The morning after watching the first episode, I awoke to find a small, perfectly circular hole in the side of my tooth. Now, it could be a cavity. It probably is a cavity. Nonetheless it scared the shit out of me.
I want nothing other than for Shun to be happy. I feel a lot of how he interacts with the world. When Dai tells him he wants him to be more expressive, but all Shun can do is hum and nod, because he's trying the best he can, because the world is different for him... Damn. I never thought I'd be able to hear my exact experience in words. Growing up without parental love, even the abnormal kind... you're the black sheep in a field of white.
Phum’s sudden wave of sadness (and jealousy), sitting around a table full of friends and family, excitedly chattering away, something he’s never experienced… really hit me. Phum carries a considerable weight with him everywhere he goes, more than even his own brother knows. He’s that kind of quiet person, gallivanting in his own melancholy until it magically fades away. But it’ll always be there, just like how every time he sits at a table, he’ll acknowledge the fact that it was what he could of had. But was never able to get.
And beyond everything else, friendship single-handedly weaves this series together. Before falling in love, everyone was friends. They’re still friends, they’re making more friends. They’re holding onto each other in their youth.
Wow. Can't believe it's been two years... we need Kura Yuki as a sad, repressed gay boy again (for a... third time!). Where is he when we need him most?!?! lol.
Wow, the trailer is really captivating. Outside of being a dating show, I'm excited to see people come together that have faced the same struggles and being able to understand each other's experiences. I think that extended comfort of knowing someone similar to you is out there, and you're not alone, is really going to get to me with this one. Lol
What's new, everyone in the MDL comment section has nothing but negative notes for the airing show. Well, that's a given. Let's ignore it!
I'm loving it.
The severity of just... not being able to say what you want is found so well in this show. Humans want, and they need, but they're skittish and scared of ruining other people with their adoration. Hayama loves acting because Shirasaki was the first person to love him for his acting. The first time someone saw him beyond his physical appearance (to the point, even his friends had no idea who he really was). They're both denying themselves what they really want, with the idea that the other is better off not knowing... that this is some kind of fantastical, too-good-to-be-true storytelling.
ALSO! Also! Also! I just will never get over the music, the lighting, the obvious directing choices that are saying, 'hey, look a this, we're trying to say something here.' The vivid difference between how Shirasaki and Hayama act with each other (as real people), compared to how the characters in their drama are. The drama characters aren't real people, so they're moving forward at a different pace.
Like, God, the difference between Shirasaki and Hayama (trying to) sleep together and the scene they filmed for their drama? The choice of camera angles? The darkened room, a warm orange light, hiding them in the shroud of the night, as compared to the brightness of the bedroom in the shooting? Stationary, us watching from faraway as everything is carried on without words, sudden desire that the either of them can't hold back anymore.
This show did something different, I believe, and I am going to enjoy it until the end.
Through every adaptation, I will continue loving Golden Kamuy. It's more than an action-packed war story, it has the very core of human nature intertwined. Love and humanity are stored inside of dried persimmons, just wait and see. No matter the terror, each character has their own reasons. With Golden Kamuy, the truth revels after total acceptance.
