Ep11 felt a little different from the other eps. The LGBTQ/discrimination talk was very heavy handed and felt like an after-school special. And then a quick montage and they drop the study abroad twist.
I love it when they try to use "generational" reasoning for homophobia. "My generation isn't familiar with this." Uh, honey, you're 45, not 90.
I'm really enjoying this, but Ep 3 was so choppy. Things progressed so rapidly, and then we moved on so quickly with so little build up or deeper examination. It felt like this was a 90 minute episode cut down to 60 minutes and we're only getting the absolute minimum necessary to move the story forward without letting it resonate with the audience more. Suddenly, out of nowhere Pi-O doesn't want to enter the competition? Then JUMP/TIME CUT to the last scene. It was jarring.
LOUDER !!! I think it done mainly to fill episodes, unfortunately bl series lately have no originality (very few…
Not just the same plots, the exact same scenes. 2 ongoing series had scenes where the boys were stretching in gym class and got flustered at the closeness. I've watched 100 Haunted House scenes. 1,000 "I twisted my ankle and now need to be carried to the hospital". Can the writers not come up with ONE other ORIGINAL scenario where the two boys might get close? It's almost as if these are getting written by Ai.
Why is it in every BL where someone declares their love for another, the other guy ALWAYS thinks it's "just friends" or not real, or some kind of mistake? I mean, these guys are very clear in their statements of "love", but somehow the other guy doesn't understand statements like, "I like you. It's always been you. As long as it's you..." It's as obvious as your bedhead, dude.
Was just rewatching Season 1 for the 3rd (4th?) time, and saw S2 is coming. I wish I could be reborn as a 22 year old Japanese boy, so I could pursue Fujimoto Kodai. He has one of the sweetest faces in all BL. Can't wait for S2.
Sora is absolutely gorgeous, although I don't buy his poker face for a second. It looks like it pains him to keep a straight face. But otherwise, I'm getting bored.
Ending felt rushed for sure, but was still satisfying. Don't need a special episode, and this one looks to be pure fluff and filler, but I'll gladly watch these two demonstrate their love for all to see.
While this was all very well done, and the acting was very good, it was difficult to watch at times. That was the point, I know. But somehow, I still wasn't involved enough. The ending felt tacked on, to me and therefore not deserved. A good movie, but just not my cup of tea.
Wow. This was mostly fantastic. Felt like a glimpse into someone's real life, rather than a manufactured story. Would like to watch with subs that reflect the layers and complexity of the dialogue a bit more, to fully appreciate them. The not so happy ending fit the themes of the movie so well that you can't fault it. As someone who always felt like an outsider in every group, this really hit hard.
I would love a side-story all about Serizawa's friends (someone called them The Triplets in another comment, and I love that). I don't need them to have any love interests, but I would love to hear what they TRULY think when their friend starts hitting on Suzuki so obviously and nonchalantly. So far, they seem to share one voice, but it would be fun to hear their individual banter.
Are we supposed to infer that Fuse/Tee are actually having sex? Or are they just kissing and then sleeping next to each other like innocent high school students ALWAYS do?
This show continues to surprise me. After watching the first episode, I did not, in my wildest dreams, ever think that these two would become one of my favorite couples. The comfort they get from each other makes my heart explode. And I also never imagined it would become this family/business rivalry/villainous plot. So juicy. Sad it's coming to an end. Already anticipating watching it again.

Will I be back for more next week? Absolutely.

Getting tired of this trope.
