I dunno if it was just me, but did anyone else feel some of the expressions in Too Short to Ride felt a tad Osomatsu-ish.

I don't know much about that show, but I do know that Lauren Zuke is a fan of it, and she boarded "Too Short to Ride" along with Hilary Florido. So you might be on to something.

There's animation lead time to consider. Well, if you don't mean the original manga or one of the earlier adaptations.

The idea that Rose had some kind of agenda in creating Steven to me undercuts the essential optimism/idealism of Steven's existence.
I'm sure that wanting to experience what it was like to be human was definitely part of it.

But rather than making a superweapon, it makes more sense to me that she would have Steven as an example to homeworld of a way they can repopulate without hollowing out every planet in the universe like the Plutonians in Rick & Morty. The first generation of hybrids doesn't necessarilly do that since one of the parents dies, but if the hybrids ever had kids, the second generation would create a new hybrid population of gems. By adapting and evolving to repopulate on their own it solves both of Homeworlds resource, and population problems.

[up][up] I watched the old series as a kid on TV. It was one of those staple Latin-American kids shows.

Also, PFFFT!

So based on this picture, I'm assuming we'll be seeing that creepo kid all the way from the first Stevonnie epsideo again?

Cut Kevin some slack. He probably watched James Bond and thought behaving like that was the way to be an Attractive Confident Man.

He's not an instigator this time round. But if he gets slapped, it better be an epic one.

There's animation lead time to consider.
Zuke previously said "Log Date 7 15 2" was boarded January and February 2015, "Too Short to Ride" was two Zuke/Florido episodes later, and boards take about five weeks per episode per team, so sometime in Spring 2015. That's before the first episode of Osomatsu-san premiered in Fall 2015, and Zuke never posted anything about the original series.

Damn Steven hates Kevin. Wow I know he's a jerk but he hasn't done anything objectively worse than Marty or Jasper really.

Yes, but neither of those hit on Steven. The latter merely hit him.

Holy shit. Steven's been frustrated with characters before, but I've never seen him express such rage just at someone's presence.

Final episode of the week: Beach City Drift!

Also, Steven is still rich!!

Oh shit, it's Kevin.

Why does he look like an anime douch?

It's Kevin time!

Oh sure. The Little bro line.

Yeah that's more like it.

Oh good. They're alive.

So, I guess the moral was to not give jerks the satisfaction of seeing that you got to them. I guess that's pretty solid. And Kevin seemed really frustrated. Which was awesome.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

So the lesson was... Ignore taunting from jerks and just be satisfied that you did your best? Or was it if you don't them get a rise out of you, they'll become obsessed with getting you angry instead? Because I don't think the latter always works.

Well that went exactly how I hoped it would.

Or was it if you don't them get a rise out of you, they'll become obsessed with getting you angry instead?
No, that was just a bonus.
