Queer Eye: We're in Japan!

I have been a huge fan of Japanese culture for years. I grew up watching Anime and movies alike. It was amazing to see how appreciative and grateful Japanese people were to the Fab 5. A groundbreaking season I think. This season reminded me of season one, where it looked more deep into the peoples hidden suffering. How they even pulled it off so well, I cant even comprehend. I was so mad when it ended with only 4 epsiodes. I feel like this season was a great educational experience for Americans. All the bad reviews about subtitles and not understanding Japanese people only highlights the epidemic of ignorance in the American society.

During the pandemic, I started to watch shows that I would not normally take time to watch. I watched a couple of the first episodes of Queer Eye and found what the show was about to be so wonderful, but I could not relate to some of the people being helped. Still, I kept it on my Netflix list. Then I saw that the series was shot in Japan, and I was really intrigued. I laughed and cried and enjoyed the whole experience. I knocked the series out so fast and was hungry for more. The Fab 5 have such outgoing and genuine personalities and skills. They use these, and their own personal life experiences, to help individuals who were recommended by friends, family, and bosses. If you ever feel like you don't fit in this world and/or had a tough time being yourself, then this is the show to watch. You learn and you feel. What can be better than that?

The Fab 5 juggernaut didn't just bluster through Japan with their American playbook but rather made a conscious effort to understand the culture and help those that fall victim to its rigid conformity. Their kindness and empathy translates seamlessly across the globe and I found this series to be as uplifting and joyful as the US version, if not more so. Japanophiles will love it, Fab fans will love it. As for subtitles, some of the finest films the world has to offer are not in English; give it a little time and it'll be second nature and won't detract from your viewing pleasure at all. Arigato, Queer Eye.

Loved seeing them in Japan and getting a perspective on the culture there.

I'm from Japan and a huge fan of Queer Eye. I couldn't wait for this series because they are here finally! The struggle as a part of lgbt, tight society are true, and stressful small living spaces in the city are also real. People here forget to have fun and how to be yourself sometimes. You can see what I mean when you see people crying in each episode. How Fab5 treated and hugged people gave them big relief and happiness!
