and again one of those restraint and should-work-on-unfinished-shit-instead sort of things. But I looooove their budding dynamic and c'mon now show, WE NEED THEM TO MEND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WHICH MEANS HIMURO CAN'T DIE. I will file very official-like complaints if he dies. No, srsly, I'll learn kanji, and then proceed to die once they've all been sent. 8|
I may or may have not wished Himuro was the lead more than a couple of times too and felt bad about it.
But uhh, the point I was trying to make was that YESSSS, take away those things and I would've dropped this a long time ago, ngl. And I'm one of those people who like, when they drop things keeps saying they'll return to it eventually but in reality never really does, heh.
the predictability! the melodrama! the nationalistic propaganda! the inspiring speeches! the tears! I CANNOT ALL THIS. ESPECIALLY THOSE LAST THREE WHICH I DIDN'T EVEN REALLY MENTION BUT JFC YES. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with these things when they're scattered about in reasonable amounts and you know, over a space of time. But here, like you said, this shit's forced and funnelled into every nook and cranny they can get And Then Some. TBH, considering the way the rating's seem to be going, I sort of get the feeling even the Japanese audience isn't really feeling these things and ofc on top of all those other things like target audience, other airing dramas, etcetc. but i wouldn't be a bit surprised if this UNNECESSARY OVERLOAD was some of the reason. Omg, the man tears, I still cry since there's only so much I can do, I'm weak and human and whatever, but it annoys me to no end when I do unless it involves Himuro or smth.
But exactly! It had so much potential before it started airing and we were hearing all these things and sure, it's still epic outside of these things we've mentioned, but it's not great and really now, how did that happen? How do you make a group of men working together on a big ass iceberg for a year and all the tensions sexual or not and camaraderie that would grow out of that NOT be amazing? Gdi. Maybe it would've worked out better if it was a silent drama instead. /snark has become one of the most effective weapons won't their eyes freeze if they'll keep on crying in -30 C all the time? Guffawed like mad and this is the most valid point yet. <333
I APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY FOR ATTEMPTING TO PUT NAKYOKU AND KAREI NARU IN THE SAME ENTRY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY FLAWFREE DRAMA IS OBVIOUSLY FLAWFREE Re-watching karei naru after this is all done might be the only light at the end of the tunnel at this point.
Hmm, polygamy you say? At least I wouldn't have called it and i'm all for fantasy-projecting 8DD. I'm kind of a little curious about Kuramochi's marriage though, or more like surprised they haven't really touched on it yet and I guess anything that doesn't put Miyuki and him together |D;; I srsly ship him with every other person on the show and idgi - why does it bother me that they're in-laws and clearly have feelings for each other, etcetc? I'm sure it's not as weird back then for them to marry and whatever then I'm making it out to be, but I'm also making it a bigger deal than it needs to be so I'm just going to sit somewhere else and look forward to Kuramochi/Himuro instead.
