Pekora watches Midsommar [Hololive/ENG]

[@The56567878]

Is this what pekora had in mind when she said she wanted to be a hero to kids and have them watch her streams

[@drowningin]

My daughter is how I found Pekora & hololive. I watch with her, and check in what she's watching. I watch Luna on my own, feeling like proud dad when she plays Electrone

[@cow_tools_]

She's certainly very clever.

[@Raquya]

Yeah, I never really understood why they were crying together and thought they were all just crazy from all the mushroom juice until I read its trope page. Pekora picked up that empathy angle immediately.

[@stellviahohenheim]

Pekora's commentary is actually god-tier-peko.

[@Subjectivity13]

"Pekora will no longer leave her house." Not much of a change there, Pekora. Kawaiisou.

[@proxythefool]

Out of all the usual movie watchalong livers, Pekora is the last one I expected to watch Midsommar of all things. Sasuga crazy usagi.

[@bena1826]

seriously, she's usually pretty family-friendly but midsommar has some legitimately disturbing bits in it EDIT: i wonder how she even knew about it? is it that well known in Japan?

[@epiccarrot88]

@@bena1826 I think her "family friendly" thing is just a bit she does, and also to ward off questions that are too ero for her likes. She's played quite a few mature games too, like Yakuza and Metal Gear.

[@bena1826]

@@epiccarrot88 true but even stuff like yakuza and metal gear is generally cartooney enough for a pg-13 audience, midsommar has at least one aproppriately bizarre scene for adults only if i remember correctly

[@TheUrbanSanta]

The “are you ok?” Terry edit killed me. Thx for the translations and the laughs!

[@Indifferential-]

Bruh. After watching her summarized watchalongs of Hereditary and Midsommar, Pekora movie commentaries from now on will be my new obsession. Aside from being a comedian, she actually gives insights like a movie connoisseur. Her picking up the "communal empathy" blew me away. I need moar!!

[@HQMan2008]

Pekora likes slow-burn indie horror.... Who'da thunk?

[@apexreactions4231]

It's crazy how effectively she could commentate on the movie and still catching small details and remembering events Takes skill to react that well

[@Purin1023]

Pekora is by far my favorite vtuber for watchalongs. It really feels like a lot of others don't get into the movies as much, or focus too much on being entertaining. You can tell Pekora is totally immersed and her commentary feels very natural. Thanks for another translation!

[@cow_tools_]

Seiso Pekora laughing through this graphic ritual sex scene is sending me.

[@adrianaslund8605]

4:37 "Hälsingland" that pronounciation was pretty good peko! Edit: japanese and swedish phonation is surprisingly more similar than between japanese and english. For example our "i" sound is almost exactly the same.

[@agentchuck2]

"Dani will definitely think Chris sucks after this." Pekora level understatement right there.

[@vanillaplanifolia2525]

Can not believe any of the Holos would watch a movie like Midsommar onstream. But then again, Ame did watch The VVitch and Hereditary back to back that one time... (Salò watchalong when?)

Midsommar is not as bad as "Tusk" which Korone and Lamy watched. Midsommar is better in every way, but Tusk is definitely more disgusting and gruesome.

[@lordslende445]

@@milesedgeworth132 Nah, I'd say Midsommar is way worse than Tusk, if just because Tusk feels way too much like it only exists for shock factor.

[@milesedgeworth132]

@@lordslende445 Nah, I'd say Tusk is way worse *because* of the shock factor. Midsommar is more of a psychological horror, and it's not as grotesque as Tusk is. If you want to gross someone out, you show them Tusk. Tusk is devoid of any message or themes. It just wants to be violent.

[@FateZeroth]

I love youuuuu, the editing is hilarious. Like when Pekora mimicked the moaning and the song played lmaoo

[@SwedenTheHedgehog]

As a Swede, this movie annoys me greatly NGL. Not (only) because of the horror or because of the obviously sick content in it; but because it is THE ONLY THING most non-Swedes (mainly Americans) will mention when I’m talking about the actual holiday…

[@CrimsonHero81]

It's a weird movie, and Hereditary is just better too

[@Longlius]

Even Usada "Worship me or face the TNT" Pekora noticed how dubious the narrative became when it tried to hold Chris accountable for things he did while drugged and under duress. Truly an L for Aster.

[@Dystisis]

How can a narrative try to hold someone accountable? It's not the narrative's (or the writer's) fault if some characters act unjustly or stupidly!

[@ronn201]

Has Pekora ever watched Silence of the Lambs and the sequels? I can imagine she'd like them.

[@stellviahohenheim]

Horror that not true horror

[@epiccarrot88]

Pekora being fine with nudity and stuff as long as it's in a movie (aka, has artistic purpose) is something I can respect. I mean, I'm the kind of person to shut my eyes at that stuff in movies, but I can respect the person who respects the craft. Was cathartic really the word she used though, or is that a Japanese word that doesn't translate well to English?

[@pekomains]

As far as I can tell she was just using the English cathartic, although I'll welcome a correction if that turns out to be wrong.

[@epiccarrot88]

@@pekomains I see. It just doesn't make much sense that she would say that with how she has said she has little interest in that kind of thing before. However, rewatching, I think she's following on from how she said it isn't something you see in movies very often and isn't shown very often (in Japan), aka it felt cathartic to see an artist do their art without anything holding them back.

[@sarahl701]

She definitely said cathartic! I think she meant she enjoys these sorts of movies with high emotional stakes like you'd see in Western film (though Japanese cinema has its theatrical moments as well); it could also be like a wasei-eigo "tension" situation where "tension" in Japanese doesn't really mean "tension" the way it does in English but I don't think that's the case here forgive me for writing a novel under your comment I just really click with Pekora's whole film/art-appreciation-style

[@Viraus2]

There are plenty of Asian movies with content that would be considered outright pornographic in the Anglosphere, but for them it's just regular (adult-oriented) stuff

[@RelativelyBest]

I have to say, as a Swede who's used to English speakers having no idea what to make of my native language, it's sorta weird to hear a Japanese girl pronounce "Hälsingland" and more or less nailing it.

[@E4439Qv5]

_Caramelldansen intensifies_

[@AethiopiensPhallischerMegalith]

Swedish, German, and simillar languages share the same system of pronounciation with Japanese, thats why its often easier for one person to learn the other languages, rather than someone from another system (like english), basically japanese is mostly the same of "you pronounce it like you read it" (besides special cases like "ha"), while english has often extra implied rules

[@RelativelyBest]

@@AethiopiensPhallischerMegalith Okay, but I'm assuming she learned to read the Latin alphabet via English, so how the heck does she know what "Ä" sounds like? She even started reading it as an A like every English speaker ever, but then _corrected_ herself. o.O

[@AethiopiensPhallischerMegalith]

@@RelativelyBest Actually, from the tellings of my japanese friends, a lot of English gets taught in kana, with Latin alphabet often not being used early on. That also makes sense, as Loanwords are inherently formulated in kana pronounciation, instead of English pronounciation. take " ビジネス " as "Business" is formulated in the way you would pronounce it right if you follow japanese pronounciation rules (bi shi ne su), If english pronounciation would play any role it would be ブシネッス　(bu shi ne ssu) so going by that, "ä" would simply be "あえ" in kana pronounciation, which perfectly sounds like "ä".
