Well, I've finished Aloha State, like has been said, not as good as B&GITC but enjoyable enough I guess.
I really came around to Taishi in the end, his whole thing with Chikako was very adorable and cute and I felt the panel were a bit harsh on him at times. But they were all happy to see him be rewarded for his efforts with Chikako. I'm very happy for both of them. Even more so since they are still together.
Cheri, I did a complete 180 on. I liked her at first but later on, she shows her true colours. The house meeting itself showed plenty. She refused to accept any responsibility and said people should try and understand her without her giving anything. It was all take take take for her and that people should be understanding of her. She even admitted outright to not caring about what goes on in the house and that she is focusing on her life outside of it and having a go at anyone who says otherwise.
It seems like she may have at least reconciled somewhat with Taishi by the end based on the drinks when they (Taishi and Chika) got back from their date and by the hug at the end before Cheri and the others left but Cheri's attitude really soured me on her. Not to mention messing Eric around and thinking that's okay after what she said to Taishi early on (which I even agreed with her on). I really disliked that.
I'm sad that we didn't get to see Mariko or Ryo too much though but they came in late so I guess it couldn't be helped. Ryo was a really nice guy and his voice was rather smoothing. We didn't get to see too much of Mariko at all but I did like her.
Wez, I can see what you guys were talking about. He was hardly in it unless it was to do with his career and his responses when asked for his opinion on things like at the meeting. He's not the worse person there obviously but he just seemed so... eh. I don't know how to say it but his whole mendokusai attitude lol. Can't be bothered with anything that requires a modicum of effort unless it's to do with his career.
Maybe it's just the way they edited it? But all I can comment on is what I watched.
I also felt like the panel were very stereotypical when it came to their attitudes in regards to stuff like the men should be like this and stuff like that (such as commenting on Taishi seeming like a girl) but I suppose that's just a traditionalist viewpoint maybe? I'm not a fan of it but I still like the panel of course. :D
Still overall, I liked the series but yeah it wasn't as good as B&GITC.
