Private Notes
This hour-long special episode aired between the two season, and includes a section called the "Tokyo Encounter Big Chronology" which explores the lives of the two hosts since birth all the way to the current day. Look forward to twice the amount of games, twice the dirty jokes, twice the ludicrous box challenges, and a message from a very special guest to top it all off!
In the pilot, Sugita is so excited he's literally jumping up and down, and it takes all of Nakamura's effort just to keep up with him, but after being made to reveal what game girls they would like to have as girlfriends, Sugita decides to never answer a question honestly again.
This episode features Mini Zombies, a version of King of Fighters with no fighting and populated almost exclusively by Mafia Kajita, and shows that the writers for SNK games are quite possibly trolls.
In this episode: we see the boys' skills in wooing digital girls, and learn what it is they really like about each other.
In this episode, Sugita seems to believe that Nakamura could actually damage the wall of their pretend house with his bare hands in his rage (I wouldn't take the risk either!), Sugita attempts to make himself an enemy of Sega, and the staff decides to test the strength of the pair's mental link.
In this episode: a very noisy game of Left 4 Dead 2, Nakamura falls off the stage in every game in which it is physically possible, and Sugita reflects on Nakamura's short-lived compassion towards him during the last zombie apocalypse.
In this episode: What Yuutan really thinks of his hosts, the MOST ANNOYING PS1 game of all time, and Sugita and U1's incredibly impressive game of charades.
In this episode: the boys remember their middle school days, Sugita encourages Sakupyon to approach a wild animal, with bad results; and the three try out their impersonations of a famous sempai.
In this episode, Sakupyon and U1 make it their mission to kill Sugita in Saints Row, even when that's not the objective; the three swear a lot while playing a futuristic 90s racing game, and I am amazed by Sugita's ability to remember slogans over 50 years old.
In this episode, guest Okiayu-san loses at fighter games, but wins at starring in fighter games; Sugita comes up with some very creative (and psycotic) solutions to scenarios in Okki-san's life, and at least one staff member REALLY enjoys their game of musical chairs.
In this episode, Yuukyan clearly enjoys seeing other people lose at video games, Sugita is constantly berated by his husbando for making jokes, and Okki-san politely accepts the foolishness going on around him.
In this episode, Sugita shows he knows how to talk to girls by coming up behind them and yelling really loud, Nakamura refuses to admit he didn't win even when it's a tie, and the girls prove themselves better conversation partners than they are players.
In this episode, the girls try a game they could never beat when they were kids, the four do their summer homework assignments, and Sugita shows even more of his skills dealing with girls by telling them disgusting stories while Nakamura just becomes increasingly mean to them the more he loses. Also included in this ep, the boys play their classic game of "te-oshi", wherein Sugita tries to show his partner all of his skillful "hand-push" techniques, but unfortunately for him, Nakamura would probably just push him down the stairs if he thought that was the way to win.
In this episode, guest Shimono-san (as always) finds himself in the position of being abused by his hosts, the three reflect on becoming middle-aged, and Sugita examines their guest to learn how a "normal" 30-year-old danshi seiyuu spends his life.
In this episode's Yuukyan has trouble admitting he's lost the challenges, and the pair and their guest have a quiet, pleasant conversation, the subject of which turns to kancho.
In this episode, guest Yuuki-san maintains the high level of sophistication and politeness for which the show is known, Yuukyan's rage helps him play Mario Party for the first time ever, and Sugita seems to have trouble knowing what to do with himself next to their cute young guest.
In this episode, the hosts feel increasingly old next to their absurdly young guest, Sugita blows his chance to win the challenge; and the three play Left 4 Dead in an even noisier fashion than the last time they played it.
Without any guests in this episode, the two hosts have to tease each other directly; Yuukyan has trouble letting anyone else touch his Saint Seiya toys, and Sugita very subtly criticises America while they play a game that very loudly criticizes America.
In this episode, the boys play a baseball game with very little baseball in it, and Sugita subjects Nakamura to a game focused on the deeply complex and difficult relationships between young men and women – that is, another dating sim.
The boys play a game with Sugita's personal memory card, before using which one should probably sign a waver of some kind, and cram more obscure references into 25mins than AT-X could do in 25 years of quality programming.
In this episode Sugita, to no one’s surprise, brings up both Naoji and Cousin Kazuyuki, while Nakamura gets waaay too into a game that surely does not deserve as much of his energy.
In this episode, Sugita makes a phone call to himself (as one does), Nakamura continues to refine his “grumpy-happy” expression, and the pair exposes guest Eguchi Takuya to enough musclemen in thongs to probably traumatize him for life.
In this episode, Nakamura finally actually has a reason to be angry that he didn’t win, the box challenges are even more obscure, and guest Eguchi easily keeps up with his hosts, which is an accomplishment, of sorts.
In this episode, the hosts continue their streak of traumatising guests, this time with Mizuki Nana as their victim, as they tease her mercilessly for being talented and successful – but they do make up for it by helping her come up with some new, if only slightly obscene, lyrics for her music.
In this last episode of season one, guest Mizuki Nana continues to get teased as they play a game that requires the three of them to get particularly close to each other, and then the boys test their listening skills, and pick some new video game waifus.
In this episode, the hosts explore what their lives would be like in an alternate universe where they had made different career choices (and were made of pixels), they attempt to explore the history of their favourite genre of games, and then become heroes.
Guest Sakurai Takahiro returns for more punishment in this episode, so the three players flop around in Little Big Planet, and play an arcade game that allows Sugita to showcase his...hidden moveset.
In Sakurai's second episode, literally everything works out perfectly for Nakamura, there’s a come-from-behind win, and it turns out that games that seemed standard when you were seven years old may not be so easy to play when you’re 35.
In this episode, guest Miyano Mamoru comes home to visit the group of weirdos with TV cameras squatting in his house, the three play a party game that would be just too depressing with just two, and they manage to get some decent gaming done despite laughing their heads off the entire time.
In his second episode, guest Mamo shows off his comedy skills, dazzles his two hosts at the Hot-blooded sports festival, and then sics piranhas on them to clinch his victory.
