Aiba Manabu ~ 相葉マナブ Epi 021

I want to do Epi 19 too but it'll take too much time, same reason as the mamachari episode. They throw in lots of superstitions in that episode. You'll recognize some of them if you've watched anime like XXXholic XD. Okay, enough about the previous episode, let's talk about Epi 21. Wait, what about Epi 20 then? Hmm... oh yeah, it's basically just to show that Japan does survey on literally everything by perfecture. Not that it's informative, but it's literally just information overflow. Whoever did the structure of that episode choose a really bad topic, no, it's a good topic but presentation is very bad, that's all. Epi 21? We're back with everybody's favorite, Epi 18 part 2! This time they try to squeeze in more, they have 7 techniques to make your live easier... I don't get the tendency to make the episode to be information overload, I'd think they should just stick with 4 or 5 and make the scenarios or experiment longer, or better still, MAKE AIBA-CHAN TALK LONGER! Seriously, it used to be 2 members for this kinds of segment but now they have 3? In a small room, 30 min length show, it's too many! You'll notice that Aiba-chan speaks lesser and lesser in the last 3 episodes and those comedians speaks louder and louder. I'm already worried over Aiba-chan getting quieter in VSA and Anishi and now this? For goodness sake, it's Aiba-chan's show, he needs to be in the center and speaks more, like what he does on the first few episodes. Seeing Aiba-chan talk less and only smile politely alarms me. At the very least, he LOL-ed quite a lot in this episode so it doesn't look so bad, but if you notice, he does talk lesser.

( Pretties... though he speaks lesser :(... )

But if you watch Tensai Shimura Doubutsuen 7th Sep episode, Aiba-chan looked so genki and hyper on his own segment. He talked A LOT and laughed A LOT as well... and he looked so relax there. Perhaps he's been in TSD for almost to (?) or more than (?) 10 years that it's like being at home, whereas in other shows... he can rely on Sho-chan & Matsujun to cover him on VS and Anishi and Manabu is quite new for him... I don't know... perhaps this will change, it's just a phase... we'll see... 頑張れ相葉ちゃん!
