G no Arashi episode 5 (AKA let me show you my Nino bias)

Feb 14, 2010 01:18

Is it a bad thing that I don't remember why I took the first screencap that shows up in my picspam? Yes? I rather thought so...

Guys this is the reason why I shouldn't have days in between when I capped the episode and when I comment on it. I have no idea why I took some of these caps though I do have the suspicion that the my reason was something like "the pretty told me to do it". O.o

Ah right screencap I remember! This guy was a cleanliness freak. He won't touch door handles, drink with straws provided at restaurants, eat with silverware given to him and the like...

These are his own personal chop sticks that he carries with him.

You know I seem to remember using this as a reason to use straws in restaurants because you never know if the sides of the cup where everyone drinks from have been fully sanitized or not. First time I made this argument I was ten. I was a weird kid.

This kind of threw me. I always thought it was MatsuJun...and I still think it is I think they mean more in the way of eating what other people have eaten and drinking what other people drunk. Because apparently at this point it was still an issue for him, but they only mention the whole drinking thing being an issue. I understand. I went through all of high school refusing to drink other people's drinks because I didn't want mono.

Next is a circle of friends that decided hey we like smoked food lets make a club out of it and try and figure out what tastes good smoked and what doesn't.

Some of that stuff there looks pretty iffy to me.

Considering the face MJ is giving his food here I rater think he agrees with me.

Apparently smoked banana does not taste all that wonderful. Who would have figured? Oh right...me.

Ohno once again demonstrates that he no longer has taste buds so to speak of.

But considering that he makes this face after he's finished saying that I'm not quiet so sure I believe him. Why do I get the feeling that this originally started out as a joke but he's said it so much that he himself believes it now. X.X

This little man is the topic of today's episode...

He is a UFO photographer. And like any UFO photographer his photos and videos are sketchy at best.

Also apparently Doctor Who is wrong Aliens don't have their own language, they all speak Japanese. Wonderful logic there.

*Reigns in sarcasm* These are the pictures that the aliens sent to him for him to draw.

They ask him about how often the UFO's respond to his call. He says about 90% of the time.

Arashi remains skeptical.

His wife remains skeptical. X.X But apparently his grandchildren believe.

So this is a failed. *waves* Hi failed host person. He apparently lives off of 5000 yen a week. Which is ridiculous.

You know originally I was going to say something about how with his face and attitude no wonder why he was a failed host but then I saw Ohno's face on the box in the bottom and it hit me that if Ohno ever had decided to be a host, like he apparently was thinking of when he first joined Arashi, this would be the result. And now I can't stop laughing at this image.

MatsuJun's DoS side shows itself and we get full on body giggles in compensation.

...I like it when he's happy. Oh the irony of having been baited by Gokusen...

I have to say though that I never thought I would see the failed host make an appearance this early on in Arashi's career. I love it.

So they decide that they're going to go support the UFO photographer. Aiba decides that he wants to take along the member that will make the most "childish reactions". Just remember that this is your own fault Aiba when I spend the entire picspam focused on Nino...

I love that Ohno pushes Nino away when he tries to hide from Aiba. Nino however looks as if he feels betrayed. You know I wonder how much of their life is filled with travel. It seems like an obscene amount.

By the time the get there Nino seems to be in a bad mood. His emo hair is apparently coming in handy here.

What do you mean I was supposed to have a reason for taking the caps. I'm sure I did at the time but I'm pretty sure my reason was something like the reason for the first two caps in this spam. >.>

>.<

I find the photographer's drawing ability questionable.

Okay question time: Does anyone else get strangely reminded of SpongeBob Square Pant's Pineapple from this picture or is it just me?

Nino ever so helpfully points out that the UFO photographer says that one of the UFO's is actually a witch. Apparently I need to stop watching Doctor Who because I find myself thinking "it could happen. It happened to Shakespeare after all."

So apparently the aliens contact him and tell him where they're going to be.

And he uses this bell to summon them.

So apparently the aliens fly through this hoop. I...kind of doubt that though.

I think Nino shares my doubts here.

Oh right...Aiba is in this episode too. Sorry for ignoring you Aiba.

The boys express their doubt that there will be any actual UFOs in this episode. Even Aiba ends up agreeing.

So they go bother his co-workers to see if anyone believes him.

And it's revealed that his success rate isn't 90% but rather that he manages to film them every now and then.

Apparently no one at his job believes him.

A lot of fellow UFO believers gather with him. One that apparently drove a spaceship before.

Another one (or was it the same person?) that encountered aliens on Jupiter. And they apparently used a machine to copy his clothing.

Apparently this is another way to summon UFOs.

Nino ever so helpfully points out that so far all the alien relics have been Japanese style. Can you taste his cynicism?

So they had this device that was was supposed to make juice taste sweeter. And you know I think I've seen one of those before and they were doing it the wrong way so the taste doesn't change. But when Aiba tells Nino this he is told to just say it does.
