The first series is so good, wow. I won't even say anything about it being better than Aloha, because that's obvious, but the starting-ish cast (currently on episode 19) has much better chemistry than people in the second series. It's a joy to watch, although you can see that editors got much better with scene cuts in later series, especially cliffhangers, they often feel like being on screen for just a few seconds too long.
So I got my sister watching "Next Door" when I finally started, then showed her some "In the City". Maybe it was the Makoto drama or any drama in comparison, but she definitely preferred "Next Door" and wanted to go back to it lol.
Also regarding "Next Door" it's great watching it evolve and reaching the point where the panel finally joins. It was also entertaining to see the panels auditions where they were saying they were "Terrace House Fanatics". But ultimately we know they end up having fantastic chemistry and charisma to carry the series on the side.

Tbh., watching through the beginning of Next Door I don't miss the panel as much as I though. Will be happy when the full crew finally appears, but uninterrupted watching is cool too.
I started watching the first season last night...and I haven't stopped. I'm on episode 12 or 13 I think? The second episode with the kickboxer.
I miss the old cast. I know the new people just joined but I'm not feeling them at all :/
Did a lot of people feel this way and is it worth it to keep going? Any unexpected things end up happening?

Honestly this is where it starts getting better and better. Daiki and the 3 next new members stay a long time, and they were a joy to watch imo. I didn't care much for the starting cast actually.
Agreed. A bit later on, but Tetsu, Daiki and Yosuke Terrace House was some of the best.
Didn't realize we had a TH OT here.
I'm not done with Aloha State yet but yeah it is a lot worse than Boys and Girls In the City. I'm enjoying it but it is worse both cast and location wise.
The Panel is the best though, in both seasons, I love them <3.
By the way, what did people think of the meat incident when it happened? I can't believe how much drama that caused but I loved the panel reactions to it all. Haha <3.
I hope the new season isn't split up the way Aloha State was. That was annoying :/
Side note: I wish we had the original series on Netflix outside of Japan. :(

Someone can correct me because I might be completely wrong about this but while glancing through the Fuji TV FOD I only see 3 episodes missing (13, 26 and 62) from the original.
The whole relationship between Minori and Meat Guy(I forget his name) was weird. It was like they barely communicated and when they did it was extremely cagey and passive aggressive. I wasn't a huge fan of Minori, but still was a bit bewildered as to what she saw in him.
I checked a long time ago (well, more than a year ago) and it was missing more episodes. Cool to see they finally put them up.
That meat looked like it was very expensive, and I definitely think they shouldn't have just eaten it like that.
Decided to skip Aloha Stae based on most of the feedback. Might check out the new one whenever it releases on German Netflix.
Loved BOYS & GIRLS IN THE CITY. Randomly saw someone in the German community thread mention it last year, gave it a try not expecting much, but then I was hooked as hell, lol. Like a more classy, civil version of Big Brother. It was really interesting to see how Japanese folks interact in and handle these kinds of social situations. And man, the comedian panels in between were hilarious :D

Expensive gift from a client + he looked a bit stressed out with other stuff, this was the last straw, so yeah I get why he would be mad.
Been catching up on Aloha State recently and although it started slow, I'm a couple eps into part 4 now and I'm back to loving the show again! Taishi's whole arc this season has really been the highlight, especially because of the couch's reactions to it. Kinda bummed Kentaro's not gonna be in the next season, he's gotten much more entertaining as the season's gone on.
When I first found out about B&GITC, watching one episode every night right before bed became my favorite part of my daily routine, so only getting a few episodes every couple months really threw me off at first. Although I guess at some point I'll be able to watch the entire original series that way!

"...It was okay."
My wife and I marathoned most of the subbed In The City last weekend and the wait for a new episode every few days is KILLING me. Very good so far though, but now that Seina's left it feels like everyone is looking for their place in the overall dynamic. And yes... Oji is real weird. But not in a bad way!
I need to start watching BGND lol
It was just presented very poorly due to how passive aggressive Uchi and Minori were towards each other. The core of the drama was how bad their communication was; instead of being straight with each other, Uchi had let all of those issues with Minori pile up so the this meat incident finally triggered an emotional breakdown.
That being said, that meat was very expensive and meant a lot as a reward for his hard work, and she clearly ate it to spite him.

'This show is my guilty pleasure. I was watching Boys and Girls in the City without telling my fiance, because I thought she'd mock me. Then she discovered my view history on my Netflix profile while I was at work and started watching it herself. She got more addicted than I did, lol.
I haven't been able to get through all of Aloha State though...
High hopes for the new season.

Aloha State isn't something I'd wholesomely recommend to folks, but it did spawn some good housemates. Such as the ones listed above. Guy, Chikako, Taishi. (love/hate but made for a great arc and finale.)
Meanwhile, thinking about it while rewatching it a second time over the holiday weekend. The meat incident was some pretty major drama, but I appreciated that it ended up further developing Minori and Uchi.
However that said about their relationship

I believe they're not together anymore

I think Aloha blew it for many people with the starting cast. Later it gets better (although never reaching the other series' highs imo), but the start is a huge slog, since there's no chemistry and everyone just wants to chill out.
That's what blew my mind in the very beginning of the first series - everyone's proactive ALL THE TIME. Interesting TV!
Speaking of couples
Apparently Seina and Daiki also broke up a while ago.
He does for 1 episode
Subbed to the thread.
Wife and I saw boys and girls in the city, loved it. Were on the last 3 episodes of Aloha State, it's been a bit of a slog/less memorable. It only really picked up in the last season.
Our favourites:
- Han-san
- Barista
- Minori
- Guy
- Yusuke
- Yuriko
- Tap
- Arman
- Lauren
- Arisa

Ahh.
I hope it's someone from Aloha State. It'll probably be Lauren/Wes if they're still in Japan. I'd really like it if Guy or Taishi or Chikako shows up.
I just checked Chikakos Instagram and apparently her/Taishi hit their 5 month anniversary
I'm open to having multiple returning guests though.
As far as I know, all the couples from Aloha State are going strong
and seeing Chikakos posts, she really misses her other half etc. Good for her and Taishi :D Avian/Yuya still going strong, and big shout outs to Arman and Masako for going even longer.
There's fansubs for Next Door in the works! They're moving pretty fast. 31 of the 100 or so!
I dunno, it looked like your typical 1-2 glasses of wine a day.
Although meant to say for Aloha State but had to give them a shout out. Because Arman is the best. And his other half too.
There's also a question of Yuuki and Misaki. But it seems the issue is he wiped all his social media a little before getting on the show, and with Misaki being an idol or so, they can't really show them being together publicly. However, a recent photo of the "In the City" cast reunion was showing Yuuki being pretty close to Nacchan. But maybe we're reading too much into it.
Also an In the City housemate current update!
Arisa is getting married! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bb4FUP7jVSL/
Also re: the Couples as of oct from their instagrams:
Also folks wanting to help support Costco fansubs (lol @ the name) on their efforts on subbing "Next Door", there's a Patreon up:
https://www.patreon.com/CostcoSubs
Mind you all Costco does is release subtitle files, not the actual episodes or anything. For that you'll need Netflix Japan or so.

Don't get me wrong, I was very very well aware of what the crux of the issue was about and that it was about more than just the meat. I just found it funny that the meat was the straw that broke the camels backs. I don't know what but I thought it'd have been something else that would finally do it.
Yeah, empressdonna let me know some weeks ago (and I finally started getting them yesterday so I can binge watch them when I get time) but it'd be nice to have an official way to watch with official subs for them.
Oh no, totally, I agree. Sorry if my tone came off as argumentative.
I believe so, yeah.
No worries ^^
In other news: Checked out the first two eps of BxGND. Interesting eps. I loved the reaction of Momo to Rie being in the house.
Place also looks lovely but I laughed at the stairs in front of the entrance. I don't know why, I just laughed at them having to carry their luggage up the stairs before they could relax and meet the others
I also like the start up stuff with YOU (how do you pronounce this? Yo-uuuu? I don't hear the others say it enough to recognize it or anything) in the car. Though I can't wait for the panel to first show themselves.
I wish Netflix would just translate Next Door for the US. I don't really want to bother with setting up the fan subs and watching the eps on my PC.
I know right?
Do we know if it a licencing issue or something?
clockstrikes thanks for your reply! I think they could make a nice couple.
Stuart444 YOU also works as an actress for J-dramas. She was good in Mondai no aru Restaurant and Reverse.

Is it? Lol, I was just thinking of it in terms of syllables like with most JP names (ie sei-na, u-chi, etc), in this case Yo-u but cool then :).
Gotta admit, took me a while to remember all the panel names. Yamasato is my favourite, along with Tori. Tokui is cool too (well all of them are XD)
Good to know :)
I think they avoid gay representation on the show because it might interfere with their three girls/guys relationship drama? I dunno. I think it would be really cool to see LBGTQ Terrace House members. I don't know much about how Japan stands on that front.
The form you have to fill if you want to become a member in the show asks "What do you look for in the opposite sex" so...
Japan isn't really progressive in terms of LBGT unfortunately. Maybe in the near future.
Yeah it's a shame
Maybe in a few years the culture will accommodate for more variety, though they'd probably have to increase the number of housemates too
Anyone have any Terrace House Conspiracy Theories? Like I've heard speculation of a cast member being asked to leave by production, but is there anything else people have wondered if there is more behind what we're shown?
