#does gackt

i need you to know that there's this japanese language immersion summer camp i've both been to as a camper and worked at as a counselor and we just sort of inexplicably have mr brain both as a dvd and as a fansub that some counselor downloaded ages ago and when i was a camper we would watch it when we had to take a long bus ride and when i was a counselor last summer the fansub was one of the few things we could show the kids during media time because we did not have a dvd player and the kids went feral for it. to the point where when we did get a dvd player and could no longer show them mr brain because the dvds did not have subs, i heard the kids in my cabin making plans to make a discord server *specifically to watch the rest of mr brain* because one of them had gotten the fansub files from one of the leadership staff. its just part of this camp's culture somehow. and we were talking in the staffroom one time like 'no one in the world cares about this show as much as we care about this show' and someone was like 'well the lead actor was in smap so theres gotta be people in japan who care about it' and someone else was like 'OH THAT'S WHY GACKT WAS A CANNIBAL IN THAT ONE EPISODE' and i was sitting there like THAT WAS GACKT?? THE GUY WHO SINGS THE DECADE OP?? also oh huh i follow someone on tumblr who really likes smap. and now every time you reblog something about mr brain i'm like whoa. mr brain jumpscare. also weird little connection between this 7 episode long show i watched at camp when i was 15, and the kamen rider i'm the most insane about
