| This is the first BL anime I've ever watched and I have to say that this first episode was really good. It held my interest, the main character is adorable, and the story seems really good. Even though Ryōma doesn't know that Izumi is a guy yet, the scenes between them and the kiss was very romantic! Definitely going to finish watching the whole season. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| really amazing !!! as expected !! I watched it with a wide smile in my face（≧∇≦）! & DAIGO's vaoice made me go asdfghjkl all the time >\<!! can't wait for next episode ! |
| this story really isnt cliche at all and barely has any fan service. As a straight male i find this shit refreshing SolvyTwerk4Jesus said: holy fuck man, the art in this show is amazing. The character designs are amazing. They are effectively the same designs from Code Geass but with better colors. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| SO WELL ANIMATEDDDD finnAAALLY ONE OF MY FAV YAOIS ANIMATED VOICES, GRAPHICS 10/10 I LOVED IT. the plot i already love it and know about it ofc. |
| He happened to be a girl as a sub in the CM, and the experience frightens him to enter entertainment career. He's interested in drawing manga but is not good. 10 years later sequel CM made him act as female again and that actor really thought of him as a girl!! lol~ older brother, vocalist of the Rick band and by DAIGO, understands his younger brother!!(alarm with voice of the character) |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
-Kurisuta- said: ikr i think the same. :Shougo's voice doesn't fit his character at all. Hope I can get used to it, but I doubt it. It was a very cute first episode, enjoyed it a lot. WITH JUST 10 EPIS I THINK THEY WILL NOT DO REIXSHOUGO BUT THERE'S STILL HOPPPEE |
| I'm so glad it was adapted well. I'm going to need to get used to Shougo's voice for a bit I'm sure it'll grow on me eventually but for now it's just okay. I'm just a tad bit disappointed that it'll only be 10 episodes though. |
I normally shy away from BL because it's often too angsty for me (Or maybe I'm just awful at finding the right kind for me), but when a friend recommended this as a more comedic romance I jumped at the chance and now I've become entirely too infatuated. The MC is absolutely adorable it makes me so giddy! Seeing him dressed as a girl, ahhh...  But enough gushing, I was actually kind of impressed with the animation, and the story seems pretty interesting so I'm excited for more, but I don't really have anything solid to make any judgements with just yet. |

| It looks so good, my eyes were climaxing the whole time. And the premise isn't overused or worn-out so it's a pretty great start. It felt like the show was so short; I need more....but I don't want to read the manga until it's done publishing. [spoiler]  |

| Although I'm into BL, I didn't read this manga for some reason. So the anime is very refreshing to me, very very. LOL. I thought there might be a kiss scene, too!!! I love the parents a lot! |
| O.O i never thougth i would like a Ai series i dint expected it to be Ai XD overall i like the animation and i think i will like the series to XD |
| Yes, I've been waiting for this since 2011!! Izumi's voice actor is great, girly but not too girly. lol at Nagisa and Rei. I love that the art style is similar to the manga. All these beautiful colors are too much for me~ They're not gonna air anything explicit but I do hope they keep some of the scenes considering they're kinda important to the plot and characters. Censored sure but not completely removed. I hope they show some Rei x Shouga but I doubt it ;w; Sad to see it's 10 episodes instead of 12 though. Wonder how much they'll be adapting. 5/5 |
| I really do love romance series, I really do. If I keep exercising the fact that Izumi looks and acts like a chick, then I think I'll be good on this series. The character designs are excellent and are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. No complaints there. I really hope we get to see Izumi crossdress into a girl more. That alone makes this show a lot better in my opinion. |

| i`m a straight man yet i enjoy the first episode i`m not the only one right? |
 |
| This is my guilty pleasure of the season, 'nuff said. 9/10 |
 |

In all seriousness though I can't help but wonder what anime has done to me to make me enjoy a BL series this much. |

| wow what the actual fuck the art/animation is fucking amazing, like I didn't notice ANY sloppy scenes at all props for that, will definitely keep watching just for that o-o |
| I've never read the manga, thought it was a pretty cute episode though. Looking forward to seeing how things go when it is all revealed. :D |
 |
| I love the animation! Very clean and those eyes...OoO Pretty good first episode so I'll continue watching, maybe read the manga too... I was surprised Izumi didn't change his voice though, I mean he sounded more like a guy so I thought other people would've noticed. |
 |
| That animation is truly amazing, so it's just wonderful to look at. Izumi is so pretty, he can't be a guy.. >: His voice is definitely male, though. I enjoyed the first episode and even though I'm not a huge fan of SA, I'm sure I'll like this show. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| "as a straight male" really guys are we doing this? lmao. |
| Wasn't really a fan of the manga and wasn't expecting to like this, but so far it's quite good! Hopefully this'll be one of the better BL anime out there :) Still not a huge fan of the art style but the colors are pretty, esp the way they colored the eyes. |
| Didn't expect to love this so much. It was great. Definitely deserves that 8.05 it has so far. Fun characters, well paced plot, solid comedy, beautiful art too. What more could I ask for? And damn, this might be the first good (or above) BL series I've seen so far. Sekaiichi's s2 was just borderline 7/10 and that mermaid OVA was good too, but I've never seen a good series. Definitely rooting for the main pair. They are adorable. Not even like sex-filled romance but just fluffy, cute romance so far. |
Aurorae said: "as a straight male" really guys are we doing this? lmao. Yes we do :D As a straight male I'm here because of the trap. Traps are not gay! :d |
| This is one of those BL mangas that I'm so happy was put into a show! Rather than JUST being about smut, the storyline/comedy were refreshing and enjoyable as well! I can't wait to see where they go with everything! |

| I'm not usually into these types of things, but I'll make an exception for this. It WAS entertaining, funny and different. I just hope that things don't escalate to the point of sexual intentions. |
Uber_Dewber said: I just hope that things don't escalate to the point of sexual intentions. Well... I mean it *is* a shounen-ai.. |
Amarae said: I suppose so, possibility of this being dropped later on if it dumb's down on the humor and focuses an immense, noticeable amount more on the boy love. Who knows, maybe my opinion will change within the next few episodes.. maybe it'll be just THAT entertaining that I won't even care.Uber_Dewber said: I just hope that things don't escalate to the point of sexual intentions. Well... I mean it *is* a shounen-ai.. |
mechamith said: Oh okay, I'm more than cool with that then, makes sense. I expect to feel a little uncomfortable through a(lot?) few bits of this series either way, but it's all a part of the experience.Uber_Dewber said: I'm not usually into these types of things, but I'll make an exception for this. It WAS entertaining, funny and different. I just hope that things don't escalate to the point of sexual intentions. If your worried about seeing graphic sex- I wouldn't count on it. I could be wrong, but I think the show is airing at a normal time slot. What I mean is, its not marketed as adult content. So I highly doubt there will be anything to the level of outright porn. At most, it might be implied. But normally its less than you see in even an R-rated American film. |
| Thread cleaned. Removed some spam posts. OT: I finally got around to watching the episode. Really enjoyed it, it's also my first shounen ai in a long time. Some of the face designs look really weird (Ryouma) but overall it's really well done, I like Izumi being all cute and shy about crossdressing. |
| Wow it was drawn a lot better than I was expecting. Definitely going to keep watching if the quality stays like this. Not much else to say for now.. |
| I just realized, I've totally read the manga before but have forgotten.. Ahh so excited. Can't wait for the next episode :-). |
  |
| this is the first gay anime i have ever watch pretty good, but it was so gay, though i like sena (hope he was a girl -_-) |
