Everyday Host Opening 8 Bit Remix - えぶりでいホスト

this song hits the same as amazing break from terraformars for me, where that shit just slaps you in the fuckin' face with balls-to-the-walls insanity from front-to-back. two VERY different series, lol, but, by some miracle, that kind of frantic energy fits both fucking perfectly. really fun track to transcribe, this was.
a friend on the internet showed me this show a couple weeks back (if you're watching this, what's up lol) and i found it to be pretty funny. this kind of thing is usually cut off by my manly-anime-horse-blinders, but everything else that i've been shown has been super fuckin' cool, so i had trust that this'd be fun, too. so then we watched like, nearly every episode, and it was fucking great AND THEN my computer fucking blew up because it has been hot as shit here and the internet went out FUCK so i just had to watch the rest on my own time.
it was a damn good series of shorts. i dunno if i can reccommend it in the same way i'd reccomend any other anime that i have in the past - especially because it is not at all consistent with my established taste - but i found it to be consistently quite funny. every episode is like, three minutes long, so it's not like you'd be sinking a ton of effort in if you wanted to give it a shot.
everyday host is ostensibly about a normal guy who gets a job at an host club in kabukicho. this is not true: everyday host is actually about a quartet of blithering idiots navigating the working enviornments of host culture, dealing with clients, dealing with inter-club politics, so on and so on. every single person save the normal guy is comically eccentric; often depicted as host-culture stereotypes cranked to the fuckin' insane extreme, and they're all pretty funny in their own ways. even then, the normal guy - dude named hajime - is often cranked to the extreme of the "kinda timid office worker"-type, which is always fun. the main quartet work well in every scenario; they can play off each and other's comedic traits really well regardless of whether or not they're all present - and i'd actually say that they're at their best when put into 1-on-1 scenarios.
my favorite is koichi, which is probably a lame answer. he's the guy with the pink hair who runs club one. he is also canonically in his mid-40s.
y'know, now that i mention him by name, i just realized remember the names of all of the main guys (plus the kuidaore and trillion guys) off the top of my head save for the fucking dude with the "HAPPEY" tattoo, who i kept calling "joey wheeler from yugioh" while watching. i just never paid attention to his actual name because of that. ryo-something? i think that's close? i don't want to be an asshole and look it up, but maybe i'll remember by the end of this description.
it's the kind of show that is somewhat hard to talk about because of its form, 'cause, like i said, it's basically just a bunch of short comedic vignettes that (for better or worse - 'cause there were sometimes that i found myself going: 'man, that bit could have done more with the premise, i was enjoying that bit' after an episode just abruptly cuts) use the personality quirks of the subject(s) of an episode to put together a short gag. you'll know if it's for you or not by the third episode, after which you'll have only spent like nine minutes watching it. i can't convince you that it is good one way or the other, because your mileage of any comedy show will vary based on what you find funny.
i dunno, moral of the story: give things that you wouldn't usually a shot, 'cause maybe they'll be damn good. i'm something of a sperg, and not usually very good at doing that kind of thing unless prompted directly to do so, 'cause i get far too comfortable with what i already know i like to the point where the prospect of seeing new things isn't as appealing because of the risk factor of potentially wasting my time. it would seem that such a mindset has been to my detriment (welcome to yet another episode of 'eggo76 learns that he's an autistic asshole and confronts the fact that he should probably at least try to stop being as much of an autistic asshole because it is emperically bad'). scary that i've only just noticed the whole "getting too comfortable with familiarity"-thing as an issue recently. i realized it far too late to have had the chance to apply it to the real-life seasons that have just passed me by without much fanfare, likely due entirely to me being a sperg. anyways, i guess the fact that i should try and be more open to things is evidenced by the fact that i now like everyday host - which i never would have seen had i not been shown it - so maybe my horizons can expand, lmao. people have recommended so much shit to me over the years that i can hardly remember all of it, but i should really start getting around to giving it all an honest try.
still don't remember the name of the joey wheeler guy btw
have a wonderful day, gentlemen. god bless.
