Oh, the broadcasts are only 15~20 minutes per day, and are broadcasted from Mondays to Wednesdays every week only, so they don't really take much time to listen to (but are still pretty nice to listen to either way). The show itself is pre-recorded as the girls can't show up to the studio to have live broadcasts because of their other responsibilities, so they record the three episodes in one sitting and talk about topics that are supposed to happen on the days the broadcasts are to be aired.

 

Also, the Youtube/Nico Douga posters are very reliable in terms of timeliness and quality so they're really the best option for people that don't mind waiting.

Yup, the most interesting segment so far is Watanabe Miyuki's due to the whole 'lovers' atmosphere and the actual things she shows towards the end of them. Shimazaki's corner is mostly funny because of how candid she is while she works on the themes, and Umeda's corner was actually really funny when they left her with a few blank scripts (otherwise it was somewhat plain).

 

The guessing games are nice, but too infrequent, and the songs are mostly bad (though I like Guutara Mama because of Watanabe and the lyrics).

 

You can tell that the production team could definitely do better with the composition and attention to detail, but I guess they don't really have much of a budget (most of the team works not just on Geinin, but Hyakkaten and AKBINGO too, and it seems like the focus is mostly on AKBINGO, with a little bit of attention paid to Geinin as well).

 

AKS should have more than enough money to give them, but the world doesn't work that way I guess.

Far more than 6 minutes for Yukirin's reading segment in the last episode was way too much. First time I had a real urge to fast forward.

Also it seems they run out of ideas for the show... no new segments or anything basically, and also the writer(s) lost ideas for dialoge, it seems, looking at Umeda & Co.'s segment.

They should put in some blanks again and let the girls ad-lib their way out of it like what they did that one time with Umeda.

 

But anyways, yes, Kashiwagi's corner got old really quick. I prefer Watanabe's corner, not just because of my allegiance to NMB, but because it's actually a very good corner of the show compared to the rest.
