Making videos for financial profit huh? This was kinda old school...

I have to say, this show sure loves using its social media platforms alot whether it's online videos, Twitter, etc. Not much action but there sure was a lot of tweets trending.

Thank goodness it was just a fever dream. I thought they were focusing away from Yaeka.

Feels bad man. Seeing her reaction like that...

Personally i think this was a pretty bad episode which kind of disappointing since the anime has been really good so far.
Well let's hope we won't see anything like this again the episode did have it's funny moments but i rather see more development between the characters.
Seeing Kirishima grow attached to Yaeka is one of the nice things of this anime and we didn't see much of that except towards the end of this episode.

This episode sure is a fever dream. From making basic YT videos to international superstars, there's no way for guys like Team Cherry to make it like the way they did, but somehow they do and Tooru is rewarded with panic attacks considering he can never leave behind the ojou-sama that he cares about.

One panic attack later and we are now awake to a world that he belongs, and with a punch to his lackey, hopefully we are never delving into that world again and this concept...ever.

Great episode! 'Please make videos with him.' Thought I was watching episode 1 again until I heard that xD. The boss has ordered them to do this to improve their financial situation but he wants them to make sure that no other groups find out about it otherwise it would be quite embarassing...
Sugihara (whose name I always forget and have to search up for some reason) and Kirishima wear face masks to hide their identity whilst recording their video!

The mosaics on the gun was funny xD. (Speaking of mosaics, it reminds me of a certain person named MARKLORD in the VN community who would probably die if he saw it censored...)

It seems the first video got quite a few views!
Team cherry and spicy curry!
TEAM CHERRY IS THE BEST!
Even Ayumu is watching the videos it seems.
They fail at trying to reduce their popularity??!
The boss asks them to...sing?
They have collaborations as well as doing fan meeting events...
How far will team cherry go?
Yaeka is upset that Kirishima isn't with her and when Kirishima sees her walking alone, he goes crazy!

BUT IT WAS ALL A DREAM?!!
Team Cherry doesn't exist?!! MY DREAMS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED NANO DESU!


Looking forward to the next episode!

Don’t forget to smash that like button, subscribe, and hit that bell for notifications on Team Cherry content with Misty, Bamboo, and Gold! Lmao.

Kirishima’s dream was hilarious. I wasn’t expecting him dreaming of the gang becoming massive streamers. I liked the “apology video” and how deleting their channel just created more buzz. Team Cherry even became idols lol. It’s kind of sweet that Kirishima cared so much about Yaeka, that even the thought of disappointing her was enough to cause him to have a mental break (in his dream ofc).

All in all, this was a pretty fun episode. Completely ridiculous but hilarious.

The entire time watching this episode I kept thinking in my head that it was a completely insane fever dream, so imagine my surprise when it actually was a dream! The message we got a few minutes into the episode might've said was wouldn't be getting the usual programming but I didn't expect this! Absolutely wild episode, in some ways super meta and satire while in other ways batshit crazy. Kirishima and some of the guys making a YouTube channel to gain money through streaming is definitely outside the box thinking by the boss. Kirishima and Sugihara take things to another stratosphere gaining tons of views and subscribers. Amassing this incredible online cult following. Becoming not only internet stars but worldwide recording artists! The levels of insanity kept increasing and making me laugh more and more. It did get sad when Kirishima realized he'd spent too much time away from Yaeka. So I suppose it all being a dream made sure Yaeka wasn't actually sad. But damn I don't think I've ever seen an episode of an anime like this one. Team Cherry!!!

The art during kirishima breakdown on the “plane” was amazing.

I’m glad it did end up being a dream, the tonal shift would’ve been really jarring. Plus Yaeka just needs her surrogate dad lol.

Def the worst episode so far but still entertaining. Wanna get back to more bonding next week tho.

This was one hell of a hilarious fever dream of sorts. The kind of dream that Kirishima had reminds me of my own instances whenever I often take naps during the day due to simply being mentally or physically drained due to activity from before. Most of them are so weird that I wouldn't be able to explain them even if I still remember long after waking up.

Hilarity aside in terms of gaining massive popularity through just posting YouTube skits (which is completely unrealistic by all means), it did have what I thought was a genuinely emotional moment where Kirishima was reminded of what is the most important to him right now: taking care of Yaeka.

Honestly... Twenty minutes wasted. It was unnecessary, didn't introduce any new characters, was all over the place, and was very random. I am not a big fan of the "it was just a dream" cliche trope because, in the end, we don't progress with anything. No character nor story development. This episode was such a huge letdown. I sure hope that there won't be more episodes like this one. I don't expect much from this anime, just a wholesome content and yet it still disappointed me today. Eh...

Every episode sees this show get worse and worse as it aimlessly spins its wheels and tries to throw anything and everything at the wall to fill the runtime. Maybe don't rush through a critical part of your premise in two episodes if you have no other ideas after it? Just a thought.

And with that, I am done with this show, as it clearly doesn't give a damn about wasting the viewer's time with a complete filler episode four episodes in. In fact, I might just give up on this "surrogate father" subgenre for a while as there hasn't been a good one of those since Poco's Udon World in 2017, while this and Deaimon last season were both huge disappointments.

Finally an episode that didn't bore me to death. Of course it was a waste of time in the end but at least I had fun. If the purpose was to remind of his responsibility, then they should have had him ACTUALLY drift away from his goals instead of relegating it to a fever dream.

Ofc, all this is only when I take this episode seriously instead of sitting back and having fun, which I did in response to that message at the beginning warning(?) the viewers that its gonna be a ridiculous filler episode.

Boss calls two dudes into a room and tells them to make videos. Ok then

Come on though bro, this is the yakuza's guide to babysitting, not the yakuza's guide to making youtube videos. I guess there's only so much babysitting you can do, so you gotta pad the runtime with random sh*t like this. But really the bread and butter of this show is the relationship between Kirishima and Yaeka; take out Yaeka and it be treading on thin ice. Have their relationship be the forefront at all times and then you can add all the sh*t you want on top afterwards. And if they do have to add filler-type stuff like this, make it fun at least. Because for myself at least, this was far more cringe than it was fun. Sure it was all a dream and thus is just a gag episode, but it doesn't matter, it's still time wasted.

The first three episodes were all easily 5/5's, so it sucks for it to take a nosedive into a 1/5 episode. At least they warned us in the beginning that it was going to be a gag episode this week for some reason.

Yaeka asking when he was coming home reminded me of Eminem's "When I'm Gone", Kirishima had got caught up in fame and fortune but neglected his "daughter" whom he left behind at home. I guess that's one good thing that we can take away from this episode, because thanks to this dream, Kirishima probably reaffirms his vows to himself to never leave Yaeka's side.

Damn, I was waiting for Kirishima-san to just wake up and break that dream. Didn’t expect it to be that long though, it stretched on for a little too long imo.

It was hilarious seeing Yaeka-chan’s aunt ponder on who Team Cherry was.

What an interesting episode this was lol, our boys were told to start streaming to which they instead do a YouTube channel and made some big waves thanks to Sugihara’s connections and their content actually being pretty good, the videos looked funny too, all they needed was a 3AM video thrown in there lol. But man it did get pretty crazy near the end there with becoming music artists and collaborating with people from other countries.

The ending was pretty scary tho, that turned a goofy situation into a nightmare really fast, and thank god he woke up lol, I had a feeling that’s what this episode was from the beginning, being able to sit right next to Yaeka after all that was really nice. But I’ll say, one must never forget Team Cherry!

And wow, I know the episode went off track but damn I’m surprised so many people didn’t like this one, I liked it a lot personally. Of course I’m glad it was all a dream but it wasn’t bad in the slightest.

The entire thing was a dream. Lol

Today's episode: Yakuza's Guide to Showbiz
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

I wouldn't say hate it but it was really bad to the point I and, by reading these comments makes me believe, many others were considering dropping the show because this episode was insultingly bad. I don't watch Japanese youtube scene but this felt more like normie youtube scene no mater which country, similar to mr beast or some other fag with red arrows and soyface in thumbnails, with constant screaming and overexaggerated reactions to everything that happens in every single video. I don't like to admit it but I'm huge pussy when it comes to emotional scenes between kids and parents and last episode got me tearing a lot which made me connect to the show on the emotional level but this episode single handedly killed the connection.
I know barely anybody can relate and I'm being selfish but this felt like loosing a good friend over stupid argument.

I understand where everyone is coming from, this episode had nothing to do with this show and its premise at all, I liked for what it was but mostly because I came to the term that this show was more of an otome type of show about hot guys with a quiet / self insert type of female MC than an actual parenting one (even though it does have in fact some touching moments).

Well, this episode sure feels wack different, thanks to the advisory notice given at the opening, which promises randomness and ridiculousness. A fair amount of love and hate is warranted for being an anime-original filler episode.

The Sakuragi Family suddenly going into livestreaming, which is plain ridiculous if anything, posed to both Kirishima and Sakuragi, and I'd say that this is literally the Yakuza version of "YouTube for Dummies" under the name Team Cherry (???), with all the current societal social media norms and filters applied to it. And then, the sudden announcement to close the channel because of fabricating lies to the audience, which actually increases their influence...to the point of being bad influence.

The inclusion of singing...which no choice, Team Cherry has to continue their shtick at the behest of boss Kazuhiko's approval, even if they cancel their channel and leaving their fanbase to speculate their fate. Even Yaeka low-key knows, and the ridiculousness continues with their official status as music artists traversing the world.

It's probably good that this whole thing...was just all a dream.

Despite the weird traction of this being a bad episode, I must admit that I had some fun too.
