I’m a very casual fan, and I first got into gaki after watching a clip of their no laughing batsu many years ago, and I’ve made it a yearly tradition to watch their batsu games ever since.

I knew it wasn’t going to last forever especially since they were all getting older, but COVID really sped its cancellation up by a few years imo. These last few years have really hurt and I haven’t watched anything of them ever since the last batsu.

I’ve tried watching some of their other stuff that was subbed, but they honestly never really appealed to me, the few that I watched anyway. That’s why I say I’m a very casual fan.

I recall watching one of their other shows where they make weird food combinations and they taste it but it just didn’t click for me. I think I just liked the batsu games for their chemistry in hanging out and joking together, dicking around trying to make eachother laugh and with all the varying and creative ways the show tries to make the cast break. So their more regular and normal comedy stuff just doesn’t really do it for me, I guess.

I’ve watched documental and that’s the closest I’ve seen, but that’s only with Matsumoto and honestly I’m not that into it neither because I felt like a lot of the times it was just people getting their asshole out to make people laugh.

I don’t suppose any more hardcore fans of the show could recommend any of their content in particular that would appeal to a more casual fan like myself, who only really liked their batsu games?

I’d also be super appreciative of any outside recommendations of similar game shows since this is the only one I’ve ever watched over the years and my life currently feels like it’s missing something now that I haven’t been able to get my batsu fix in a few years.
