Episode 15 with dinner and then I have to do my schoolwork for real. I've been saying it all day & putting it off
ALKFGDJHD YEAH I EXPECTED AS MUCH
CHIBITA IN THE MAID'S OUTFIT SCREAMSSSSSSSSSS DIDN'T YOU LEARN FROM LAST TIME YOU DID SHIT LIKE THIS??
You know what I'm 100% into that song. Let's go Chibita times are hard & you're doing amazing
RESIDENT OSOMATSU HOW DO YOU PLEEEEEEAD WE'LL NEED YOUR TESTIMONY ON THE STAND SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO SUMMON YOUR STORY SO HELP YOU SON NOW RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND
This dude is so condemned to the infirmary-coded
Thank you for trying Karamatsu but unfortunately Osomatsu is guilty of this crime. He has to accept whatever punishment
SCREAM . Ok yeah sure whatever shit sure does happen in this anime doesn't it
Choromatsu you're going to get killed immediately. This skit is going to be about 20 seconds long
THE GRINCH IS HERE???????
What did I tell you. Short short skit
At least Choromatsu died in this one Ig??
Okaaaay this is a weird one. And illuminating-- no I suppose I Wouldn't like Osomatsu in all his forms. For example, if he was a weird old guy that let children into his home in exchange for pachinko balls, that'd be.......... yeah that'd do it for me tbh
Wait I'm revoking that statement. He's still sad. I couldn't fix him but I COULD take the garbage out of that house
I MEAN I ALREADY KNEW HE WASN'T GOING TO BE WEIRD W THE KIDS....... I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THE META OF IT..............
WAIT THIS ONE ISN'T EVEN FUNNY IT'S JUST SAD
SEE THIS SKIT IS ALSO ILLUMINATING ABOUT OSOMATSU'S LIFE PERSPECTIVE TOO
Like you obviously Know This but when you use the tortoise & hare metaphor and add on that there are so many people above you, why bother? Well like. Then the story becomes about the fact that, one, if you're so concerned about the fact that you're so much worse than others, you have to remember that there are also fish and insects and other things that can't even move as fast as the tortoise. Then the other thing is, is that if you decide to opt out entirely, you never go anywhere
And like!! Of course you know that Osomatsu has made himself content where he is; he doesn't want to improve; he doesn't want his brothers to improve; he keeps himself in this nexus where everything stays the same and it feels like the time doesn't pass
Idk I don't think Osomatsu thinks of himself as having a defeatist attitude, but that's 100% what it is. He doesn't want to try because he doesn't want to be worse than everyone else. He thinks that if he stops "running the race", the loss & failure will not hurt him
It's different from Choromatsu's envy, as examined in the last episode. Choromatsu wants what everyone else has; and he can't find the drive within himself, the passion, to actually pursue something. Osomatsu just doesn't want to be the worst. Or rather, he doesn't want to be the worst by default. He can make himself the worst and that's fine, but he needs to have complete agency over it
I'm never going to unsee the PDA autistic Osomatsu reading tbh I've done the exact same shit
Oh my god there's so much to dissect about Karamatsu just from this skit too..............
I don't feel like iiiiiit maybe if someone reads this & asks I'll talk about my Karamatsu thoughts
OSOMATSU UNDERCUT ALKDFGJHDFG SINKS MY TEETH INTO HIS NECK
Something the subtitles are not explaining in this skit is what Jyushimatsu is SUPPOSED to be saying. So I wonder what it is
