Gonna miss this show.

Don't worry, it's two cours.

Mr Sandal's is easily my favorite character in this show. I was not expecting the Field of Dreams quote, but it was amusing

I think both sides are partially right in this conflict. Kazushi and the grandmother are right that the promotion intended was both tacky and disrespectful. More to the point it was undoubtedly going to fail. It is one thing to surrender some of your pride for the greater good and another to lose it in something doomed to failure. On the other hand the girls, or rather the people behind the girls are right that if nothing is done the town is likely to simply die, and may do so before at least Kazushi is ready for it.

I think the problem is that they are looking for a "magic bullet", some promotion that will instantly revive the town. That is simply not going to happen. Tourism is a slender reed to lean on and done well takes years to promote. Sudden fame, like any bubble, usually results in an equally sudden fall. Instead of one big Answer, they need to be looking for multiple small answers. A modest tourist attraction based on local specialties, an attempt to obtain businesses that are no longer city dependent and a reason for people to want to live there either seasonally or permanently. Some ideas may come from the fact that two of the team are actually refugees from Tokyo.

It will be interesting to see what answers, if any, they come up with and what success, if any they produce.

Man, I would totally watch a show set in their school days with Beef, Poison and Olive as the leads.
