Fumiya Takahashi (Aruto) is in a new drama with Tanaka Kei and Yamada Yuki (Gokai Blue) called Equation to Erase Teacher

yeah i heard about that one. definitely doesn’t sound like my kind of show but it’s fun that they cast fumiya as like a mean evil boy in it. he seemed like he was pretty good at going darksided in zero one so maybe somebody took notice of that.

Can you do a recap of Madness since there might be people who haven't subscribed or can't afford Alpha

AACCHH HELLO HI i’m sorry it took so long for me to reply to this :O i’m sure there are other people who have done this already, and probably far better than i, but here’s what i can remember (i’m busy in the office right now so i can’t watch it back to make this). i’m gonna try to make it not too spoilery, but if you want all the heavy details, lemme know so we can talk privately :D

“Madness” is set in an ominously old, rickety, dingy apartment/residential hotel-type complex, and each of the player characters have their own room with their own story and, apparently, their own descents into madness

Fenly is an artist, recently moved into the complex, and is looking to make friends. he has recently just come out of an awful relationship with a manipulative, controlling boyfriend who kept him from socializing with other people, so he has decided to throw a party so he can meet the other people in the building. he’s also looking to find inspiration for his works, which is why he moved. 

Abigail has been homeless and living under an overpass for a very long time, and came to the city 2 weeks ago hoping to find a place to stay with what little cash she has on her. she likes this building because it’s “interesting.” the landlord, however, isn’t ready just yet to let her stay, because of a secret that she remains vague about, even after the landlord reveals that he knows what that secret is.

Jude is a hotel manager, and he’s not fond of it; people annoy him a lot. he suffers from anxiety, which causes him to smoke heavily. he has lived in the apartment complex for about 5 years, and has heard and experienced quite a few things, including hearing screams that sometimes sound like they’re coming from inside the building. whatever happened to him when he was younger makes him think he deserves to live barebones in a shitty apartment. 

Selina is - let’s call it what it is - a hacker. she and her boyfriend, who lives somewhere else, are very skilled at what they do. they’re vigilantes of sorts, believing that what they’re doing will give back. she knows almost everything about everyone else in the building, but hates having her privacy invaded. she’s staying in this complex because it’s obscure as fuck-all; no one will find her here. that, however, may not account for everyone else involved in her operations, and it definitely won’t help the paranoia and nightmares that haunt her.

Emmett is a down-on-his-luck writer from New York. he has lived in this building for about a year, and he thinks there are “interesting voices” here. he chose to come to LA, which he later calls “a mistake.” he had come here to find and help someone he had become invested in, but apparently, it hadn’t gone very well. he’s writing again, sure, but he’s alone now. his loneliness is just the tip of the iceberg of his troubles. there’s a voice in his head, always calling him out on his “mistake,” and it could do him in.

SHOW-WISE, it looks even better than season 1, and that’s saying something. the first episode introduces all the characters thru individual mini-prologues, and they each have their own set and setting, which is already a big difference from the single set set-up of season 1 (but it looks like the main gameplay will still happen on one set). there are a lot of new elements that help tell the story too, especially because of the main gist of people going mad, such as flashing out-of-story images of the characters in straitjackets in the moments in their stories where the madness creeps in on them. it legit looks super cool and super creepy, but i would just issue warnings about flashing and overly flickering images and unexpected loud noises for those who are affected by them.

I didn't know you watch Critical Role. Have you ever watched the show live yet?

Nope! I’m only up to episode 86. One day I’ll catch up!

[scoups4lyfe]

I would like to see recaps of Going Seventeen and other idol shows

ooooo hOOOOOO!!!!!!

I've seen maybe like 2 episodes of Gose (hahaha)

the Halloween, haunted house-bit 🤡🤡 (Traitor Hoshi....I'M-)

and all the 96 (?) liner mouse or rat-busters or whatever

(I'll never get tired of seeing Wonwoo just fking SPRINTING 2 miles ahead of everyone else and no one being able to catch him,,,inclUDING the cAMERA-MEN I-)

Do you have any specific episode recommendations? (Or any specific idol shows other than Gose? )

[kimabutch]

Does K-pop/J-pop songs count?

Sure! I think we’ve had a couple :)

Kaito Yamaneko was written by Muto-sensei (kamen rider build)

oh i know actually. i finished it the other day and man. the several of the major plot twists are wack. wack. but its good tho

Final episode of Jinga: Prepare to be disappointed. Keita didn't direct or write this season. This feels like a promotion to the butai

LMAO oh don’t worry, at this point i’m not expecting much of anything.

and i don’t know why i had it in my head that mr amemiya directed at least a few of em… none at all, huh. at least how garbage it all looks makes a lot more sense now. 🙄 and i love that they apparently needed 3 different writers for a 12 episode 30-minute tv show.

(sir please even if i was in the right location and had the money to see your ridiculous stageplay i wouldn’t want to be in a 4d space with jinga. i’d die)
