Saigo no Door wo Shimero!

"Close the Last Door" is your average BL story, but very entertaining and curious in its own way.

It all starts in the usual desperation: "I am not gay and yet I love this man. Also, he just got married." From here, the story twitches amongst the groom, this unfortunate best man and one of the bride's friends.

What makes everything fun is that the situation is actually possible. The characters are also very real. Their trouble is actual and the ways they use to solve it are also expected from real humans. This is what turned an average male-on-male romance in an entertaining piece. The light humour and the pace of the speech also contribute to this.

The great annoyance of "Close the Last Door" is the diminute and almost forced love scenery, that doesn't seem to fit in the whole light-hearted mood. They are stuffed in the middle of other scenes and don't even show what I would have liked to see (and most fangirls, for what matters)

Still, it brings out some good laughs.

So basicly, like pretty much all yaoi anime this one involves make outs, temptations and some very yummy men. And of course, the whole "am i gay?" question that wanders around. Yet, hes knows it, they know it, and we know it.

The characters were good, made in the usual style.
But be warned, some part will make you squeal and others will make you want to punch the character in the face. Yes, you will find irritably confused men here.
Also, ALL the characters LOVE to get wasted, i found that a bit annoying.. shoot me, but drinking away your problems isn't the best way to convince yourself that your not gay.. when clearly.. you are.

Over all this one will leave you wanting more, too bad theres only one episode!

I wasn't expecting much from this anime, but it turned out to be quite good. It had a fair share of funny as well as serious moments.

STORY: 8

I think the story deserves an 8. Unlike many other BL anime I've watched, this plot actually makes sense. Even though it follows the cliché storyline of 'I'm-not-gay-it's-just-him' and 'My-unrequited-love-got-married', it still is unique in its own way.

Even though the anime is quite old, I find the art style kind of cute.
