giving a blind eye towards everyone in the comment section... this shit is GREAT. I love the framing of the scenes- something about the lingering shot of rice dropping from Kazuma's chopsticks, or the way the table legs are blurry in the foreground when they're on the floor. the blunt and straightforwardness of the dialouge is extrememly manga/novelistic and I love it
the more I watch of this I, just... there is SO much love. they are one big ragtag family, and Sakurai is the best step-up brother anyone could ask for. and I will and cannot get over the fact Sakurai and Suzuki... just... stare at eachother with fond and heartaching eyes for a solid 10 seconds with no diaglouge... ALL OF THE TIME? there are so many people aruging about bromance in this comment section, but all I have to say is that the damn romantic music that's starts playing every time Sakurai and Suzuki stare at eachother... this is gay as hell lol. if Suzuki was a woman, 100% there would be romance: and Sakurai LITERALLY said that exact statement.
all I'm saying is that Sakurai 100% kisses the homies goodnight. plus, he's a certified Good Boy™!
there is so much passion inside of this little show, you can tell just by the way they angle some of the shots. it did well for the budget it had, and the actors were wonderful. I wish I was in their menagerie of a class; watching the last 2 minutes of the last episode literally made me feel like I graduated with them. lol.
they changed some things from the manga, but it's still so well done that I think they got Mita Ori's introspection and permission for it. and that kiss... fuck. it was so sweet. the nerves, Minrou pressing more into it (I have a feeling it was Yutaka's first). this entire piece of media is just so hfdshlskhgf. damn you, Mita Ori.
In the manga, the kiss is never said to be on the mouth, or on the cheek. Somehow it being on the cheek makes it so much more... GYAHH. I really do think Minoru would have kissed him on the cheek instead, he's that kind of gentle (and nervous) person.
