This a lovely and well plotted story- at times it felt a little slow but it also emphasised the emotions and made them very potent to the viewer. The lead actors have such chemistry together it's lovely to watch and beautifully shot. This is a film which is a must-watch in my opinion if you like love stories which really touch you and make you believe in the couple.

A story of young love between two boys. Bittersweet, funny, exciting, tragic, dramatic. Very light and very entertaining. Both boys are incredibly handsome and the challenges they face because of their 'forbidden' love makes for an exciting movie.
The film is not for everyone, and it requires an open mind to really appreciate what the boys have to go through - the negativity of their fellow schoolmates and the difficulty of having to deal with their own emotions. The pacing is soothing and quite cozy. It enables the viewers to get into the emotional roller coaster of what's in store for the lovers.
Highly recommended to those who believe that love knows no boundaries.

I adored this drama. I had no idea what to expect going into it but as the story started to develop I really got involved with everything that was going on.

There are parts that feel like it's a fanfiction written by a 13 year old but it sort of adds to the charms of the movie. This is the second part of a five part series and after watching this movie I will definitely be checking out the rest of the series.

Sad…but beautiful. Rather confused at the start as to where the story was going, but the sensitive ending more than made up for it. The story-line is not original but the BL angle is and I am happy gay relationships are given equally good treatment with straight romance. If only the same were true in Europe! Not one I would probably hurry to re-watch as it's very emotional but well worth seeing for anyone who has not.

It was my first yaoi  series and this is the reason to make me a fajushi... Such a master piece... Amazing story line... Superb acting and heart warming music... A perfect package for those who believe love has no boundaries... Gii is symbol of protection and takumi is symbol of loyalty... You have to protect your loved one even if it means your losing and you have to be loyal to your love one even if you don't understand what they are thinking.... A boy who has human contact phobia since his childhood over come it for the person whom hr loved and a rich perfect guy who literally own the world stand beside his lover even when he himself is hurt and in trouble.... Love is a burden but your partner is the one who make it blessing for you... What an amazing series... My heart is filled so much love for humanity and if you are going to watch it please learn the things with them....

Beautifully shot, one might say exactly according to the Japanese rules and standards of shonen-ai manga. A film about love, boyish love, jealousy, discipline and ... death.
Those who do not understand this genre of pictures of the Land of the Rising Sun can only wonder and remain "surprised", see previous reviews.
A sensitive and gentle picture, where Gii is seme and Takumi uke from the very beginning. There was also a change of both actors in the main roles, why, I can't judge, because for example I liked Gii in the first series. I think "two" is one of the best of the whole series.



Krásně natočeno, dalo by se říci přesně podle japonských pravidel a norem šónen-ai mangy. Film o lásce, chlapecké lásce, žárlivosti, ukázněnosti a ... smrti.
Ten, kdo nechápe tento žánr snímků Země vycházejícího slunce se může akorát divit a zůstávat "překvapený", viz předchozí recenze.
Citlivý a jemný snímek, kdy od prvopočátku je Gii seme a Takumi uke. Došlo i ke změně obou herců v hlavních rolích, proč, nedokážu posoudit, neboť např. Gii se mi v první sérii také líbil. Myslím, že "dvojka" je jedna z nejlepších celé série.

De nouveaux visages pour ce nouveau volet

Ce deuxième volet aborde un thème plus sombre. On délaisse presque la romance (Takumi/Gii) pour concentrer notre attention sur Takeshi, joué par Yuta Takahashi. La maladie et la mort vont donner le ton à ce film, tout en essayant d'offrir une vision différente. Comme dit précédemment, malgré le thème abordé, la romance n'est pas entièrement effacée et va mettre à mal la relation entre Takumi et Gii. Pourtant, on va retrouver de nombreuses scènes longues/lentes et inutiles. On voit un réel manque de communication du couple Takumi/Gii (et quand on regarde le troisième volet, le problème n'est pas réglé).

D'une certaine façon, c'était comme si personne n'avait vraiment tranché sur l'intrigue principale, vous voyez ? Les deux idées étaient bonnes alors elles se sont mélangées sans équilibre.

Ce volet est celui qui souffre le plus sur son ensemble. C'est amené avec beaucoup de maladresses.
Le nouveau casting n'est pas responsable. Bien que je regrette Tomo Yanagishita, on ne peut nier que Kyosuke Hamao reprend bien le flambeau de Takumi - mais l'écriture de son personnage fait grincer quelques dents, c'est vrai. Quant à Gii, c'est Daisuke Watanabe qui reprendra les traits - ce qui personnellement ne me dérange pas non plus. D'ailleurs, on peut noter que les deux acteurs possédaient une attraction légère, mais intéressante.

Encore une fois (et comme pour toute la série), à regarder avec un œil nostalgique. Parce qu'au final, même si j'ai quelques reproches à faire, la nostalgique l'a encore emporté (bien que la note soit légèrement salée, mais au-dessus de la moyenne malgré tout).

Sensacional

Não é possível para mim terminar esse filme sem chorar! Não importa quantas vezes eu assista, a sensação é sempre a mesma.
Gostaria de ressaltar o quão foi maravilhosa a mudança dos atores principais! o Hamao e o Daosuki tem uma química incrível, e até nas cenas quentes eles foram ótimos (lembrando que o filme é de 2008).
Com relação ao roteiro, eu nem tenho palavras para descrever o quão foi incrível. Até senti raiva do Gii no início, achei que faltou responsabilidade afetiva para com o Takumi, isso sobre a situação com o Morita. Também achei que Gii foi muito convencido em alguns momentos, mas diante das explicações, eu tenho que passar esse pano pra ele, e até elogiar a construção psicológica do personagem, que conseguiu manter a calma o tempo inteiro, mesmo nos momentos mais dolorosos. Com relação ao Takumi, totalmente compreensível sua atitude, seu ciúme e sua explosão, afinal ele não podia adivinhar o que estava acontecendo.
O elenco atual de forma brilhante, a fotografia do filme, o momento da morte relacionado com o título, tudo bem desenhado e perfeito, e ainda coroado pela ost excelente, pra mim é 10 de 10 em tudo, pretendo assistir todas as vezes que sentir saudades.

Takumi a grandi

Le premier Takumi-Kun était particulièrement mignon, tout choupi avec son début de romance, ici, le deuxième opus devient plus mature, mais aussi plus sombre avec cette histoire vraiment très belle mais tragique.
Il y a beaucoup de poésie dans la réalisation et la symbolique présentée tout au long du film, symbolique en rapport avec le titre de ce deuxième volet ( Nijiro no Glass = verre irisé ). On est transporté mais certains événements touchent en plein cœur et ça fait mal.

Les acteurs principaux ont été changés ce qui déstabilise pas mal je dois avouer. Du coup, je ne parviens pas à trancher si le personnage de Gii est devenu froid et distant à cause du scénario ou si c'est parce que ce sont des acteurs différents du premier. J'ai eu l'impression de ressentir une alchimie bien plus faible que dans le premier. Takumi est toujours un peu "mollasse" et c'est Gii qui doit toujours tout prendre en main.

En ce sens, on se focalise plus sur la deuxième histoire dont Takumi et Gii deviennent les simples spectateurs, ils sont bien moins le centre d'attention que dans le premier opus de la série.

Le film accuse parfois certaines longueurs mais, dans les scènes où le suspens monte on est facilement happé par le rythme bien mené et on s'immerge complètement dans l'action.

Je ressors tout de même du film avec un sentiment de trop peu, je voulais en voir plus et passer plus de temps avec Takumi et ses amis, à voir avec les opus suivants.

Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.
