I honestly had no idea people were so interested in more 50% OFF content. I don't think I have the time/resources to do full episodes, but these shorts are fun to write and record
@@theoneandonlyever It's so funny you say that: that was actually a line I cut from the initial draft. I tried to convey that feeling through just the one line instead because I thought it would be funnier.
completely understand you lack the time/resources to do full episodes of 50% off, but make no mistake: I have been waiting YEARS for more content: rewatching, sharing clips with friends who didn’t even watch free! but still loved the abridged series, quoting lines to friends and family involved in swimming, etc, and I am beyond excited to see more of your work after all this time!! thank you for blessing the new year with more thugisa!!!!!
I can’t believe these guys are back! Thank you so much for all the time you put into them Octo! Regular episodes or shorts, I’m just happy to see their faces and hear about Nagisa’s insane shenanigans 😂
even if these just end up being YT Shorts i will cherish them forever,,, ty octo for making these i can only image that these take a lot of time and effort to produce
Same to all these comments about reliving high school memories, I've revived several eight year old group chats by sending these clips to my old weeb friends I'd sort of lost contact with after going off to college. Turns out we all can still quote segments of the original 50% Off episodes verbatim, and it's been great to catch up with them again. Thanks for so many laughs over the past decade 😊
This made my day!!! Thank you so much for sharing this; I was obsessed with 50% Off in high school, and me and my best friend would have full conversations of just quotes from all of the episodes. This genuinely made my day so much better and reminded me of some really wholesome memories!
IT RETURNS??!?!?!?! This is so exciting!!!! 50% OFF is a classic and I just rewatched the whole series a couple weeks ago! I remember the whole kerfuffle around the discontinuation -- for anyone out of the loop, it seemed like the team just lost interest (and seemingly felt that viewers were not supporting the show enough to warrant making it). I hope the break helped and the shorts are less difficult on everyone.
honestly i stopped watching after one character went on a rant about how awful and fetishizIng that fujoshi are. way to call your audience shitty people i guess. also a big reason i left tumblr.
I love that there’s new little clips being put out!! The past several days I’ve literally been binge watching 50% off like multiple times a day lmfao and now there’s new snippets out! I’ve loved free and 50% off for years and it makes me so happy that there’s still so many people that love both series so much!!!
Same. I would play 1/2 of an episode before a study session. Then watch the other 1/2 after. It kept me motivated to start out on a high note and end on a high note.
The resurgence of 50% off was not something I ever expected to happen I genuinely feel like my depression is gone. This cured me I haven’t felt genuine joy since the last time an episode of this series was posted.
I can’t believe it, I always come back to watch the series every now & then but seeing there’s a mini update video teared me up 🥺 Big Papa NG is back yall 😭💞
I watched 50% off when it was first released and to this day, I still quote it. Now that I'm thing about it, I still have Nagisa's rap memorized. I'm glad it's a core memory LOL
when I was like 14-15, I would spend entire afternoons rewatching 50% Off over and over. I love this series so much, thank you for making more!! You have no idea how excited I was to see this in my sub list!!
Have been quoting this show since middle school and now I'm grown and married and quote it all the time with my husband!!! WTF!!! So happy to see it's back!!
Wow 😳 I had just gone back to these after years maybe just a week or two ago just rewatching the old videos. I never expected at this point to get more! 😍
I've practically memorized your 50% Off content because I've enjoyed playing it over and over throughout the years. I'd love more shorts because your shorts are more memorable to me than the anime xD
I remember being 18 (I'm 26 now) and always laughing my ass off watching this parody serie lmao (especially because I really liked Free! during that moment of my life) I can't believe you guys posted something new!
WAIT I clicked on this thinking some random person had uploaded a clip from the abridged series, but I found it odd that I didn’t remember that part… I didn’t even realise what channel that was on! I can’t believe we got more 50% off!! Best forty seconds of the year so far honestly.
Incredible!!! In the year 2023?? It’s like the happiest flashback. I deadass don’t remember a time when nagisa didn’t love the glasses guy because of 50%off
It's not fair. How can you still make me laugh 10 years later? XD (It's like hooking up with an ex that you were never really on bad terms with, just drifted apart).
I just rewatched everything after seeing the last upload in my recommended earlier, then saw this right after I finished 😂 It's really nostalgic yet refreshing Thugisa is still an icon, and the most sane one of the group lol
