TV / Radio HKT48 vs. NGT48 Sashikita Gassen / HKT48 x NGT48 Tabeshoujo (2016/01/11 - 2016/03/28)

NGT is down to no TV shows, and HKT is down to one and a monthly HKT Variety 48. Both definitely could use more TV. But this past season has been rough for 48 group shows getting the axe

 

Conventional TV timeslot, yes. AKB leverage soft power is draining. I'll just wish both NGT/HKT have ample net show to compensate.

 

AKB = AKBingo
SKE = 0 shows
NMB = Manabukun
HKT = Odekake, Variety (once a month)
NGT = 0 shows

Just a few months ago, there were three times as many 48g shows to watch.

 

didnt SKE48 still got SKE48 Zero Position ?

 

Yes.

And AKB still has Nemousu TV. And there is that upcoming romance drama thing that will feature members from each J48 group.

 

they still have AKB48 Kanko Taishi (monthly) and AKB48 show (weekly)

 

I thought Zero Position was cancelled, and wasn't it a once a month show?

 

SKE Gakuen, Zero Position still run. Also if you consider SKE no Hatsunori(monthly) as well
AKB still have Nemousu running for now and if you consider Andare alive. Also AKBshow and Kanko Taishi(This 2 can be excluded as 48G show)
lol at NMB only Manabukun. Their Kawaiian TV and YNN channel beg to differ.
NGT will have one-time appearance on Andare soon. Not truly zero

No, zeroposition didn't cancelled. They only switched the MC from Dasu-Tsuma-Tani to (Ouch that's a spoiler). Zeroposition is Biweekly.

 

I thought Kawaiian and YNN were webshows, not actual TV shows.

 

While it's right, the line between them is getting blurred, apart from where it is aired.
SasshiKita Gassen is also aired on Hulu, which technically make it a webshow as well.

A matter of half-filled glass of water, I suppose.

 

SasshiKita Gassen is a TV show. Tabeshoujo is the web show. Two related, yet still different shows.

 

Part of Tabeshoujo is included in the TV release of Sasshikita Gassen. If only I can define it as direct as you are.

p.s. Gotta wait Ebi series for another 3 month, I suppose. Since Nogibingo 6 aired right after this show

edit: I forget review

Spoiler: Eps. 12

First game, first round. Mahohon are considered sucks at sport, equal to Sakura. New fact, eh?
Second round, battle of Oddball. Wish I understand what Vivian/Okappa said
Third round, self-explaining. That Shige cuss though

Too bad that Tamaire got skipped. But yeah, too much incident-too few entertainment.

Third game, lol this show running out of idea. Janken as finale climax

 

That is called a preview. Meant to drive traffic to the full web show.

 

About @Rurouni said and the show itself, in the last Tabeshoujo, Sasshi said it, important people had said it to her face that they will not care about HKT if she isn't here, and that has became a weight to her, and had being delaying her graduation for that.

 

NGT vs. HKT was tons of fun. I am really glad that Murashige was added from the 4th episode onward, as much as her antics might sometimes grate on the other members-- we kind of needed that to make a good show. On the other hand, I also wouldn't have minded if she wasn't in every episode from 4th onward if it meant we could have seen a few more members of both HKT and NGT or at least shuffle the line-up of the 8 who appeared on the show.
I am glad to now know a few NGT members. Kato, Takakura and Yamada really stood out. I think Moe is now my favorite NGT member.

In fact, the main criticism I would have was that I would have liked to see a lot more interaction between the two teams. Too many of the games involved the girls taking turns doing something alone. The best interaction on the show was between Yamada and Tomonaga. But, really, that kind of made me dislike Tomonaga when I used to like her a lot more-- given that she always seemed like a girl who enjoyed getting picked on or dressed up or used as a prop because it meant that she got to participate in the activity and get personal attention from the other girls.... I never thought she would act so conceited and disgusted with it being pointed out that Yamada and her look a lot alike.... but Mio was forced to admit it in the end.

But a lot more personal banter and physical interaction would have been more fun than a lot of the activities we got.

 

you know that it's scripted, right?

Mio and Noe are in good terms, taking pictures on G+ together.

 

Well only DVD making and BTS will compliment that.

 

Well as Gocchi said, and obviously a fact lol, it is scripted. I still remember Harugon said it was easier for her to be in Indonesian variety show because it has no script at all compared to the Japanese counterpart.

 

^You will dislike many things from Japanese variety show, then.
