Roget, Summary & Review

[wao_wao]

Ah, Masatsuka-sensei. You finally got one right! Such a solid show <--- this equates to "pretty decently good" after I've been disappointed time and again...

I've always wanted to do a review this way, where I take the official summary and break it down to "what this actually means onstage". It seems Roget is the show where I finally try it out.

Thank you so much for this.
More proper comment later, have to continue studying now.

I am not sure how to handle the impression that after Mizu's retirement, it seems Kitarou will actually end up being my most favourite yukigumisei. I'm so happy she keeps being treated that well.
And is there an actual sanbante role in this show?

[wao_wao]

Aww, I was hoping for a big long comment from you first and foremost ;P

Kitarou = for some reason that facial hair just accented her *beautiful* cheekbones to me ♥______♥

Sanbante role = I guess in terms of *roles* there isn't one? Kitarou, Chigi, etc are important characters, but they spend a lot of time not on stage / not as those characters.

But Chigi is sanbante; she gets to be "Rockstar Man #3" and has a talk column in the program that neither Kitarou nor Koma nor anyone else (besides Mizu and Kimu obviously) got.

Okay, hang on, you get a proper long comment now, just give me a little time to type it down. ;P

Argh, and I feel as if I can't resist. Stupid me, I should be studying ^^;
But your entry is so awesome and the show seems so as well. <3 <3 <3
I will study after this, promised!

Actually, I kept looking again and again at that picture of Kitarou and Mimi, and each time I couldn't help but think how beautiful both of them are. I wouldn't have expected Kitarou to look *that* good having *that* kind of beard.

I still keep hoping for double nibante until I am proved wrong, but if it will be Chigi nibante, then yay Chigi nibante. :D

What you write about the show sounds quite impressing. I remember having read that as a top star, you usually have an influence on your last show. I wonder if this was the case here as well, and who came up with the topic of the show. War crimes and their punishment seem to be a rather difficult topic in Japan, and the more impressed I am that Roget is dealing with that exact matter

Thank you so, so much for this. Goodness, I really have to wait for DVD? So far away...

It sounds like a really good show, and Koma as an incompetent sidekick definitely makes me more happy than it should. X3

Wait, wait. Just realized the "Masatsuka-sensei is such a one-trick pony" was filled with links, and I can't stop laughing. XD

[wao_wao]

The whole post is filled with links, actually, I really should bold them or something because the black text doesn't look much different from purple... T___T;;; Glad you were amused though ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you very much for this great review. I am not very fond of Masatsuka-sensei either, so I am glad to hear it was a decent show. Mizu really deserves to retire with a good show (especially as their last one was a Ueda Shinji play...).

Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a long and detailed post <3 Sounds like a really awesome show and I can't wait to see the digest, even if I am a little disappointed about the apparent lack of Cecil. :/ I'm hoping this doesn't become a trend. I don't need both Bonbon and her talents being overlooked. Guess we'll see after Mizu leaves and things get shifted around.

Ah! I want to see this show! Thank you for the review!!
Umm, does Mika have the etoile? And I'm sad that Haruka Midori doesn't seem to have much stage time.
