Solo shows post hiatus
The below post contains little coherence and lots of stream-of-conciousness emotional spiralling.
[more or less the same conflicted and sad thoughts we are all having]I recently watched the first episode of Aiba Manabu that aired after Arashi announced their hiatus (Feb. 3rd 2019 if you're looking for it). It isn't subbed so I couldn't understand everything that they were saying, but I know that they were discussing whether Manabu would stay on the air once the hiatus started. I wish I understood more, I get the impression that the answer at the time was "it's in almost two years, let's see what happens then".
I'm sure Minna no Dobutsen is going to stay on the air- it's a brand new show, they wouldn't have launched a show with Aiba if they were planning to replace the MC three months in. I'm sure if Shimura Dobutsen had continued Aiba would have stayed on with that too.
It's selfish of me, but I hope Aiba Manabu stays on the air. At least for a while. I don't know that I could handle everything abruptly going off the air at once. Maybe it's not selfish. Aiba does seem to really love doing Manabu, hopefully that's not just a nice thing he's saying for the sake of the cameras.
I don't really watch Nino San or Yakai so I don't know how they discussed the hiatus announcement or what they plan to do after... I'll probably start watching them intermittently after the hiatus- either current shows if they stay on the air, or older episodes. I have my Aiba bias, but I'll miss everyone else too.
I want them to have this hiatus. My first reaction past the initial shock when they first announced it was "GOOD THEY HAVE EARNED THIS LET THEM REST". So I kind of feel guilty about feeling bad about it, but I'm going to let myself feel what I feel and support them anyway.
I keep wanting to contribute to the community in some way like at least mirroring links or doing some of the technical sides of subbing, but my health is such a toilet and I feel like even if I did commit to something I'd help out for 2 weeks and then disappear and feel extremely guilty for leaving people in the lurch.
(disclaimer: don't worry about me, this post is a downer but I'm ok. this is just a depressed vent and my general emotional wellbeing is "i mean it's 2020 but i'm hanging in there all things considered". for more cheerful content I'm much more upbeat on twitter! here's a random screenshot to wrap up the post becuase apparently I don't know how to blog anymore)
