think ima be the odd one out & say this…

think ima be the odd one out & say this was kind of let down. at the start of this - when the director of the BL (where Shirasaki & Asami met) said it is harder to make a sequel cause usually the audience i looking forward to the start of a romance, but in a sequel to capture the same charged emotion's when the relationship is already established is harder. & i think ironically this is how i feel about this season. *********************************************************************************************************i wasn't looking for excitement - given the mains had already established their romance. i was looking for growth (especially) on Shirasaki's part, while with Asami i wanted him to open up & rely on Shirasaki more - not always be the caretaker & fixers. this didn't happen. the fact Shirasaki told Asami at the end 'he should confide in him more' - is neither here nor there - especially after the way he reacted in the previous ep, when Asami took the 1st step in opening up & got whiplash cause of Shirasaki 's insecurities & selfishness. so he can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk, i don't think so. ***************************to admit the truth i really wanted Asami to breakup with Shirasaki in that auditorium. of course Asami would never do that cause of his childhood, i doubt he is capable of breaking up with an abusive partner, let alone a self-centered one. he the type that will never initiate a breakup. but i think given where both where in their lives, it would be the logical move - space & time apart. & they r getting it cause Asami decided to do the movie in England. maybe the time apart will force Shirasaki into maturing. a break-up would force him to confront how much he relied & only took from Asami... but who knows. this was a one off & even if i wanna re-watch, it will only be the 1st season. this a one & done for me
