It was such a pain to actually get the episodes to watch them in the first place, I wouldn't say it's necessarily overhyped or underhyped, it's overall just fine. Not "fine" in a bad way, just not bad but nothing groundbreaking. It's retelling a small handful of stories from the original show, but really toned down and adjusted to fit Japanese culture better and a shorter runtime, didn't bring anything new to the table. I would only say this is better than the reset because it's using stories we already know are good and doesn't make huge changes to Nanno or try to explain her in any way.
For anyone who wants to know how I got the episodes: reddit. The GFN subreddit has all the resources, link to the discord, someone linked to a drive folder with the two last episodes not on the discord server, and the discord server has the subtitles. I watched the last two with VLC media player and had to manually adjust the timing for subtitles since the drive episodes have the intro cut out.
Had to drop because I got so pissed off with the cutting of all the sex scenes. They would build up a whole bunch of tension, then leave the episode on a cliffhanger, start the next episode where we ended, THEN CUT AWAY. Not even a single kiss shown on screen. Are we sure this isn't the cut version of the show???
It's not exactly terrible, but it isn't anything to write home about. Nanno doesn't really feel like "Nanno" in this, the Sky side plot is weirdly placed in and doesn't really make sense or have a payoff, and the messaging is super confused in a few of these episodes. If you really want to, feel free to watch this, but if you want a good set of Nanno stories, just rewatch season 1.
Good but really confusing, you don't know what's happening until the very end. Wish they kept going with the time travel but I understand why they wrapped things up the way they did. Just wish we had more interesting stories like this in bl, y'know?
Really wish the censors didn't force this show to get cut down so much! It's so good and knowing there was supposed to be more episodes makes me so sad... ig I can just go read the source material but it just isn't the same, y'know? Especially wished we could've gotten more screentime for Shen Wenlong and Gao Tu...
