Junjou Romantica 12 (end) - Can’t tell if it was a happy one or not.

June 29th, 2008 | Category: Junjou Romantica

Flavor: Mild

Whoa, well, this was the last episode… but it’s like it feels the show ended with no closure whatsoever because of the random story they decided to choose as the final story of the series. I kinda expected them to create an original ending for the anime like they usually do, but then I thought about how making up a finale for a series like this in a single episode could only result in disaster, so I guess I’m sorta glad they didn’t go for that direction.

Junjou Romantica 11 - Terrorist Uke.

June 23rd, 2008 | Category: Junjou Romantica


This could be dangerous.

Flavor: Mild

The end of the Junjou Terrorist introductory arc. Didn’t like it as much as last’s week episode since it was a bit more serious and less funny, though I guess the drama moments weren’t nearly as annoying as the ones from Junjou Egoist IMO.

Anyways, everything that happened on this last part of the story can be summarized in “Miyagi reminisces about his past relationship with his female teacher who eventually died because of an illness” and “Shinobu remains a forceful uke”. My favorite scene was when Miyagi asked Hiroki for some advice and when he began talking to him about his current situation through a “what-if” scenario, Hiro noticed it sounded awfully similar to what Nowaki and him had experienced before. Then Miyagi told him something like “But what if we aren’t talking about a girl, but a GUY instead?” and that’s when Hiro totally freaked out because he really thought he was trying to make fun of him or something.

Junjou Romantica 09 - Shotas in love.

June 08th, 2008 | Category: Junjou Romantica


Fortunately, there wasn’t any kind of sex in this episode.

Flavor: Sweet

Well, this episode pretty much covered the first three chapters of the manga’s side story called Junjou Minimum. The only chapter they missed was the last one where we get to see a shota Misaki and a young Takahiro. The final scene after the credits where Misaki checks Akihiko’s computer while the guy is sleeping and there he discovers a folder with a bunch of photos from his childhood days was actually how that fourth chapter started in the manga.

Anyways, I guess it was a really cute episode and it was nice to see how Hiroki and Usami met. It sorta loses its cuteness factor when you think about how things ended up between these two after all those years, but it was still good nonetheless. It looks like all this time the only one who really fell in love was Hiro… and even if Usami was the one who kissed him, hugged him and let him hold his hands, he never realized Hiroki’s feelings for him, or maybe he just completely ignored them because during that time he was already infatuated with Misaki’s brother. ^^;

Next episode: Finally… Junjou Terrorist!?

Junjou Romantica 08 - Protect yer ukes.

May 31st, 2008 | Category: Junjou Romantica


Sad Usami is sad.

Flavor: Sweet

A new Misaki x Akihiko episode, hurray! This one didn’t feel as comedic as the previous ones, but it was fun nonetheless.

Well, the story basically started last week since, after the credits, they showed the scene where Misaki’s brother talks over the phone with Usami and tells him… that he’s planning on taking Misaki away from him! After the kid hears about this, he gets kinda shocked but he doesn’t really seem to understand why he feels like that. Usami doesn’t say anything about it either so Misaki ends up going to his onii-chan’s place in Tokyo after all.

Junjou Romantica 06 - Lonely.

May 17th, 2008 | Category: Junjou Romantica


Sad guys in the rain.

Flavor: Sour

The continuation from last week’s BL drama fest. I guess I should start by admitting that I didn’t really enjoy this arc. Like I’ve said before, I’m no yaoi fangirl so I guess that must be the reason of why a boys love romance dramatic story doesn’t really manage to capture my interest.

Anyways, this episode begins with Nowaki’s professor asking him to come with him to the airport since he needs to meet some dude there. When they arrive, Nowaki can’t stop thinking of what he told Hiroki about meeting with him at a restaurant to have a chat, and when he realizes that he’s gonna be late for the date he decides to abandon his professor and runs away. Unfortunately, when he arrives he doesn’t find Hiro-san since he had left the place a while ago.
