Takara no Vidro Spin Off (2024)

What was the point?

Basically it's just a regular episode where the viewer doesn't really get anything more out of the 10 episodes of the Takara no Vidro series.

You get 23 additional minutes of the same story without really adding much. Time has passed (between 6 months to a year) but you can't really tell by yourself, as the show needs to do so with the "Takara-senpai returns from a long hiking trip" thing. The emotional investment of Taishin himself makes it feel like he went down the convenience store, not to another country.
Even the stalker turned BL fan fic writer felt cringey, despite me being actually curious about her POV in the teaser.

Personally, I think even those who really loved this show should just move on and find something else to enjoy, as this special seemed unnecessary, even counterproductive, as Taishin and Takara felt like roommates, not lovers.

A stale Spin-off lacking substance

The spin-off episode of 'Takara no Vidro' fails to capitalize on its potential. The lack of character development and progression is particularly disappointing. The episode feels like a filler, offering little new to fans of the show.

It was indeed heart-warming to see that Takara and Taishin are still going strong in their relationship but there are still significant things they are unaware about each other. Feels like, although the relationship is strong, there is lack of communication between the main characters. There is no growth or understanding between them.

A potential spin-off theme could have been exploring Takara’s past with his parents and exploring the reasons behind his guarded nature and the events that shaped his personality. Juxtaposing his past experiences with his current relationship with Taishin could create a compelling narrative arc
In conclusion, there is no loss if viewers miss this episode as there is nothing new of offer
