Story ~ {5}
The story seemed all over the place, in the beginning it made sense just for a brief moment Haru visiting his mom but. As the story progressed it was honestly everywhere, Ren being raised by wolves? Ren's parents still a mystery... haru having a relationship with his under- aged brother (adopted) more then a sibling should ever cross? and ren reciprocating a love hate-relationship with haru is somewhat entertaining, cute and very uncomfortable (AT TIMES!!!) , the story got better but there were times when me as a viewer would get whip lash because of several misinterpretations for example the 7 year time elapse, Haru getting in a car accident, (moving forward) Haru telling ren that he had to kiss him when he left and got home from school and i cant forget when ren was being chocked by that over obsessed woman.. personally I had to go back and re watch some episodes because they were unclear and very vague.
ART~ 10
I honestly like the art a lot, it seems that they took time to strategically make out the characters faces, I love the setting in japan, the cherry blossoms outside the room Ren was hardly in. even the BMW Haru was ridding around ** spoiler** ( I know yall seen that BMW in the episode where Haru says Ren has a low sex drive) getting all the woman's attention I even liked the cute dog Ren always held.
Sound ~ 10
I loved the ending music it was very enjoyable, the music playing softly in the background giving the anime a melody vibe, Also the extra sound effects that the characters gave off was really good i enjoyed it.
Characters ~ 5
I have given my opinion on all the characters that were important in the animation.
Haru Kaido:( let me get start on this pedophile...) He is the older brother of shima, aki and ren Kaido he is very loving and caring to his siblings but is rather interested in his younger adopted brother ren his is very controlling we all can see in the beginning that he also makes sexual advances to ren but at the same time can be very caring and supportive ( AT TIMES!!).. he is rather sneaking and just his character makes me uneasy i had to pause the video sometimes because he was just going crazy (almost raping ren that night when he was drunk), him kissing ren all the time im surprised they didn't shower together but him masturbating ren was to much, his character is just uncomfortable but its "yaoi so its what I would expect".
Ren Kaido : A very anti- social boy, who is very naive when it comes to certain things.. (Not knowing how to release himself) he is very fragile and small for his age, can be very stubborn at times as well. Even when ren was trying to laugh was funny ... He has good exceptions but can be seen being very immature for his age " enticing Haru coming out the shower naked???" and can be very submissive at times letting Haru do almost anything to him also (Knowing his limits respectfully). I like Ren's character with few flaws it has.
Aki & shima Kaido: I honestly think the twins were very irrelevant to the story it seemed like they were just thrown in the story without further planning, only to be introduced later on in the story and they were disregarded a lot i wish they had more screen time but they weren't really involved with ren (except shima having dinner with him)... I think having them in the story-line for a brief minuet at a time also helped to give us a break from Haru (grooming and attempting to molest Ren) There were many flaws with these two character. shima and the girl he was tutoring had a similar a relationship to that of Ren and Haru that needed more screen time period.!!!
Iuyoshi Sasaki : He was "VERY VERY VERY" annoying to me, he just seemed like "a rat scavenging for cheese" in my opinion he never had his own money because he was always begging Haru to buy him lunch. but he did work so i give him that, he was so annoying and that cute name he gave ren (ren ren) was so cute and funny but he was more so the gossip one who honestly had organic vegtables and a profit on the store he was investing in with Haru going for himself.
Haruko D.Diechmann; she was funny, serious and had a interesting relation with her son Haru i like that she took ren in but, rather disappears when the setting takes place in japan only to be just thrown back in the story later on... (moving on)
Enjoyment ~ 6
It was ok very cringe worthy and im going to leave it at that.
Overal ~ 8
I liked this anime in-spite of the molestation's going on in the animation i would recommend it to ( Tv-14) for mature young adults, the art was great i loved the music it was an emotional, cringe-worthy, roller coaster i hope the twin brothers are incorporated more in the animation as we all await for season 2, im kinda excited i just have been watching naruto in the mean time overall i would recommend to watch... the manga was really bad compared to the animation thank god they left some of what they really did behind closed doors alone.
