picked this up yesterday and watching the 8th episode made me realize this series is pretty much stuck where it started. i’m usually a sucker for cringefest bls but this one is just lame. everything feels extremely draggy.
this series was underwhelming minus the romance. i feel like they could’ve done much more story wise. we went through 14 eps of them trying to tackle “societal issues” just to say the change in future will eventually fix it. we had clear villians todd and tawi yet they didn’t add much to the story. i like the direction they went for, but this had much more potential.
i actually liked how they handled the lita arc? honestly to me it would seem weird if she just let it slide as if it was nothing, thyme was her first love who changed her perspective of everything. the whole scene with her parents and flashbacks was amazing.
i liked the breakup scene (even tho they never dated lol) but gorya calling thymes people on him was a bit too out of character. but i guess the betrayal will be what leads thyme to date lita. next episode will be so good!! i can not wait. the rainbow after the storm definitely comes next episode.
just rewatched the last episode again. i can’t believe we got such a cheesy ending to this series. it was all top tier until episode 11 for me and im gonna pretend the series ended there with an open ending.
what an anticlimactic ending to a rather excellent series. just liked the scene where prans mom just silently smiles and accepts them.
however, i will not let this change the fact i really really enjoyed this series overall. what a damn rollercoaster from ep 1 to the last ep. p’aof really does have the best bls on his hands. everything about bad buddy was memorable.
I see people, especially now after bad buddy is airing, criticising ATOTS and how there was no love, it was melodramatic…
I genuinely don’t get the comparing. These two are such different shows with different tones. Both the shows are great in their own way but ATOTS was far more revolutionary imo and actually raised the standards for the BL shows.
just watched the series upto episode 5. this series is so amazing, such a shame it's only 6 episodes! my favorite japanese bl for sure. the plot was amazing and straight to point. can't wait for the last episode. truly wishing there was more.
