Misaki Number One!! Episode 10

this could’ve been something.

I’ve always looked at nagase & hoshida as the designated idiots of the group who are interchangeable but when you look at their friend+group they are kind’ve the best two handled. yui & kitayama are the cooler level+headed members of the team but their over+laps make them are a larger conflict of interest than nagase & hoshida. misaki was speaking about the ways each student she’s helped has grown & when she started takking about learning to cherish your parents i thought of kitayama & then the camera panned to yui ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ but i want to talk about fujigaya inm particular. he’s the main character of the group. but we don’t really learn anything specific to him nor does he really represent anything as the representative of 2–z. they all have particularly fascinating circumstances of being kids from privilege or earning privilege in the case of hoshida getting a schoalr+ship. however many different factors all brought them to being out+cast into a class made especially to humiliate them. i do think what’s important is that fujigAYa got to change & focusing on that but it makes him feel bland with the rest of the students. what in particular is special about him from any othe rdelinquent character we have seen again & again & again ？｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i did just now find out that the『 gokusen 』production team brought this show together so it’s not an issue of stealing it’s an issue of being lazy & reguritating the same tropes the same episodes the same character & stories over & over again. each season of gokusen was worse than the last & now this is tied into that too ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ misaki doesn’t really get to stand on her own as a unique character. she has a SLIGHTLY different personality but she’s srill as oblivious as yamaguchi is for no good reason. she’s a hostess not a new+born. in fact she’s a hostess she should have a lot stronger grasp on things. I’m also like extremely surprised we got to the end of the show with no pedophilic under+tones that’s an actual feat ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ but all in all i am okay with this show. bevcause there’s enough for me to enjoy to want to buy a box+set. most of the selling point of these dramas is to appeal to the idol stans & i even habve multiple kamen riders & sentais & even SENSHI in the cast to stare at. i do think this was a let+down of a really fun prompt because thewy weren’t really engaged with seeing a kyabajo teacher prove herself & her misunderstood students they wanted gokusen the fourth series. i also don’t even feel like commenting on the vice principal becaus e she was also azn unfortunate dissappoint who had to start as a caricature rather than a nuanced person ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ but with all that out of the way i generally actually really liked this conclusion. the kids are sweet & they’re still kids who will kick their feet but they’re good of heart & would want to do better. i think the ending was a little rushed & i assumed this would have an additional fifteen minutes but unfortunately not. that time could’ve really helped. i did have a fun time though. this was a nice three days. it wasn’t actually i lived through hell since starting but like i made it through hehe. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ one more final thing. as i was typing up a head+line. this could’ve been something. there were a lot of moments that felt really interesting & i am sad they didn’t feel like exploring those angles. i really wish they had the ambition to do something exciting. your audience is idol fans anyways we’re going to watch no matter what you might as well take advantage of that freedom.
