Not that I bother about MDL ratings much (generally absurd), but this one started above 8 and has been gradually dropping. I cannot help but think that once again the kiddos downscore it because they hate Ritsu's personality. Sandbox level.
Started this out of boredom with zero expectations, especially because I'm not a fan of Seto's acting (he's a…
Finally someone. Yes, Ritsu is a selfish and uncaring person, but he was totally upfront about it from the beginning. He told Masumi straight away tha he did not wanna maintain a relationship, because that is too complicated for him. Masumi was even warned by his club mate that Ritsu was seducing one girl after another in his clubs. Yet Masumi went along with him because he thought he could change him. But Ritsu never promised him love or fidelity. Yes, filming the sex with him was a jerk move, but he had no intention to publish it and out Masumi, he only threatened Masumi with that because he was stalked by him. I would say Ritsu likes or probably even loves Masumi in his own way, but he is just not capable of giving monogamous and selflessly caring love to anybody. But at least he is honest about it.
I have double-chekcked the sub of episode 2 on Viki and the one on the illegal site (which posted episode 2 with subs last week), and they are exactly the same. So it menas the Viki sub has been leaked.
"I've got an answer from Viki : "We revised the rating up to R18 due to the sex scenes.". That was all, so I presume they won't cut the sex scenes. We shall see on Sunday night ! Have a nice week-end, everybody !"
Thank god the translations from Viki are always better than GagaOOLala
Not always. I am a subber on Viki and I frequently compare theirs and Gaga’s. For Eternal Yesterday and My Tooth Your Love Gaga subs were quite often better. For the first season of Utsukushi Kare the Gaga subs were spectacularly and infamously bad though. I hope they have learnt from the criticism. Viki subs btw are never the final one at airing time.
Imho Given was the best adaptation of manga/anime to live action I have ever seen despite some plot simplifications. These attempts usually fail because the creators want to recreate the unique OTT style of those, but they never travel well to the screen and they don’t work with humans. Miki wisely chose not to do this.
I know that 98% of the MDL board is obsessed with the goddamned kisses up to the point that nothing else really matters, but I belong to the remaining 2%. When I said his trademark I meant his uniqe and original subject matters, his storytelling, his very characteristic camerawork, his use of angles and colours, lights and darkness, the highly emotional content and his slick way of bringing out powerhouse performances from his cast. He generalély comes up with trumps in all those aspects, so i don't give a feck about kisses. I like raunchy stuff when it comes but I am not watching BL as a substitute for porn.
There was no drama. Someone said it does not rank among his best and they might drop it. I said bye. Why they delete their comment is beyond me. Btw it is not surprising for me, I see his trademarks clearly.
Hey can u tell me do u get written dialogues or do u just like hear it and then sub it?
Like I said Viki is getting the shows with English subtitles in the first place. We are translating it to a third foreign language from English. That is how Vikis shows are multisubbed.

Viki is airing its productions with English subtitles and everyone translates by that. We do not receive the subs in file format - although it is downloadable. Viki has an integrated subtitling system, and we are using that one.
Gaga subs tend to be subpar but for Japanese content is especially lacking.Viki doesn't have a single BL available…
Actually it is different in each case. I was subbing Eternal Yesterday on Viki, and I constantly compared the two subs, because sometimes Gaga was way better.
I am subbing this on Viki, and I have already asked the channel manager whether it is going to be a cut version there. She said it is R18, so then it is unlikely but who knows. She asked the Viki staff and comes back to me once she knows the answer.
