AKI-P BEST NOT BE TROLLING  :bow:

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN MY FEELINGS

-prays until the day it airs-

Although I think it'll be like... CenterxNezumi/Team 4/NMB (maybe even Gekikara, she migt have been held back again)

You know, Acchan is in jail, so maybe we'll see some AtsuMina  :? :?

And I hope Geki will be there... and also I hope for more screen time to those old queens like Sado, yuki and Torigoya.. 9I know I'm asking too much..) also, i hope Yuko still will appear time from time (either like ghost, or triplets)

EXCITED :cathappy:

I really wonder what MJGK 3 will be like, I doubt they'll bring in the the old Rappapa (if they do it'll probably not be as much) especially Atsuko since she's suppose to be in jail. Will they introduce more SKE members or possibly NMB? So much anticipation. :panic:

Makes me think of this video (http://youtu.be/-NLNRQOqm8c).

Ehhhh!!!!  For realz???

This would be so awesome if it is true.  I was way, way to late getting into Majisuka.  Both the 1st and 2nd season had finished before I even watched one ep.  It will be cool watching a season as it airs, with the agonizing wait between eps when they leave it on a cliffhanger.

I hope to see plenty of the fresh faces in the 48 groups but I do want them to reprise the classic characters too.  Not sure how the heck they'd get Yuko in a third season though.  They were kinda stretching it with the twin sisters thing in season 2 already.

went to stage48 yesterday (dun remember why, hehe) and saw their season 3 thread full of speculations. :nervous

I don't mind if they do reset the story, but keep the characters.
Any more warping Gekikara's chara and I'll chuck a fizz. :angry:  :banghead:  :cow: :bleed eyes: :shakeit: :oops:

But whatever. totally excited for it. :twothumbs

I'm hoping for a complete reboot, personally. Season 2 had its entertaining moments but the story went in a pretty bad direction, imo. I don't really see what they could do with it that would be too interesting. A reboot has endless possibilities, however. More SKE/NMB/HKT involvement, a larger scale threat, more in depth inter-school wars, etc.

Hope they make MG 3 better than MG 2, I like MG 2 but I kind of got disappointed with Gekikara's...sudden tone down on her spicy level, I mean not that I don't like Amakuchi, but I just want to see Gekikara on the move. I also want more of the former Rappapa members, I didn't get much from them in MG 1 and I would certainly love to see them again, especially Black.

I also hope that there's more action and the plot would be good, I'm looking forward to July to be honest. :cathappy:

Hey guys,  :D I just thought about Black's son.. :P2 she said in MG 2 that she would put her son in MajiJo school rite? heheee..  well, maybe there will be a male idol participating in MG3 LOL~ xD  just saying~ or maybe one of AKB members will act as a male in there hahahaahaha..  :lol:
Title: Re: Majisuka Gakuen Season 3 Discussion Thread
Post by: bunny_rabbit on May 30, 2012, 02:06:33 PM
well...i would like to see the old rappappa's history on MJGK3 (do the flashback to time before MJGK1)...

i mean like how yuko met sado and the other queens for the 1st time and their battle,otabe-atsuko-minami relationship on the past,etc

but more fighting scene would be nice

Post by: Ishtar on June 08, 2012, 01:27:56 AM
It would be nice to have some flashbacks, but considering Acchan's upcoming graduation, I'm not sure to expect Maeda around (although, I'd like to know what happened to her on jail and all).

As much as I'd like to know how is Majijo doing with Nezumi and Center on the top (considering both are key players in the future of AKB), and team Fondue as seniors, I think a reboot/focus in other girls would be amazing! It would be very positive for raise popularity and all (because, for example, Rena's popularity increased after her role as Gekikara).

I wonder if the third season it's true or if we got trolled; hope Aki-P says something soon about this during the following weeks.

Theme is "prison" does it means Acchan still involved in this drama?

No idea as the details aren't out yet.

My guesses of the direction that MG 3 could take:
- Atsuko's life in prison after her arrest in MG2. Atsuko-centric as it is her last drama with AKB48. Some backstory about Detective Takamina as well.
- The remaining students in Majisuka continue their inter-school war with new opponents from NMB48 and HKT48. Lots of references to Atsuko in prison to keep up with the prison theme.
- Brand new story set in a prison with new characters.
- Everyone in Majisuka Gakuen gets thrown into jail for fighting on the streets :lol:

Personally, I like the idea of a brand new story set in a prison. Majisuka Prison, anyone? :grin: Without being restrained by the plot of the previous two seasons, we can have a mix of the good ol' senbatsu members and the up and coming members that the management wants to promote.

If MG3 is going to be a continuation of MG2, I foresee an uninspired plot full of fresh faces that may not hold the interest of casual viewers and even fans. I love the Center-Nezumi combination but the spotlight will probably move away from them in MG3, much like how the spotlight moved away from Atsuko in MG2.

About the opponents....how about JKT48? (well, i dont think this will come true) or maybe Nogizaka46? They are "official rival" right? :lol:

Maybe there'll be Daruma's comeback?
And about Cen-Nezu, will they build their era of Rappappa? Who'll be the 4 queens? It'll be important

Huah! Let's just wait further information and the first episode, of course

Ps. Hope that there'll be more fighting scene :twothumbs

Majisuka 3 confirmed for airing on the 13th July.

Huge presence of SKE48 members confirmed (in addition to Team 4). Who exactly, remains to be seen. The preview apparently showed a prison, with one of the girls as a hooded prisoner. Or something. Details are pretty much non-existent beyond that.
 (http://i.imgur.com/Y51ng.png)

Yuria’s confirmed since she showed up on Shimada’s G+. I wonder if Masanya, Rumi, Manatsu and Kin-chan’s shootings were related to this…

(Got it off from Tumblr. I still think that girl in the hood mask might be Acchan hopefully it is her. ^^)

Predictions:
-Acchan gets murdered in prison before the opening credits of the first episode.
-The MajiJo girls get themselves arrested to deliver some payback.
-Half the returning cast change their nicknames (again).
Title: Re: Majisuka Gakuen Season 3 Discussion Thread
Post by: sakura_drop_ on June 17, 2012, 08:47:35 PM
My predictions/hopes:

-Acchan VS. Miso or Acchan VS. Other Enemies in jail
-Yuko still somehow appearing (as much as I love her, I hope it's flashbacks and more backstory about past, not some other things *cough*twins/triplets*cough* Don't get me wrong, I loved them, but it was okay just for one season... Again to have them would be not so interesting anymore...
-More REAL Gekikara. Not Amakuchi or something in between. She makes this show watchable so much more than any other character (okay, maybe Yuko-sama and Nezumi and Shibuya too...)
-Like I already mentioned, I wish to have more explanatory things about the past
-I hope SKE members will get good characters to play.. They should be pretty badass
-Minor hope/the dream which probably won't happen: a past of Yuko-sama and Gekikara/or Gekikara and Black. We want that in our hearts, don't we?
-A plot that would get us on the edges of our seats (again, that's just a hope, as I think AkiP might troll us again with predictable plots/no plot)

I'm still surprised that many people do not like S2 Gekikara because her character development was what made me love her in the end :)

As for S3, I hope that they don't try to include ALL the AKB & SKE members at all costs. Please give more screentime to the main characters instead of adding hundreds of minor ones. And if they decide to keep the old cast, there are still some characters that need some backstory, such as Black and Torigoya.

More than anything I'd like to see a Majisuka prequel showing how Yuuko's Rappappa was formed. That might be unlikely for season 3, though.

1 month left!  :thumbsup

There's apparently a rumor that Takahashi Juri and Jo Eriko are the new leads for MJSK3.

Hey, I don't mind especially since I love Jo plus I was wondering how they were still gonna work in the Gakuen part if the theme was prison.

Also my whole prediction is this video.

Yeah, but the kick of watching Rena be as absolutely ruthless as she was in S1 was so great that we were all chomping at the bit for more. And the closest we got in all of S2 was her whacking the girl across the face with a boot. Even the piano smash, which would have been EPIC, was aborted. Sure, we got to see Rena acting all serious and emotional for her scenes with Yuko and while in the hospital, but we can get that in other dramas. MG is the only place we can see Rena acting so enjoyably psychotic.

And I personally hated how they treated S2 Gekikara because it was so out of character from the even-Sado-thinks-she's-insane Gekikara we all loved in S1. Character development for that adorable psycho is possible without watering down how much of a monster she also is. I've seen fanarts do it. The arc given to S2 Gekikara was just plain lazy.

Hell yeah, season 3!!!  :cow: (Ahahaha, that's late!)

Really excited to see how they'd go about revamping season 3. The prison theme is so out there, and I'm curious how they're going to tie it in with the 'gakuen' part of Majisuka Gakuen. It looks more like a high security prison than a juvenile hall or whatever it is they have in Japan. 

By the way, does someone know what exactly this says?  :?

Barely have time for this though, really busy with school recently :(

I guess it'll be nice to see how everyone in the 48 world go on in acting, especially that likely SKE are there :)

Main character is Paruru? Well this show just got a whole lot more exciting  XD

I never watched any of Shiritsu Bakarea Koukou so I can't commend on her acting, but at least she can pull of some evil expressions:

All those talk about Team 4 being heavily involved in some kind of filming earlier makes sense now. Gah, I hope the show won't be centering around them though I don't mind Paruru being the lead. I still need the old AKB members to keep me interested in the show.

Haruu, the quintessential, unionised construction tradie (https://www.google.com.au/search?q=tradie), recently got sacked by her employers and is now pissed off at the government (http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2012/07/04/1226416/859537-construction-protest.jpg), dragging the forest rangers Paruru and Yuria into the fight, who recently got into bed with Greenpeace hipsters and their fashion accidents.

Meanwhile, you can easily find Non hanging around Carlton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton,_Victoria), State Library (of Victoria) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Library_of_Victoria), or around Flinders St Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinders_Street_Station) along with the rest of her goth-punk hipster (http://www.gothic.org.au/forum/viewthread.php?tid=21931) "IMMA B**CHFACE" friends who just wanna hang out, cause a ruckus and have a ciggy (http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CF0QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wiktionary.org%2Fwiki%2Fciggy&ei=3zL4T_27DemYiAfanqyDBw&usg=AFQjCNH0RaSK5wEsK0DctEFQvM1CnuRWVg&sig2=4XSyNcoEnLFFJCdo7OO1HQ) and Bacardi Breezer. Or two.

And I thought this was 1970s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warriors_(film)), otherwise we'd be seeing Maria, Minarun, Kuumin and especially Ricchan, in the thick of the Bronx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronx) gangsta' lovin' paradise.

It really does seem that it won't be a continuation of MGI and II, seeing as how Kuumin AKA Dance is there in MG3, its likely that Kuumin's role there isn't as Dance, but as someone new, so likely, there will be a possibility that the other members will appear, just that in a newer role and less prominent then the the first two. I was kind of hoping for a continuation when the theme wasn't said, but after knowing the theme being a 'prison' I gave up with the thought of it being a continuation. It's good, MGIII, it seems interesting, I'll still watch this, seems like its gonna be entertaining, especially with it being in a prison, how the 'school' part will happen, I want to know too though...unless they give me a plot route that entitles the prisons to place the girls into Majisuka Gakuen for correction purpose, then okay... :lol:

LOLI GAKUEN!  :w00t: XD (Ouch, a slap to the face to Labutan and Myao, though.)

And they're clearly going to make the SKE trio all psychotic and shit. We know that Kanon already can do psychotic, Yuria's got those fighting skillz already, and Kumi can do no wrong as an actress, so WOOOOO VIVA LA SKE!

A little awkward for Ranran and Lemon getting swapped out, although I guess it's necessary to not have Team Fondue in juvie.  :lol:

Hey, is this gonna be the same juvie that Gekikara was in for nearly killing that yakuza? There will be Gekikara references, right? RIGHT?

Okay, count me actually excited for this series again. Can't wait to see how Kawei and Maria fare. (It will probably be epically bad.  XD)

I'm already cool with it, since I can see more Kuumin acting. :heart:
I think I remember they said it would be a reset the first time they announced MG3, so I'm not surprised about the change in setting/cast.
And I guessed a long time ago AKB members would have less involvement due to their busy schedules from popularity. Basically Acchan in MG2 magnified to the whole group.

I still hope there'll be much more AKB members showing up for an episode or two for fanservice though. Team Habu (is that Habu on the mag pic?) might be a link to MG2's Team Habu (or a total coincidence??), so there might still be some continuity. I totally wouldn't be surprised if Aki-P trolls right over my face with past characters from MG1/MG2 or NMB/HKT/Nogi/JKT members suddenly appearing. Wouldn't want those classic characters go to waste and not show up.

I watched the on-air ready version of "MAJISUKA GAKUEN 3". It had been cut much more than offline edited version, and it made the story develop more rhythmically with a better pace.
Shimazaki may lack the skills, but she has a sense of taste. Acting Uruseyo Shimada’s role would be palatable and profitable for her.
Yuria Kizaki, she's amazing. She is an incredibly good actress but how and where did she learn that?

Waiting until someone uploads the whole episode.

Only able to catch the last few minutes of the episode but I liked what I saw so far but the dramatic shots of everyone's faces is so freakin' hilarious. Plus Kumi and Maria~

I love the OP song, it kind sounds like something for a detective drama though. :lol:

I lol'd when I see Rie, seriously, she always appear in Paruru's drama :lol:

Nobunaga? Hm... Acchan? Yui? Jurina? Mayu maybe? Since she'll defeat the teppen (well, maybe. That's what I understand with my poor Nihongo) those 4 would be a good idea. Maybe.

Well, i guess I'll wait for the eng sub, watching it all over again and wait for the next episode and so on.

Ponkotsu Blues, I think that it's a good song. IMO

I think I'm going to like this season a lot, despite of the obvious paralels (which are cool), it's refreshing to see a new setting with brand new characters and plot (which actually seems that it's going to have more sense, or at least less holes than the previous ones).

Oh, is this Sae? Just caught my attention!!

1. It's pretty much a new story.
No characters from MG1 or 2 have shown up, and there haven't been any connections  to MG1/MG2 story-wise either.
The Team 4/SKE members that have returned, are all using new characters. So it can be treated as a whole different story.

2. Neither have shown up. Basically everybody has been written out.

I guess it's good in a way that the main characters are all gone because I suppose this way it allows them to start fresh and totally change things up.  I can't help but be a little dissapointed because it does mean that many of my favourite girls will be absent :(  But fortunately there's still some others in there who I'll be really looking forward to seeing :)

To be honest, MG1 was easy to understand without subs, (although they helped, especially for getting Gekikara and Torigoya) and MG2 was basically better off without subs for all of the bullshit it pulled.  :lol:

So I'd go ahead and watch it. Besides, there are summaries on tumblr.

I've finally gotten around to watching this. Granted, this is just the first episode, but so far, acting-wise: SKE>AKB. I'm hoping for someone from Team 4 to blow that first impression.

As for the story itself, it looks like a more serious rehash of season 1, which is just fine by me I guess. Since this season is apparently written by a person who specializes in tokusatsu, I have higher hopes for a more coherent story (with satisfying endings) than the first 2 seasons.  :)

Personal speculations (based on the last part of ep 1):
- Kabuki sisters v2.0 - looks to be Lemon and Suuchan
- Gakuran v2.0 - either Ranran or Kaoru
- Oshima v2.0 (aka Nobunaga) - well, I don't really have someone in mind, but maybe someone from SKE? Nobunaga was from Nagoya, wasn't he? Heh, this is just wishful thinking but it would totally awesome if Nobunaga turned out to be Gekikara. It would explain why she's on a different league than the rest of the prisoners. They could explain her disappearance by making it like Sado broke her out of prison or something. So that she could avenge Rappappa and beat Maeda.  :lol:

Watched ep 1 subbed. Thoughts:

Pros:
- It's not (directly at least, time well tell) related to the past seasons. This is a really good start. I don't think there's any way they could have saved that continuity from all the buttfuck of season 2.
- Yuria being a main character. :thumbup
- More SKE girls around.
- Mad Paru is hot.
- It's kind of interesting.

Cons:
- Team 4 still can't act. :lol:
- Meh setup. As soon as I hear "in the not so distant future" in these kinds of dramas I cringe. And the amnesia setup is soooooooo overplayed. They should just come out and say "yeah, we watched Battle Royale. It seemed cool. We'll do something like that."


I don't know if I can say I 'like' it quite yet, but I'm interested to see more.
Title: Re: Majisuka Gakuen Season 3 Discussion Thread
Post by: Zorr on July 15, 2012, 09:22:02 PM
Watched ep 1 now, thank you those who subbed it! :)

Interesting that it's a prison now.  As others have said, it's kinda good in a way cause it gives them a fresh start and they don't have to try and tie anything into past seasons.

From the first minute I actually started to worry that it was going to be way darker than the previous seasons what with them being prisoners who couldn't escape their torment.  Fortunately it also has a light hearted side to it.  And as sadistic as the warden guy seems to be, I also get a feeling that maybe he wont be so bad.  Plus he seems to have a strange, comical side to him too.

I'm really pleased the Kumi has a main part again cause she was so awesome before.  I actually do miss that though cause it seems like she has a more serious character now.  I really like her playing the more strange and comical characters.  But I think she'll still be pretty awesome and who knows how she'll develop her character.

Non is actually quite creepy with that puppet.  I was really pleased when I saw her appear though cause I knew it meant that she's got a much more main part.  Although it's gonna take some getting used to the whole talking through the puppet thing :lol:

Paruru seemed to me to be kinda obviously set up as the new 'Acchan' character.  Even down to the suddenly getting angry and removing her hair band as a comparison to Acchan's suddenly getting angry and removing her glasses.

If not for the cast bit at the start I'd have actually had trouble recognising a few of the other girls.  It's weird cause when I watched the first season of Majisuka I pretty much recognised everyone instantly.  What's gone wrong! :nervous

I also like that they didn't overwhelm things by introducing loads of characters straight away.  It's making me want to watch more to find out who these other teams are going to be.  So yeah, I actually really enjoyed the first ep :D

Oh man, the acting is so epically bad that it's looped right back around and become entertaining again.  :rofl:

Biggest offender is currently Maria. Holy cow that girl's every utterance is so awful. XD She comes close to falling off of the edge of so-bad-it's-funny right back into Ed-Wood--can't-even-enjoy-the-badness-bad. Paruru comes close, though. (Holy crap her catchline is delivered so fucking badly. Huge contrast to the intensity you could actually hear in Acchan's voice when she removed the glasses.) Thank goodness for Shimada being awesomely hammy-bad all of the time. Looking forward to the Kuumin and Kanon craziness, although Kanon's "Nantene" thing is already annoying. Can't wait to see how much they abuse that running gag about Kawaei being useless/getting nothing though, that was hilarious.

Favorite moment would have to be Yuria's :mon blblbl: to the camera. Second is Shimada's "Uruseeyo!" waking up. She and Kumi had the only moments I actually bought, acting-wise. And then the "Kawaei gets nothing" moment.

They've gone back to basics this season, as noted by others, except this time they've gone and merged Team Hormone with new Rappappa. I like it. Team Hormone were one of the best parts of MG1, and now their counterparts won't be completely butt-monkeys this season, hopefully, since Habu isn't supposed to be losers.

Not sure what Aki-P was smoking when he was hyping Yuria's acting ability. Kanon and Kumi outdid her this ep, and Oba was about on par with her. (The laughing session right before Paru's awakening was just plain bad, though.)

Nobunaga should totally be Lemon.  :grin:

Liked:
New cast, new story.
Meta jokes.
Senbatsu cameos.
Lesbian undertones between Yuria and Paruru. :drool:

Disliked:
Nantene.
Bad acting (expected but still :banghead:)
Nantene.
Too many dudes.
Did I mention Nantene?

If their goal with Kanon's character is to create the most annoying loli ever, they've succeeded spectacularly. The doll gimmick was interesting the first couple times. After that, it just made me want to bitch slap her everytime she talked. :angry:

Finally watched episode one, so I might as well post my thoughts.

- New setting? The prison used to be a school though. New story? Not really. It's about 85% the same as S1 so far :lol:
Paru taking of her scrunchy like Acchan did with her glasses, having flashbacks, etc.
However, I am glad they started fresh with new characters. There was no saving the old Majisuka anymore.

- I always liked Paru and she looks pretty damn hot in this show.
- I'm glad Kumi and Yuria there. I'm not a big fan of the other Team 4 girls and don't really blow me away acting-wise, so I'm glad there is some SKE48 as well. I do hope we'll get some A-K-B members as regulars as well, not just cameos.
- Kanon looks epic, but yeah, the puppet and 'nantene' get old really fast. Besides, 'nantene' is a line Yukirin first introduced in the world of AKB48 during the text message episodes on AKBingo. It's better when she says it. lol

Conclusion: let's make it a 6/10. Nothing new or ground-breaking, but just interesting enough to make me want to watch episode two.

Random Episode 2 thoughts:

- Plot barely moved forward. I think a lot of already assumed the person Paru murdered was Keita
- Awkward Abe x Haruu scene D:
- Yuria seems in love with Paru  :lol: She's oozing pheromones all over the place.
- Kumi looks good, but her character isn't cool.
- Kanon's still annoying despite being barely in this episode.
- Lemon and Kato only appear in the last seconds of the episode :/ It's probably the same for Ranran next week.

The best bit to me are probably the Peace x Paru interactions and Paru's background story. The underlying rivalry and the fights haven't really caught my attention yet.

Let's make it a 5/10 this time.

Damn, I couldn't even enjoy the camp or crack this ep at all because the acting was so terrible. You know there's a problem when Kawaei's the least awful this ep. (Although tbh, Oba was tolerable this ep as well, about on par with Tomochin's S2 Shibuya)

- Awkward Abe x Haruu scene D:

FUCKING HELL, THIS.  :panic:

This ep was considerably worse than the last one due to the incredibly awful acting. They must have been rushed for time and only did one non-flub take per shot before moving on. The editting could probably be tighter, as well, since Uruseyo's lines that were sudden with snappy cuts were marginally less bad. (Like that "I like cheeky girls!" line) Otherwise, the only part I liked in this ep was the gag with the overseer and the towel.

I'm probably not a really picky person or just really easy to please?... Though I agree that the acting is kind of bad

All that Tetsuwo x Uruseyo was killing me in this episode~

I can why some ppl were complaining about the acting, yes it's a little... eh but I can live with it, Maria is pretty new to this. Her last role in MJSK was just a lackey extra so she didn't speak but I like her character too much to complain so early about it, I'll wait to see if she improves somewhat.

Still on the bar about Paru's though

I wonder if Komimi will eventually rebel against Daasu?

so far i saw this new season as an alternate universe from season 1

i mean

episode 1: paru vs kumi-kanon-kawei much like maeda vs team hormone

episode 2: paru vs haru-abe much like maeda vs kabuki sisters, with yuria getting beaten by those two made it more similiar with what happened to daruma before...

lemon and the other girl (i don't know her name) came out with umbrella are just like the sanshou sisters to me

and somehow i feel kumi's character are a bit like nezumi...came out of nowhere,eavesdroping on other people's conversation etc

i wonder what will happen on episode 3

Post by: boykun on July 24, 2012, 08:56:50 AM
Pretty uninteresting so far. They're just recycling stuff from the first season, just in a different setting. The fight scenes need to be better. First two episodes are similar to that of season one, but season one had the fight with Kasai which was cool. Plus Kabuki Sisters are just cool anyway. Maybe this season just lacks the characters.

Hoping Suzuran can make it more interesting!

Post by: Datalanche on July 25, 2012, 01:46:26 AM
Episode 2 was extremely slow, unproductive, and what little was revealed was so obvious and flat that I could barely be bothered to care.

I was worried this would happen from how episode 1 was. Pick up the damn pace and tell a story already. We get it. Not too distant future, girls prison, they fight a lot. Now what? The whole thing with Uruseyo and Tetsuo was just weird. All of the characters are coming off poorly because they're just too flat. Shimazaki's the quiet mystery, Yuria's the needy sidekick, Kuumin's a poorly written version of Nezumi, Shimada and her group will likely end up siding wih Paru a la Team Hormone... I know it's only episode 2 but I'm worried about this show. Season 2 started off kinda meh and crashed and burned, seems like season 3 might be dead on arrival. It feels like they're trying to recreate the magic of season 1 but they're forgetting what made season 1 worth watching: it had just a tiny bit of heart and story to it. Nothing award-winning, but it kept you interested. This ain't interesting. The script and execution are flat as a pancake. And also, maybe I'm just looking at it too harshly now, but the fighting scenes seem badly done. I know it's all camera tricks and shit but it just seems amateur-ish this time around.

I'll keep a open mind, and since subs are coming out quickly I'll likely finish it, but I'm quite worried. :sweatdrop: But all that said, I don't hate the show. It just isn't outstanding in any way so far. At least we have Ranran looking pretty fine to look foward to next episode. :lol:

Post by: LonelySoldier on July 25, 2012, 11:48:08 AM
The thing that disappoints me the most about this 3rd season, is that most of the fights so far is just some raw punch-and-kicks exchanges.  :thumbdown:
There are no such things as artsy techniques, 'hissatsu's, or specific fighting style/martial arts like what we had in previous seasons.  :smhid
Hopefully Ranran will give us something unique, considering her golf-gimmicks already making appearances in the previews...

Btw, is it just me, or am I seeing Jo as one of the Team Mongoose crew in the preview?  :shocked:

Post by: winner on July 25, 2012, 12:12:32 PM
I hope RanRan's character will be a little more interesting. Just to show they still know how to make some nice bad guy characters.
MG1 helped a lot of members become more popular, and literally propelled Rena, MG2  had a nice helping of Fondue, Nezumi, Jurina and people got to know Yui.
But so far, I think only Paru and Yuria are going to get any benefit at all from the show. As most fans don't know or care as much about Team 4 or SKE48, it would be sad if they screwed up this chance to promote the new gen due to a soaked up story and boring fight scenes.

- My God is Kanon annoying in this drama. I'm so disappointed every time she opens up her mouth. I know her whole thing is supposed to be 'just kidding' but can they please give her some lines that don't end with 'just kidding'. It honestly feels like a waste.
- The fight scenes are really disappointing as well. They just don't feel very well executed and aren't as great looking as they were last season to be honest.
- Wow, Paruru actually smiled and didn't look like she was bored out of her mind for a few seconds.
- The only thing good about this episode was Yuria and that guy (still don't know his name)
- I'm really surprised that they revealed Paru's secret so fast, I really thought they wouldn't reveal that until the last few episodes (even though it was already pretty obvious what happened)

Overall, the only reason why I'm still watching this is because I really like Yuria and Shimada (and even though Non is super annoying, she's still incredibly cute and nice to look at so it's okay) and because of shipping purposes.
Title: Re: Majisuka Gakuen Season 3 Discussion Thread
Post by: kingku3 on July 27, 2012, 10:24:22 AM
The acting has actually gotten worse in this 2nd episode. Non's character is still annoying as fuck. And I'm actually finding how they portrayed the Haru/Abe love relationship kinda creepy.

The only saving grace thus far has been Yuria/Peace, who's turning out to be a much more interesting character than Paru. Big kudo for the warden scene too, which looks like a subtle dig at creepy wotas that collect unwashed items of their idols.

Well, we don't know for a fact that Paru killed Keita. We don't know what Peace actually saw on that file. I'm hoping Peace has a dark back story (and maybe a link to Paru) as well. She may turn out to be the most evil girl in the prison.

Oh very true. I've actually never even thought about it that way. Peace just seems so kind and innocent, that it would make a very good plot twist if it turned out that way. That actually sounds so good, that I'll kind of be disappointed if Peace just turns out to be completely innocent.

On the other hand, Sith Yuria doesn't sound bad. You've seen all those blog pics she has with a hoodie on. Totally in the Nezumi club. :D

Ep03 is so much better. It actually feels like a MG episode.
They're using Kuumin right at last, it's like Dance all over again! :D
Lemon, Rena and RanRan's characters were done well too. Makes you feel there's still some hope where this shows going.

Probably some spoilers here.

Komimi sparking up a lot of funny scenes.
Some nice sync fighting. Darn, Rena is going to get a boost from this show. She'll at least get extra points in my book for stopping Lemon talking. :thumbsup
Paru going all emotional.
And, of course, RanRan/Bunker looking super-hot and uber-cool at the same time. :w00t:

Fave moment.
Nantene telling Komimi: "Komimi. If you can't stand it anymore, it might be better if you just disappear. KyakyaKyakya!!".
Then they wait for her to say "nante ne~" at the end, but instead get...

When episode 3 finished I kinda was all, "Hmmm... almost nothing happened." :lol:

We got to meet Kato Rena, Lemon(totally missed their names in all of two seconds they were on screen and almost never repeated in dialogue :lol: ) and Bunker (lol) and they pretty much did all of nothing in the episode, where we were treated to even more really slow exposition on Paru's character. Pick. Up. The. Pace. Please. However, we did at least see some interesting things from Komimi this time around. Her character saw the light painfully fast, but hey, I'll take any progress at this point. :thumbup I feel like they missed a big opportunity with Paru's solitary confinement. I'd have been fine if they spent the rest of the episode on it so that she at least gets more of a solid hint as to what happened to her and set up the rest of the series to tackle it and the prison head-on. We saw more hints, but nothing with dots connected.

Nantene needs to die.

The highlight of the episode was definitely Ranran/Bunko. Decent line delivery, excellent body language. Wao. :lol:

Sadly I found this episode to be pretty flat too. But at least it feels like things might start to move now. Too bad we have to wait until the Olympics are over to find out. :lol:

Very mixed feelings about this episode...

Good:
- A lot of Komimi. I love watching Kumi, so that's good.
- After all those annoying 'nantene' lines we finally got one funny joke out of it.  :lol:
- Kato Rena looks gooood.
- Bunker is like the first 'proper' character in the way Gakuran, Black, Torigoya, etc. were. 

Bad:
- Plot barely progresses
- Even though Lemon and Kato look good, they're nowhere near as interesting as for example the Kabuki Sisters or Sansho Shimai were.
- Fighting scenes are still boring, despite synchro moves.


Hmm... I guess there is still hope, but I will rate this episode a 5/10 again.
Yes, we got some cool new characters, but there was barely any exciting stuff in this episode.

Paruru has reached that Uee level of expression, where she has faces, but every face is basically "I don't know what emotion I'm trying to express." And her line deliveries are always so inappropriate in tone to the situation.

Yep, Shimada still my favorite member of Snake so far, and the one with the best line deliveries. (Or rather, the least unconvincing. XD)

LOL Kanon managed to become even more annoying and hilarious at the same time. So fucking screechy. XD And yay more picking on Nanashi! Kawaei's too adorable as a verbal punching bag.

Oba sure is making a good Shibuya sequel, down to that irritating slurring of every line. This episode does set Daasu up to be a mix of Shibuya and Sado, though, with no particular attachment to Komimi and a huge sense of responsibility to the team and devotion to Nobunaga.

I'm still getting that "rushed for time, no multiple takes" feel, because Kumi is nowhere as good as I know she can be. Her "ouch!" scene was alternatively hilarious and cringey-bad. Then, her scene with the dinner tray was on the verge of good, and then her scenes with Paru were nearly convincing, except for the editing, cinematography and Paruru's acting. Part of the reason the Nezumi breakdown at the end of S2 worked so well was because it was opposite Jurina, the two of them having really good chemistry together. The chosen camera angles for the rooftop scenes were also didn't effectively display Kumi's expressions.

LOL KOMIMI IS THE NEW GAKURAN!? But seriously, this storyline had the potential to be the most "justified" of all of the MG storylines, with Komimi having a really good backstory and developing dynamic with Paru, but the crunch for time meant that her conversion had to happen in all of five seconds and their interactions truncated for that annoying "Paru killed Keita lulz" scene. Hoping that the writing continues to improve like this, though, as it was still a marked improvement on the previous two eps. Ah well, S1 didn't really become good until Maeda started beating up the queens, and by that measure we still have our Sansho Sisters/Chokoku eps to go before then.

Hoping for more Uruseeyo!

Episode 3 thoughts

- I am ecstatic that this is Kumi centered episode, and it was nice to see her do something other than just being in the background and following everyone around. A little disappointed though that we didn't get to see her showdown with Bunker.
- Starting to warm up to Paruru just a little. She still looks like she's incredibly bored though, and her acting isn't that...great. But, she's nice to look at, and she actually looked shocked for once.
- I think it's safe to say at this point that the best actress out of all of them so far is Yuria. RanRan wasn't that bad either though.
- I really want to see Fresh Lemon just being badass and kicking some ass out there. I seriously hope they make an episode like this. Can you guys imagine Fresh Lemon as the new Gekikara? Imagine how hilarious that would be. Although, it's pretty obvious that her and Kato are meant to be similar to the Kabuki sisters. I can still dream.
- Kanon shouldn't talk, unless she's going to make a joke this.

Well, can't wait for the next episode. It's going to be awesome seeing the showdown between Paru/Daasu. Hopefully, they'll improve the cinematography for the fight scenes. I've been really disappointed at how those look compared to the first and second seasons.

Nothing really seemed to happen in this episode.

This whole Paru/Keita thing is boring me; so she really did kill him or not, might as well just tell us since it's not like it'll bring him back (though I believe she is framed). Bunker is an interesting character but she appeared so little in the episode, I'm disappointed in that; the way they played her up, I thought she was gonna be a small protagonist against Team Habu before we got to the main boss but if Komimi can beat her on her own just like that then what the heck? Besides the small moments with Tetsuo/Uruseyo, Kumi was the only thing making me get through this episode.

Also, Paru stands like a mannequin and it's weirding me out. :lol:

Wanna see the next episode already. /o/

After a brief re-skim of ep 2, I can say that the horrible acting comes in a few different varieties:

1. Decent expressions, AWFUL delivery of lines. Most of them fall under this, and so the episodes look so much better in animated gif form.  :lol:
2. Okay delivery of lines, bland expressions. Yuria falls under this, her expressions don't reflect any kind of character at all, and her line delivery, although not bad to the point of drawing attention to its badness, doesn't have any sort of personality to it either. Because of that, I don't see Peace as a real person as much as an exposition mouthpiece, even though technically it's not as bad as, say, Maria's performance, where at least you can see what the character is supposed to be from her fumbles.
3. Nearly there. Sometimes it's worse to hear someone every-so-slightly out of tune, and it's a similar principle here. The disappointment from knowing that with just a little bit more of this or that, that Uruseeyo and Komimi would actually be up to par with S1, can be harsher than a performance like Kawaei's which is so bad that we end up forgiving most of it. Also, lol Kanon is here, too. Nantene is completely wasted potential, but if they keep coming up with fresh variations for the her gag like in ep 3 I'll at least get some amusement out of it.
4. Horrible delivery of lines, ill-fitting expressions. PARUUUUUU
5. Haaaaaaaammmmmmm. World's absolute largest hams. Here be all of the adult characters.

Starting to enjoy the camp value more for the characters in categories 1,3, and 5.

Episode 4 subtitles (http://forum.sub48.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=528)  :thumbup



Holy crap! Finally it all comes together! Great acting, plot progression, character development and the introduction of one of the new bosses. In addition, check out the super cool secret handshake by Haruu and Abe. The background music really adds to the atmosphere as well. Great episode!




























(http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48/jphip125598.jpg)

NANTENE! Worst. Episode. Ever.

The only cool character so far, Bunker, became completely irrelevant in an instance. Annin looked sorta creepy, so there is still a glimpse of hope. Otherwise, just painful to watch throughout. I'd rather re-watch MG2 than this.  :oops: I give it a 3/10.

I can't think of any points to make about this episode except for that Annin looked quite great. Oh, and way to throw away Bunker. lol. Director: "ooh that might be too cool or interesting let's toss that aside!" :sweatdrop: My thoughts on this episode are about the same as the past ones. Flat, boring, no worthwhile character development, too cliche, etc.

I've about lost all hope for this show. I'll keep watching for the fact there's subs Peace. :deco:

Bunker in a box~ :P

I think it was expected they'd pull Bunker back. She's a nice character, and should get a proper vs fight near the end episodes. (darn, they're gonna bunch up all the one-on-one vs fights into one final episode, switching again and again and again... I can just feel it)
On the other hand, it sure is getting slow. We're halfway through the series, none of the bad guys have fallen, and they're still doing episodes centered on the building of the Habu characters.

The Daasu fight was kinda disappointing.
The fight itself pretty good. But Daasu, probably the strongest of Team Habu right now, landing so many hits and not causing any damage was just plain wrong. It's like Daasu is a lvl 10 while Paru is lvl 40 with an auto-recovery that surpasses Daasu's attack stat. ;) Just saying, it would've been more entertaining if they were more closely matched.

The sad thing about Paru is, now she cut her hair, she doesn't get to do that epic fight opening anymore where she whips off her hairband, and lets the long hair flow, and wraps the hairband around her fist.

Also, what's weird about Paru this show (apart from her complete lack of emotions and acting level...) is that you never see her trademark dimples because she never smiles... which made her smile at the end of episode 4 al the sweeter  :)

Lol Mongoose's leader was the most visually striking girl at Nakamata Shiori's WDGAF school last season. Good for her. Liked her "soft voice big stick" character, too. Lemon's annoyed character is a highlight, too.

I dislike how much Hebi are butt-monkeys this season. Yeah, I get that they're a Team Hormone analogue, but they were established as a top team in episode one, and the "it was all Nobunaga" excuse is stupid. Hope that it won't all be Paru beating boss fights so that their rep is justified. (Not just by "Here's what they did outside of prison" Team Hormone stories)

Oba's acting was about par for the previous seasons, which is nice. The camerawork did a much better job highlighting Kumi's acting this time as well, and lol, they're finally using the camerawork to make Paruru's acting less awful, too. 

Still not buying the Yuria hype. One thing I don't get, though, is why Hebi're all so happy to beat Peace up, with how happy they were for her deliveries in the first episode.

LOL this ParuxUruseeyoxTetsuo "love triangle" is so awkwardly funny. Their scenes are becoming a highlight of every episode. Finally, and incidence of writing better than season 1! I didn't like how the Kabuki Sisters didn't get any development after being beat by Maeda, so their S3 counterparts getting more scenes actually showing how their allegiance to Paru is forming is satisfying. 

Wow, Peace got scissors into prison? What is wrong with this picture. Maybe the guards are just that confident in the bracelets, but if they slaughtered them all using blades and shivs smuggled in, then they could deactivate the bracelets themselves.

KAWAEIxKANON NExT EP WHOOOOO  :panic:

Post by: Rayle on August 19, 2012, 09:58:19 PM
You know what? I genuinely enjoyed this episode. I believe it was fully S1 level, with lots of little things setting this season up to actually be slightly better than S1. Apparently the writer this time around is an Ultraman and Kamen veteran, so I'm guessing it's just taken this long for him to get through the awkward "introduce all characters" stage and will now have lots of fun just trying out the different combinations for six more episodes. This season's world is more tightly written than S1, with better setups, extended interactions, and character development than S1's "have Team Hormone hype monster of the week up" formula.

But before, the acting, cinematography, and directing were just so awkward that I just couldn't buy it.

It feels like with this episode, everyone's finally found their footing and have a better feel for the tone of the series. In particular, the acting is now up to average S1 levels, (although yet to see if they can reach Yuko and Mariko's level of dimensionality, or Rena's sheer charisma) or the writer has learned to keep Habu within their acting strengths to avoid any terribad line deliveries.

More specific commentary, SPOILERS FOLLOW:

Putting Kawaei and Kanon together is fucking lethal amounts of adorable. Kawaei's still on the lower end of acting skills, but still better than Maria, and releatively still S1 worthy. (Probably around Sansho Sisters level) But Maria's awkward with Shimada is bloody hilarious, so I'm okay with it for now.

Lolwut YagixMessi S&M ship?

It's really too bad that Rena completely ruined us for any giggling psycho characters hereafter, as even though Messi is not Gekikara at all, once she started giggling I started comparing unfavorably.

Man, overall Mongoose is a pretty kickass team. WHOOOOOOOO ANYA! WHOOOOOOO RUSSIAN!  But heh, I bet Miyu is the Erena of S3, mixed with being their Dance.
Mongoose's badass strut was so good, but I do hope Habu prove to be deserving of their previous "equal to Mongoose" status, versus their punching bag characterizations seen thus far.

Hoping for Matsui Nobunaga, too.  :w00t: CENTER GONNA CLEAN UP THIS HOUSE, BITCHES.

Juri and Nagao are pretty cool and amusing as well. Good stuff!

Best episode so far gets an 8/10!

Huh... glad to know I'm not alone. :lol:

I actually had a self-dialog when the episode finished. "Huh... you know..... that wasn't too bad. It wasn't too good, but it WASN'T TOO BAD! Whaddaya know!"

For one I was so happy to see Takahashi Juri. I feel like I haven't seen her in so long. I really fell in love with her when she appeared on Ariyoshi and she did a pretty great job with her role. Good to know that someone in Team 4 has their shit together. :lol: I was most amused by Nagao. They basically made her play a Klingon woman. Very funny.

The character development with Kawaei was actually kind of interesting too. Wow.

Hopefully this is the start of an upward trend. The setup for the next battle was cool.

Predictions
[spoiler]
1. Paru will try facing Mongoose alone. Then whole Habu comes to help her! They lose and after a second fight , they win. And Habu becomes the Teppen Team of Prison HOPE
2. Paru didn't killed Keita! Miyu knows more about this! Maybe, Annin killed him!
3. That old-lady will let Nobunaga/Jurina out, she will fight Paru for Prison HOPE's Teppen. Of course, Paru wins
4. Miyu is the thing that Paru was searching for. Remember about "what you search for is inside this place"

Title: Re: Majisuka Gakuen Season 3 Discussion Thread
Post by: kingku3 on August 21, 2012, 04:00:05 PM
I think "what you are searching for" is more likely a reference to the search for Keita's true killer.

I guess I'm just not following the lower ranks as much as I should, because I could barely recognize half the new casts in the last 2 episodes. When I first saw Messi, I thought she was Nakamata, since they both have that glasses gimmick.

There doesn't seem to be any clear hierarchy in the way they are casting the characters either, as opposed to the first 2 seasons where we had Kami7 (plus Rena, because she's awesome) as the main protagonists + antagonists, and the rest of senbatsu as sidekicks/comic relief. Even Team Fondue got significant screen time in S2 because they were the most popular KKS at that time (this was before Team 4 was formed if I remember correctly). Compared to that, S3 felt like a hodgepodge of irrelevant members to me.

Which I guess is fine, since part of the point of S3 seems to be to introduce up-and-coming members in preparation for the "transition" we all know is coming.

Still not buying the Yuria hype.

Acting wise, she isn't any better than the other girls. She just happens to be the least dislikable character (to me) in the series thus far.

Last ep was easily the best (which I attribute to having the least amount of Paruko all season lol). Yagi and Messi were pretty damn cool, Kawaei turning it up, reminded me a little of why I watched Majisuka to begin with.

I'm kind bleh about J being Nobunaga. I think the should've got someone 'new' (as in, wasn't the main character of the last season), though I guess it fits.

Now that Nobunaga’s come in, it’s impossible for me not to spazz about it, and impossible for me not to want the next episode. NOW. SYFSJRH.  :tantrum: :on speedy: :fainted: :imdead:

I definitely liked that moment with Komimi, Nanashi(?), Nantene, and Peace.  :hee:

However there has been a question on my mind. If Nobunaga comes back, who is going to be the top? (They'll probably fight it out though...) But if one or the other loses, where does the losing top go to? :dunno:

Season 3 has the makings of being better than Season 1.
Yep. I said it. Come at me, bro.

Season 3's writing is just much better. This is how any sequels to MG should go: just like sentai series. Every season is approximately the same plot as S1, but tailored to the members used and with little tweaks to the writing here and there in a new setting.

SPOILERS FOLLOW

Man, Mongoose look great. They don't have the fucking amazing Rappappa jackets, but the balance of hair color highlights makes for a similar color balance. Habu look so pathetic in comparison, lol.

But I like Habu's solidarity much better than Acchan's crew from previous seasons. This is one aspect in which S3 is the best of all of MG. Except that Paru ruins everything with her awful acting, of course.

Oh Kanon, putting little twists on your gag everytime doesn't make it any less annoying, but it does make things a little amusing.  :lol:

Anya is amazing. She and Lemon should form a permanent comedy duo of awesome. Anya will continue being a bamf and Lemon will continue to be all "BWAAAAAA!???"  :rofl:

Annin is really too pretty. Is she a halfie? And she's doing a great job as this season's Sado.

LOL, on the one hand, this season's version of the Erena storyline is written better than the original, but the acting is just so...XD
I can't decide which version is worse: shitty writing, or shiiiiiiiiitty acting.

Heyo, Peace has joined Team Exposition scenes!
omg this episode's Team Exposition scene, though.  XD The acapella.   :rofl: :rofl: XD XD The writer has seriously found his comedic groove.

Well damn, they tried to make Tetsuo and Uruseeyo act again. Maria does, however do a great "I feel awkward about how Uruseeyo is acting right now!" face.

But heh, "Docchi janee yo!" Inside jokes FTW.

Hooray, Daasu isn't an idiot! That makes her rise up my ranking of this season's characters. Hope she makes a proper match for Annin.

Lol, looks like they ran out of budget for extras. Quick, write them out with a deus ex machina plot twist! Who needs extras when you've got so many Team 4 members to burn?

WHOOOOOOOO JURINAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! SHIT'S GOING DOWN, MOFUCKAS!

Worst ep of the season so far.

Yeah that interesting thing we teased last week, let's call in our cartoon prison leaders to stop it. Ridiculous. And then we were treated to 25 minutes of more nothing. The whole nantene gag this week reached a whole new level of retarded.

So Nobunaga shows up finally, huh? Cool, at least next ep someone might get their ass moderately kicked via air punches and verbally assaulted by some banal no-shit-sherlock dialogue. Or maybe we'll learn the prison is a holodeck and Captain Picard is behind everything in some Evangelion-level mindfuck world.

Gomen, I'm totally losing patience with this show. :lol: I want to believe~

I'm kind bleh about J being Nobunaga. I think the should've got someone 'new' (as in, wasn't the main character of the last season), though I guess it fits.

+1.

Ep 6 was ok-ish. The plot progressed a bit and we got some jokes, but nothing on the same level as episode 5.
I like how they managed to make 'nantene' a funny running gag after all these weeks of agony  :lol:

I'd rate it a 6.5/10

I honestly think this is the worst of the season so far, but I like it far better than I thought I would, going in. And the reason I was sceptical is I don't know much about AKBs newer generation. The little I do know, I don't really like that much. But I was surprised, I actually started to like quite a few of them. Even Paru with what must be the worst acting in the series since Daruma.

But the latest episode wasn't very interesting, for some reason Mongoose haven't got any weight to them at all. Except Suzuran, she is pretty badass as a deadly golfer. They are shaping this show up to be alot like Death Race from the looks of it. Is that good or bad? Only time will tell.

My favorite episode so far must be episode 4. It had the most interesting fight.  :cow:

Oh, and every episode needs more Peace. Just saying.

Not that I dislike paru, but irl, both paru n miyu have same pokerface trademark.. so I automatically comparing them.

The story getting weird, with the disappearance and all the mumble of the director of prison..really have no idea where this going to be..

Post by: kuronekosan on August 30, 2012, 11:42:52 PM
To me, it's getting more interesting now with Nounaga thrown in the mix. The deal that the director is offering is intriguing. But most likely it has something to do with Nobunaga choosing between herself and her team. I love how there's blood on her clothes. It makes her look all the more formidable. No doubt that this season hasn't been able to beat the previous seasons. But that's why the management want to groom the juniors more. They need to be given a chance to grow and this happens to be it.

With all the under-appreciated members being featured, I was pleasantly surprised when Jurina was revealed. Perhaps it was their bid for more viewers. Or maybe(less likely) that they find her perfect for the role? But you can't deny loving that move. Jurina as badass Nobunaga is just plain unadulterated awesomeness.
Next big question. Will there be a season 4? It'll all depend heavily on what else happens in this season. Cause I'm seriously getting a jailbreak vibe.....but may be not.

Honestly, while all the akb references and fanservice is all fun and games, if you REALLY wanna expand their fanbase and potentials, I feel that they ought to be given roles in a serious project. Like a REAL movie or series that isn't akb related. We get that you want to promote the group. But seriously, making akb puns at every chance isn't gonna cut it. Invest money in a renowned director, get a good, logical, interesting script and storyline ready, do everything like you're supposed to and it's bound to turn out better. And instead of ASSIGNING roles, why not let the girls AUDITION for them. That way, people with proper acting skills and deserving of the part will get the chance, no matter senior or junior. Casting plays a MAJOR role in every project.

I kinda don't like the acting of Paru. She either has one single expression of none at all.
At least they warned us before each episode that there will be "bad acting".

I just wonder why they put her into the prison...

WARNING. LOTS OF SPAZZING OVER A CERTAIN SKE ACE FOLLOWS.
Also spoilers.

JURINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

...

...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--

Paru can fuck off.

FFFFFFJURINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh. The theme song. Whatevs.

...

SHIT SON, IT'S MOTHERFUCKING JURI-FUCKING-NOBUNAGA BEING MORE AWESOME THAN THIS SERIES CAN HANDLE, BREAKING PHYSICS AND SHIT!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Man, I fucking hate Paru's not-even-bad-enough-to-make-fun-of acting, ruining what could be a Samuel L. Jackson-level of Jurinawesome.

SHIT SON, WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING AWESOME, JURINA, SHIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT.

Wow, Kanon and Kawaei are rapidly becoming my favorite Habu members, even individually. Together, definitely.

The things Peace can smuggle in here: knives, scissors, and now grills!? Man, this is the worst prison ever.  :lol:

Lol, Kawaei excluded from SKE acapella harmony.  XD Team Exposition shenanigans always win.  :thumbup

Jurina can induce me to fan-spazzing even without being on screen. By voice alone!  :panic:

Man, fuck off, Paru.

This script and new plot turn is really, really retarded, but who fucking care, JURINA IN DA HOUSE, BITCHES!  :bow:

LOLWARDENBOOBIES. The Head Guard is one of the best characters in this thing. Habu should learn more comedic timing skills from him. His Uruseeyo fetish is just creepy, though.

Hah, "atashi dayo" vs. "ore dayo." They're really serious about this butch!Haruu thing.
But Komimi's getting all passive-aggressive snarky, love it. Heh, Tetsuo being all insecure never gets old.

Oh snap, son, Miyu taking down Bunker! Game changers abounding! (It's really too bad about Bunker being the Worf of this series, though.)

Is it just me, or have they dialled back the ParuxPeace aspect a shit ton? Are they really going to leave her character development the way it is for the greater prison intrigue?

So ParuxMiyu is set, so predicting other matchups! (not in order)
Kawaei and Kanon vs. Lemon and Kato
Annin vs. Oba
Komimi vs. Bunker
Messi and Mariya vs. Tetsuo and Uruseeyo
Peace vs. Anya

But of course, as with the ParuxPeace being dropped, I doubt we'll get to see all of the other matchups, the rest of the series is probably going to be spent over all of this "purpose of the prison" bullshit, which is just so stupid considering how much time they spent hyping Mongoose up. I guess they realized that Habu as we've seen them in the series thus far would all get their asses wiped by Mongoose, so they're just going to avoid any actual fights.  :smhid

At least this episode tried to do shit. It failed completely, but it tried. :sweatdrop:

The Paru x Miyu stuff might have been cool were it not for awful acting and line delivery on both their parts, and it actually went somewhere. It pretty much didn't. Instead we got a Dragonball Z episode of epic stares and words words words that don't really add much to the story.

And the foundation of this show, the prison, is ran by such cartoon characters I feel like even if the story turned amazing, I wouldn't be able to see past them. :lol:

Why they put Paru X Miyu fight first,

I think it's because the real fight is not Habu vs. Mongoose, but the girls vs. prison.

Like center nobunaga said, paru should save her fist for a bigger fight. So I assume, the big fight is not the fight between paru and miyu.



Miyu's character getting interesting, I already fall in love with that antagonist  :twisted:
She's still not perfect in acting, but well.. at least she give some effort  8)

And annin..whuoooh.. :inlove:

Post by: Phantom on September 04, 2012, 04:47:25 PM
Really disapointed in the latest episode (7). I mean things were going in the right direction and finally it felt like the plot started kicking in. Then when they announced the arranged fight thing, I was soooo hoping for a rule that made the loser in each fight get killed by the bracelet. Each fight would have had so much more impact and it would be alot more dramatic. It would have helped to make the prison look really bad too, I mean sure Paru have a reason to go up against them, but didn't all the others actually commit a crime that had them sent there?

It was better than the last episode but they dropped the ball for me. It's kinda my own fault for building up my expectations, but oh well...

I hope we actually get to see the other members of Habu fight at least, so there can be some suspense in who might win the fights. Not just having Paru steamrolling all of Mongoose.


Edit: I'm still hoping this series will tie into Majisuka Gakuen 1 and 2 somewhere. Like a little shot at the end of someone visiting Maedas grave or perhaps Paru starting school at MajiJo.

The way they talk about the prison, it's like it's alive, it reminds me of that episode of South Park where the Wal-Mart was a living entity and everything you did was because it was up to it. So does that mean Keita was a sacrifice to get Paru?

One thing I just want to know is what's up with Nobunaga's eye? Like I find that more interesting instead so far. :lol: The whole thing with the Prison Guard and the Uruseyo standee was incredible disturbing but I love that the adults have a bigger role, whatever it is.

Ever since episode 5, it's been kind of slow but from the looks of the preview of episode 8 unless it lies we're finally picking things back up.

Want to know what exactly is up with Peace though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but:

- Miyu wants to be closer to Keita
- Miyu kills Keita as ordered by the prison
- Paru talks to Miyu (this episode)
- Miyu wants to do the right thing and do what Keita would have wanted --> BIT LATE, ISN'T IT.  :doh:

This week's episode... meh. The fight was slightly cooler than what has gone on this season, but the usual comments still apply unfortunataly. Low quality script and even lower quality delivery make for a kinda frustrating watch. I was excited to see on Google+ that Churi was going to be in the episode, and she was... for five seconds. And yeah, the story behind why Miyu is there and why this "prison" is such a huge deal is ridiculously underexplained for how overplayed it's becoming.

If the prison suddenly did this (http://bit.ly/RuvD29), and Paru was to eat a Mario mushroom and do battle with it, it might just liven things up. :lol:

Post by: Phantom on September 10, 2012, 03:56:12 AM
The reason why Miyu is with the prison has got to damn good if she killed (what apparently was) her "one true love" Keita over it. I mean she has been close to Keita since they were young (?), and at the time were she is about to kill him she isn't wearing the bracelet, so wouldn't it be more rational for her character to warn him, suggest they run away or basically anything except following orders and stab him down in cold blood.

It also feels pretty unnecessary to throw in that bit about him wanting to reveal the prison or whatever when they already have a reason to kill him (to get Paru thrown in jail). That just opens up alot of more questions like, how did he find out? Did Miyu tell him and if so, doesn't that mean she trusts him and so on.

Sigh, goodbye chance of season 3 being any good. This storyline is just all sorts of wasting the characters. Not to mention that we've had so many episodes without one proper fight, so there's never been any feeling of stakes until now, over halfway through.

Of course, it still has a chance of being better than season 2, as the writing and execution of this retarded storyline is still better done than the entirety of season 2,(minus the NezCen, of course) even if the concept is about as shitty.

The neverending threat to S3 getting any better, of course, is the acting. XD Exceptions: everyone in Mongoose other than Miyu. Also, JURINA WHOOOOOOOOOOO THIS POST NEEDS MORE JURINA SPAZZZZZZ
Seriously, has there ever been anyone in all three seasons as bad as Paruru in acting? (Well, okay, technically Abe Maria comes close, but at the same time she's better in that she portrays an actual character and emotions, whereas Paruru is completely a blank slate at all times.)

Oh shit, they seriously put child molestation AND suicide into this thing with Nobunaga's backstory!? Them late night shows, eh? (Still remember the time they had porno mags with clear nipples visible in Mendol)

Also, this "kill people by punching them forever" thing is stupid. If you really wanted to kill someone in hand to hand, you wouldn't be hitting them in the face with your fist. You don't even need fucking bricks. You don't use punches to the face to incapacitate someone for the killing blow, either. Writer fails at basic fighting knowledge. All they needed to do to properly continue suspension of disbelief while keeping the punch-fest to make time for all of the monologuing would be a short line justifying punching, like Paru getting satisfaction out of it, or wanting to inflict equal pain as she feels from the heartbreak, etc.

LOL LOOK AT ALL OF THE CAMEOS! LOLCHURI SMILING THROUGH YOUR LINE

Lol, was Miyu roommates with Annin?

Oh snap, Peace is re-jected! (You gotta wonder what her roommate dynamic was like with Nobunaga, though, given the way she strongly latched onto Paru.)

OH SHIT, NOBUNAGA and ANNIN HAVE HISTORY!  :w00t: I fucking ship it already.

Yeah, I was thinking about that a bit. I just can't get past my own damn biased views on Peace (Yuria) so I can read the situation clearly, and I'm most likely reading waaaay to much into her character. But I have this feeling she is going to betray Paru/Habu at some point. Reasons..

1. The way she can just get stuff out of nowhere.
2. She was rooming with Nobunaga, somehow it would fit if she betrayed Nobunaga or something similar. At least something must have happened with this (?).
3. There has been a few times (like at the end of this recent episode when she got rejected) were she gave Paru this look. I don't know, the camera just lingered a little too long and the expression on her face made her look a little evil intentioned.

Now, this is just a loosely based theory. Very loosely. It's just a feeling I get, but it could of course just be because she is my oshimen I'm reading to much into her appearance in this. In fact that's the most likely thing. Perhaps someone can shatter this theory to pieces for me.

At least I think Maria's character is all around awkward, I just can't help but laugh every time I see her trying to pretend to be cool. :lol: Probably just me but I keep likening Paru to a mannequin, she even stands like one maybe she's really a robot

YES THIS THIS if it was one thing that bothers me the most, it's the fighting. At the beginning it was okay but steadily it just got more and more repetitive, episode 5 was good since Messi & Yagi obviously fought smart and dirty, that was a great change up but now we're back to square one. Plus, they wear all these little accessories and NO ONE goes for the damage with those, seriously?!

It's a prison for cheese's sake, you're obligated to fight cheaply. :|

Also, waiting for Nobunaga to break out of her prison chair and fuq shiz up; Annin is my hope for some excitement back in this show.

Of course, it still has a chance of being better than season 2, as the writing and execution of this retarded storyline is still better done than the entirety of season 2,

IIRC, in season 2 we had Gekikara gone beserk over the enemy beating up Gakuran and she almost CRUSHED someone with a PIANO. --> In season 3 we have Paru holding a brick.

No matter how you look at it, there is no way S3 can ever be better than S2  :lol:

^Okay, so the fighting in S2 has been better. I'll give you that. (Although the lack of damage from getting smacked by fucking pipes is just as bad as the punch-fest)

But story-wise, S3 is tighter, actually gives us character motivations that make sense, character motivations that relate to each other and the prison setting, consistent character developments for most of Habu and Mongoose, and most importantly, stakes! Previous seasons only had this vague concept of "being the top" driving everyone to fight, but here you have life or death stakes for these fights! There's no walking away from it, either, because it's not a school where you can hide out in the city and avoid campus, but a locked setting where no one can leave. 

Also, S3 has the advantage of having, like, negative expectations. :lol: I didn't even notice how shitty the fighting was until this ep because I had no expectations that anything would be worth noticing, including the fights. But my hopes for the season have been increasing the past few episodes, so I started paying attention to more, and they really shoved the punch-fest into our faces this ep until I couldn't just ignore it. 

Episodes for each season can be summarized as thus:
S1: Team Hormone hypes up baddie of the week, Maeda defeats them. Maeda becomes more and more ideal to succeed Yuko.
S2: I don't know what the fuck will happen, but it will be disappointing.  :lol: And another S1 character is going to get nerfed.
S3: A new challenger appears!!! Habu are ineffectual. Paru defeats the newcomer. This increases Habu's loyalty to Paru.

ok. that's not gonna happen... :nervous ...till the movie!!! :P

jokes aside. I think S3 has already done its job just like past seasons. Getting ppl to know the new 48 members.
Compared to other recent night jdramas with the same theme like Shiritsu, Kurohyo 2 and Clover, MG3 has so far been pretty good with characters/story/action. It's nothing award winning, but at least its solid.

As for the criticism. I know it's all coming from guys who want to see the show improve.
Yeah, ppl hated S1 when it was on. But it made all the great characters.
ppl hated S2 when it was on because it was going all fan-service but basically changed everything we liked about it. And the story was like noodles.
And ppl hate S3 now cos it's like Battle Royale 2. With ppl thinking WTF happened to the whole premise (you'know, the good one with schoolgirls hitting each other. umm, at school). But when the show ends, they'll still want a S4. :lol:
It's cool to hope it'll get better. Course, with a 3rd person view we can see a million ways to improve it. It's totally different for the guys that are working hard to crank each episode out.

Ep 9 potential SPOILERS:


- Anna beating the crap out of Paru  :thumbup I like it when the protagonist isn't invulnerable. I also like unexpected endings, but I doubt we'll get one in this series.
- J breaking out is pretty cool. Maybe she can spice up the final episodes a bit more.
- Last supper looked pretty cool. I guess Miyu already betrayed them. lol

And Episode 9 came and went...

There is three episodes left, so they better pick up the pace. We can most likely be sure about not seeing much Habu vs Mongoose (with the other members).

It's weird how they divide the focus of the show between their fight with Mongoose and their struggle with the Prison, yet nothing is moving forward.  :smhid

Hah, do I sense Annin forcing Miyu to drop the soap in the near future?

oh man, time for another session of Jurina squee? 8D

And here comes from the usual Team Exposition hype! Kuumin and Maria being awesome, hah.

Dawwww, ObaShimada leadership duo! <3

Well, I gotta say that the main breakout characters this season are definitely Annin and Juri. In terms of best rookie acting of the season, Annin wins hands down, definitely, but Messi has quite of bit of charisma as well.

LOL, so Jurina is just so fucking irresistable that no matter what character she takes it turns into yuri with her main interaction partner. First Nezumi, now Annin. Gotta love it. I FUCKING SHIP IT. Man she was flirting with the girl with seductive husky voice so much. *goes to jail*

Shit son, Annin is so much a better Sado-equivalent than Oba! Both in terms of presence and acting believability. Glad they're giving her so much screentime now.

Well, it looks like the writing has improved back to best-MG-season-potential again. Feeling optimistic again after the last two episodes' shit.

Fuck, I was kind of hoping Paru would be going down so we could get eps showing Habu finally becoming competent.

Insert more Jurina squee here.

Paru-Annin fight lasting two episodes. THE OTHER CHARACTERS ARE BEING WASTED. D: (But it's still better than season 2.)

Yeah there might not be enough time or even a reason for a Habu vs Mongoose brawl now.

Team Mongoose really is pretty well made. All members having a likeable and distinct character.
Not too powerful to be able to smash Habu to the ground, but just enough of an advantage to be bad-ass. Too bad they didn't show up straight at the start.
Annin's cool and calculating chara, with her honor to group survival really does resemble Sado a lot.

With Paru hurt so bad, will she even be any use in the last few episodes. Mongoose starting the revolt next episode might actually cause the whole group to fall. Leaving Habu to save the day.
And the end-fight. Another Annin vs Paru, Annin vs J, Paru vs J, a 3-way, or maybe a Paru vs Yuria?
Probably none of the above and they'll all just hug and go their own ways just like past seasons... :roll:

I don't know how I thought about the fight, it was... okay. It was okay. It looked like a pair of friends just fighting... Well... personally, to me. I thought it was "cute" how Paru and Annin did that at the end of the fight, although it resulted to Team Mongoose losing and kept in a cage.

Though now... did the lady say they have to versus each other now? I'm not sure, I don't understand Japanese that well. (Surprised that I understood enough of it to understand the entire episode.) I frankly have no comments for that. None at all. Is she trying to find more possible "cleaners" or is she trying to prolong the battle so she can "awaken" Paru?

But I loved the part where Nobunaga came into the picture. The part where she stared at the camera before bringing out some unknown device before pressing the button was nice. I mean, I somewhat liked the part where she slowly said, "Prison... Hope." Ladyhasbeenfuckedoverthehead. Because I think I spotted Jurina smile slightly while beating one of the guards, I have to assume Nobunaga was enjoying that. LOL.

I've been realizing that they're making some of the members actually drop by themselves without the mattress-like things (mn... I don't know what they're called...) now for some scenes? Like for the last episode, Annin spin-kicked Paru's legs, and actually had her fall by herself (so this kind of surprised me). And then in this scene they had Paru fall backward because Annin pushed her body back while she was down. Are they not using those mattress things or is this just some awesome program where they can hide the fact that they used a mattress without hiding it behind the camera? LOL....

Subtitles for episode 10 are out (http://forum.sub48.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=559)  :thumbup


Random thoughts:
- The fight between Paru and Anna was unconvincing and thus pretty uninteresting.
- This was the best shot during the first 20 minutes or so:

(http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48/t/jphip132431.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48/jphip132431.jpg)

- I think the Prisoners VS Jail twist might actually work out much better than the two teams fighting each other. It makes a lot more sense and they can work towards a proper ending of the season.
- Treatening to kill yourself with a knife doesn't make sense when you can just walk out of there and let the bracelet do its work. Or, if the bracelet is just a scam or it malfunctions than it works out even better, haha.
- I would have left Miyu locked up. She killed Keita and was a snitch. Screw her.
- Jurina pwned the ep in the 20 seconds she was in it. lol

Episode 10 was a decent ep. The fight between Paru and Anna was downright boring, though. The twist makes me anticipate episode 11. Leave it to Jurina to save the day. It will be cool to see the two teams pair up and kick some ass.

Maybe I'm just happy it's nearly over, too. lol

The action in the Paru/Annin fight sure ended being a letdown, especially considering it started so nice. At least that's one thing done in the checklist.
Metal Gear Jurina show-stealing again with her cool short scenes. :thumbup

Finally up to date. There's just something about this show which makes me really want to see it - maybe its the damn slow pace.

EP10: Annin Paru was ridiculous, lets trade punches. They should have made out at the end. Jurina completely ruled when she arrived. I'm so glad the revolution has finally started - Paru being a boss. As always, pretty excited for next ep.

Man, the LemonRena dynamic is growing on me.

Still not buying the Yuria hype. She's slightly overacted without having any real distinct character. If Paruru's acting was actually convincing she'd basically be Yuria's acting and they'd be a perfect couple of blandness, lol. Makes me wonder if that's why they cut back on the ParuPeace so much, after they realized that they have, like, negative chemistry with each other. XD

In contrast, the rest of Habu's acting has gotten better over the course of the series. Mongoose have been pretty awesome from the start, of course.

YES, they finally justified the front end of episodes developing the bonds of Habu! Okay, going to stand by my opinion that MG3 has had the best writing out of the three seasons thus far.

Lol, the color of the supervisor's blood is too pink.

Dananananana nananananana NOBUBATMAN.

Heh, Bunker may have turned out to be one of the weaker members of Mongoose, but she still remains awesome as a character in the way she consistently acts.

AHAHAHAHAHA They actually made the point that Peace smuggled in fucking scissors into the place a plot point. Too bad it should have been someone STABBING THE FUCKING GUARDS WITH IT instead of a stupid suicide threat.

Um. What. They had baseball bats, pipes, and shit the entire fucking time. WHAT. THE. FUCK. I can't. I just can't. What.

Trying to shoehorn in Peace development this late in the game out of nowhere is fail. There was no build-up about any abandonment/loneliness issues Peace might have had to justify her clinginess, much less that "I've never had friends before" shit. Even Komimi's forced tell, don't show backstory reveal was done better than this.

Whoooo more ObaShimada teamwork! Always gives me the warm fuzzies.

Insert you regular dose of Jurina squee here. NOBUBATMAN, BITCHES.

Man, next ep looks kind of epic. Dammit, I can't get my expectations up or I won't be able to enjoy the ep's camp!

After the second time watching, this time with subs, I've never really thought much about their fighting scenes, but this time, they really kinda got me down... It wasn't like I expected it to be. I actually kinda wanted Paru to lose. Like, really lose. (Sadistic? ...nyah probably not. :bigdeal: )

But like I said, I thought the "growing friendship" with Paru and Annin was cute..ish.

Despite all this, I'm excited for the next episode. I mean, I wonder if Peace is upset that "Paru isn't coming", because I can't tell exactly.

Since I'd watched the raw version yesterday morning, and the part where Nanashi says that she doesn't want to fight with her friends didn't really appeal to me until now that I find out that Nantene says, "Let's die together then!" Aw... :heart:

Lastly, only until the second time watching it, I finally realized that they had all the SKE fellows in Habu together to try and get the map. At first, I was really wondering why Nanashi didn't say anything to follow her, and I was like "Ah! SKE MEMBERS! I see, I see..."


Dananananana nananananana NOBUBATMAN.

Couldn't disagree more. I think Yuria is one of the better actors of the bunch. Yes, I'm abit biased but it isn't hard to see the acting range of them (not saying she is THE best one, but she is pretty good). Even the "professionals" like the Warden are hamming it up 200%, that's what these shows are about. They are meant to be campy, for me the acting couldn't matter less anyways.

I think though that everyone is getting better, like the people from Mongoose . Especially Bunker (Suzuran) and Annin. Still it feels like the whole of Mongoose except Miyu and Annin are basically AKB members appearing as cameos. We haven't found out smack about them, and we won't.


About the recent episode itself (Ep10) I thought it was by far the best one yet from this season. Stuff is actually happening (I know, right?). I like how Mongoose finally got personality and development as a group. They finally graduated from "evil without reason". They ended the Paru vs Annin fight fairly quick which gave room for alot of other things to happen, which made the pacing great, but perhaps slightly rushed towards the end even though I'd rather have that than the turtle speed this series has been going in up to this point. I think this is the first time they've actually made proper use of the 28min episode length. If they continued making episodes like these I'd love to see a 4th season.

Also now that Habu vs Mongoose is pretty much over with, the focus of this show will hopefully get alot more coherent.

Well, at least unlike Majigaku 2, season 3 might end on a good note. :sweatdrop:

I really enjoyed this ep, honestly. Action, and GOOD action no less, epic plot twists, more good action, plot progression, enemies resolving their differences, a good cliffhanger ending leading to the finale... they nailed it. Granted it all does feel a bit shallow even now since the leadup thus far has been so lackluster, but hey, I'll take it. Peace's betrayal was quite unforeseen, maybe even a bit random, but this'll be a true make or break moment for Paru. I like it cause it's interesting. At this point sense is out the window, let's just have fun. :lol:

Oh, and the Acchan reference. LOL.

And of final note, holy crap is Murashige Anna awesome. She may be a bit of a minor supporting character but every time she gets on screen she nails her role. Really impressed. :thumbup Also feel mostly the same for Takahashi Juri.

I'm eager to see the finale. This could be interesting.

Peace's betrayal was quite unforeseen

I called it after episode two  XD  :twothumbs

Well, we don't know for a fact that Paru killed Keita. We don't know what Peace actually saw on that file. I'm hoping Peace has a dark back story (and maybe a link to Paru) as well. She may turn out to be the most evil girl in the prison.

It explains how Peace is able to secure all those goods and how Nobunaga was captured at the time.
It also makes sense how they have a spy in each team (Miyu and Peace).


Anyway, yeah, this episode was pretty good. Most characters got a chance to shine to some extent  :thumbup

I feel like they were trying to introduce the new characters and the new environment but they stretched it on for too long and tried speeding things up like in #5 but it slowed down again to explain what was going on now that the prison was actual some conspiracy or something. The team battles would have been great if it had started a little earlier but didn't just boil down to like 2 fights overall, show off some of the other characters at least.

I also didn't like that Paru won all her battles (though the one with Annin was more like a draw) it just wasn't exciting and it just turned her character boring to me, if she had gotten beaten a few times or something and had more to fight for than just learning about what happened to Keita and worrying more about her team like showing development and interacting with the others instead would have been great.

Episode 11 felt rushed after everything but I enjoyed it since we actually got something going on for once, I just wished they hadn't waited until the very last couple of episodes. Well, can't say I didn't enjoy it, I just wished they had put more effort in the characters and making some of the episodes a little more interesting.

Another ending making ppl go WTF~ Compared to MG2's last episode though, I'd say this time it was handled much better. And there's hope. :)

Guess ppl are gonna complain there lacking a climax fight scene of some sort.
Instead we get this scene (http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee374/kyot777/AKB%20Diary%202012/2012-10/mg3ep12-05-08.jpg). Which probably made Airin watching TV go all  :drool: then all "We're not worthy~" :bow:

The ending lacked the amount of "ending" I would have preferred but compared to Majisuka 2, it was pretty good. In and of itself I'd say it was decently done. Paruru finally got a chance to shine a bit and she did pretty well with the emotional scenes. Yuria hit it out of the park. :thumbup But as with the rest of the series everything happened so fast that if you sit and analyze it, it all feels flimsy. (like how Peace sure turned from prison brainwashed to enlightened quite fast, and had no trouble betraying her own crazy bitch mother and dead brother :lol: ) Oh well, it's nothing worse than what this season has dished out at us the whole time. I didn't have any major problem with how they decided to end it.

Overall, I'd say this season was watchable but lacking in many regards. It was at least coherent. It had a plot and it followed through with it even if in a kinda shallow way. I liked it so much better than Majisuka Gakuen 2 because at least it all stayed together. MG2 was just a boiling pot of whatthefuck story-wise. At least everything here made sense. However beyond the main idea the story wasn't explored much. Character development was pretty shoddy across the board and progressed so fast it was virtually non-existent for many characters. It's hard to sink your teeth into a show when you don't really know or like the characters. I think the girls did a good job with their roles. There were some performances that come off badly, but I think it's because they didn't really know what to do since their character had only three or four lines per episode. I think Paruru did a good job. Sure she was blank and emotionless for a lot of it, but she was just honoring the script. :lol: Yuria did pretty damn good, too. All the supporting girls did fine as well. Overall, I don't regret watching it, but I don't see myself watching it again. Maybe in ten years when I don't remember it. :lol:

Maybe I'm being a bit hard on the show. Majisuka Gakuen has never been about epic plot development or amazing character storylines, but you know what? Majisuka Gakuen 1 was clever, fun, and interesting. Majisuka Gakuen 2 tried xerox copy it, do away with some things that made MG1 fun, jab in some incoherent, low quality elements and failed as a show terribly. Majisuka Gakuen 3 did something a little different which definitely helped, but the fun and cleverness was still missing, in my opinion. If Majisuka Gakuen 4 is inevitable, I hope they look back and try and bring those things back into it. Honestly, though, I hope we move on to something else next year. Or, do something totally different and epic like tenkei's suggestion of Space Battleship Majisuka. Yankii's in space! :thumbup

I FEEL SO CHEATED OF MY TEARS. I'm a soft person and I cried when the lady said "I'm sorry" to Peace and Peace called her mom. And then "BAM", THAT. OH MY GOD. YOU CRAZY, WOMAN.

But I laughed so hard at Nanashi, getting revenge for all the people who were electroshocked by the chief guard.

alkerjlksdmf... NOBUNAGAxANNIN, OHGOD. AUGH. (PEACExPARU, OHGOD. SKJERHKJ. NANTENExNANASHI.)

I was really happy when Paru cried. Really happy. LOL.

At the end when the three of them smiled, I literally yelled "SOCIETY!" throughout the entire house. I don't know if the neighbors heard me through the windows. LOL.

I 'wtf'-ed at the end when they all smiled even when they got captured... o-o

Because this is just me, I want them to make a seperate season (or just make it MG4? lol) on breaking out the others. +w + But I already know it's never going to happen... ; - ;

Finally watched the last two episodes and boy oh boy does this show pick up. Unfortunetly abit late but atleast it's something. Yuria being a traitor, I knew there was something about her like I wrote earlier at some point. I didn't have 100% faith in it since Yuria is my oshimen and I was just so happy she was in this at all. Didn't know if I was reading too much into her character. She did crazy good in this towards the end, I was almost tearing up and I've never cried during a movie or show (not trying to sound "cool" or anything, I just don't get too emotionally invested).

About the ending itself though it feels like they are hinting "somewhat" that it might continue without making any promises. Personally after these last episodes I'd love to see a sequel. About her coming back for the rest of them, I guess that will be solved when she exposes the prison with that data. Although since I'm assuming they actually committed crimes to end up in there, they might just get transfered. Anyways, what I wanted to see was something that tied into the other Majisuka seasons. There was unfortunetly nothing like that.

I thought Majisuka Gakuen 2 did away with exactly the right things. They rid themselves of the formulaic episodes (for the most part). Daruma. A main character, which I think is pretty much what a show like this benefits from since it can focus on other characters. I thought the story was better, there was more drama, interesting character growth (if yet still somewhat cliché and campy, it's still Majisuka we are talking about). Sure the villian was abit tacked on but the motives were still better than alot of the ones in the recent season (for instance Miyu). I actually hope they bring us a Majisuka Gakuen 4 to help tie the series together (and show me more Yuria  :peace:). But if not, I'm fine with that too.

Did someone actually suggest a Space Battleship Majisuka? My desktop backround I use right now is a tacky, crappy made-in-photoshop "poster" for a "Majisuka Gakuen Battleship" that I made one boring afternoon. :)

It is true that they did move away from the "monster of the week" formula to a point, and it was interesting to see something a bit more tied together episodically. Still, I found what they did to be really flat.

As for the story, I'll just have to respectfully disagree. :lol: To me season 2 was, as I said before, flat. I also didn't really see a lot of good character growth with a few exceptions. Mayu's excellent portrayal helped a lot, but the reasons behind it all were a bit messy. I will agree with you that at least the villians in season 2 had more believable reasons for doing what they did compared to season 3. There was more substance there for sure.

Yeah, I get what you're saying and don't totally disagree. :thumbup

Finally got around to watch the final episode. It left me with a bit of a "meh" feeling.

This season was very hit or miss. I think there were only two or three eps that I actually enjoyed.
I appreciate that they started over with all new characters in a "new" setting... but somehow it just never took off.
I didn't feel connected to any of the characters. No one to cheer for, no one to root for... Nothing to really look forward to.
Sure, some of them were cool, props to JuriNagao combi, LemonAnna, Iriyama, etc., but the characters were all very flat compared to the powerhouses we got before like Gekikara, Gakuran, etc.

I prefer MG2 to MG3 on pretty much every level. The TomoTomo fight, Gekikara running in to rescue Gakuran, all the Nezumi x Center schemes... Yes, MG2 had some massive flaws as well, but it still had some proper "woah" moments.

Post by: Rayle on October 14, 2012, 11:46:47 PM
So, I liked this season. A lot. On S1 levels. It especially succeeded in that it won me over to the majority of Team 4, who I had only paid cursory attention to before, and it made me like every single character played by the girls, other than Paru and Peace.  :lol:

No, the overall acting was not as good as S1. (Just listen to the digest at the beginning of ep 11. Monotone, monotone, monotone, monotone, JURINA LIKE BOSS, monotone, monotone, soft-n-silky Annin.  XD) There were individuals who were on par with S1's greats, like Jurina, Annin, Juri, and Anya, and most of the others were about on par with the Team Hormone ham, and then you had the likes of Maria and Kawaei who started out ridiculously bad, and then slowly turned that badness into a charm. I've ragged on Paru's acting all season already.
But these last two episodes were supposed to be Yuria's tour de force. You can see that Yuria has an easier time spitting out the words, and has a nice flow to them, but again, I got absolutely no character. I have no idea what Peace's personality is supposed to be. They didn't even use the easy out of trying to show that Peace is a chameleon and thus why she's a blank slate of character, so I can't look over this. In a ham-fest like the MG series as a whole is, I'd rather have so-bad-it's-good acting with a distinct character, a la everyone else, than this non-persona. When I said that I liked every character other than Paru and Peace, I don't mean that I disliked Peace as a character. She's so bland I have no feelings about her character, but then the way the final two episodes hinge on her makes the story fall flat because of it. Kind of how the whole season gets dragged down by Paru's lack of character.  :lol: At least Paru kind of that those shoehorned romance subplots and "real stuff" gimmicks to fake some characteristics, so she wasn't quite as bad as Peace, who managed to have her "I am the requisition department" and STILL be blander than Paru and Paruru's acting!
Yuria was great as a exposition-bot. She got the information out quickly and clearly. She'd be a great omniscient narrator for something. But she's no character actor.

The final two episodes themselves were just this side of good, in isolation. They were a good culmination of everything the entire season has been building towards, primarily the camraderie between the girls. Unfortunately, the majority of the culmination was of the half of the season's events that were not shown on screen. The writing for this seems like it was meant for either 13 full-hour episodes or 26 half-hour episodes, but due to being 12 half-hour eps, they simply cut out so many character development/bonding moments to ensure that the plot and exposition necessary was in there, and a lot of that plot/exposition said, not shown, which is a waste of the medium. What's left meant that a lot of the alliances here between Habu and Mongoose rang false, such as Nanashi and Messi/Yagi, Annin and Dasu, or Tetsuo/Uruseeyo and Bunker. The implications of how it would work are there, like Messi/Yagi gaining respect for Nanashi since she didn't give up, but we didn't see that on screen, so in effect it didn't happen! Miyu, Peace, and Komimi's backstories also lost so much of their punch because they'd say that they'd change and why, instead of us seeing those decisions and developments occur organically.
So in other words, about on par with Power Rangers, which is appropriate since the writer for MG3 was an Ultraman writer.  :lol:

MG3 was better than MG2, imo. I can easily imagine the improved novelisations for MG1 and MG3, fixing continuity errors, fleshing out and/or deepening characterization, tightening up and interweaving plotlines better, because the show did most of my work for me already. MG2? I can't even begin to write that outline because while the story might work on its own, trying to make sure that it doesn't violate any characterization/themes/plot points set up in MG1 is near impossible. While MG2 did have great moments as SomethingWild said, the majority of those moments would NOT have happened without the massive characterization massacre that happened between MG1 and MG2. At that point, those moments are tainted by the fact that they only work when they've broken the story's internal logic, which imo is a much worse storytelling "crime" than not being realistic, which is MG3's.

(Have not given up on trying to fix-novelize MG2, though. I'm having to come up with completely new plot threads to do it, and it's as complicated as all get out, but it will happen at some point dammit.)

Post by: muppet on April 19, 2013, 09:12:15 PM
I decided to watch this series just recently,  and have just finished. I followed this thread, but made sure that I watched each episode first, before reading the comments posted here.

I enjoyed the first season, and have not seen Majisuka Gakuen 2, so cannot bring that into the discussion.

So my thoughts-

Aki P is correct, Yuria is amazingly talented- I already noticed this in magical radio, she is ready to be cast in any
Japanese Drama or comedy show- she is as natural in front of a camera as you can get, and she could play a someone her age in any show or film and do it right.

Two others pretty much good to go in the 'real world' are Kumi and Miyu.

Kumi might have a disadvantage from having been an idol, because in her case her extremely good looks might play against her. Audience might see her as an ex-SKE48 idoru, and she might only get cast in roles that match up to it. But I hope she gets her chance- she can do crazy mad, crazy funny, and does serious well.

Miyu did very well in this series, again she may be subject to being typecasted as the quiet, meek girl with a dark secret because she has a more serious look.

Next is Paruru- she was taking a lot of hits for her 'emotion- light' style of acting, it reminded me of Aachan in the first Majisuka, and that performance worked for me as did Paruru's performance in this drama. Her acting does seem to have less range than the first three girls that I mentioned above, but I though she did a good job, especially considering how much screen time she has.

I was pretty impressed by Kanon, and the puppet routine did not bother me, altough at times it was a bit shocking, like when a parrot decides to screech at any given moment. To me, the puppet speaking for her was classic 'tell' about someone who was traumatized at a very young age, just like Rina Kawaei writing letters to parents was a 'tell' for an abandoned child. And Kanon had some good lines later in the show and really delivered them like a pro.

And speaking of Rina, I thought she did well, she delivered her part nicely, especially in the last two episodes.

Mina Oba was good as a leader of one team- she has the age difference over most of the other ex team 4 members, and it was believable to see her as leader in this show.

Jurina is always good, if I had one criticism, and this might not be her fault, but they way the blocked her moves, she did not look to be that good of a fighter. This might have been the rush of the show, not Jurina's fault. Because earlier in the show, Paruru had a damn nice looking Steven Seagall Aikido feel about her fights, and then it turned into a 'how many times can I hit somebody in the face before they pass out, or before I break some bones in my hand' fighting style. But Jurina does have the camera presence to play a Nobunaga type role.

Other shout outs for small but cool parts- Lemon and Rena pairing worked nice. Miyori does deliver whatever she is asked to do, and the role was well written, and Rena had great timing.

Haruka Shimada and Maria Abe played the loveable goons- if there was some less than Oscar Award worthy acting skills, I think they still did justice to the roles.

Juri and Yagi- geez, that was a well thought out pair, similar to the Kabuki Sisters in Maji 1. But in this show the Juri/Yagi pairing was actually better developed than the pairing of the  Kabuki Sisters was in Maji 1.

And our loveable little Anna-stasia - she nailed her role- great experience for her.

Anna Iriyama had a nice opportunity here, but in comparison to the older AKB48 actresses who had major roles in  Maji 1, she did not have the prescence that her role really called for. I do think the size of the role was very good experience for her

The plot- yeah it was kind of slow some episodes, and then a couple of episodes flew really well. I have different expectations for 'Idol' films or dramas, then I would for a drama that was cast by auditions of actors. But for anyone who saw the very first Morning Musume film  'Morning Cop' , will know that Idol films have improved greatly.

So I enjoyed this series, and now I want to try and watch Majisuka Gakuen 2.

Yup. The first set is from 130505 AKB Eizo Center ep03.
The second set with the shower scene is from 130504 Tagarin ep04.

Hi Mayu4Acchan,

2 things you should note:
1. Questions like these might be better if asked in the 2 threads below. As the questions you asked has nothing to do with Majisuka Gakuen.
- The AKB48 Question Thread (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=21391.0). Ask us an AKB question, everybody will try to answer.
- [TEAM B] YUKIRIN ~ The Kashiwagi Yuki Thread (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=13724.0). Thread all about Yukirin.

2. When posting in the forum. You might want to only post one gif for each post, or thumbnails for multiple gif images or really big images.
So it won't slow browsing for everyone. Your 2 posts above is already near 10mb, you can guess how it would be if everybody posted like that. XD

Also, welcome to JPH!P! Hope you have fun checking out the forum. :)

I guess Majisuka Gakuen 3 is another story its different from the two it evolves on the prison not on the school anymore. As you can see Majisuka Gakuen 2 ended when Atsuko was arested by the police but for me it doesn't have any connection to Majisuka Gakuen 3.  :) :fap
