I don't know why this one hit me so hard. I watched this for the first time around four or five years ago, I think. I've re-watched this and re-watched this. I've read and re-read fanfiction about them. I made a fanfiction.net account (I prefer ao3) specifically to find more fanfics about this show, and have read and re-read them. I've tried and tried to find an english translation of the manga. I will never be able to let go of them.
This is the first thing I think of when I'm asked about a comfort show.
The stupidest thing I've ever watched. First of all, am I getting this right? Was a rabbit narrating this whole…
First, I was under the impression they fell asleep after they had threesome. Maybe that's because (as an asexual) I prefer fade to blacks or hard cuts out of sex scenes. Second, sex is not needed for a happy romantic relationship. They all clearly have romantic feelings for each other, even if they didn't have their threesome, making the decision to have one can be a big decision, let alone to actually have one, for some people. The fact that they even made the choice that they want to have one at some point, should at least count for something, I think.
I've seen a few comments talking about how the characters have no chemistry, and I simply disagree. I thought the three were such a cute throuple and had so much fun with this show!
The concept of "secondary genders" in omegaverse has the potential to generate an environment in which…
I also don't have an intention for a heated debate, I just wanted to quickly add this on.
I do get where you're coming from. I feel like secondary genders are in a sense just normal gender stereotypes on crack. That's why I feel like when it comes to omegaverse it can be very 50/50 on whether it'll be consensual cuddle pile or non-con trash. with this genre it heavily depends on the author on how your experience is gonna go.
I think since I'm a person that doesn't read smut of any kind (I'm a sex repulsed ace) and I automatically filter out the sexual tags I've been more on the lucky side in terms of omegaverse things I've read, so I can understand when others simply stay away from the genre.
Okay, I haven't watched this show, but I've been scrolling through the comments and there's a lot of discourse over omegaverse and I'm here with my opinions.
Omegaverse does NOT inherently romanticize abuse or SA. Are there people who've made omegaverse content that romantacize that? Yes. But there are people who do that in all types of genre's so telling people that's all the omegaverse genre is is misleading.
There are plenty of omegaverse works out there that are wholesome and abuse/SA free. I personally read omegaverse fanfics and every time I have, I've filtered out all the sexual and abuse related tags. There's plenty out there that take the genre and explore how the societal norms with "secondary genders" would be and push those norms. Or take them and flip them on it's head. For example the ones I read the main form of intimacy in them are fully consensual cuddles and physical touch.
There are people also saying that the whole genre is Alpha= angry, overprotective, big and Omega= small, weak, cute or whatever. But if they had done more than skim the genre on let's say for example AO3, they would have seen so many of the descriptions are something along the lines of "Everyone always thought [Character Name] would be an [second gender] but then they presented as [opposite second gender]" There are people who like to take the whole every secondary gender has certain traits aspect and flip that around too.
I understand there's a large amount, especially the ones that are focused on by those outside of the readers of the genre, that romanticize abuse/SA and I don't support those works. But saying that the entire genre is only that is like saying the entire BL genre romanticizes SA because you saw a handful of them that do.
I'm not here to argue about this, just wanted to maybe give a few people some insight and I hope I did.
I find it hilarious that Akafuji's entire apartment is one big shrine to Hajime and his only reaction to seeing it was basically just, "oh cool, he's a fan :D"
Is that in character? Yes. Is it still wild he didn't hightail it and zoom in the opposite direction? Also yes.
Okay, I usually don't comment on here, but I just finished this show and, although it's not the best, I do just wanna talk about this for a sec. I see a lot of people saying that there wasn't any BL and they were upset about it and yada yada but I honestly disagree. I think because there are so many BL's now everyone thinks that the two leads have to be all over each other or at the very least be kissing all the time or whatever, I don't know. All I know is the two lead characters were obviously falling in love with each other. The closets were made of glass but for some reason nobody noticed. I mean the two don't have to be kissing and making out or whatever to be in love or whatever.
I personally liked how they handled it, they made it obvious to me. Also, the two are literally in life-or-death situations pretty much all the time, so they probably don't have the time to mull over their feelings much. I have the feeling they wanted to do the "leave it for interpretation while the two are literally in love" route if that makes sense. I don't know this is just how I saw them, I just wanted to rant about it.
I ended up binging this it's SO GOOD!! I loved it! I ended up dropping the Kdrama a few episodes in when I started it, it just didn't catch my attention. I think it's because I watched the American one first and they seem very similar, but this one is very different from it and I love it. Just a few episodes in and I already liked it better than the 5 seasons I watched of the American one. I am absolutely a fan of the no romance that we get from this one, it's so refreshing to just have a romance-free show! Highly recommend.
I have talked to someone who tried to argue that Peem should have haunted Mike instead of Mean, but Mean outed the outed both Mike and Peem. I understand Mike shouldn't have cheated, but nobody should be outed. He got what he got, and I'm fine with it. I also think Peem should have haunted the hell out of both of them, but that's just me.
