Futekisetsu ni mo Hodo ga Aru / Extremely inappropriate episode 1

By the jdorama gods, I have just 1 hour laughing non-stop and I just want to put my thoughts to paper before I watch episode 2. Kudo Kankuro is one of the greatest and funniest writers in jdorama history and episode 1 of Futekisetsu ni mo hodo ga Aru might be one of the funniest episodes I have ever seen. Forget about whatever you think you want to watch, get on Netflix and watch the first episode and prepare to laugh all the way through.

Extremely Inappropriate is a time travel story. Abe Sadawo is a strict teacher from the 80s who travels to 2024 using a bus and goes back to his time though a wall in the washroom behind a Kyonkyon poster. What I love about this show is that Kudo Kankuro shows all the inappropriate behaviour from the 80s. All the swearing, sexism and bullying and I love it. 

Some shows set their story in the past like the1940s but they don't include all the things going on in society at the time like smoking and try to supplant modern sensibilities instead. Stories should show how society acted and perceived things at that time and not try to scrub it out.

Futekisetsu ni mo hodo ga Aru, at least for the first episode is a conversation about the clash of values from the 80s and values and expected behaviour from today and it culminates in the greatest Japanese musical I have ever seen. Every freaking line in the song killed me especially the 'this is my 13th year and my mental health is long gone!'.

There are so many levels to the jokes especially the guy who says 'that goes for all organizations'. So many things in the song are funny because they are true. Someone once said if you want to tell the truth, make them laugh and the first episode of Futekisetsu ni mo Hodo ga Aru does it so well.

My favourite line from the show is the time traveling mom played by Yoshida Yo asking the son why he prefers showa to reiwa. He gave the above answer that made absolute sense.

Episode 1 is so perfect I have to give it a must watch. It is also so scarily good I am afraid the next episodes won't be as funny. Fingers crossed this will be the next Tiger & Dragon. Must watch. Thanks to notpenk for recommending this because I did not know it was a Kudo Kankuro show. On to episode 2!

Edit: Kudo Kankuro's Rikon shiyou yo / Let's get Divorced also started out really amazing and had a meh second half with pacing problems. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.

WARAU MATROYSHKA EP 8

Episode 8 didn't get uploaded to nyaa but then I realised that I could watch it from the tver link from the official homepage. Everytime at the end jdoramas they always say you can rewatch on tver but I never took it up. The only catch is that I needed to set my VPN to Japan but I quickly turned my VPN off after the video start loading. And the video came with Japanese subs! You just have to provide a random year and month of birth and Japanese postcode to watch. I think I am going to watch more Jdoramas on tver to support them and because they come out first. As for the episode, we get more info about the grandmother but it all depends on what the plan is and what will happen at the end.
