THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I think Izumi is the best heroine of this season at present. In this episode, he was cute as usual. And DAIGO's existence was really huge. DAIGO didn't perform as Shougo, he seemed to perform as DAIGO. lol

Anyway, the romance finally started? I think some viewers will drop it after this episode. I, I will watch the next.

P.S. Kaze no Tani no Naushika (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind) reference.

Best episode yet but... This show still has no plot
Is it so difficult to make a yaoi anime with an interesting plot that doesn't revolve around the fact that they're gay? It would be my dream

Shougo is a pretty good character, he's obviously a brocon.
Ryouma almost went all out on Izumi, he didn't even try to resist him.
Lol, Ryouma thought it was all a dream, but wasn't.
A bit painful to watch those shounen ai moments, but what can I do about it. It's my fault and definitely not the anime's.

Well I will be one of those who are going to stick with this show for sure. I really like the comedy and the animation quality is really great compared to some other stuff I have been watching recently. And Izumi is really cute.

I'm interested in seeing how well they can adapt the manga into the anime with the future episodes.

DAIGO sounds really goofy, love him <3

Really the best episode yet :D it had me giggling like a little girl (what I'm certainly NOT!) xD.
The funny parts were with the marble, when Ryouma walks into the pole lol xD and when he was chasing after Izumi and telling him to strip XD! Awww great episode indeed :). I'm having such a blast this summer with all the new stuff.

Funny episode. I was kind of hesitating whether to watch this episode or now, not that I hate plot or this show or anything but I was embarrassed.

Still can't get fully used to DAIGO's voice acting ugh :/

And I think that Izumi's and Ryoma's 'scene' looked kind of awkward.

But still, enjoyed the episode a lot!

Yabe!! Hayai desu yo ne?!!

Alll right... that was a total first for me!!! *_*

LOL (remembering the Barakamon fujoshi first reaction! hehehe)
Wow... Toooooootally did not expect that!! Ryouma got so carried away!! EEK! I was so red! :"|

But lol, I must admit, it's exciting too! I like how they rendered out the explicit details into the pink bg. Uncensored would've been like.. whooooaaa noway! Hmm.. this is gonna test me though. lol.
Izumi's face was class! S&M much? hehehe. He was so shocked he couldn't push him away. Poor guy.. but now his thoughts will be full of Ryouma! XD

:))) The marble fall was epic. LOL. And all of how Ryouma's dealing with it. hahahaha. Wild eh? Uncontrollable passion. X)))) Shougo the saviour! hahaha

Im really happy the anime is being so fluffy, even though I was a bit mad with so much censoring. In the manga when Izumi is assaulted ofc its all explicit, but I understand that the hard stuff its only for manga. Im happy this way anyway.
Well its funny and its sweet and Im really happy because there are a lot of males watching it. Somehow I feel that people are getting more open-minded, and most of guys already understands that a fujoshi's fascination by watching a couple of two boys its basically the same that a male anime fan feels watching two girls as a couple.
I must also congratulate the forum moderators for keeping trolls away from this thread:D
No matter if straight or not, we are what we are and if we're straight its not by watching an anime with a gay theme that we will all turn gay. If it was like that then Brookeback mountain movie would have turned millions ;P By watching different things we get new perspectives and opinions. That's all:D

The assault made me really uncomfortable, I'd hoped that they wouldn't include that scene from the manga :/ but yaoi anime has a ways to go on that front (meaning that yaoi anime tends to include those terrible tropes more often). Still, this is definitely one of the better ones out there.

Well besides that, comedy was fantastic as usual.

I loved this episode, but the only problem I had with it was that that scene was practically rape (or it almost was). He was crying! I mean it would be nice if it would actually develop a relationship between those two before getting to those parts. It also seemed awkward when the brother walked in.

Hirakawa-san's character to the point. Main guy always runs from the troubles.

lol @ that actor's dream, it seems that the truth is making him "trauma". The CM is complete and public.

Oh, wow @ exclusive scene, and rocker brother to the rescue. That gave both more trauma, though.

Definitely the best episode that has aired so far. The fujoshi in me was just screaming for more action, specifically more HARDCORE UNCENSORED FULL FRONTAL RA.....but of course this is anime airing on TV so we can't expect too much of that.

11 out 10, best romance this season.

I can't even explain how happy made me this episode. Like, that was wonderful!
That elephant thingy killed me completely.
I was immersed for 24 minutes because not even a natural disaster could have taken my eyes off the screen.
It was a challenge for them to censor this episode, I wonder how they will do with the others. As Mei said above, censorship was not a bother at all. That pink Ryouma was pretty well done.
Obviously I would have loved to see more action, like in the manga, but I cannot expect more from a series that airs on TV.
10/10 just because I can not give it an 11.

The only thing that bothered me about the censoring is that I'm not sure why it was censored in the first place. The scene was dulled down to Ryouma just kissing him, its not like we saw Izumi's junk or anything. God forbid we see a dude kissing another dude. It was apparently only alright the first time because Izumi was in drag.

Hope someone else besides me thought that the pink and sparkly censoring actually made it more intense than what it probably would have been if normally drawn.

Shougo's voice is still awful, good lord.

Gahhh conflicting feelings on the censorship of this. I'm really glad they decided to keep the yaoi scenes (Well, this one anyway) but I'm also really disappointed in the censorship. I for one don't really want to watch Izumi getting intimate with some pink blob of sparkles and nightmares. The rest of the episode was great.

It's like Yaoi series move at 2x the regular pace but I guess that's better than beating around the bush.

We'd probably get more sparkly Ryouma imo lolll

I personally dont see the anime go past ch 16 (or was it 15 i dont remember) or anyhoos with how it's going from manga>anime atm so i guess there will be only 1 more scene of sparkles if they decide to stay true to the manga (if my memory serves right lmao).

But anyways, it was a decent episode, looking forwards to eps 4.
I wanna see more Shougo, im totally digging DAIGO atm *u*

Check aaaaand check. I know, I know, last time I wrote his voice-acting got better but it seems that lowering your volume because other people are in the room makes all the difference. But I'm kinda seeing the "charm" in it, it's so bad it's actually good. Please don't judge me.
The first thing I thought when saw the pink background was "oh heck, Sailor Moon is transforming somwhere near". Or maybe it was Lala Lulu?
when censorship in yaoi series is better than your CGI henshins, then you know something's up

I like that trope, also always love it when smexy harem anime's bring out le tentacle monsters. And since most otaKu like it, it will keep being therejust like ecchi and moe, luckily :-)

Anyway, awesome anime, I'm enjoying it just as much as everyone else ! He's really cute :-) (I am bi guy and huge pervert XD)

I'm working on it. It's not hard, actually. I have one that revolves more around the fantasy than the yaoi.

Until I publish it, you will have to suffer with finding the little yaoi that has actual plot.

What you just said is so true! They never choose yaoi mangas with good plots to be animated, and it's really a pity.


Plus, the way they animated Ryouma in the 'h' scene. Really? Like REALLY? It wasn't good at all

Plus I hope that they [spoiler] will include ShougoxRei scenes in the anime, they are such cutie pies :3

Yeah. I don't like the belittlement of rape and sexual assault that mangas and animes revert too so often. :( I mean, seriously, you can tell beautiful and also sexy stories without that. It just makes me sad. And a little worried about what it does with peoples attitutes.
I don't hate Love Stage, but I'm feeling sad after this episode.
