| Finished this with a big smile on my face :) I liked the extra parts they added too (Izumi's otaku-friends kinda girlfriend, the scene between his parents, Lalalulu, showing the charm in his pocket) Daigo really improved his voice acting The ending scenes were so does this mean... a season 2 is in the works?! |
| Not bad. I usually like ukes but I ended up favoring Ryouma in this. I just really wish Kuroi x Izumi was a thing but ;v; mayukachan said: Where is Honto Yajuu's adaption? :P LOL, same. SleepyBear said: so does this mean... a season 2 is in the works?! Was thinking the same. They showed that director guy. |

| 2nd and last yaoi I'll ever watch. Rushed ending seemed too rushed but whatever, so glad it's done. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| Well, summer ongoings are slowly starting to end, and I'll definitely miss this show. It was very enjoyable and fun to watch. I'm glad it didn't go usual BL path: seme rapes uke -> uke falls in love with seme. Instead Ryouma supported Izumi and always was on his side. Too bad Kuroi didn't have much screentime. He's such a bro and I loved his voice. Also, emoticon faces are the best! Wish there were spin-off about Lala-Lulu. 8/10 |
 |
| Can't believe its over NOOO. Was crying when Izumi confessed his feelings to Ryouma. Dat scene O////0 Who was that guy?? A famous director? Looks like Izumi has been noticed. SEASON 2 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! T______T |
| I'm screaming for Season 2!!!!! |
| That ending :'''(tears of joy) I thought the anime was to short because I wanted more but meh it was a good ending. I can't wait for the OVA. |
 |
| I'm screaming while watching the last ep. It's a really good one, though.. Aaah I hope there's season 2! Let me celebrate the end of Love Stage!! by singing the ED loudly with tears. |
 |
| That was quick... Anyway, it was a nice show. |
 |
| OMG T.T IS THIS THE END?! REALLY?! NOOOOO. I WANT MOOOOOOOOOORE!!! |
| I started this anime with really low expectations since the other yaoi anime I've watched were complete shit but this one was quite nice. I liked that Ryouma and Izumi's dynamic was different from the typical seme/uke thing we see in yaoi so often. This was one of my favorite shows this season. 7/10 |
| I'm not happy with the MAL rating until it gets into the 8 zone :| If Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica have mid 8s scores each, why does this one score so much lower? |
| I am satisfied with this adaptation, over all it was good. I don't care the censure if they did a good job. They ended where I guessed. |

| I DEMAND A SEASON 2!!! Q A Q |
| So, I went into this without high expectations, just wanting to give something different a try. The most shounen-ai thing I've ever watched is No.6, which was barely even shounen-ai, just two tiny pecks on the lips (I loved that anime, btw). After what I consider not a great first episode, I then found myself looking forward to this more and more every week. Will really miss this now! Definitely hope they do a season 2, as they seemed to leave it open at the end, with the unknown person smiling. Really looking forward to the OVA. It was such a character driven anime, that left me wanting more to find out what happens next! 8/10 from me. |
| I was pleasantly surprised by this series. The conclusion was really sweet and I'm glad that he did say very clearly how he felt after some help from the people around him. xD |
 |
| I don't like how the author resolves the Izumi x Ryoma relationship with sex, but it's adapted from a yaoi manga so I suppose there is the need for sex. These last 2 episodes are the weaker part of the series for me. Kuroi is great, I really like him. Saotome is surprisingly hot, a megane bishounen, and his look reminds me a little of the captain of Prince of Tennis main character's team. (forgot his name). The parents were really sweet in this episode, I like their chemistry. XD Too bad they didn't show much of Rei and Shougo, I bet most of us could see something between them. Shougo was totally itching to stay the night at Rei's place. :p Somehow after these last 2 episodes, I don't really want to read the manga, even though there was a mysterious guy smirking at Izumi's CM. I might change my mind someday, but for now, I am contented with this ending (I guess). mayukachan said: I'd say because there are a lot of shitty audiences now, who'd watch an on going shounen ai / yaoi show and complain about the gayness. I don't see a lot of them back then. And also, most of the shounen ai / yaoi are rated really high by the fujoshi, so that might explain the high ratings. There are a hell lot of shounen ai / yaoi manga in the top 1000 on MAL..I'm not happy with the MAL rating until it gets into the 8 zone :| If Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica have mid 8s scores each, why does this one score so much lower? |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| It might not come soon though because the manga isn't that far from where this ended yet, but still hoping for a season 2 (since they showed a glimpse of that director at the last few seconds)! One of the few titles this season I always looked forward to, 8/10 |
Aeroing said: Izumi is quite ripped for an otaku, pft I know right? The ending was just so perfect!! XD I loved this episode to pieces!! When Ryouma started to cry at the end I had to squeel. That was just so touching!! >,< Looks like a second season is planned. The ending showed the beginning of the second arc. I just hope it won't take long for it to come out. I want to watch it already ;_; |

| It has been a long time since I last saw that scene In the end Love Stage manage to give a good example what a good BL anime should be Didn't expect to say this, but I really enjoyed the ride 7.5/10 |
| I need moar <3 Love Stage! was wonderful (and honestly my first ever full on - [not counting hentai] BL series) I might have to look up the Manga after that now cause wow <3 Anyway The series was phenomenal, gorgeous, sweet, hilarious. Ah! I try to avoid giving anime 10's cause like I feel like I'm always being too generous but seriously this series was fantastic 9 is a 9 okay am I being too generous with a 9? lol anyway I'm gonna go "fan" out for a while XD A bit sad that, that was the end even though it was perfect. The best endings in my opinion are like Wow that was great I'd love to see more but that was incredibly satisfying <3 |

I know, I know :/ Can't stop that.. But the BL manga that are MAL ranked, are actually really good. |
| It was a fun yaoi to watch. I hope we get more Yaoi like this! |
| I ship things I want! Why? Because it's fun! I post retarded shit at times, sorry-- my dumbness might infect you!Please be cautious of me! I don't come with a security label! My anime list hasn't been updated for a really long time, so it's not accurate! |
| well i really didn't expect much form this show, and i was happily surprised totally worth watching |
 |
| It was a Great show, the ending was cute! I enjoyed this, hopefully this means more BL anime is on the way. Overall I give it 8/10. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| At the end of the 9th episode and start of the 10th I honestly thought the rebels and Sena were going to have some spicy yaoi orgy scene. Not just them totally making a 180 and flopping around over him and his "cuteness." It was a fine episode and a great series. It was really nice. |
| It took Izumi almost getting raped to realize he loved Ryoma. *smh* Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| The BL parts of this series were largely by the numbers, but the comedy was always great. Sickly sweet ending, but I expected as much. |
 |
| Doesn't matter, had sex |
 |
| Why can't more romance anime end like that. |
 |
| So they finally got rid of the weird pink/blue blur. I guess they were saving the normal one as the best one for the very last moment. Hmm it was pretty good anime over-all, esp. the first few episodes were marvelous. I wish there was more focus on showbiz stuff, I think I would have liked to see that more. Ryoma x Sena was still nice tho, esp. on Ryoma's part (tho he has little self-restraint) Hmmm I would have given it a 9 but... an 8 would do. Would like a 2nd season. |
 |
| this is so so gayyyyyyyy hahahahahaha bad second half, i hate the after anal sex scene 6/10 |
| i could only watch it now. it was PERFECT! loved it so much i think i'll read the manga and also Back Stage! now that the anime is over |

Juhnny said: For me it's the other way around. I found Love Stage! much better than Sekaiichi. I found myself getting extremely bored with it's plot. Yeah. Way too many love triangles and cliche shit. sterres said: mayukachan said: I'm not happy with the MAL rating until it gets into the 8 zone :| If Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica have mid 8s scores each, why does this one score so much lower? For me it's because this was incredibly dull and boring. The seme didn't deliver and from there it's all a costant no. To me yaoi is a safe way to be desired THAT much that the man can't control himself and if the seme backs out like this one did, it feels like an insult. I preferred the seme here over any of Junjou or Sekaiichi's semes, no lie. Are you saying that a yaoi must follow the rapey seme ---> tsundere uke? Because, that's not even how it works irl. I'm not totally against Sekaiichi's structure (I liked it tbh) but Love Stage!! is more adorable and realistic. |
| Pretty decent ending in general, while I'm definitely not a fan of Shounen-ai the overall story and especially the manga development was pretty good, the characters were properly worked out as well and the BL wasn't too over pushed to a point were it would ruin the show butt well as it still was present and I'm not a fan of it I can't really say I liked watching it but oh well another lesson learned to first read the synopsis next time... |
 |
| I almost cried, my eyes teared up at that ending. "I love you". There needs to be more yaoi anime like this, I'm tired of the only yaoi/shounen-ai anime out there being Junjou Romantica and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. Not to count Gravitation which is really amateur and shitty. Yes there's tons of yaoi/shounen-ai manga but I want to see more animated ones. There is no harm and Love Stage was a masterpiece. It was a good run. ;___; |
 |
| It's kind of funny there's still people whining about it being gay. It's not like this is the 10th episode of a yaoi anime or anything........ It had some funny moments, but overall nothing really memorable or noteworthy. Better than your standard yaoi anime, but that's a very low bar to begin with, so it's not exactly much praise. 6/10 |
