We're simultaneously watching the subs from costcosubs and the OND episodes and no new OND this week + so many costcosubs patreon eps last week (like, 5) are making it so tough right now with nothing new to watch :( :( :(

That goes both for him and Nakamura. Overall just loving this cast. Very family oriented thus far

Indeed, love them myself.

Also I continue to love the panel and their comments like Yama-chan's look during the bit where "It looks to be a very moving season" (or something like that), made me laugh.

I miss the kid from Aloha State but I like the new one in the panel now.

edit: Caught up to Week 12 of Terrace House BxGND and well... wow.

The goodbyes were hard to watch. ;_; Momo crying and Sho-kun breaking down.

And then the letter and Tecchan's crying. ;_; that letter was rather sweet of Ma-kun.

Great first season of Terrace House honestly.

Just watched the first 2 eps of Season 2 of BxGND...

Sho-kun, ;_; I'm gonna miss him. What a cliche way to go, writing a note on the board and getting Tecchan to drive him to the station.

Also Poor Tecchan, he's lost his two older brother figures now :(.

I loved their friendship between all of the original cast so it's sad that 3 have left now.

New girl seems cool though, Hana-chan.

(also yay at Tori-chan being on the show now)

I'm doing this too and we're more or less at the same episode. I'm trying to watch as quickly as possible so as to get to the part where they integrate the rest of the viewing cast.

It's kinda crazy how many people from the show ended up going on Japanese TV after this tho. Imai Hana was huuuuuuuuuuuge.

Just saw this article about Lauren on reddit.

Also just finished episode episode 5 of BxGND (might watch some more tonight depending on how I feel). I love how the original 6 seem to have that fist bump thing even when meeting up with Sho/Ma-kun after they have left.

edit: also I just saw this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/terracehou...ans_on_th_production/?st=JCF9RFR4&sh=0c1f4891

But even here, Tsai surprises by refuting one of the central tenets of the show's success — the "realism" of the show.

"It's probably the least real reality show," she claims. The show was filmed "like a Japanese drama," in her words, meaning the cameras aren't around all day. Rather, the film crew comes around the house a few hours every night, or if there's a filmable excursion, like a group trip or a date. For the other 20 or so hours every day the cast is told "not to talk" since the cameras aren't there.

"But it's like, what are we supposed to do for the entire day? So, obviously, we did stuff and talked and then that caused a lot of tension between the people living there and the producers … so it was stressful."

It's true that the show isn't scripted (as they re-emphasize at the start of each episode), but the stories are edited and contrived. "It was non-scripted, but at the same time it was extremely scripted," Tsai explains. "We only filmed a couple hours a day and not even every day, so what you say is what they tell you to say, like 'talk about that thing' or 'talk about how you feel about that person.' So they don't tell us exactly what to say, but they know what kind of story they want to edit in their minds, so they force the content to be created." The editing afterwards also gave the producers a lot of power to manipulate the drama, which made watching the show afterwards unbearable for all its cast members.

It was apparently deleted from the original website that it was posted on though.

That was obvious considering the shit that happened with Hayato and Riko in BIGITC

I would think too that it would be exacerbated with the way they lived in AS vs the other series. If the housemates are all working, getting home at 10+ at night, it's a lot easier to get what you need recorded.

Anyone else keeping up with the costco patreon releases?

Yeah, I know it's obvious as they don't have camera's built into the house or anything like Big Brother does lol. Just interesting to see someone come out with it.

I suppose the real surprise is, being told to say nothing anytime the cameras aren't there. That is quite unrealistic.

Finishing up Aloha State and I can't believe Cheri. Jesus Christ, what a piece of work. Is she as hated amongst everyone else as she is in my head?

I liked the last part of AS a lot but it's very plodding to get there.

I honestly didn't see that big of a difference between In the City and Aloha State.

That being said, I enjoyed ITC more. I just can't decide if I love Chikako or Martha more...

Episode 5 of OND
Yuudai getting lectured by drunk Mizuki while calm and collected Nakamura was here was a good moment tbh.
They all want him to succeed so it's understandable that they kinda dogpile on him but I don't think they were harsh at all. Should be a nice arc to follow.
Also, more Tsubasa being sweet and pure <3
It keeps getting better and better, what a great cast. They all work so well together, makes up for Aloha State and the cardboard cutouts we had.

Episode 5 of OND
I was surprised at how raw they can already be together after 5 weeks. It's a good sign. I really wanted to know, though, if Yuudai *actually* bought anything or if he was just flirting with the idea. Because to me, consoling himself that he "could get something if he wants to" is probably just him desperately trying to look more adult/independent than he is. I'm glad he doesn't seem bitter or broken up about it.
Also I am HERE for Shion & Tsubasa omg. That was just so sweet. I do hope she gets to be around a little bit more! Too bad she's a Blackhawks fan.... ;D
It is weird watching this at the same time I'm watching BXGND but they're complementing each other really well right now!

I liked Mizuki in this episode. I love a girl who can get drunk and speak her mind even if it bothers everyone else in the room, like Natsumi.

Anyone know when OND airs in the UK? Sat down to start watching it and was horrified to see it wasn't available yet

Today's episode... just wow.

Yudai is a real piece of work man. I wish I knew what was going on his head. The girl obviously cannot stand you, why on earth would you ask her on a date AND ON TOP OF THAT take her to a place people only go during the summer the day after it fucking snowed AND THEN it wasn't even the type of place she wanted to go.

アスレチック事件 indeed.

Yuudai makes Yusuke seem not so bad with women after all.
Man that date with Ami was uncomfortable to watch. Just no chemistry whatsoever.

And it's not just women he's bad with. He seems like a really immature person.

By the way, shame we didn't see any of
Mizuki

I haven't seen the episode yet but I'm feeling bad for Yuudai. Not everyone is great with women and he's still young :(.

I mean I guess it's easy to judge someone you don't know for being awkward but still :(

(maybe I won't feel so bad for him when I watch the episode but still...

Yusuke sucked with women but he tried hard and came out of the show with a positive image (IMO). Yuudai gets advice all the time but he won't listen.

I can't remember much about Yusuke outside of his music stuff...

huh, I guess Aloha State early on really is forgettable.

Still, Yuudai is young. I think/hope that the other two guys can be more hard on him and maybe it will help? I mean some people probably respond to tough love more than calm advice?

Gotta admit though, after reading all about this ep, I'm looking forward to it for the panel. Panel is always fun to watch :D

It's kinda dangerous I feel to backseat call him on the spectrum, but the complete lack of awareness and ability to read people makes me think he might be? He could also just be someone who was babied to an extreme and is not used to getting what he wants, or it could be both?
