I'm just hoping for some real in-the-fuzz otters to show up sometime. Maybe the evil emporer is an adorable lil otter malcontent in a big chair w a cigar. Edit: And a hat. Evil Otter Emporer's gotta have a hat. Pootybutt fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Apr 29, 2019 |

God I hope next episode follows through with the kidnapping/switch at the meet and greet. That stinger...my gut reaction is the burden of dealing with a younger sibling who clearly needs a lot of attention and care? But it's Ikuhara so I'm expecting to be bamboozled. I'd forgotten about the many uses of soba but it was also played with in Yurikuma Arashi!

I feel like now we have a mapping of the three main characters on to Kazuki is 'no beginning', in that I think his issue is conflicting desires - so the purity of his desire to 'connect' is suspect. So, "I want to connect, but I want to [something else]". Enta is "no end", in that he suspects his desire to connect is inherently futile - "I want to connect, but it's not meant to be". Toi is more about the immediate distance, and so 'no connection' - "I Want to Connect, but You're So Far Away "

This show is an extended buttsex/poop joke. Edit: I just hit the central conceit of episode 2 and okay, this show is pretty good. Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 14:22 on May 3, 2019 |

coronatae posted:God I hope next episode follows through with the kidnapping/switch at the meet and greet. That might be a part of it but there is probably more to it. If Haruka is even more hosed up than he appears to be, like dying, then it could be that Kazuki is reminded and finds it painful to connect as his brother. Keeping his distance might be a sort of a defense mechanism.

Cephas posted:Enta: I haven't seen Kazuki smile in such a long time. It's like something has changed in him. I mean I agree - the pretending-to-be-Sara thing is too contrived to be an excuse - but Kazuki is clearly intentionally mimicking Sara's affect and isn't actually happy or anything. You know how fake that TV stuff gets.

I think that his happiness and energy while he's crossdressing as Sara are genuine, don't know if it's a trans situation or just really wanting to crossdress situation or something else.

If kazuki didn't enjoy being Sara on some level then he would not channel her every moment he puts the costume on. There's no need to. He just has to act the part while taking the picture. But as soon as the dress goes on he transforms into a different person, and he's very unlikely to secretly be a method actor.

The whole thing makes zero sense otherwise, it’d feel like one of those contrived situations you see in trashy manga. I would assume Ikuhara has a better point than that. The “I’m doing this to connect with my brother” is a bullshit excuse, but a common one.

Ene in a more general sense, there's plenty of examples of people doing so something seemingly selfless in service of selfish desires. But there is a distinction between people who do so maliciously, and cases like this where it's more of a psychological coping method.

Really liked the visuals this episode. When Kazuki's granpa tells him the BIG SHOCKER the people in the room all shifted from normal to background characters. I noticed how distant he was with his family the first time they showed up but wasnt really expecting that to be the case. A kid his age will be pretty lost if that was thrust on him. Heavy poo poo, feels like an inverse of one of Penguindrums main points. The scene immediately after with the flickering light evoking a slasher film was hilarious and a huge emotional whiplash Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 21:13 on May 9, 2019 |

Cao Ni Ma posted:I mean all of them have been fetishes, its just this one a more common one Yes, they're all fetishes, but I remember seeing several explanations by others in the past that involved them not being fetishes. He just wants to be taken care of by his girlfriend (he's not into pet play), he just wants to remember being close to her (he's not into drinking her bath water), etc.

I don't think it's a trans thing. With the scene in the latest ep I'm seeing it way more as him basically totally dissociating. The only way he can feel love is if he's someone else, and what better target to pick than an idol? Everyone loves an idol. Even your family loves them, like they can't love you.

I haven't entirely discounted the idea that there's something gender-related going on in his head, but it's also really over-the-top and desperate as a response to guilt, in the same way that stealing someone's cat is. Haruka wants to feel special and is a fan of Sara, ok I'll make it so that he has all the Sara he could ever want. The fully changing aspect is also possibly indicative of, like... him wanting to create a "new" self entirely unburdened by everything he normally has going on
