| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cute Really, that's all I can say. Despite being rather disappointed by the animation quality, I still got to laugh at all the adorable moments of the first episode <3 ....Even though I completely don't understand why they made an opening that already contains all the best scenes... |
| bruh |
| Quick question: How´s the manga compared to this OVA? Definitely one of its strongest points was the well-placed comedy, still cannot say much about the plot and characters. It was a good start, I guess... And who says that swearing to be together through sake isn´t a manly thing? ;D BTW Nao, all right with the world and everything, but you should have your arm bandaged at least. |

 Underworld mob boss background plot served pretty well as a background even if it wasn't explored much here beyond inheritance and fist fights. Interactions between the two were interesting and paced well. I like how unlike other bl-anime time isnt wasted so much on a main character who is conflicted with feelings of trying to not admit they are in love. Though I can only imagine that is because they were trying to do much with the OVA to cover much of the source material? It was kind of nice and touching. Nao > Ryu due to cooler design and level headed. Oh and also that |

| Son of yakuza liking his childhood friend... nice? There are some BL moments, but the most surprising thing is that even though yakuza guy is strong, he's not stronger than his childhood friend!! lol @ that hoodie guy (so tennen). Looks like next ep. will have more exclusive BL moments. |

| Very cute. I loved it. I especially like that none of the guys are weepy like the usual uke in animated BL (like eg all the stuff by the creator of Junjou Romantica.. ugh)... and can be quite reversible. Just really loveable characters, even if the story is not too complex. I remembered I liked the manga as well. I hope they'd make more BL with this kind of characters (but hopefully with more sex and stuff ^^) Sad it was short and the animation was rather crappy. |
 |
| It was cute I really liked the story and characters...I agree with myth, it's nice to enjoy an animated yaoi series without any annoying ukes for once. I found an English torrent of it too. |

| I love it. There's no girly people here and all the people are funny in their own way. The story's simple but enjoyable. I love both Ryu and Nao and they're cute together. For once, there is an uke that's not all sparkly and stuff, and I like the fact that Nao is a levelheaded but kind character while Ryu is sort of childish and brash but sweet and loving of his friend. Yep, I'll wait for the next OVA. |

I think the manga is really good, and compared to this OVA they kept it pretty much the same, didn't leave too much out. (the manga is only 6 chapters after all). I don't know why the animation bothers ppl. I think it's fine. I've seen worse. Besides the animation, I think the story is good and it keeps to the manga. I can't wait for the next OVA to be translated. :P |

| The animation wasn't a lot better than animix quality if you ask me- they avoided having to animate any movements aside from facial expressions when they could.... Nao's voice annoyed me really bad, it just feels completely out of place. Even though there wasn't a whole lot to skip they still managed to do it- there was a totally unnecessary OP made of episode scenes + useless ED + next episode preview + after-talk.... that's wasting a lot of episode time. I'm sure I had more criticism while I was watching- but I can't remember... I'm pretty disappointed, mostly because it's pretty rare that BL manga's like this one get animated (pretty tired of the junjou romantica hype, over-rated much-) TL;DR Lacking animation, awkward VA, disappointing, just read the manga... :C (Don't get me wrong guys, I love BL, but... quality > quantity.... ; n ;) |
| Aww this was cute, the story and characters are good. The opening and ending was pointless, I think they should've just skipped straight to the story. I'm also glad that there was no weak uke and I just wish the OVA was longer or more episodes. The manga was great too and I can't wait for the next episode! |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |

Wistaire said: The animation wasn't a lot better than animix quality if you ask me haha the same phrase I said to myself while I was watching I was so happy once I heard that 'tight rope' will turn to anime but I got disappointed as well by the animation x3 why it turned out like this *tears* such lovely manga with a good story deserve to be much better! *siiiigh* even though, I know that I'll keep watching it x3 (they have a hot kisses at least *Q* xDDD) its manga is admirable, and Naoki is much more handsome <333 so I really recommend every one to read the manga (in cause they haven't yet) after the second ova come out by the way, I liked the accent the characters talking in, it's so cute~ |
| Oh, I feel like I'm the only one who likes the animation. I mean, it was good and normal... Regardless the animation quality, I really don't like PrimeTime's background songs and what is supposedly to be a *fluffly scene* with pink/orange backgrounds, it is always tacky and weird. But I like this one, I like it, I like it. Maybe because I hold a special feeling for Tight-rope, so only seeing this OVA is enough to get me excited... And the seiyuus, damn, the perfect choice for each character. Shinnosuke Tachibana's voice is fits Naoki just fine... |
| I didn't like the anime at all... I think it's been a complete waste of time. |
 |
| Cute! :) enjoying this... so fluffy and fun! |
  |
| Surprisingly enjoyable start for my first BL anime. The set up is interesting enough and the comedy is a hoot. I didn't mind the kiss scenes although they weren't for me. |
 |
| Gives off a great SoL feeling with the right amount of comedy. The hot kissing scene is ofc a biiig plus :D |
 |
| the story line seemed very good.... I liked how it all seemed not rushed at all. |
 |
| Like many on here, I'm so happy to see that for once, the "uke" is not excessively feminized and/or weak. He stands on his own two feet and is capable of taking care of himself. There is actual bonding and friendship between the two characters. In my opinion, there's a fine balance between fanservice and a wholesome plot. Most yaoi anime I've tried to get through are overly sexualized. It's fine if that's what you're looking for, but I find it often swallows the romance and leaves me with a bad taste. I love tightrope and hope to see more anime like this in the yaoi genre. On the downside, I did find the animation to be quite bland, and the plot was pretty basic. |
| I knew Ryu's voice actor was Tatsuhisa Suzuki!! XD I didn't check the cast list prior to watching haha. Anyways, I found this OVA very cute! :) It's obvious Naoki and Ryu care about each other. It's adorable that Ryu resisted being the heir to his family yakuza because he would cut ties with Naoki, for Naoki to be safe. But since Naoki had the two of them drink sake to swear to spend their lives together, we can expect good days ahead for them. ^^ I like that Naoki even kissed Ryu first, but Naoki said he wasn't prepared for anything beyond that haha! When Ryu kissed Naoki first and almost had sex... I'm guessing that wasn't the first time. It felt very natural. Maybe we'll see more of Tachibana, Naoki's maternal uncle who's working for Ryu's family. And Tetsu will make a return in the next OVA. The comedy was placed nicely, like when Tetsu densely said he was the person who told everyone that Ryu is the fifth heir :p I like that Naoki can protect himself, and he and Ryu can fight together! :) We do not need someone who is 'weaker,' or someone constantly being used as a tool to bait the other <3 |
