Majisuka Gakuen 4 - Episode 1

With this being my first post in 2015, and aloso because I really love Majisuka Gakuen, I thought I should give it a try and review the first episode of the brand new Majisuka Gakuen 4.



The first time I heared that Aki-P decided to make a new Majisuka I was really excited. Who wasn't after waiting for two years for this Serial. However my exitement quickly faded away when I heard that it would be almost like Majisuka 1. Nothing against the first season but I have to say that this one wasn't my favourite. And furthermore hearing that Sakura would have one of the lead roles let my
excitement fade even quicker.

However let's move on to the Drama's story.



Like I said it's -or will be- similar to Majisuka Gakuen 1. Which means we will have a transfer student (Miyawaki Sakura) who transfered to Majisuka All Girls' School (Majisuka Jyogakuen). And since Majijo is a well known Yankee (Deliquent) school, all of us know what will happen there.
So Sakura's reason she came from Kagoshima to Tokyo (I guess Majijo is in Tokyo, unfortunately I never found if it is set in Tokyo) is to take Majijo's top, meaning to be Rappapa's new President. However the current president Salt (Shimazaki Haruka) and her four heavenly Queens -or Shitennou- Otabe (Yokoyama Yui) -yes THE Otabe-, Bakamono (Kawaei Rina), Yoga (Iriyama Anna) and Magic (Kizaki Yuria) are there to prevent that. I mean come on, the only way to be Rapappa's president is to beat up the old Rappapa, and if I were one of those, I also didn't want to get beaten up. And of course on her way to beat the top, Sakura will meet a lot of opponents who will later become her friends. E.g. Team Hinabe, it's the same like Team Hormone (green) and Team Fondue (yellow) just in red -now we have an intersection light   щ(゚Д゚щ). Later more about the two groups.

Here is a list for Majijo's students.





Oh and I almost forgot Minami (Takahashi Minami) who will again appear in the Majisuka series. And again she will play some random character with not that much screentime -although her new character will have more than her other two. So just like the chart explains Takamina will play the role of a Diner Owner and Majijo graduate of the Diner "Asobina" (Oshokujidokoro Asobina). She also will be Sakura's teacher, teaching her about frienship and giving her advices.

Of course there will also be the dark side, the new Enemys of Majijo. The students of Gekioko High School-Nursing Course. Yes, my dear readers, you read right Nursing Course. So my first thought on that was "Really Nurse? What kind of fetish is this?" -or something like this :'D.
However this group seemed to be interesting because the president is no other than Antonio
Inoki(Yamamoto Sayaka) and her vice Kobii (Watanabe Miyuki). Finally NMB is also taking part in the Majisuka universe.
There are also three other member of the nursing school: Tsurishi (Suda Akari; quite accurate the name), KY (Tani Marika) and Zakoboss (Matsumura Kaori).
Like I said this group is quiet interesting since there aren't many informations about them, and I'm really interested in what their role is in this series.







But now let's move on to the actuall episode. And thank you Aidol for making subtitles for us. :D




So it's starts with a fight. And hey is that Karen? :D


Oh and Choyori is also there


Guess who is approaching?


"I tottally would visit that place again 10/10" - yeah sure...


Yeah, they totally look like high school girls.... or not..


"Go to Atami using the car's Satnav, old lady"
Sorry I forgot to add subs at this point.


I guess you know who that is.


Chiyori: "Dare?"
Karen: "I can't see at all"


Yup, it's Torigoya


And she defenitely stole Sado's  jacket and bleached it


Karen: "Na, my Suu-chan looks better."


Well you don't mess with a former Queen


Majijo Graduate Kojiharu
Guess that's her new name.


Harukaze
Pianissimo....


And suddenly Chiyori and Karen ahve dissapeared   ¿ⓧ_ⓧﮌ


You know, dark Uniform and white socks..... that's NG


"HAHAHAHA Gurl you so funny"


Smooth advertising there Nike


And here we have Team Hinabe (Hotpot)


With Uonome (Takahashi Juri)


Dodobusu (Kato Rena)


Kusogaki (Oshima Ryouka)


Jisedai (Mukaichi Mion)


Kenpou (Uchiyama Natsuki)


Wait, Nee-san? Who....


Oh hey. Look who is back from Hakata.


Hey well, at least she came first in the 2013 Sousenkyo


getting the hint?


Guess that will be the setting of Majisuka Gakuen 4.5


And now the all mighty Rappapa


No wonder, you are BKA48's Center.


Bakamono (Kawaei Rina)


Says the other idiot....




....the day after tomorrow....


Never knew Annin does Yoga, but well....


Yeah, my exact words when I don't remember a word in my native language


And yes! Otabe is back. She was like my favourite Character in MG2.
By the way she is the only one with the old dark collor.


The idiot has a point... I wonder, too


No, sorry. I don't.....   .__.


Whoa, the door has opened...


...and out came Salt. See those dark circles? Being a Yankee seems pretty hard.

idolyankeethings


Salt: "Shut the fu** up"


So Salt is not a morning person.


Eh... Staff-san? You made a mistake with those stickers


I wish I could have done the same in school... sleeping that is


I wouldn't call her a bitch, Sasshi. You know how it ends if you are against Rappapa.


Salt: "Out of my Way peasents."


Love this picture.


Kusogaki: "I don't care, I'll just sleep..."


NG


Sakura: "Looks like I can find many new friends here."



Who. Cares. ...



Sakura: "eh... Yea."


Nana: "I don't think so"


You can tottaly see that she is wearing contacts. :D


Like I said she is wearing contacts...


Really, where?



And again seeing the contacts .. :D


Guess who stole Nakamata's (MG2) Metal Balls


Woa, those bendy legs.... 


Meeting of the two opponents.


Sakura: "Damn, gurl..."


Why did they even styled her hair like Atsuko's....


I skip the intro. Although I really love the song.


Nurse?
Repeat after me!...


Nice try.


Wait Nao, you are the ones acting all cool ....


They look more like Power Rangers with those different coloured clothes (not the nurse outfit)


Yeah, exactly my thoughts.


Keicchi: "Henshin!"


Uonome: "Let's do the same. Henshin!"
Dodobusu: "But we are all wearing red..."


An the "worst Photoshopped School in a Drama" Award goes to....


Yea, because they all wore red while transforming
#redrangeristhestrongest


Yes! Milky.


Looks like she bit in a lemon


Man, Power Rangers were way cooler in the old days...


I mean come on, where are the explosions?


I would like some chapu-chapu instead...


Whoa, Milky that outfit....


ANTONIO
INOKI
By the way I love Sayaka's look here.


KY = Kuuki Yomenai (not being able to read the atmosphere)


Suitable name for Akari


♫ My Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun ♫


 Don't don't don't, my Anaconda don't...
Don't want none unless you got buns hun


Yeah, you should be for letting me remember Nikki Minaj's Anaconda -__-


Teppen Tottande!


Asobina, Asobina


Hey Takamina..... getting a random character again


Nice Eatser Egg in the Background. I would take Combo K-set :)


It would have been epic if Ucchi would be the Diner's chef :D


Ika de ii ka?


(Sorry coudn't understand that correctly.....)




Sakura: "What the Fu** meant the old lady?..."


The new Power Rangers. Power Rangers HotPot Squad


Shouldn't it be clear that Rappapa is at the top?



Said the Kusogaki...


Why do they have to copy Atsuko's "Maji da yo"?


We meet again my old enemy (the stop sign)


Hey how handy that there was an empty classroom right next to them.





the equivalence to Atsuko's glasses.


Kusogaki: "Why the hell...."


Jisedai: "Not impressed..."


Yeah, like you shouldn't underestimate Team Hormone or Team
CheeseFondue...
Come on you guys are weak...


Conveniant placed cardboardboxes are convenient..


Kusogaki: "Please don't hit me. Take someone else!!"


Watch out, we got a badass over here


Uonome: "Let's dance"


Party Hard


Party harder...



Dodobusu: "Why did we stop partying?"


Uonome: "Don't know."


Sakura: "Because I hate partys!"





Shalt thou solve this quest I will grant you acces to our sacred Hinabe!



Sakura: "I won't run! I want your quest rewards!"



One of the points I don't like....


I really love those blue extensions. Way better than the red ones in MG1.




Probably her motivation for coming to Majijo


Yes, because it's forbidden to run in schools ._.


I want those stickers...


Hiding behind Otabe because Salt wouldn't hurt her
#OtaSuru



Yoga: "Okay guys. Who farted?"


Magic: "Whoops..."




So that sums up the first Episode of Majisuka Gakuen 4.

So like I mentioned at the beginning I really love Majisuka Gakuen, with season 3 being my favourite. I just really loved the setting and characters.

However I really don't like that they practically just copied MG1 and made a new season with practically the same content. Meaning a transfer student wanting to overthrow the top.
Furthermore I really don't like Sakura's acting. Her voice is way too deep and she isn't really acting naturally. I mean AKB's acting isn't really good to start with but Sakura's is even worse. Might be the fact that she hadn't that much acting jobs but still..... I hope it will change as the drama continues. 
What really interests me is why Sakura really came to Majijo and why she wants to overthrow the top. There are some rumors appearing on the net that I find kind of plausible. But i guess we will get to know her reasons soon enough.

For now Rappapa is the group that interests me the most. First of because it has a lot of main characters from season 3 -and I still hope that those two seasons are somehow connectet. And I really wonder why Otabe is still one of Majojo's students. And if you didn't see it she is wearing a necklace which she also ware in the flashback scenes in MG2 -but didn't wore with her Majojo Uniform in MG2. I wonder why she is now wearing it again, and I actually have a theory for that. But thats part for another post.
Also the three remaining Queens seem to be pretty interesting since you really don't know anything about them beside their names.

Gekioko is the next group that spiked my interest. I mean why nurse? Maybe there is some more connection to MG1 and MG2. I hope so! Also I really like that now there are a few more NMB members getting roles, especially Sayanee and Milky, since I really like both of them. Although the names are really offensive -kind of. Furthermore you also don't know their story or why they want to fight Majijo. Okay, both are Yankee schools but why Majijo in particular?

I also love the fact that there are Camo appearances in MG4. Like Kojiharu, Sasshi and also a few others that were mentioned to appear.

All in all I really hope that they kind of change the direction of Majisuka Gakuen 4, I really don't want another MG1. And I'm really curious about the new Rappapa and what their story is.

So. See you in my next post :)
