I think this show is definitely hitting the mark. Especially displaying the differing personalities of English teachers. I could see myself in this program. It reminded me of when I came to Japan 12 years ago without any experience or clue as to what an English teacher was supposed to do. Ouch. Keep up the good work and “Let’s have a BS or ‘Be Yes’ day.”

These are really good, better than 95% of the stuff they put on T.V. nowadays. I just wish it wasn’t so short. Keep up the good work!

Love Mark’s scene of surveillance camera! He is hilarious!!!
October 2nd, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Great show! It is looking so good and the writing is hilarious! Really excited to see the next episodes!!!

Very professionally done with good acting and scripting. You can tell it is building up to more fun and games. More… more!
The characters are great!
Longer episodes would be a plus.
October 2nd, 2010 at 11:32 pm
GOVA! That’s good! (don’t worry, they go bankrupt later)
October 2nd, 2010 at 11:40 pm
what Neville says in the opening scene is lovely!!
October 3rd, 2010 at 4:32 am
hahaha “GOVA”… i wonder what their mascot looks like
i’m definitely fond of this series. sharing w/ my friends on Facebook!

Neville: “I am the water… can”
Outstanding. This is hilarious because it’s so embarrassing. Love it.

[..YouTube..] GOVA? They must mean NOVA and the pink rabbit. Funny parody.
October 5th, 2010 at 9:43 am
[..YouTube..] GO HERE TO HELP PROMOTE THIS VIDEO!

[..YouTube..] @freedomwv When I saw GOVA, I LOL.
I think there is more to the parody then just NOVA. GEOS is another english conversation school that went bust. G(eos)(n)OVA
October 5th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Good stuff! Keep it up!
October 5th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
[..YouTube..] Common Be Yes! Smash those Gova assholes!
October 5th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
[..YouTube..] @TheUnkownGod more like half an hour
October 5th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
[..YouTube..] Thanks for all the comments. We hope you’re enjoying our show and that you keep visiting our channel. Episode 3 goes live October 16th! A new “interesting” character will introduced…
October 5th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
[..YouTube..] Great job! Looking forward to each new segment.
October 5th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
[..YouTube..] Thumbs up.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
[..YouTube..] With better writing this could be great, ESL is a goldmine of material…
October 6th, 2010 at 1:37 am
[..YouTube..] As a kick ass teacher in Japan I can say with confidence this is really what most of the morons are like. not including myself of course
October 6th, 2010 at 11:50 am
Great acting, but I have to say that the script just isn’t very funny. It feels like every line is a botched up joke that could have been made a lot funnier. “Surveillance… Camera!!” was a horrible scene, it would have made more sense if he taught them words like “big brother” or “this is how you say dates in English… like … 1984!”
October 6th, 2010 at 6:42 am
[..YouTube..] hillarious.
October 6th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
[..YouTube..] Love these videos! Haven’t taught in Japan yet, but I have had the experience of the NOVA-like school in Italy… it’s hilarious how similar things are. Although I think your videos still make it much nicer than reality
Can’t wait to see new episodes. And I think they’re perfect as-is!!
October 6th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
[..YouTube..] I want more boobies in show
October 7th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
SORRY. It’s just not that interesting. This episode was worse than the first. Much worse. The only decent part was GOVA. The jokes DON’T pay off in any way. Most of them are lame. SACK the WRITERS. Keep the staff and actors. Find a consistent tone and keep it. IF you are going to make it all in-jokes why bother. Think of a series like the office. I’ve never worked in an office but it’s still finny. I can still relate to it. I worked at Nova many years ago and I still don’t find this amusing.
October 7th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
This is a lot of fun. Looks like the drama is picking up. Excited to see where it goes.
October 7th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
brilliant!! You guys should do a Korean episode at one point. There is just so much to work with on so many levels!!
October 7th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Weak, at best. BUT i do like the lady who plays the head of the school… [Part of this comment was edited by the moderator.]
October 7th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
[..YouTube..] I like it.
October 8th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
I’m enjoying the series so far, but I’m begging for more! A few minutes every two weeks will have me either pulling my hair out or leaving all together and trying to remember to visit again in a few months for a good sit down.
A little hokey, but well produced, acted and written. Keep it up!
October 8th, 2010 at 9:21 am
[..YouTube..] English teachers+The Office
October 8th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
[..YouTube..] Heard from this through Gimmeabreakman. So far it seems great, I would love to see more episodes. I definitely would like to learn more about ESL in japan.
October 8th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
[..YouTube..] is that one kid wearing a boyscout uniform at 1:52?
October 9th, 2010 at 1:16 am
[..YouTube..] Thats alot of ppl in the cast
October 9th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
This series is great and I really look forward to seeing future episodes.
This is an online TV show by the way. Not an Orwell novel or a Kubrick film. Come on guys
Keep them coming!
October 10th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
[..YouTube..] jodi is hot =D
October 11th, 2010 at 3:06 am
[..YouTube..] please keep making these awesome videos!
October 12th, 2010 at 4:50 am
No, definitely weak, even for an online show. Nice production and the blond girl is cute but it’s just so meaningless and flat, not to mention predictable. Great concept but what was the point of making this if you’re not going to do it right? Also, some actors too noticeably worse than others… But nice try I guess.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:28 am
[..YouTube..] What did I just wathc? stupid asians
October 12th, 2010 at 6:40 am
[..YouTube..] Mark is hilarious. Sawaguchi is a good actress. She really made me feel the pain of having to let customers go.
October 13th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
You all really think this show is good? REALLY? The acting is weak, the writing is hackneyed and there is nothing the least bit humorous in any of it. Either these comments are all from friends of the show or you people live very isolated lives.
1/10
I’ve seen better high school plays.
October 13th, 2010 at 7:25 am
[..YouTube..] wow, i really like the series!!! Cant wait for more.
October 15th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Needs some humor. And better acting. Otherwise…
October 16th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
Haha, I loved the Surveillance Camera bit. Very funny. Look forward to future episodes!

[..YouTube..] omg this series is awesome!
October 17th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
[..YouTube..] These episodes should be called epicsodes. they are way sexy.
October 17th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
[..YouTube..] Another great episode!!
October 21st, 2010 at 4:55 pm
[..YouTube..] how can anyone find this funny ?
October 21st, 2010 at 11:24 pm
[..YouTube..] @pivetom obviously you’ve never been an English teacher in Japan. The mothers here make Hitler look like a choir boy when it comes to their child learning English. This show is great because it makes fun of the entire English system in Japan.
October 22nd, 2010 at 3:59 pm
[..YouTube..] pleease dont stop making these vids because you have a low view count, it will change! they are really funny and well made, love the wise teacher who thinks of himself as the water…can.
October 23rd, 2010 at 9:01 am
[..YouTube..] very very good! I like you guys… keep up the good work!
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:38 pm
[..YouTube..] @vibrohm 11k view just only the 2nd episode is not exactly low view count.
October 23rd, 2010 at 4:01 pm
[..YouTube..] @RealmEternal oh you’re right! I misread it as 1k views, either way they must continue! thanks.
October 24th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
[..YouTube..] I need no english teacher I AM HARDCORE and use…..videogames to learn english ^^

[..YouTube..] The Japanese head teacher is spot on in dialogue and intonation. “Tom is a…very good teacher, so please enjoy watching him!”

October 30th, 2010 at 3:43 am
[..YouTube..] Clearly, A LOT of money was sunk into this. The R&D is just spot on. Still, just little old me is competitive with your monolithic corporation. Gambate kudesai!
November 1st, 2010 at 1:03 pm
[..YouTube..] hahahahaha…i love this series..its more better than porn..hahaha
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:26 am
[..YouTube..] I thought it was spelled “in”equilibrium.
Wait a second, even though only in acting, you guys are still English teachers.
I have a question(or two): Is there a prefix for equilibrium? What type of word CAN have affixes then? Or to make things easy, what type of words CAN’T you put affixes in?

[..YouTube..] Good show, but it was better with the subtitles in English instead (or on top) of Japanese.

[..YouTube..] LOL, if only I could post this on my website for my students to see things from our point of view.
July 16th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
[..YouTube..] I can begin to see why Japanese people could have a problem with foreigners… especially the ninjitsu guy… although, I had a host dad in Japan who was EXACTLY like him just with Kendou… The kendou guy was less freaky though.

[..YouTube..] Those English subs are sooooooooooo WRONG!!
