Osomatsu san

Merry chrismatsu!
New episode today, maybe there'll be a christmas skit

The preview in episode 12 hinted there'll be a christmas/new years skit. Last time's skit with Ichimatsu was pure genius.

Today's episode will be 30 minutes later.
Also, Totty is not in any of the preview pics, is it a Christmas miracle and worst Matsu will disappear?

There's a lot of preview pics containing Karamatsu. I'm trying not to have high hopes but at least we'll have a matsu brothers centric episode instead. I don't even mind it sharing with Totoko.

Did I make this thread too early in the day? Should I have waited till later?

Maybe, there's still more than 2 hours till the episode airs.

>implying worst matsu isn't osomatsu

How the hell could you dislike Osomatsu? I'm not that user, but if anything I'm tired of the Totty/Choro favouritism the writers have (though it's more a crutch than a favouritism when you think about it writing-wise.).

Unf. Shoot me full of your load, Kara.

I can't believe Totty is dead

I can't believe this got translated, and be available for today. It truly is a Christmas miracle.

Oso's fuck me eyes are messing with me

>Won't air until 30 minutes later
I wonder why, this means I have to wait until 3pm or so just to watch it

OP here, should I delete this thread and post another one later? I gave a feeling this thread isn't gonna garner enough posts/die out anyway

You can't delete thread OPs.

Oh

It is fine I guess, new ep is soon anyway. There were threads in the middle of the week and one of them reached like 300 replies.

>10,321 - Osomatsu S2 (70k down from S1 first week sales)
What went wrong?

I wish the show has had more of a consistency with the seasons and our time. Autumn episodes would've been nice - I enjoyed the Summer ep but like anons said it shouldve been a special. Hoping for a Christmas/Winter skit like the previews suggest.

Still 3 times more than they first expected.

Matsubara being the only writer and forgetting how to write. End of discussion.

I kinda feel bad for shoe, having to write a whole bunch of episodes with no other writers is tough

Because he is usually portrayed in his worst degenerate behavior without showing good sides of him, if there are any at all.
Totty is degenerate in other ways (just like all of the matsus) and is terrible as well but I just seem to dislike Osomatsu more. All of the other matsus have redeeming features.

Does totty have any redeeming features? Cause if he does I can't think if them

It's hard to defend Osomatsu, because yes he is pretty shameless, but it's how he does it. It's funny how his stupid actions seem like a no-brainer to him and he's effortlessly charming in an extremely roundabout way. Of course, that might only make him more annoying to you, I imagine. I just see him as a loveable asshole and pretty relateable in regards to his honesty that goes too far.

Personally I can't see anything really positive to say about Ichi. Liking cats and feeding them now and then isn't much of a redeeming feature to me.

The way this artist draws Oso makes him look dumb as hell.

That's the joke.

He is the only Matsu who can have normal conversation with girls, without being creepy, trying to rape them or shitting everywhere.

But he's fake as hell. Even I don't necessarily dislike him and that is technically a skill but I wouldn't hang out with him in real life. At least Karamatsu's entertaining.

We all know our own matsu rankings, so what do you think Matsubara's is, given his leaning on/neglecting certain matsus?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Karamatsu

His eyes like this are empty like Jyushi's.

Seems correct.

I probably shouldn't have written "matsu" rankings. I bet his favourite is Dayon.

It's alright Karamatsu, we love you.

i hope Choromatsu gets some spotlight in today's episode!

> I hope Choromatsu gets some spotlight!

It being a dumb idea either way, these threads just aren't as lively as they used to be. This time it's still Christmas and many people are still celebrating with their families so it's even slower.
We usually make them few hours before the episode airs, so it's not like you've done anything wrong.

Post Christmas fanart

>tfw alone on Christmas
There's not much else I'm doing, so I might take requests again. That said I did draw some kinniku as someone asked but I just didn't ink/clean it up.

...

I just really love Choro

>tfw I don't have a family
At least I can watch anime about families I guess.

>>tfw alone on Christmas
I envy you

I could never pummel that face.

>Alone on Christmas
Sorry to hear that user

>Get you a season that can do both

...

There was some article showing Pixiv/Niconico stats for Winter 2017 anime and every single returning show had the same thing -- a big spike in popularity at the first episode, then right back to how it was the month before. There was more Osomatsu art (and porn, of course) posted to Pixiv than any other currently airing show in October but it followed the same trend as everything else.

...

>Ichi's mask
Holy shit finally. I thought they forgot about it.

I assume Ichimatsu's redeeming feature for me would be how sometimes his normal behavior cracks and you see him completely confused underneath. Just like the recent Ichimatsu and Choromatsu scene.

I don't think Osomatsu had one real tsukkomi moment since the show began, or moments where he was the mature one or spoke with some sense at the very least.

>moments where he was the mature one
He was a cool big bro to Jyushi in s1 ep9 and let him say goodbye. There was also no sabotaging his happiness. He didn't share the fact that he found out she was in AVs, either.

Matsubara has totally forgotten the other sides to these characters.

A likeable and good character doesn't always equal morally sound. A character being "normal" or a tsukkomi sometimes won't make me like them, enjoying watching them will. Ichi is completely boring in my opinion.

How can anyone hate such cute smile.

Whenever Oso does tsukkomi, it's very subtle.
Like the first Totoko episode where he got to her room before anyone else, and told Choro his whole idol manager stuff was bullshit.
Also when he retorted his mom when she asked which one of them is the horniest, it was great.

YAEBA KARAMATSU

I want to get Totoko under the mistletoe.

Next episode is a Choro one

How many choro centric eps have we had already?

Obviously we didn't have enough and need more.

>tfw we hoped season 2 would be "Karamatsu-san"

Clearly they skipped him and it's Choromatsu-san now. Or forever.

Don't get get me wrong, I like choro. It's just I wish they had equal screentime, too much screentime with a single matsu gets boring after a while

Todomatsu is Karamatsu except with the lack of heart and the ability to slaughter his family.

...

That he's pathetic that it makes any of his shittiness hilarious when he's doomed to failure. Him being incompetent grounds him.

That is why we don't need him.

...

I don't hate Choro or Totty, but it's starting to really get on my nerves and I'm getting a bit sick of them both. I mean, even in Kara's skit there was a Choro/Totty scene for no reason.

Still passes the Manabi line.
But it's clearly getting owakon so Pierrot should focus their interests towards another Akatsuka series.

Haha, serves him right.

>should focus their interests towards another Akatsuka series.
>not maybe getting the other writers back and fixing what Matsubara and Fujita are fucking up on

>Owakon
?

At least he has a spine, Karamatsu is nothing but a crybaby.

Karamatsu stays true to what he really likes even when the whole world seems against him. Totty tells girls what they want to hear, but isn't able to captivate any of them because of that facade.

I wouldn't say Karamatsu is "nothing but." That being said though, you can be stubborn in different ways. Just like how Choro always berates Oso but is a complete pushover when it comes to girls. It depends on the situation with all of them, really.

"jumped the shark", "out of style". Matsu beyond being a cash cow pimped out by its stakeholders.

A gentle and caring crybaby is still better than a heartless dry monster.

Oh I get it. Yeah I hope this is the last season, the prospect of a good s3 in my eyes is far off

I've been thinking Choro and Todo bias is a made up issue for a while now.

Yes all the boys are present, but most of the dialogue/action goes to choro or todo

And it has always been so, since they tsukkomi, which often just concerns what the rest do.

Todo really only had 4 skits named after him so far and they were all spread out over these seasons. Juice gets a lot too and he can be as one note if not written right.

You could write any of them as boke or tsukkomi in the right circumstances -- their roles aren't inherently strict. It's just lazy writing to rely on Choro and Totty as straight men when you could put Kara or Ichi in the same role given a little creativity.

I do think that the reason you've seen more Choro is that he was rarely in the spotlight in the first season. It's more balancing than overt bias. People are just bitching about it because Choro is a shit.

I prefer the monster because babies are boring

Too bad the stinky fappy green creature would have more depth given to him than the monster.

>Choro is a shit
How dare you.

>Karamatsu
>boring
To each his own I guess.

Its not lazy writing because you don't like it user. Them being tsukkomi is a thing since first season that has worked well on their skits.

You can't even tell if Karamatsu is listening most of the time. Ichimatsu works sometimes, sometimes not, it just has to be something that's in character for him to point out.
Choro and Todo just works if you want tsukkomi that keeps the focus on the episode subject instead of the straight man. And tsukkomi is a boring role that only matters if you're a seiyuufag who's counting lines for each.

But he has depth to his character. Its just you overseeing it because his attitude is horrible.

Does anyone know when this even comes out?

Terrorism

What a slut.

Berlin Christmas Market 2016

Finally someone says it

>2 weeks wait for Fappy's episode
