“Don’t mess with the Video Research Club! 06
Sumito Owara
I can’t take my eyes off the Video Research Club!
The following includes spoilers and my thoughts on it!
‘To not meddle with the Video Research Club!’
To think that this line would come from the secretary! Is this the origin of the title? Does this imply that the Video Research Club is an inviolable entity?
It seems that the secretary is acting with the school’s best interests at heart! But if the Video Research Club is shut down, wouldn’t we be back to square one? Hmm, weighing external pressure against the school environment, did she choose the latter because there’s no external pressure?
Is the secretary gradually letting her guard down around the Video Research Club? Is it simply because they’ve created an ideal environment that she cares? Right now, it’s hard to say she’s an ally, but perhaps she’ll fully become one in time?
The main story of Machete! Indeed, what was made before felt like a trailer! This is exciting!
Voice actors? Oh, that was from… No, that was a setting in the anime version… I might be getting things mixed up…
Oh, Asakusa seems a bit more grown-up? No, just not caricatured? A non-caricatured Asakusa feels refreshing!
Hmm? The subjects of the test results are all over the place, aren’t they? Is it a choice system? Since everyone is taking modern literature, English BⅡ, and biology, are these mandatory subjects? Are the others elective? With basic business and political economics as options, does that mean the one on the right is Kanamori? Asakusa, who mentioned retakes, is in the middle, right? By process of elimination, does that make Mizusaki the one on the far right? Mizusaki has high average scores! Except for failing marks, Asakusa scores 100 points! Their likes and dislikes in subjects are clear, lol. Kanamori scores barely passing marks of 30 points; surely, that’s not on purpose…?
Ah, to truly become the world’s best director! Wouldn’t it be something if the Video Research Club’s anime caught this director’s eye, sparking even more conversation? That would make the Video Research Club even more famous! And then, getting external production requests and collaboration could lead to even more amazing anime… That sounds like an exciting development!
Swiping a student ID to use the bulletin board…? What a convenient system! Shibahama High is an amazing school!
I laughed at Kanamori’s “Shut up, stupid teacher.” Kanamori is incredibly free-spirited, lol. But, I wonder if this could cause issues… No, Kanamori doesn’t seem to use polite language with teachers either…
Domiki is amazing! Being able to distinguish Sakura’s impersonations! This might be Sakura’s natural enemy…
The student council is too free-spirited, lol. Using a truck charge as a knock substitute? No, they could have just entered normally, right…?
They really had to write ten thousand apology letters…? Ten thousand words I get, but ten thousand pages…? Is there even that much to write about…? And, if it’s ten thousand pages, how many novels would that be? Assuming 300 pages make a novel, 10,000 / 300 = 33.3333… That’s like 33 volumes? A mega-series, lol. No wonder Sakura looks so worn out, lol.
Is Sakura aiming to be a novelist? Hmm, maybe Sakura will get involved not just in voice acting but also in storytelling? Or maybe handle the novelization of the anime created by the Video Research Club?
Oh, the secretary actually went through the ten thousand pages of reflection…? Reading a mega-series equivalent of 33 novels must be quite the task, right? Ah, and on a closer look, without proper paragraphing and just densely packed text? The actual number of words might be much more than 33 novels’ worth… It could take months to review…
