Junjou fans, rejoice.

Junjou Romantica gets a new season. Apparently, it airs in October. Looking forward to it, I guess.

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.

This could be dangerous.

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.

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

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!?

Sad Usami is sad.

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.
