The only downside is that they weren't as good as the ones used in Kill La Kill and Mob Psycho 100.
Can anyone remember at what point in season 1 Totoko became a bitch? Because she seemed rather nice and normal at first.

It was established pretty early on, IIRC. I think it was the episode “Totoko’s Dream”. She constantly spoke over the boys, punched them, and straight-up admitted she wanted to be an idol not for love of the field but to rub her fame in everyone’s faces. That was a pretty solid basis for what her character was going to be like later on down the line.

there is something deeply satisfying at seeing the six busts get dusted, painted, and blown up at the end. So very satisfying.

This week's UMA expedition was the funniest as of of yet and Punishment! was simply awesome. At the beginning it was almost touching how Ichimatsu believed that he had to pay for such small pleasures like meeting a cat or finding 500 yen, but it got more hilarious when things escalated quickly until it became clear that the punishment for their last fateful encounter could only be death.
As for the horror story, i guess Osoma-chan just liked messing with people? Also, the nonchalant way Choromatsu thought that filling the extra time with his favourite hobby was the most natural thing to do, made me giggle...

My take on the horror story was that Osoma simply likes trolling guests, and Choroe lets her. She spoils Osoma, even though she killed her. (I guess the true horror comes in when you start thinking about how this relationship had come about.)

I think the UMA sketch is probably one of my favorite recurring segments besides F6. I like the idea of the Girlymatsus, but I never really found their skits funny, and the less said about Cavematsu, the better.

I think pretty much every episode from the second cour so far has been at least an A. They really stepped up their game from what I felt were an underwhelming handful of later episodes in the first half. Especially episode 16, I'd love it if the new girl became a reoccurring character in the future. They got me good, fooling me into thinking that Totoko would actually change in a positive way or learn to become a better person, lol.
Also, that new OP is pure fire. Osomatsu ops are always the best though, that's like the one thing you can always count on.

Spoiler for Naoki Urasawa's manga Mujirushi:
I saw a news brief about this which didn't say anything about the plot, so I took a look at the first chapter and surprise, surprise, encountered a very familiar face. Check out the cover in the article link and see if the little symbol beneath the English title reminds you of anything (or anyone). It certainly ought to after Episode 18.

There's something oddly subversive about these usually (deliciously) awful characters being genuinely good to each other all of a sudden...i mean, i can't have been the only one, sitting there and waiting with baited breath for the evil twist?!
And yes, there was definitely something in my eyes there at the end (damn you, Iyami!)...

For some reason blind homeless children always tug at my heart strings. BTW, did anyone else think that Okiku looked like Harumi from Dororon Enma-Kun?

I assumed it to be mustard because that's what Japanese people often use with oden. (It's the karashi mustard type, which I hate, and not American mustard.)

I haven't watched ep 17 yet, but in ep 16(?) where papa matsu went on his oden quest, was I the only one that recognized the nod to Oishinbo, coincidentally voiced by the very same seiyuu? I was hoping I'm not alone...

I'm pretty sure someone on here pointed it out in the comments, try having a lot back a few pages, and on CRs comments someone else mentioned it. I didn't notice it, because I know very little of TV Anime from the 80s.

Wow, Cobra and Oishinbo parody shorts. Last series I would've expected these guys to pull out of the bag.

And a little bit of Lupin mixed into the Cobra parody. The father has the same voice actor as Oishinbo's Yamaoka-san, so it's just perfect.

Yay, someone got the Oishinbo reference ^^ |
