Okay, maybe there's something I don't understand about idol culture and the differences between that and American music culture, but...have these guys ever heard of a delay before? Why couldn't they just delay the concert a couple of weeks so Azusa could recover and catch up with everybody else?
Otherwise, pretty nice episode. Surprising to see Ritsuko at the center of attention for once. She's always just kinda been there, serving her role as Tomuguu Komachi or whatever's producer and little else.
They really need to stop teasing the whole thing with Chihaya and her family and fucking get to it. Maybe that's how they're setting up the end?

It means major plot developments.
Wrong. Your opinion is bad and you should feel ashamed.

Can any weebs (or Japanese speakers) explain these puns?
I know this is shiitake.
But what are these?
A pun based on "essa hoisa"?
The first pun here is "zouringen".
This is supposed to be based on the Japanese word for pun.
Tamako Market - Episode 5
Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Okay, so the episode wasn't dreadful, but it's pretty meh compared to the last two weeks. This show really feels empty when it is focusing on Tamako or something directly related to Tamako. She is an uninteresting character, and sort of a blank slate. That sort of protagonist can work if the narrative is told from her perspective about other characters. That's not the case here though. The focus of the narrative in the show shifts depending on who they want to follow in a given episode, and it feels much strong when it is about the supporting cast.
Tamako's relationships and how people relate to her are simply not that interesting, especially with the way she reacts (or fails to react), making it feel pointless and boring. It was an issue in the earlier episodes, and it is an issue here. On the other hand, when the show focused specifically on individual characters without dealing directly with Tamako, it is pretty damn enjoyable. Feels kinda sad that such a otherwise well produced show has a weak link in the storytelling which is so obvious. You would think it's something they could easily catch in the conceptual stage and fix.

Tsuki~~~~.
Also, no episode preview, so I guess cosmic was right.
Fuck da police, etc.
I don't think your issues with the show were something they overlooked. At the very least, Yamada and Yoshida expressed that they wanted Tamako's characterization to primarily come from the people around her. If it's boring, I don't think it's due to an oversight. It's probably just due to poor execution or an issue with how they implemented their concept.
ANN finally posted their Denpa Onna-focused interview with Shinbo. It's worth a read.

I kinda disagree that it's not something they overlooked, considering:
This is a good idea if that's what they're actually doing (ie: ep2-4), but it's a terrible idea if the story requires the audience to at least be somewhat invested in Tamako as a character for the scenario to work. There's no real reason to focus on something which means nothing whatosever to the audience. It becomes hollow and boring. It's not just the execution of the material, but the decision to build episodes around something this weak.

Dam pigs!
Because you're better off overlooking my posts.
I did say I was only teasing.
電波女? At first I thought you meant 電波的な彼女. I really wanted that to be picked up as an 1-cour.
Didn't they adapt virtually the entire thing in the OVA? There wouldn't have been enough material to justify remaking the whole thing.
(for people not kanji-literate Mitsuho is talking about Denpateki-na Kanojo, an OVA from 2009)

About all we really have learned about her is that she loves mochi because of her mother, wants her father to try new things with mochi, and has a song stuck in her head that she wants to learn about, which we were basically given in the first episode. The only thing we've really learned beyond that since then is that she's clueless about the feelings the people around her have for her and others.
Of course, I still haven't seen episode 5 yet. I mean, I love the characters, but her as the lead is pretty boring.
Mm, I guess that's true too. What I meant was that the story is still being told about how Tamako "opens doors" for others, but it's just not executed that well because they did a poor job making Mochizou, Midori, and whatever potential struggle they have interesting to the viewer.
Mitsuho, stop using Japanese on NeoGAF. It doesn't make you look smart, it doesn't make you cool, it just makes it harder for regular people to talk to you. Which could also annoy them. This is not some hippy foreign language message board, it is an English videogame forum. Thanks.
You're the best!

This episode was alright, I'd say it had too much Kyolo suffering. At least next week we get lots of imoutos.

You fell off the path of the righteous long ago. You can't even identify what's real anymore!
please dont hype valvrave and Ginga Kikoutai: Majestic Prince
Don't worry, those aren't going to need anyone's help to crash and burn.
Kyolo suffering is harsh. I felt really bad for him by episode 3, and orange loli crying didn't make it any better.

Laying down the law! BAM!
Just saying what people have been thinking for a while now. While it started out as "kinda cute" for those of us who could read it, it's turning into a self-parody now. Better to terminate it before it turns into a bad joke.
It's already a bad joke. And I'm bad with jokes...
Nonoriri (our true Nonoriri) would be another 'bro' from there... if only he still posted around here... :-(
Nonoriri, as a new incentive for you; in a couple of weeks I'll send you images from something by "SIUMAI" that I'm sure you will like!
Yep, it was an intended reference to that film all along. I don't know what it was present on the actual stage from the Young Ace magazine serialization, and as they sometimes change... things (be advised; explicit content ahead), I'm not sure if it figured the same text on it, but seeing the publishing dates of the 'Volume 6' by Kadokawa Shoten I have right now on my hands shows the compilation was made from 'STAGE.34' (the one in question) to 'STAGE.40' serialized through December, 1999 to March-April, 2000 and July-November, 2000 (初岀／『月刊少年エース』´99年 12月 号、´00年 2〜4月 号、7〜11月 号
... fact which also hints at how much faster Mr. Sadamoto was pumping out these at that time!The first edition release of the volume was out on December 15, 2000 (2000 年 12 月 15日 初版發行

while mine is the 30th one, heh.
Ha, ha! No need to apologize... it was a comment made tongue-in-cheek, my pal.

It was better when imouto wasn't here.
Hmm, I still wanted to know more about the world and such. The dark tones reminded me of Boogiepop.
And subject all of you to hebon-shiki versus nihon-shiki arguments? Personal preference is hepburn with kanji as initial letter capitalized, particles as all lower-case, and katakana as all caps. Always been kinda embarrassed admit to never figuring out the alt+ thing for putting the bar over long vowels. Edit: Anyone good at it? I'm using Win7 and Google IME in direct input mode.

Here's a truly sad story. I had totally missed this post because I haven't been reading the thread as regularly lately. But because of his Japanese posting, I got curious and decided to check his post history to see how annoying it actually was, and saw that. Poor junior member.
I think you're taking that quote out of context there, but whatever. He probably should have put a disclaimer in the post.
So, the ban is permanent then? I think Mitsuho wasn't serious with that, it was only a way of talking referring to the topic they were commenting about at that moment. Most probably it was a 4Chan "impression", as kayos90 aptly says below that post.Here's a truly sad story.

I was thinking more along the lines of "cheeky cheek" but sure that works too.
What would that mean?!
The lesson to draw here is to keep a low profile especially as a junior. If you don't, your past sins will also be exposed.Here's a truly sad story.

It would have been a ban regardless with the recent GAF rules.
People who want to make 4chan impressions on NeoGAF are the first to be banned.
