Very good, but not perfect ?
Overall, this is a really good bl. The acting is well done for the content. Some have criticized Chiaki's actor for being too blunt, but that's just his personality, which is why he identifies with the punk/goth community. Being from that community myself, as well as being queer, he reminded me of several I've met.
Also, being in the fashion industry, one needs to be forthright or you'll get eaten.
All that being said, I felt the actors did a good job with what they were given to work with. Remember, their given a script and being directed, so what we get is what the producers want us to have. Often it's not entirely the fault of the actor.
I appreciate much of the outdoor filming was one of the fashion districts of Tokyo, Shibuya ward/Harajuku (Cat Street especially). I have many punk and vintage shops bookmarked when I visit next year.
I agree that the final episodes was a bit rushed and too cringe. I feel there must be a production/director issue, because the vibe changed.
I wish this could have been a bit more edgier (sp?). From what I understand, the manga goes more in-depth with the relationships, which would have been nice to see.
I will definitely re-watch this and am planning on getting the manga.
