Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai Episode 6 Discussion

@TiagoCosta Already 40 thousand? At the end of last week there were only 20. Putting aside the debates surrounding Episode 5, they did a really good job promoting it, doubling the show's hype in just one week. Hopefully the author can monetize this enough to give us a more epic and well made third season of Tomozaki in the future. Alsoo, could you please tell me which two shows are still ahead of this?

@-DxP- By the way, "forever 17" is a fairly old meme among Japanese celebrities. There were even a few VAs in the 00s who made this their gimmick. Although, unlike Miiko, they were all mature women who did not hide their age or personal life.

@RobertBobert While I'm hoping for a 3rd season for Tomozaki too, I doubt the success of this series impacts Yuki Yaku much financially. Script writers getting a % of profits for an anime series is not something I have ever heard of previously happening. It certainly could bring more attention to Tomozaki that garners more interest and income that way, but manga/LN creators don't make much money off of anime either. Most of the financial benefit is from increased interest in the source material.

Having said that, the increased interest itself could lead to better sales for the anime in order to justify a 3rd season. Either way, I'm hopeful that this series will keep delivering because I have enjoyed every episode thus far quite a lot. All the better if that also tangentially helps the scriptwriter's other work!

@Seansy Perhaps I didn't choose the best word for this, but by "monetize" I meant properly using the success of the show to develop his own career. I've heard that he's written or even directed some episodes of Tomozaki in the past, so if we're now talking about him as the writer of an entire original successful show, he's clearly doing well as a creator. Even I myself started to get a little jealous of him, although as an amateur writer I am usually aware of my level and only get inspired by real writers, lmao. All in all, while Jellyfish as a whole isn't exactly my cup of tea, I really hope it's successful enough to propel his career and the Tomozaki adaptation in particular.

@-DxP- always at your service :D

@RobertBobert Gotcha, I kind of got that feeling from how you used the word "monetize" but certainly "take advantage of" or "propel his career" makes more sense in your follow up post.

Yes, he did scripts for at least episode 5 of season 2 of Tomozaki-kun and the specials since those are anime original content outside of his light novel. There may be others but those are the only ones I remember right now.



Are you saying you don't consider Yuki Yaku a "real writer" because he writes a light novel? I'm confused by this sentence and don't want to misinterpret it like "monetize".

Personally, I'm not really a CGDCT guy, but I was pretty confident I would enjoy this series given Yaku's participation and promotion of it. The way he balances comedy and drama within his character writing just hits so much better for me than most other similar series. I also hope it propel's his career and the Tomozaki adaptation too!

Let's move this discussion to just DM's so we don't monopolize this episode discussion any further. I feel like we're getting farther away from actually discussing the episode with each post lol.

@Ryushindai You say that as if I'm trying to force some kind of fan theory on you, lmao. I'm just saying that this might not be a coincidence given the existing practice. But if they themselves say so, then okay, I have no reason not to believe them.

@E-Satie But why exactly did it not live up to your expectations? Unless you meant the same reason why I waited so long for this episode, lol. I think this episode explored no less important and interesting a theme that the last.

Aside from the fact that they completely ignore and delayed the whole "why she kiss her" which I was actually looking forward to this episode. This episode was just not that enjoyable for me. Even though the series covered an important and serious issue about the idol industry, it was just not that interesting to watch. The whole concept sounds interesting but I found the portrayal to be somewhat weak, I would have appreciate it more if they had some more time to develop it (I have rewatch the episode again and my opinion still didn't change) or Maybe because I still don't care about the characters in this series.

I'd say if a idol actually did that, they would all walk right out. simps want young single idols.
isn't that why there is a bunch of rules of idols not allowed to have boyfriends. let alone kids and being over 30?

The moment JELEE came up on stage, there's only one thing I desire.... Yoru's triangle solo!!!! But sadly, the studio didn't deliver it. It's understandable tho, considering how much complex animation and sakuga is required to even animate the intricate movements in a triangle solo.... Worst EP ever!!!! wwwwwwww

Joking aside, best EP so far tho.....

PS: Holy sh*t Touyama Nao (Ariel-chan's seiyuu) is EVERYWHERE!!!!! This season alone she's already in 4 different anime: Yoru no Kurage (Alice), Shuumatsu Train (Youka), Yuru Camp (Rin-chan), and Seiyuu Radio (Mekuru). And considering she also voices Nozomi from Hibike Eupho as well, she may even appear in an EP of the season 3 sometime this season as well.

Is it a bit saccharine and idealized? Yeah, it does feel that way.
Is it too good to be true? Probably.
Does it come off as hypocritical? Not really. Only a cynical person would think that way, toward something that is basically wish-fulfillment.

@Raynaldee There's nothing wrong with wish fulfillment as long as you don't try to criticize how it works while still being a wish fulfillment story. Like when shows from multi-billion dollar companies teach you that you need to be yourself and not listen to big producers, for example.

So... you've seen the Jem movie, haven't you? I'm sorry.

i like their approach during the start of the episode miiko's pitch was high. after the reveal, her voice is npw deeper signifying her normal voice. best episode for me along with last week when mahiru conquers her insecurity. hope that miiko and ariel form an idol unit and maybe....just maybe, this may be the break they need to be stars along with jelee
