Ainori: African Journey (2019)

I watched the first episode of the prequel a while back and I found it boring and uninteresting so I dropped it right away. Skip to 6 months later when I found this season recommended to me by Netflix and since I was really bored I just watched expecting trash that I would drop immediately bur instead I ended up binge watching 22 episodes in 5 days . This show will surprise you if you stick with it. You will love some contestants and you will love to hate others. Just get trough the first 3 "boring" episodes and you'll be grateful later when the show gets really good and gives you moments that you won't see even in dramas. Just watch it please.

I'm going to try and keep this review short so: I loved it. That's it, thanks for reading (lol no).

I am a big fan of the first two seasons of Ainori and this season did not disappoint! I'm going to be honest and say that I might have enjoyed more some of the couples that were formed in the past seasons, like there was a more defined/coherent progression? I guess. This time though I couldn't stop laughing, crying from both sadness and happiness, and just in general I had an amazing time watching Shumai trying hard, Susu and Haribo getting together, Yuina having a forbidden love lol, my girl Husky getting her happy ending, everyone attempting to climb the Kilimanjaro...and Depparin was nowhere to be seen!!! This happiness kinda intertwined with the usual weird/too serious scenes that the show throws in there every now and then (I get that they don't want to show only the good parts of the countries they're visiting but is it necessary to show people puking or Haribo's pictures after his accident? I don't think so) but...yeah D: Oh, kudos to the panelists and the rest of the crew because they made it much more enjoyable.

I'm sure this made no sense but in summary it was everything that I expected from Ainori and of course it had its flaws but other aspects compensated them.
