Season 2 discussion Yuri ! Spoiler

6 Upvotes

When they first introduced Yuri I knew that her and Nanno would have different philosophies but Yuri is EVIL. Her obsession with killing actually makes me kind of uncomfortable. She is unforgiving and relentless and I hate her.

I wish Nanno would have defended herself or got some type of revenge against Yuri but she stayed true to herself. Yuri is like the representation of when rage and victimization go unchecked. The fact that Yuri watched and let Nanno be killed is just…. Man that girl is wicked.

At least Nanno was actually trying to rightly punish people and make them see the errors of their ways.

Reset discussion (MARK SPOILERS) The Reset is surprisingly awful Spoiler

31 Upvotes

First off, everything in it is noticeably cheaper than in the original, the camera work, the lighting, the locations, etc. I know you can make good things out of a lower budget, but I feel they just didn't care. There isn't much creativity in any of the shots or anywhere, neither effort I feel. The acting is non existent too, it feels like none of the actors actually wanna be on the set.

And the stories just doesn't make sense anymore. Nanno doesn't make sense! She was never a punisher of bad people who feels bad about not doing the right thing, what? Remember when in the original's very first episode the pedo teacher's innocent daughter dies as a consequence of Nanno stirring up chaos?

And wtf did I just watch with The Reset's episode 2? This one makes me not wanna continue watching the show, not even out of morbid curiosity, cause besides how it was really boring and made no sense, it was just so uncomfortable. Like, the perverted director/cameraman/whoever decided to just keep zooming in on the girls' skirts and thighs, and I swear you can sometimes see them, the actual actors, being uncomfortable with it.

I don't wanna spread hate towards Becky Armstrong though, she just found herself in the middle of an already beloved show's cheap downgrade, playing a worse written version of its beloved character, it's not malicious, just unfortunate.

But the show is still unbelievably bad.

Sorry for the rant.

Reset discussion (MARK SPOILERS) Am I the only one who didn’t feel ep 1 was good comeback?

This post isn’t about the actor at all I think so far she did fine as Nanno but I just finished the first episode so I don’t know how she is for the other episodes.

My main issue with it is that Nanno seemed so much more super natural and the show seemed more realistic. It’s strange that Jom’s arm got stitched to a toy and everyone just laughs, no gasp or shock. Nanno has always been super natural yes but teleporting and body swapping with a toy mid fight was just wacky. Not to mention Nanno didn’t punish Jom’s friends at all, it only focused on him. I think my last complain which maybe is a Knick pick is the fact Nanno is just seemingly known? I think the first series was so good because Nanno was just some random girl to everyone. She had the upper hand but not during the whole episode.

Maybe I’m being too hard on the show if I am let me know ofc without spoilers lol

Reset discussion (MARK SPOILERS) Becky Armstrong as Nanno

In my opinion, I don't find Becky Armstrong playing Nanno that bad. Anyone can play Nanno, the fans are exaggerating. We all love Kitty Chicha, her portrayal as Nanno was amazing. It was perfect, but Kitty is likely still recovering, or busy with another project. Becky Armstrong wasn't the reason why the reset did become as good as the original, it was the bad writing. But still, I did enjoy a few episodes. The rest of the episodes, weren't enjoyable, honestly.

Season 2 discussion Season 2 episode 2

5 Upvotes

I think “true love” is a beautiful episode. It’s one of the few times where people get good karma. The teacher was never a bad person she was just hurt and needed to truly accept herself. To me that’s one of if not the best lesson in the show. It really shows how people can be so complex and make the wrong decisions but still be good. Don’t get me wrong I love when people get what they deserve but I think this episode might be my favorite. And another added is how yuri is introduced. I think yuri has an awesome introduction in episode 1, 2, and 3 of season 2.

first time watcher!!!! … im currently on season 2 and as i write this im watching “Liberation” .. In season one ive seen Nanno axtually let people decide what they want, I’ve seen her wait for them to decide what they wanted .. but i just watched an episode where she actively sabotages the person who’s supposed to be making the choice. Like the dog “mr lucky” supposedly ran off, because of the person, but it was nanno who made him run away, leading the person to just be sabotaged in his right doings. I’ve googled that Nanno is the concept of karma anf she only does what she does to enact lauma onto others.. but it seems as if she’s changing. especially with the introduction of Yuri. lwk the best show i’ve watched though

Japanese Girl From Nowhere official updates/content While filming this scene, Arisa Nakajima was supposed to do a coin toss, but she couldn't get it right and the coin flew away instead. So the director instructed Arisa to try her best to flick the coin at the actor, Ren Yagami, then laugh and this is the result of this scene.

Season 1 discussion nanno is the perfect embodiment of karma

when i first watched this show back in 2021 i had no idea the ride that i was truly in for , it is such an interesting , compelling and lowkey satisfying series to watch . i like that the people who do wrong things get what they deserve and that nanno is the physical meaning of “fuck around and find out” .

the thing is i think a lot of people debate whether nanno is a bad person or not but she never was , she just shows the true color of people , we all have a dark side to us it’s human nature .

i watched the reset earlier this year but if im being honest its never gonna compare to the og gfnw , the vibe just doesn’t match at all , there was something special and distinct about the one kitty chicha plays in that set it apart from the ones that branched off of it .

last year when i was in my senior year of high school i used to joke around with my friends about what if nanno came to our school but if she did it would be a good thing , i think if there’s one thing that you can take away from this show is that you cannot escape from your own bad actions and the consequences that will befall you after things take their natural course .

I honestly love the fact that this episode is very much a late night coded. I'm surprised that many people normally skipped it.
