This cosplay episode of Shukudai-kun totally deserves its own post.

The first half of this episode is actually kind of slow, whether because I was so excited about the cosplay part or just because it wasn't that interesting without understanding what was going on, I'm not sure. (Especially after spending so long staring at the clubbox download to just hurry up already. Though, you can find Arashi no Shukudai-kun

CRRYYYYYY.

I LOVE HOW THESE GUYS CAN JUST PUT ON A SKIRT AND TURN THE EVENT INTO A 30-MINUTE EPISODE OF A SHOW.

Also. I want that paper boat episode NOW. XD I watched that clip where Sho and Nino and their crew set sail in this giant cardboard boat and I cried. T_T I cried tears of lulz. T_________T

[beckerbell]

I LOVE THAT THEY KEEP DOING IT, TOO. I LOVE THAT THEY CAN DO THE SAME THING WITH PYJAMAS. JUST PUT THE BOYS IN PJS, LET 'EM GO, AND YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A READY-MADE HALF HOUR TV SHOW.

I sincerely, truly hope that Arashi never stops trying to cross things in paper boats (or ice floes) until they make it. I am going to cry so hard while watching this special, I can feel it. (Seriously, I love that they keep putting THE ONE WHO GETS SEASICK onto the cardboard boat. ILU GUYS.)

[awesome]

EXACTLY. THEY CROSS ALL THE CRACK OVER INTO ALL OF THEIR SHOWS. SOMETIMES I HALF-EXPECT THEM TO GET THEIR MAGO MAGO GRANDPARENTS IN ON IT AS WELL. T_T

... Yes. I can't really tell who's in the boat during the next special though. Nino.. And who? And wtf is that boat made of. .___. IT LOOKS LUMPY. kskgfdf. (Isn't it amazing. I love how Nino was just this half-dead lump on the floor, going all, "I'm going to drown doing nothing. D:") ANYWAY. Someone needs to write zero-gravity aibajun porn. Srsly.

With Mago Mago Arashi ending soon, I sort of fear that we won't get as much of Arashi being ridiculously awesome and adorable, but... well, Shukudai-kun has really been stepping up to the awesome plate lately and delivering. If Shukudai-kun continues to be this fantastic, I might be okay with MMA ending. (Also, I'm really curious as to what GRA's going to be like.)

I assume theyl put Sho on the boat with Nino (who can't row very well and who gets seasick, A++++ awesome idea to put him on the boat, guys!) since it sounds like them, but it's really hard to tell, even rewatching the preview for it.

Someone needs to write zero-gravity aibajun porn. Srsly.

Shukudai-kun's gotten a lot more entertaining. You know it hits the crack!quota when my guy friends start asking me for more episodes. :DD Also. Is it just me or does Golden Rush Arashi sound porny in a very very wrong way? Ahhhh, I miss G no Arashi and all of Aiba's retarded experiments. D:

*Cries* XD Could they not notice that their habit of getting the failiest (it's a word okay stfu) people to row the boat could be contributing their sinking in the middle of the ocean every single time?

Still, I want Jun to row with Aiba sometime. WOULD IT NOT BE AMAZING. He'd go batshit and try to whack Aiba with the oar. *_*

... You could subtly hint at your flist? :DDD YOU KNOW MANY GOOD WRITERS. XD

I understand that each show has progressed towards something more popular and "cool", that they're getting a wider target audience than the late night shows, but... I really miss stuff like G no Arashi with Aiba's batshit experiments and the board games and the pyjama episodes. They still do that stuff occasionally on Shukudai-kun, but I don't think they've had a single memory game with Sho and Ohno's drawings on the show? I'm willing to give that up for Arashi with little kids on MMA, but with that show ending....

I mean, I understand that MMA ran for a lot longer than most of their shows and that they probably don't have the time to film MMA anymore (since they pretty much have to spend an entire day on it, don't they?) with their recent surge in popularity, but... I'm still going to miss it. ;__;

OH MY GOD YES THAT WOULD BE SO GREAT AIBA AND JUN IN A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAY. Which is probably why they haven't done it, they know that it would only end in tears. (Everyone else's but Matsujun's, that is

[awesome]

Yeah, they have. I actually just like the shows where the boys are on their own. Like G no Arashi, where they're just stuffed into a tiny room and just told to go wild and come up with silly things to do. Their chemistry shines best when it's just five of them. D: Shows with guests like Shukudai-kun tend to be a bit draggy sometimes, and well, let's face it -- I'm there for the Arashi. XD It's awesome when the guests are fun, but when they're not, then it just gets really boring. AND OHNO DOESN'T TALK. T_T Still, they've spiced Shukudai-kun up a lot more these days. XD The earlier episodes were pretty damn draggy

[beckerbell]

I do think that, if nothing else, I trust Arashi to figure out what works and eventually make any show they're on into a great one. But I also agree that the shows can start out really slowly while they're still trying to figure things out. Shukudai-kun seems to have hit its groove finally, but we were spoiled with two awesome shows every week and I still sort of worry that Shukudai-kun will start to drag again. They are at their best when it's just the five of them dorking out together and I'm going to miss that "alone" time with them.

On the other hand... if they're playing batshit games on national TV... that does have the potential to be pretty awesome.

OH MY GOD. I can just see it now, the paper boat sinks in the middle of the bay, Jun looks all DO NOT FUCKING WANT when he's half-soaked and has to be dragged out of the water and Aiba will be a bloody pulp when he suggests HEY LET'S DO THAT AGAIN I KNOW WE CAN GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME and Jun has to kill him very messily. WANT IT SO BADLY.
