I'm watching this alongside rewatching the OG and altough the cast here is not bad at all the acting in the first…
Yes, the scripting here is lacking and direction is the big misfire. All those long pauses. The director uses 45 shots when 2 would suffice. It makes everything drag and the poor actors are left holding poses for unnaturally long times. When they actually get to "act" they are fine, but they clearly don't know what to do for the 30 seconds in between each line.
Eh. An okay beginning. I'm tired of people who don't answer direct questions in BL. Such an over-used trope. Since it's short, I might give it a shot but not holding out too much hope.
Hi Everyone: Just a reminder. There was something called TELEVISION before streaming. You watched ONE episode per week and ALWAYS had to wait 7 days til the next. Typical shows had 13-26 episodes, so... you watched for 3-6 months (quite often with long breaks in between for Holiday shows, specials, Olympics, etc. ) And you couldn't rewatch it until they played a rerun. HORRORS! Life is not about instant gratification. Just wait a few days and the next episode will come out. It's called ANTICIPATION. It'll make you shiver (as Frank N Furter). Just sit back, relax and enjoy.
Yes it looks fun in ep1, but do we really need more School based BLs?The MLs are all aged 25-30Can GMMTV please…
BL's are primarily targeted at high school audiences, so we will NEVER leave High School/College (with the occasional foray into adult LGBTQ+ territory).
BTW - Can we talk about Isumi's wardrobe? Despite everything being oversized and making him look like he was SWALLOWED by his sweaters, he looked like he could be on a runway. So stylish.
I enjoyed the first episode. Earth is a great dramatic actor, but I find his comedy waaaaay too over the top for my tastes. His whining, pouting and extreme facial expressions seem so fake to me. At least this time his character seems like a 12 year old instead of an 8 year old.
The boys all look great. So happy to see Mix, but wish he had a bigger role. Would love for Foam to have a love interest. Bas has improved so much. He deserves another shot at a lead role.
But all in all, this just feels every other college series. Not sure I'll stick this one out.
Decent performances, but some truly laughable plot developments. The worst fight sequences I have ever seen (or rather, not seen, just heard). But Milk is so damn cute.
Thankfully I found a good sub, because the first one I watched was IMPOSSIBLE to follow. Watched a 2nd time with a better sub and got so much more out of it. Thank you fansubbers.
It's interesting watching this given the cultural barrier. Like, it seems Mishima and Kirino are supposed to be…
This is set in the 1990s. I saw a "warning" that some of the language may be out-dated. Trans-awareness in Japan in the 90s was probably not as advanced.
So cute. I loved Isumi-kun. What a great character and Koki played him perfectly. Very slight and not a lot happened, but was filled with tenderness and care. I'll watch again.!
