11 nin mo iru! Episode 8~
Mixed emotions. lol! 11 nin mo iru! episode 8 had me laughing from the first minute. XD
But this recap/review is purely based on my understanding...AGAIN. lol! The comedy was again concentrated on the dialogues (it had a lot of puns!) this time so its a little difficult to understand for someone who knows only the very basic of Japanese. >_<'
If you don't want to be spoiled... stop here.
♥ Episode 8 started out with Kazuo studying at the cafe... the bus boy then approaches him and asks him to order something (he has been sitting there for hours already and hasn't bought anything. lol!) Sam then tells the bus boy to shut up seeing that Kazuo is studying for his college entrance exams and telling him that Kazuo's wife is pregnant. (sam used the word "nyobo") XD. Sam has also found a new girlfriend and she's even more ditzy. XD
♥We then get a little recap by Saigo... on how he told his sixth sense but everyone refused to believe him at first and how Living!Megumi can also see Ghost!mama Megumi and now everyone can communicate with Ghost!mama Megumi through Saigo.
♥We were then taken to the Sanada family celebrating Christmas. Everyone was so cute... and happy. Saigo was rudolf, Minoru dressed up as Santa and Hiroyuki was Jesus Christ. (only in the wrong outfit... since he is wearing the thorned crown. XD) Ghost!mama Megumi is in the celebration as well... She pops out the wine and everyone gets freaked out. lol! The kids get their presents from Santa!Minoru which is Umaibo. Mitsuko whines that she has requested for a vest... and well, Minoru and Hiroyuki got her a vest... a vest made of Umaibo. XD
♥The next day, Usagi-chan drops by for a visit to give everyone their presents... including Soara and Hiroyuki (rofl! His face!!!!! XD)
♥Niko consults Ghost!mama Megumi about her love problems since Uno is graduating high school already. She tells her that at least a kiss would do~ Saigo's teasing face. lol! XD
♥Minoru tells Saigo that he wanted to talk to Ghost!Megumi alone... and he tells Saigo that its okay since all Megumi has to do is listen to him talking. rofl! Minoru! flirting! XDDDD (Tanabe Seiichi shines in this episode!!!) Kazuo gets to see his dad talking to himself... apparently, he is right. XDDDDDD
♥The next day we get to see Minoru at work... he is taking naked photos of a pregnant actress Arikawa Asuka for a gravure magazine.
♥ We get dynamic papa getting ambushed by reporters on the vegetable field being accused of having an affair... lol! XD
♥Minoru then talks to Hiroyuki asking him when he will be moving out since Soara's pregnant she's gonna have a hard time going upstairs. XD Hiroyuki says that he is already looking for a place but money is still his problem. Minoru says if Hiroyuki doesn't leave... he will. (ikr. he makes no sense. XDD)
♥While Kazuo is studying at the cafe... Minoru comes to him and talks to him about his problems... he is confused with the two Megumi(s). lol! The conversation even gets more confusing so he refers Living!Megumi as "Megumi in glasses". They then end up in an argument... with Minoru walking off and telling everyone that he is stupid "Chounan no baka!" and yells out loud that Kazuo is poor. He is then shown biking home saying something about the next day. XD
♥LOL! The next day, he is seen helping out at the kitchen... LOOOL! role reversal! XDDDD
This part totally mirrors the breakfast scene in episode 1... Kazuo then comes home... being all Minoru-like. XD
Minoru ends up losing the argument once again and goes to the terrace and stares and sighs at Megumi's picture (he obviously still loves her)... Megumi watches him.
♥Ghost!mama Megumi joins Saigo and the other kids as they play with Dynamic Kids and Dynamic Papa. Later on Megumi tells Saigo that she is letting him touch her oppai now. Saigo refuses and talks about the timing. lol! Megumi says that the reason she's staying is because she has yet to fulfill her promise of letting him touch her oppai (She even tells him that its a mark of being an adult. XD)... and that she plans to leave because Minoru is conflicted with having two wives at home. Saigo still refuses and accidentally touches her oppai. XD Megumi asks him what he thinks and he tells her that she has a good oppai. XD She then thanks him for everything. Dynamic Papa sees Saigo and runs at the base... but as Saigo runs Megumi disappears. :(
♥Saigo gets sad... and cries to his mom saying that he is hentai... and its all his fault! As in if didn't touch Megumi's oppai she'd still be there. (This is scene is soo much ♥... you'd pity him, find him adorable and laugh at what he's saying. XDDDD)
♥Minoru then comes out of Hiroyuki's room tells them that he's going out for a bath and asks them what's going on... they both say nothing and when he remembers he forgot his keitai he goes back to Hiroyuki's room. Hiroyuki got me hysterical here! XDDDD Saigo and Living!Megumi decides to keep Ghost!Megumi's disappearance from everyone.
♥The kids come to asks Ghost!mama Megumi for advice through Saigo... while Saigo and Living!Megumi pretends that Ghost!mama Megumi is still there. Saigo gets stressed out with the problems (Satsuki asked him "what is love?") and gets hospitalized.
♥Hiroyuki then tells Kazuo that Minoru is having an affair... because of the voice message Asuka left on his voice mail box... He then tells him that the Asuka Minoru is having an affair with is the actress Arikawa Asuka who he just recenlty shot naked in a gravure photoshoot. Kazuo doesn't believe him at first and threatens Hiroyuki not to tell this to everyone unless they found out about the truth.
♥The next day at breakfast... Kazuo is suspicious of Minoru's movements... and calls him out to chat. lol!@ the arm twisting and the dragging. XD Kazuo confronts him and asks him the truth... and Minoru slips out (he even tries to wipe Kazuo's shoes with his tears. XD lol@ umaibo fanservice. XD The kids come out and tells them that they are off to school and Kazuo gets dragged off to the port (they are in Chiba)... Unubore Location! (Another KudoKan drama reference... now I'm positive the theater shown in episode 7 is the theater where they did rakugo in Tiger and Dragon!) XD
♥Meanwhile, Hiroyuki sets up the magazine on the table so that Living!Megumi could see that Minoru is back to shooting gravure photos. Megumi takes a look at it and feels nothing, she goes upstairs and takes a look at her photo from the newspaper article Minoru took and compares it on the photo he shot of Ghost!Megumi when she was a stripper... and to her surprise she sees another photo... its revealed that its Dynamic Mama's photo. XD
♥Kazuo and Minoru talks it out... Kazuo tells him that about Arikawa Asuka but Minoru says she's not who he's talking about... and that Minoru is referring to the other Asuka, which is Dynamic Mama's real name. He then tells him that he was able to take a really good picture of Dynamic Mama when he was at the Dynamic residence and she was confiding to him about Dynamic Papa's affairs. XD He can take best of three... the first one was Ghost!Megumi, second one was Living!Megumi and the third one is Dynamic Mama... lol! Kazuo tells him he's stupid and asks him to count how many children there'll be. XDDD (its a tsukkomi-boke scene) Kazuo walks out in frustration. lol!
♥Kazuo goes home to catch Saigo slouched and looking depressed at the table... and Living!Megumi tells him that they are leaving... Kazuo tries to stop them but he couldn't. This scene is totally sad!! (Saigo doesn't wanna leave but he doesn't have a choice.) T^T
♥They then have a family meeting... with the Dynamic Family. (Kazuo begs Dynamic Mama to come with him and tell the truth) and the total number of attendees is 24... as counted by Hiroyuki. XD (Minoru + 7children + Hiroyuki + Soara + Samu + new girl friend + Usagi-chan + Soara's dad + Dynamic Family consisting of 10 members XD)
Things get cleared up... and Minoru got Ghost!Mama back~ *he talks to her about his feelings and how he got extremely sad when she suddenly died... asked her to give him a sign with the candle... but the lights of the entire house went off. :D* while he goes out to get Living!Megumi and Saigo back... Kazuo follows him... but they failed to talk to Living!Megumi. Lol! at her brother. XD Minoru then leaves something at the mailbox and Living!Megumi decides that she and Saigo will be going home after seeing Minoru's message. They were then greeted by everyone... in parallel to the first episode the kids and Minoru waving at them from the window, this time there's Hiroyuki, Soara & Usagi-chan... Saigo is waiting for Ghost!Megumi and just when he thought she hasn't returned... he got an empty mug of beer floating at the window. ;D
♥Saigo approaches Ghost!Megumi and tells her "Okaeri" and everyone greets her "Okaeri!" as well. Minoru gathers everyone to take a picture with Ghost!mama Megumi at the center... Kazuo's sensei then appears and tells him that he is gonna be late for his exams... and everyone just scrambles... he also reminded Minoru about his camera. lol!
♥Kazuo goes to his exam while the Dynamic family filmed their last episode (if I'm not mistaken). The last scene shows Kazuo, Soara, Minoru and Sensei looking at the exam results... and finding out that he failed (he was number 264)... Kazuo then gets depressed. :(
Overall it was a really sweet episode~ it got me tearing up at the end... honestly! I just need the subs... because what I'm doing here is out of pure speculation and basing it on how I understood the story. lol!
I'm still at the middle of my dl on episode 9 *cries*... but I'm already spoiled on the ending... thanks to cie_chan ;D
I haven't been attached to a drama like this in a while. *sigh* I have nothing to look forward to in the weekends anymore... and I'll have to wait for another year to probably get another KudoKan masterpiece. (TT-TT)
