| I'm reading the manga too and that first episode was perfectly adapted. Many people won't watch because of the shonen-ai tag which is kinda sad since the story is much more than that... |
 |
| Had to write a paper for the university the whole day BUT NOW I WILL WATCH IT X'D |
| To be honest I wouldn't mind if Super Lovers didn't go for the romance route and just let the 2 main characters deepen their brotherly bond. So far it would even feel more natural but I'm interested to know how their relationship will develop in the future. Ren is pretty cute and has a pretty dark past. Wonder what really happened with him at the orphenage. |
 |
| OMG <3, RenxHaru so cute couples T___T *nosebleeds* I like Haru though the beautiful green eyes <3... And the ending scene :/... could that be some tragic happened to his family? :( I'm quite curious now. |

It's a shame marrow-minded individuals will miss out on series like From the New World, Ajin, Knights of Sidonia and Super Lovers over ridiculous, petty reasons like CGI and shounen-ai. |

I think more people are turned off by Ren and Haru's age difference. It screams Boku no Pico to many people. |

| Cute episode. I forgot everything that happened in the manga so this is a nice refresher. |

| Just as expected~ I'm glad to have finally seen an animated version of this manga. I'm surprised as how many people is scandalized by the kiss wasn't by any means intended to be romantic or sexual. I thought it was adorable. That scenery is gorgeous as well. Good start! I'm looking forward to see grown up Ren. |
| Hmmm the age difference is a bit... for me. But I didn't see anything too wrong with the kiss. I kiss my mom even now as an adult. I'm sure it happened as a kid too. Well, I'm not dropping it, this is part of my challenge to try new genres. |
waterfallsxo said: I think more people are turned off by Ren and Haru's age difference. It screams Boku no Pico to many people. Yeah, probably does. I mean I do get it, though it seems ridiculous personally for people to compare Super Lovers to Boku no Pico. That's just me tho, so w/e. People are entitled to feel how they feel about an anime. It's just animation after-all. |
| now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe |
| lol the welgreens aspirin. This episode was cute...ren is freaking adorable. It has been a while since I read the manga so I really do not remember much about what happens. |

| I don't get the problem people have in this thread. Even so called fujoshis seem to have a problem with this show. Why? I already wrote it months ago when Super Lovers anime adaption was announced: Episode 1 is probably (except for flashbacks) the only time we see Ren in his child form. I don't consider this a spoiler because the PV hinted at it: there is a time skip. So please spare us with your shotacon alert. Thank you. If you like Love Stage!! or Nakamura's elementary school drawings then feel free to do so. I only know that a lot of fans of the genre are glad that once in a while a good yaoi manga is made into an anime. This happens rare enough. We not celebrate it? But all I hear is 'bleh bleh he is so young bleh creepy bleh i like gender benders more meh meh'. Please spare us. Oh and yes: Episode 1 definitely 5 out of 5 creepy shotacon teddy bears! Over and out. |

Why? i've never watched boku no picos and i didn't expect a bed scene and then KISS scene damn god Then please NEVER watch Boku no Pico. Even in the Super Lovers manga you'll never see something as disgusting as in the first BnP OVA. To be correct there aren't even that much 'erotic scenes' in Super Lovers. The manga has - I think - 9 volumes in sale. And there are - approximately - 3 erotic scenes (I don't talk about explicit sex by the way). People should really give this title a chance. It is one of the few yaoi manga that actually has a plot. But many viewers will never come to the point where they like the plot because all the do is scream: 'eeh it's a kid and a man!1!111!'. This is not shotacon. PERIOD. |
| Are there still orphanages in Alberta? As Canadian all of this is really weird XD |

| I did find this to be pretty cute, but the age difference is a bit off putting. |

PERIOD. i read the sex scene in super loves manga already. its not as bad bc he's older. i am okay with 16 not okay with 8 it's completely okay and valid for anyone to be creeped out by episode 1 because he is legit SUPER YOUNG and UNDERAGED right now. luckily timeskip will happen. |

Yeah, will enjoy it every week, Thank you so much for this DEEN. :) |
atrophaneurae said: Helenus said: Nakamura's elementary school drawings QFT. But yeah, there's a time skip and then Ren's in high school, if I recall correctly? It's still quite an age gap but he's a teenager at least... (though he is small for his age so he looks perpetually 12 years old... =_=) That wasn't a problem when all these ReyxNagisa doujins popped up the inernet in 2013 while a certain swimming anime aired :D Splash free! I understand what you mean, though. |
Miketsukami said: I'm reading the manga too and that first episode was perfectly adapted. Many people won't watch because of the shonen-ai tag which is kinda sad since the story is much more than that... it was definitely adapted well. im happy about this ^~^ i think most ppl won't watch bc they think its shota. the anime cover gives off that vibe so can't blame em. wish ren in the anime looked a little more like he did in the manga as a teen. he seemed to have a slightly bigger build and looked like a high schooler |
| Can someone explain the family tree? How many parents does Haru have? |
| Definitely a cute episode with two brothers meeting each other and already have all those little cute moments, The ending song was so cute but that ending scene did not match with the cute ending song at all...! |
Sokah said: krazykillerkurt said: I don't think that it is shotacon. Their age gap is like 8 and I've seen women dating men 20 years older than them. Besides, they age; they're currently 16 and 24 in the manga I think. 16 and 24 is pedophilia most places in the world and will get you thrown in jail. Even just for watching it, let alone doing it. Although it's a boy being raped, not a girl so it's "romantic" rather than horrifying. "Although it's a boy being raped..." Uh there's no rape in the manga so I don't think any rape is going to happen in the anime. Ever heard of age doesn't matter? Sure it would matter if it was a naïve child and a sexual predator, but they are neither of these. They don't develop any love interest until Ren is a little older anyway. The things they do until then are just typical step-brothers stuff. |
I think that strangers are just friends you haven't met.  |
Miketsukami said: I'm reading the manga too and that first episode was perfectly adapted.

I recently got into liking Shounen-Ai with great plot. I wish people were more open-minded. I'm not even gay and yet I enjoy this. I've seen Love Stage and my girlfriend is suggesting I start watching Junjou Romantica. |
I think that strangers are just friends you haven't met. |
| One of my first shounen-ai, and it's actually pretty good. I really like the scenery, it's very pretty. And it's also quite rare to see something set in Canada. It's nice trying out anime out of my comfort zone. |

| Whoa, seeing my city and province (Calgary/Alberta) being mentioned in an anime is really weird. I assume they were in the mountains in Banff in this episode. Kinda cool. Nice episode, Ren is a cutie. Edit: Wait I lied, Banff is only an hour from Calgary and the anime says they drove for 3 and a half hours. Weird, even looking at a map I have no idea what part they might be in. I guess just somewhere in the mountains between Banff and Jasper (which is 5 hours away). |

| You know what, I'll give this a shot. If it gets to be too much for me, I''l drop it then. I tried BL a long time ago and never got into it. I tried GL however and got way too much into it. Not complaining btw. I ship a lot of Anime girls with each other now. xD Kind of funny huh? I'm a girl who doesn't like BL but loves GL. :3 Well anyways, I'll go watch it in a little while. I need to give more things a chance. |
 |
| Well at least that's better than eight years oldWow, just like Boku no Pico |

Thebigofan said: But the kiss wasn't even sexual or romantic. It was a brotherly kiss. Lol, brothers don't usually kiss, call the other cute or pretty, then fall asleep in each other's arms. |
| People get your mind out of the gutter, there's nothing sexual about that kiss. People are just saying it is because they know this is a shounen ai and automatically jump to the dirty. And bringing up age gap again as if they're not reading the manga where the romance happens much much later after the big time skip. And 16 vs 23 is not that big of a gap. Ever read Usagi drop? It's a lot like SL except instead of a 17 yo meeting with an adopted 10 yo little brother and develop romance years later, it's a 30-something man with a... 6-7 yo adopted girl. They too began to develop romance when the girl is in HS (16). Now that's an age gap. So why's SL get tons of 'omg pedophile' thrown at it? Simply because it's labeled yaoi/shounen ai; people automatically jump to the dirty. atrophaneurae said: Yeah, I thought it just seemed like Haru was playing a joke or something, I wouldn't even say it was brotherly lol. Kind of like a prank. It wasn't a big deal for me personally, but if some people feel uncomfortable, that's perfectly valid. Speaking of, he seemed to think it was natural for foreigner (Canadians/Americans?) to kiss family on the lips... Lu-Ru said: Can someone explain the family tree? How many parents does Haru have? His birth mother is Haruko, the woman who is living with Ren in Canada. The couple who greet him back in the airport in japan are his real father and step mother. |

| Just finished the first episode. It was fine I was guess. The fact that he just causally kissed a kid that he barely knows right away threw me off though. xD |
|
| It was interesting, the wolves and scenery were nice. I don't like how big the age gap is between the brothers though. |
| The art is so pretty. Haru's eyes and hair look great. Never read the manga beyond 1 chapter, excited to see more |
| This was cute, but also a little creepy for some reason... |

| My thoughts after watching the episode: 1.Shotacon and incest. I understand they will be older in next episodes and they are not real brothers but it still, it's bordering with illegal. I will ignore the issue though. The story seems decent and I like shounen-ai so I will be watching it. 2. It reminds me of Love Stage. Shougo and Izumis relationship in LS gave me the same feel as Haru and Ren in SL. Haru even looks like Shougo. I kinda like that. |
| I'm seriously laughing at all the people mentioning Boku no Pico. Sweet Jesus. I haven't read the manga so everything that's happening in the anime is new to me (my sister just read the series so I could ask her what might be coming up or just read it myself). The first episode was cute and I couldn't keep straigth face most of the time. Maeno fits Haru so well. It's so refreshing to hear him being more comical than serious (most of the roles I know are serious or just not that "goofy"). The age gap-thing isn't that bad. My mother was 16 when she started to date my dad who was 21 back then. In some countries such "big" age differences may appear as unpleasant or even scary, as by "standard" it is thought that people who end up together may have only a few years of age difference > greater age difference > may lead to thoughts about pedophilia and stuff. But then in some countries it's not that big deal. So, it's kinda 50-50 situation and I'm trying to understand "both sides". I don't mind the whole thing between Ren and Haru. They can be brothers or lovers, as long as they are happy. And we don't know if the anime will have the manga stuff happening in the end, but if it will happen (thanks to all these people noting about it), Ren will be 16. Don't know about other countries but at least in Finland it's the age of consent, so in my case everything's fine. |
| I'm really interested in Haru. He's really adaptable and his "family" seems pretty...crazy. It's strange how quickly he got adapted to Ren. Looks like their's a reason for that too. I don't see any pedophilia though? I've seen loads of kids get a quick kiss in primary and early secondary school by their parents and siblings. I've slept with my parents and my sister when I was younger. I stopped cause I move around a lot but my cousin who is 24 still sleeps with her parents sometimes. It was pretty meh overall though. A cute episode that was slightly different really. I'm sad they're not adapting hakkenden anymore... I really want to know what happens later. |
