[bgcolor=#000000] LOL @ Miichan spitting hers back out. Japanese mannerisms ftw. :lol: [/bgcolor]
What I do not understand is that when the bite is a bit to big, Japanese people do not cut it in half ?? Must be mannerisms also.

Hey this was a good ep! The spicy food battle with the major contenders always make it interesting (Rena and Yuki).
Watching the girls trying to cool down their lips was hilarious. Yukirin had some good reactions as well :lol:

So what's the deal with Rena and meat? She just chooses not to eat it? Her being the only one to finish the chicken was really amazing! She really shined in this episode and went up in my books! I wonder why she is crying next episode :cry:

Come to think of it, sushi is pretty big too and they'll often eat that all at one go. And traditionally there would probably be nothing to cut with.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_manners#Japanese_table_manners

"When possible, sushi pieces and sections of cut rolls should be eaten in a single bite, or held in the hand until finished; setting half a piece back down on the plate is considered rude."

^ That would imply you can bite-off a piece, or in this case she could have first cut it it half.

But the 'when possible' probably takes precedence.
We westerners work from the 'don't stuff to much into your mouth' and cut it first, chopsticks are not really usefull for that with meat :)

I guess it's the same reason as to why Japanese always take big bites out of everything, even when it's admittedly been shown to taste like shit.

I would just like to add to the overall sentiment right now which is, this episode was a great watch! The format is so good that any new member can jump in and work the atmosphere which is what Akicha and Miichan did. However the rankings seem a bit off. The chicken looked more no.1 than the no.1 dish. Favorite moment? Akicha shivering in fear during the 1st dish.

The only thing I would like it to copy more of Hello! Morning [is], the epic English lesson class (just rip it off, invite Thane Camus, everybody outside Japan will rejoice!)

Crapper Hole! I should had realised that TV Tokyo had this idea in their recycle theme list. I just hope that it isn't some tiny 5 minute segment.

Looking forward to the English bits. Stuff like that is always full of win.

This. Kind of a boring episode. Might be a tiny bit interesting with subs/watching it more times to get more of the gist but not much. Poor Reina must be superstitious or something. XD

This week's episode was kind of a bust, IMO. A pretty cruel joke at the end and the way it was done was not too interesting.

Anyway, isn't that guy the same one who did some English bits with Morning Musume? I can't remember the face but he has the exact same voice that I remember in Kamei's classic refrigerator bit. XD

Next week's episode looks like it could be very good!

Assume you're talking about Thane Camus; in which case yeah, he is. I finally watched the ep. Sadly, this one had no refrigerator moments. I lol'd when Kasai said "I am hot!". Yes. Yes you are. And the way they simultaneously responded to the boyfriend question was telling.

What a cruel stunt they pulled! I must admit it was quite cute, the way they cried..:nervous

I enjoyed the ep, but yes, they could have done so much more with it (cough, DVD Magazine, cough).

Kasai is so sweet  :wub: Rie is awesome too. Her hair is way nicer than Acchan's  :P

Would've liked to see more from the first bit where they had to write down their answers... ah well.

^ I hope some of that ends up in the DVD, it seems they contain extended scenes and behind the scenes.
It might be a bit expensive to use those in a TV broadcast.

"I am Hot"  :grin:
