Osomatsu San Sakura - Blog Posts

God he was so emotional in this episode I was thought he might cry, but I’m kinda glad he didn’t One of my favorite things about Osomatsu San is that the drama in the show relies heavily on visual cues and subtext It’s honestly one of my biggest cinematic pet peeves when a show outright says what a character is thinking- because the point f a visual story is to convey it visually And that is one of the greatest strengths of Osomatsu San as a show, that and it’s characterization is fantastic Other characters in the show have been known to cry, and it’s impactful when they do And I thought for the longest time it would be so cool to see Oso cry But the show has taught me that that’s not who he is, he doesn’t cry under pressure, he just shuts down And yet, knowing that him, when he sits there on that bench, loosing his mind, it’s some how a thousand times more unnerving than it could’ve ever been if he had cried
