s2ep5: GOOD SUMMER!!!!!!

Happy Halloween!! Except no, we’re not celebrating Halloween today - we’re celebrating SUMMERTIME!! Even though summer has long passed everywhere in the world except in the Southern Hemisphere!!!

[A WHOLE LIST OF BIG SPOILERS - AND SIZZLING (heh) SUMMER FUN - UNDER THE CUT!]

This episode is the kind of ep where there are several skits within it, as opposed to the episodes where we usually only get one or two major skits. All, of course, with the same “summer” theme - several staples of summer in Japan/anime show up here like fireworks watching, festivals, going to the beach, cicadas, how bloody hot summer can get... I think most if not all of the Japanese summer experience is represented here. And in true Ososan style, the characters ruin everything :P (But in the best ways possible, of course :’D)

Notable things about this week’s sizzling stories (one main bullet point per skit):

Asshole cicadas. That is all.

Jyushi really is a force to be reckoned with - not only can he make tornadoes, but he can summon thunderstorms too!! Actual airbender Matsuno Jyushimatsu, I’m proud of him :D

A Jaws parody that features - Schoolmatsu!Totty and Jyushiko together?! :0 I guess that means the Matsus’ AU versions all exist in a verse separate from the canon one? Or perhaps they all exist in the canon verse along with the Matsus...? Or perhaps we’re all just overthinking it. Oh, and also Hatabou. And sharks.

Iyami and Chibita prove to be oddly relatable when they’re suffering from the hot ‘n’ humid summer sun. I hate how hot summer can get, and it’s always a relief to get any source of cooling sensations to stave it off. Although, perhaps a VR machines that not only exposes your brain but overrides your sensations and perceptions to the point that you could be literally on fire and not at all realize it... I think I’ll pass on that solution, thank you :P But it was still pretty funny watching Iyami and Chibita be ridiculously oblivious to their real surroundings haha

(If you were uncomfortable with the Innardmatsus from S2Ep2, you’ll be just as uncomfortable, if not more so, with this skit, so please exercise caution)

(Also Dayon yet again did something that he insists didn’t do... I wonder if that’s gonna be a running gag from now on)

GOODBYE TOTTY

G O O D B Y E T O T T Y

“He is a criminal, please do not save him”

So I wonder then if that means that Totty’s friends with Aida and Sacchi again? Or maybe they’re different girls that look and sound like them (after all, Totty asked for Aida’s/”Aida’s” contact info the third time it happened, shouldn’t he have had it back then in Sutabaa...?)

Also Miyu Irino’s voice acting in this part is superb, as always

The fireworks scene could’ve been so lovely... Could’ve. It was so nice seeing everyone there in the crowd though (Nyaa’s still married to her IT husband!! Or at the very least, they’re still together!) ...And then those fireworks happened pffft

There’s a good deal of Dekayon in this episode and I’m not sure whether to feel happy or horrified about it

SUMMER KAMEN!!! Surprisingly enough, this skit was super nice! It’s refreshing to see Kara take the lead and actually do something that his brothers appreciate (and even thank him for!) as opposed to being the butt-monkey of the skit. I like the direction S2 has taken with Kara in general - he’s more assertive, a bit more of a dick, and while he’s still embarrassingly painful (seriously what the hell was Summer Kamen wearing) he seems to command a lot more respect and presence. It’s just so nice to see after being bombarded with too many ‘innocent abused woobie Kara’ interpretations during the hiatus ahaha orz

Also - The Christmas Couple got married!!!!!! They got married and they’re expecting a child!!!!!!!!!!!! It was such a nice surprise to see them again, and seeing them be happy and together and starting a family was so aaaaaaaaaaaa I wanna cry happy tears \( ; v ; )/ Congratulations you two!!

I love Totoko-chan (and you should too!)

The last skit was the one that, upon rewatch, had me laughing the hardest. It’s so painfully obvious that these boys have no idea how to talk to girls that aren’t their mom or Totoko lol But it was endearing to watch! (Especially Oso going forward but then ending up just standing there, also Choro rising yet again, also Ichi trying to insist that he doesn’t need his brothers’ pity only to end up proving them right pffft). It was funny seeing how each brother balked from actually approaching any pretty girls in his own way. And then the final attempt to get attention just ended up giving them more attention than they wanted, and not even the right kind of attention. Aww, poor boys ;;

One very important detail to note in this particular skit that I absolutely must talk about - THEY MENTIONED HOMURA!!! THEY REFERENCED EPISODE 9!!!!! When that came on in the subs, I was so surprised and my heart swelled with joy. Not only did this prove that S2 is indeed some sort of continuation from S1 and not some timeline reboot, but - they remember her!! They remember her and that skit made such an impact and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I’m just glad that they referenced her again ;v; (Though Kara’s line about Jyushi possibly “finding new love” made me sad... Then it turned out Jyushi just wanted to pee in the ocean)

In general this episode was just really fun and enjoyable, with so many small but very welcome surprises. And that’s not the only surprise - the ED for this week’s ep is a little different, and very very special. Especially if you’re a fan of the 1980s’ Osokun series ;) Even though I didn’t watch any of the previous Osokun anime I recognized the reference and aaaaaah, it was just lovely ;v; Everything about this ep. (apart from a couple of small pee jokes) was just lovely and I’m just very happy right now.

The preview for next week’s ep was very strange, though... People in the stream were joking about mpreg. So, uh, yeah, that should tell you something. Also I think they might reference S1Ep24 in that next ep, but it’s just me speculating based on a short scene in it. So who knows, really.
