Did anyone watch the Behind the Scenes? You mean they could have had Boss Thanawat as BBomb? And they didn't pick him?

I came here to check if the whole episode was like this. I'm glad I did and saved myself a bunch of time. Last ep could have worked as a finale with a few adjustments. Why is everyone wearing the same shirt? And why black? Everyone's hair is different, so some time has passed. And in the Behind the Scenes, why are Eak & Phob in the same bed? What happened to THAT scene? Actually, it looked like almost everyone was there.

Trying my best to be positive: At least it wasn't people texting each other. I'm shallow so I scanned through to see if anyone took a shower, but nope.

The subtitles are up now, and it doesn't help much.

It has Kaleb Ong, at least. I also had the trip/catch/stare thing that BLs apparently can't do without. The only other name I recognize is Axl Romeo, who could probably be impressive with a good director Three couples in ten 25-min episodes makes me worried, but an efficent script can definitely make it work.

Watching the anime does give me greater respect for this adaptation, but they had to be nuts to try to squeeze that into 6 short eps. It needs at least twice that. For example, the broken string in the LA seemed ridiculous to me, but it was perfect in the anime, and you can see where all the characters are coming from (except Akihito, which is a good choice). Also, I wish they'd cast someone more Akihiko-ish for Akihiko. The actor is doing a great job, but I feel like I should be drooling whenever he's onscreen. I'm attracted to the anime Aki and he's just a cartoon.

I wasn't prepared for how much better the anime is than this is. I thought it would be about the same, but it's not.

Oh, I didn't think about a sequel. Is there going to be a sequel? That would make me relax quite a bit.

I tried to join crunchy roll when this series started but I couldn't. Maybe there was something wrong, but it worked just now. Thanks!

I agree that everything progressed too quickly to be realistic. But Marco has spent a lot of time with Bas, and very intense quality time - I don't think there's anything wrong with him feeling love that quickly. He's a guy. It's what we do. :)

That was Kaji's bf? I thought that guy said he was seeing someone else.

Is that what he said? I assume the gist of that was "then go kill yourself". In English that translation (Would you die for me?) makes it an abstract question, like "if a car was going to run over me, would you push me out of the way and get hit yourself instead?" (Which is a very relevant question in BL - the death rate by being struck by cars is extremely high!)

I've been loving this series - but I found this last episode tiresome. Strings break constantly - it's an absolutely trivial problem, and it's inconceivable that nobody had any spares. There are compartments all over the intside of the guitar case specifically to hold them.

And the chances of a band going to final rehearsal without having heard the song they're playing is nil. No chance. This doesn't have to be totally realistic, but people still have to behave like people.

Why are we introducing all these new characters so late in the game? There's only one episode left! Do we care who this person Akihito is sleeping with is? There's only one episode left!

I'm getting tired of watching Mafuyu sulk, and I'm exhausted by nobody ever saying what they're feeling - the mood of this is too dark with no relief. There's no shadow without light.

I don't mind being aggravated by an ep - if it produces an emotional reaction, it's working. But this was aggravating because it was tiresome and boring and every time an ad came on I considered just closing the tab.*

*And before anyone says it, I don't use an ad blocker. If I turn it on, I'll forget and then not be supporting BLs that depend on ads.

No, it's a discussion forum where we express our opinions, Everyone here is pro LGBTQ+ and in favor of more representation in maintream media. How many homophobes do you think are reading this? This is not a commercial, and it's not a political party. If you can't stand opinions that are different from yours, why are you here? And why do you get to judge what's "Responsible" and what's not? Or what's "toxic" and what's not? It's a lot more toxic to criticize actual human being like you're doing here than it is to criticize points about a piece of light entertainment.

I think people are hating on the characters - nobody has said they're bad actors. But I have been pretty astonished at the level of hostility toward Ait & James. Last ep James directly threatened Tee if he ever touched Bas again, so one can't really say he hasn't done anything, and Ait has every reason to be upset - a person he considers a friend that he trusts betrayed him in an act that could have gotten both him and James fired - and he doesn't know where Bas is mentally & emotionally. Sometimes BL audiences expect perfection in their characters, and are totally unforgiving of any human flaws, as if any of them are pefect either.

I was afraid to watch that, but it was more or less OK, although that was an incredibly fast healing process. Then again, 6 inches of Marco goes a long way...

I think Marco could get someone pregnant with just his voice.

Bas needed to feel loved. I don't have a problem with him wanting to do that. Marco probably shouldn't have, but anyone would be a bit revved up seeing Bas come out of the shower, and it might have set Bas of if Marco rejected him. Plus, I'm trying to imagine any scenario where Marco is in my bed and I don't touch him, and I can't see any. It isn't aloways going for ratings to have a love scene. That is a normal part of adult relationships. At least it felt like a real sex scene instead of the usual BL seme treating the uke like a delicate 19th c porcelain doll and gingerly putting him in a box.

What I thought was going too far was Bas being suddenly ready to take on Tee. I think it would take a lot more work to get him there.

But, with only six episodes, there's really not time for realism - Bas should spend a long period of time in a hospital under observation.

I suspect that the actor playing Marco can't drive - it would be cheaper to just use a car than to bother with a green screen. Or whatever that was.

Bas more or less told Marco what he was going to do, and 95/100 times, a person in that state behaves with a sense of peace and calm, not that level of emotion. It felt a little like a cry for help. Normally though, true, it's a little harder to heal someone than to just f@#$ them. If that were the case, it would be a lot more fun to be a psychologist.

But there's only 6 episodes, so there's no time to hospitalize Bas and wait six months for him to recover, so that's where we are...

I thought there might at least be a plot, even if it were a bad one.

I'm not ashamed to admit that even after I gave up in the middle of this episode I still ff's through the rest of it in case of such an eventuality. And I'll probably do that for the rest of the eps.

Oh. It's about cooking. Not vampires. Sigh.

Just kidding - I'm looking forward to this one. And Gameplay.

Well, so far, the entire episode has been discussion about moving from Leo's gigantic palace into Leo's somewhat smaller gigantic palace. I still think they should sell one and use the proceeds to end poverty, or maybe replant the entire world's forests, but the rich gotta be rich. However, this is fantastically boring to watch. And now they're discussing consent issues. About hugs. And now Mr. Sleep With Anyone is acting like a 12-year old Victorian virgin again. This isn't cute. It's stupid. Are these college-aged men, or primary school kids?

And now Fiat is saying Leo's brother should act like a grown man, when he hasn't even once himself - in fact he says it because he's jealous of his bf's brother, who he's now whining about and hitting with a pillow.

Fiat is a horrible and seflish person, and there is no plot, just people talking about boring things and trying to be cute and failing miserably. To tons of silly sound effects. And now he's worried that Leo will think he's horny. Yes, if there's anything that will disappoint a 20-year old man, it's that someone wants to have sex with him.

I thought TT2 was terrible, but I at least made it through 2 eps - this I can't bear even that long.

This is a really great review, but 9.5 is not a "mixed review" rating, it's OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. (capitalized for humor). Maybe you're just much nicer than me, but I got 7-8 vibes from your review.
