standard 08/15 BL stuff...

After At 25:00 in Akasaka - Season 2 - this is the episode most of the girls will prefer. It's just 08/15 stuff, quite cute, not that deep and what's worse, it's the story of the fictional couple of the fictional BL.

How nice would it have been if they were not the fictional couple but the fictional actors having a story and of course much more than just one episode. That would have been much more interesting, but we can't have it all.

I can't write much because it's quite underwhelming compared to the series. We don't have any character development and just 22 minutes is not much time to add depth to a story. So it's just a nice watch and you can escape your troubles for 22 minutes :)

Loved it, but could’ve been better!

I can’t put into words how much I loved this 😭
It’s really unfortunate that it’s them as Teppei and Yamato instead of Hajime and Kazuma… would love more of Hajime and Kazuma as a side couple in the original story.

I’m all for plots like this lol. Would recommend it 100% but I know it’s not for everyone.

Hopefully we get to see Takuma and Shoma actually starring in a different show together. The chemistry is THERE! They gotta do something about it and put it into production or whatever. I did not expect less from Takuma… he’s just so good at doing his job.

I spent the whole series with a serious case of second couple syndrome, rooting for a romance between Yamase and Sakuma, and I was really hoping the spin-off would focus on that. Usa Takuma and Nagumo Shoma have great chemistry together, and it would be awesome to see a show dedicated just to their relationship. I’d definitely watch it.

well done

"At 25:00 in Akasaka Season 2" spin-off , this is well done. its short but has good content, and they did well in showing the chemistry of the couple, kinda wanted them to expand it for those 2 as a real couple instead and for them to have their own season.
i do recommend especially if you want to watch something quick and cute

wanted a bit more

Overall: I was disappointed that they went with developing a fictional couple in a drama that Shirasaki & Hayama were watching instead of the actual fictional characters in their universe. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5847/at-2500-in-akasaka-2024-s02e11

What I Liked
- supportive co-workers

Room For Improvement
- didn't communicate clearly
- cliche running scene

A spinoff I need a spinoff of

This was a really sweet spinoff and now I kinda want to see Sakuma and Yamase have their own series as themselves, not characters from the series. Well the fictional series. No wait. We get my point.

Hiru no Yume follows Teppei and Yamato, and their love story after the events of Daytime Dream, the drama that was filmed in S1 of At 25 in Akasaka.

It was obviously very short, kind of like an actual special you would get of a side couple that had five seconds of screentime in the main series, and of course I would have loved an actual full fledged story here.

But again, this was very cute, we got what I imagine was part of the special they filmed within the series, we got to see all the leads again and the chemistry between Takuma and Shoma is actually amazing, would love to see them in a spinoff of Akasaka or in a different series.

A mini spin-off from At 25:00 in Akasaka Season 2~ 🌸

It was kinda nice~ but I really wish it was a full series instead of only a 23-min episode~ (*≧ω≦)ノ💫

Sweet

I enjoyed this very much, the drama within the drama.
But now i need more of their real story outside of the drama they played in, in the series. I got the feeling in the original series that they had a secret relationship, just like Shirasaki and Hayama.

I also loved seeing a bit more of Shirasaki and Hayama, although it was just a few minutes. Every extra drama minute i can get with them i take with both hands. I love this series so much!!!

I definatly need a third season and in that season i would also like to see more of the real story of "both couples".

Good music and visuals.

Cute, but not much else to say

The love story of the characters the actor's played in the first season, not the actor's themselves like I thought (hoped), this didn't have time for much depth of character, conflict, or real plot. The main leads acted very well and I very much hope they can do a full series together to really show off the chemistry we glimpsed in the second season.
