Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru

The Night Beyond The Tricornered Window is undoubtedly my favorite BL anime. No offense on fans of other BLs, of course. But Tricornered Window is just so good, it has horror, mystery, and boy the fanservice is just right for me. (After finishing the anime, make sure that you read the manga! The anime may feel a bit rushed, and the manga would let you understand the plot a lot better.

Mikado Kousuke is the protagonist, he's a bookstore clerk who is a literal package. He's cool, cute, shy, brave, hot, and if you read the manga, then you'd see just how much of a husband ... material he is. (He makes many, 'interesting' faces while exorcising, 10/10 very erotic.)

Hiyakawa Rihito is Mikado's love interest. You may not like him during the early episodes, but when you reach the end of the series, you'd see that he's the softest boy that we all need to protect.

Oh yeah, they did all sort of exorcising stuff, tho I would say that the anime give off a different vibe compared to the manga. The anime is more, mysterious, sexual tension, and tense. The manga? Oh, boi, the comedy, extra chapters, and their slow and steady love development makes me feel all sorts of things. Lol, I just realized that I've been talking about the manga more than the anime. But yeah pls read it. Best site to read it is on MangaGo.

Okay, now please let me rant. I'm baffled when I saw that 6.4 rating at the time when I'm rating this. Most people that gave those low ratings said that they didn't expect this to be BL-ey, they were only expecting a typical mystery anime. Like tf??? Please ignore those reviews, Sankaku Mado No Sotogawa Wa Yoru is very astounding and unique.

For those that aren't happy cuz this is a BL, do you not read the genre of this anime? Like, imagine if I give Tomoe a 2/10 rating because it's scary, even though it's a horror anime. Of course, my rating shouldn't be valid, right?

This anime is a new thing in the BL community, most BL just focus on the romance, sappy stuff, and fap material. I do think that Tricornered Window deserves at least an 8/10 rating. And I don't wanna hear y'all saying that my review sucks, I know it is.

This anime is the least gay BL I’ve ever seen, but it’s also one of the most interesting.

The main draws of this show, to me, are the mystery elements and supernatural themes. The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window maintains a surprising amount of suspense in each episode, with well-edited sequences and a sinister atmosphere. While watching, I often found myself impressed by how tense certain scenes could be; Tricornered Window stands out among other BL anime for being quite competently directed.

The characters also develop pretty differently from other BL stories. Much of the focus is placed on how the characters’ psychic powers affect their interpersonal ... relationships, especially with family members. This results in a cast that feels rather fresh and intriguing, which I really appreciated.

Unfortunately, my praise ends there. The overall story is pretty lackluster, mainly due to some pacing issues that leave a lot of things unexplained. By the end of the final episode, I still didn’t quite understand how psychic powers function in the world of Tricornered Window. The motivations of certain characters were also difficult to follow at times, which made some storylines confusing.

My biggest issue with the anime, however, is how unfulfilled it left me by the end. So much time is spent building up the relationship between Mikado and Rihito, but there isn’t much payoff. The narrative feels reluctant to commit to a romance between the two characters, with Mikado even insisting at one point that he and Rihito aren’t romantically involved. Besides the ever-present tension between the two leads, there isn’t a whole lot of love between boys in this supposed Boys’ Love anime.

Though Tricornered Window does a lot of things differently, making it stand out among BL anime, it ultimately left me feeling a bit hollow. I really enjoyed the spookier scenes, but other than that, the show failed to make much of an impression. It’s better than most BL anime, but still not that great, unfortunately.

The lack of information in the beggining makes it confusing, but makes you empathize better with one of the main character.

Over all, most of the episodes it's you trying to pull together all the information they are giving and trying to understand what the hell is going on, wich makes it tough to watch.

Even so it all comes together in the last episodes, making this anime very good, not only because by then you'll understand what is happening, but because if you analise it from the psicological and social part of it, and you empathize with the characters you'll understand what mental illness would look ... like if it could be used as something dangerous
