Otoko no Hen-sachi, do you know about it?
When I first started to get into the V6 fandom, I was overwhelmed by the amount of variety shows the boys have done. Well, it's not too weird since this year is their 17th year. Two of them are the long-lasting show, Gakkou e Ikou (Let's go to school) and VVV6. I started watching from Gakkou e Ikou, then to VVV6, then to Mission V6, and lastly, Otoko no Hen-sachi.
At first glance, Otoko no Hen-sachi is almost like Mannequin 5, just that it's better in every way compared to Mannequin 5. I hate Mannequin 5 not because it's not funny, but I hate how girls have to talk bad of the clothes the mannequin wear and how they sometimes judge people personality based on the clothes they wear that day. To me, that's absolutely terrifying because every people have their own opinion and to make that as a judgement whether he's a good partner for a date or not was just wrong. That's why I rarely watch HnA after they change their format to VIP Room.
Otoko no Hen-sachi is like the upgrade version of Mannequin 5. So you put unpopular guys (unpopular here can be interpreted in many ways, not only because he's ugly. I remember that there's a guy who's not in relationship in 7 years and the girls are like, "SERIOUSLY?" but when he explained that's because he live in poverty at that time so he thought he shouldn't make the girl suffer with him, the audience did give him their votes) in the show and let the girls choose whether he's a boyfriend material or not by his answer related to love relationship, his personality, and how he interact with others. I think this is more realistic since you didn't only judge someone by their appearance, since the guys are hidden behind a big white paper thing and they only appear as shillouette. There's always a flaw, but I can overlook it and enjoy the show from the beginning until the end. I also like how V6 boys trying to help the unpopular guys to look good and presentable to the girls before the unpopular guys have to go out and face the girls.
Maybe this is just my opinion, I know people find Mannequin 5 but I never think it's good, not even once. But if you have the chance, you have to watch Otoko no Hen-sachi and I think you will learn something rather than just watching girls badmouthing guys about the clothes they wear.
