yes.
for the first 2 seasons the subtitles on the streaming sites like myasiantv/dramacool/kissasian are actually from mugenclub.
after that the movie subs were locked behind the lj comm.
I hope by this point the streaming sites at least updated their subs with the netflix subs

its a moderated livejournal community. I just checked their page and they're currently in the process of moving the community to dreamwidth, so subtitles are unavailable

flop sequel

as a disclaimer I had no problems with the main actress change. I was actually looking forward seeing the OG Natsu actress because she did very well in the 1st ep of season 1.

While I'm still in awe at the worldbuilding of the AOS universe, the imagination and creativity that went into creating this, unfortunately in season 2 the writing was very disappointing, characterization and plot wise.

I knew the amnesia plot would suck ass but I was hoping it wouldn't get dragged out for almost the entire season.
What a way to ruin an interesting female character by taking away everything that made her interesting in season 1 and replacing it with bland and boring. Her "bitches get shit done" attitude was nowhere to be found in season 2.

As for the romance, it felt like I was watching a different couple because Amnesiac Natsu had a whole new personality. Everything that I liked about the main couple dynamic is completely gone in season 2.

Only reason I didn't drop was because Park Jin and Maidservant Kim were too adorable together and I just wanted to see Jin Mu get SKEWERED

thank you for writing this review because it saved me from writing one of my own. You wrote exactly how I feel about season 2

Johnny's got a bootleg version ready in case something happens to their IT boy Sho

aside from the SA allegations, I just never liked him as an actor. very mediocre nepotism kid

truly praying he improved his acting since POL 💀

initially I was very hype about this show, now I have to decide whether the pros (everything else) outweigh the cons (ansel)

I was touched more by the siblings than the couple. watching nagayama kento desperately trying to help his sister then the realization he can't do anything was heartbreaking 😢

out of all the potatoes in the world it had to be ansel elgort 🤦‍♀️😒
fml

Akiha: please explain it to me clearly
Shu: *proceeds to do the exact opposite*
🤦‍♀️ this mofo beyond frustrating

IWGP

took me a few episodes to get over the FL's horrible styling, it ages her like 15 years. they did Takahata Mitsuki so dirty 😞

YES! The Worst will have a movie sequel this year

I had to turn my eyes away from Hira and focus on Kiyoi's face. At least he was enjoying it. A lot. 😳
