Taishi Miwa

Another Kimura Hisashi masterclass, I hope that he did not bottle it in this 2nd half.

That twist!!!!!

But it will be better if they're using a lesser-known actor.

If this was made in late 90's to late 00's it could be an instant classic.

If only they have a bigger budget, could be "marketable" for general audienc.

Fresh Uni>Mackerel

facts.

That running joke between Doi and Asahi.

So far we have :

Founder/Top Rank:
Ace
Joker

Mid rank:
Queen

Low rank:
Spade
Clover

Knowing Tsutsumi Yukihiko, pretty sure it won't ends here. There may be a lot of unanswered question.

I guess Driver (Suzuki Ryohei) is Diamond/Heart or maybe Jack. Interesting to figure out whose going to be King.

Also I assume that one of the gossiping doctors or The Okami is going to be Diamond/Heart.

This is from Japanese novel....

You mean Ina Bauer???

I think there will be a 4th cycle, that's where the big plot kicks in (Uno Mari, "How to be reincarnated as human", and A-chin finally winning her debate with Mita Kong.

3rd cycle is a filler arc where Bakarythm use Japanese pop culture (Mainly J-drama) as the joke.

-Narration by Yamaguchi Yuriko
-EVA font
-EM20
-The way they congratulate Muga lol

Shame that they did not use Anno's unorthodox camera angle in that scene and each of the crew say "Omedetou" to Muga-san.

THAT EVANGELION reference on episode 4 LMAO.

Issue with Kimura Fumino is that her character depth is half-cooked. Her background/past only explained trough small dialogue and her arc had an anticlimactic end.

Actually it's more of Satomi's spin-off because they summarize some key event in Keizoku, including some og character's fate.

Saburo have some superhuman genetics???? surviving that kind of fall without major injury????? WTF ARE YOU DOING KANTOKU-san.

Should've used KR style mask with suit actors instead of this kind of mask, it will conceal their identity better.

it's going to be a "popcorn" drama, nothing extraordinary other than....

Episode 3 have an interesting turn, also did not expect that Suzuki Ryohei cameo.

"that" lady is obviously Uno Mari, right?

I think that is one of mystery J-drama weaknesses, just pick the most famous person on that group to be the culprit/leader lol.

Decent follow-up, but could've focused on 1 story and develop it into a more suspenseful movie. The cgi/slow-mo water scenes are annoying.

Love some meta humor like they were conscious that EnKen was occasionally casted as Villain and Yashima Norito is the narrator of the story.

not retired yet, went MIA (from public) after leaving her agency.
