you start a kdrama & you think sure, a lighthearted credits sequence for a rom-com. then 14 episodes later this cute cartoon sequence plays in between a murder & an explosion.
@emotionallychargedtowel described the new opening song as being bay city rollers-ish and yep, bingo.
i don't think i've seen anyone post the video itself yet but once again zettai bl proving its utter unseriousness by committing to a bit for the latest OP
I'm less interested in what people think vis-à-vis the term high heat than in the reasons for their choice, in where they think the line is.
Also, is effectiveness a factor? After all, we're talking about what's suggestive so if you do a poor job convincing me then it's not going to register as strongly.
As for OF I personally wouldn't use either term without greater detail. I'd put it in the middle or more likely use qualifiers. Clearly they were going for higher heat by their standards & there were concrete differences from most GMMTV shows. But the results were of pretty mixed success.
“only friends is not high heat” is a BOLD claim. that series was one step down from porn
With all due respect, I think you need to watch better porn 😂
I’ve been doing a Zenkaiger rewatch while I take screenshots for my Stacey-themed side blog (@demonprincesuteishi) and sometimes there are shots of Mashiko Atsuki’s character, Zox Goldtsuiker* that I can't resist grabbing as well. I know Mashiko has lots of fans on here, many of them MPW fans who aren't familiar with his role on Zenkaiger, so I thought I'd post some highlights.
The one above is from a favorite scene of mine, from the Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger vs. Kiramager vs. Sentaiger movie. It's Zox and Captain Marvelous from Gokaiger being pirates together, featuring a truly sublime finger-gun.
About to face a nemesis in the rain; wearing his Rudolph hat and big sparkly bow tie for Christmas; when a magical kotatsu turned him into a cat
When he was the King of Kashiwa Mochi; pissed off about a tennis game; when Stacey tried to get him to betray Kaito
Being a naughty schoolboy with his sister; eating a little sausage; the evil bizarro version of Zox who went around besmirching his name (you can tell he's evil because he has beautiful eyeliner wings)
Staring down an impostor; when he turned into a yankii stereotype with a mullet; doing his "huh"/"wow" face
In conclusion, if you haven't already, you should watch Zenkaiger. Mashiko Atsuki is excellent in it.
*Character names get romanized in a lot of different ways in tokusatsu because show creators make up names that don't match up with any real type of name in any language or culture. So Zox is sometimes romanized as Zocks, and his family name can be Goldtsuiker or Goldtweaker (I think I saw a third romanization somewhere as well).
