I Actually Dont Care About These Guys At All ❌❌

I really love that this show's intense mlm homoeroticism extends to the fact that when the people making it try to come up with a character design that scans as "sexy woman" they can't do it.

I'm sorry but these are the most "gay guy tries to reverse-engineer what straight dudes like in women" designs of all time.

as for Bucchigiri itself, I respect what it's doing and I enjoy watching it for the craftsmanship basically. It's very fun to look at, I love the character designs (other than these girls who are bit characters to be clear, it's possible that their nondescriptness is actually intentional now that I think of it), and the fights are cool. I have yet to truly click with any of the characters and I sort of suspect I won't since this show is clearly made for a different audience than myself, but it's a fun watch regardless.

Oh also there's a bunch of scenes in this episode where Glasses Guy literally whips the protagonist. So that's something for those of you into sadistic guy / goofy dude fujobait dynamics I suppose.

From Bucchigiri official twitter

the episode was interesting story-wise as always (aside from arajin having one extra cringe hetero moment not related to mahoro) but it fell kind of short. Don’t get me wrong, it looked good as always, just between shots and the way the story plays out feels more… choppy? I can’t explain it. If there’s something happening behind the scenes I hope gets remedied because I don’t want the production/story to go downhill because it has so much potential

On the positives: we get to see mahoro being an evil girlboss this episode, siguma squad and more delinquent gang lore seeing how differently each gang operates. the welcoming party you can tell they’re all having fun even tho they’re beating each other up

theories/questions for future episodes: does that mean if arajin is going to become marito’s successor will he fight matakara??? or will matakara fight marito or mahoro? it’d be interesting to see mahoro fight someone because she’s clearly capable of force and manipulation in other ways (slaps arajin, screams like a siren to get matakara to go away) Now that he knows the reason why arajin joined siguma I wonder how willing matakara is to fight for him/get him back.

I also wonder how the NG boys will play into the next/future ep. next episode is probably about the war between the gangs because that’s where the episode left off.

also this rock is a symbol. i truly think that as long as it stays intact matakara will never lose faith in arajin. and for the sake of both of their character development i will crush it with my bare fucking hands

I've watched through all the pjeg characters currently available ftes and here are my personal highlights:

I'm choosing to interpret the like/dislike indicators as Damon canonically being a good gift giver. You can't stop me

Damon getting really autistic about debate structure with Toshiko just to mess with her. Actually, Damon being autistic in general. With everyone

Eva literally using "I left the oven on" to exit a conversation

Damon aggressively demanding Diana tell him about herself and then getting mad when she asks if it's because they're friends

Wolfgang bringing up Grace completely unprompted within a minute of Damon arriving and having, quote, "a lot to say, that's for sure"

Everything Wenona ever says. She's so amusing to me

Eloise cursing Damon out for asking her if she's fatherless (and no, he does not understand what he did wrong)

"I hope whoever has [my blackmail] can be cool about it and confess... Maybe we can talk it out," -Desmond Hall. Smash cut to me screaming into my pillow

Ulysses being employed (one of my favorite things about him). That little boy is a grown ass man

Also it's kinda funny to me how the people Damon is nicest to are the unpopular nerds of the class. Probably because he's one of them <3

Damon walking up and sniffing Jett like that's a totally normal thing to do.. animal to animal communication

why does mark say unprompted that he doesn't like his name. writers you can't do this to me you can't make me care about this loser

JEAN'S FIRST FTE PURPOSELY ENDING ON A CLIFFHANGER LIKE THE TOZU THEATER SHIP STORY

"YMCA at sea" also got me who gave this man the right to be so funny
