Is there a problem with this anime? In the fact that it seems that it was written by a homophobe who wanted to ridicule gays and took all stereotypes about gay molesters, aggressive, perverted, the stereotypical division into seme and uke because in a couple two men must be woman and man.
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi's problem is that the relationship he shows is a toxic hell. They can only be called hysterical, melodramatic, violent, manipulative, clownish, but not romantic. And I can explain it. The end of the first episode is disgusting.
Ritsu drinks at Takano's house. And it's okay, but suddenly sexual harassment begins. And Ritsu yells no, stop, but Takano sees what Ritsu is in. He is very drunk, and Takno starts mumbling romantic things in his ear, and suddenly the moment is interrupted. And we have a scene where Ritsu wakes up in bed and doesn't remember what happened. Do I have to explain such banal things? A drunk person cannot consent to sex! What Takano does? Takano takes advantage of this state by manipulating him to get what he wants. In addition, Ritsu refuses to give him permission. I don't need to say what it is.
This season differs from the first only in that Ritsu is no longer a victim of sexual harassment 24/7, and is getting a little closer with his "love".
Takano doesn't take Ritsu seriously. It shows all the time that you dominate it, it shows its 'toxic masculinity, because I don't even know what to call it. They can't talk normally. Takano does NOT like Ritsu. Instead, talk to sexually harasses him. As in season 1, episode 3, he molested Ritsu or force kissed him. He treats him like a stupid kid, not an equal man and partner. Plus he plays the victim. How? Takano laughed in Ritsu's face as he confessed his love to him 10 years ago. How is he acting now? Like a bad boy. He thinks Ritsu is a fool because he says something to him all the time like, "Dummy, I know you love me." In addition, Yokozawa blames Ritsu for Takano's depression after Ritsu quit him 10 years ago. No, Takano didn't take Ritsu seriously, and Ritsu has the right to his own limits and doesn't have to go out with such a person. In addition, Takano is jealous. Not as much as the famous molester, oh sorry writer Usami Akihiko of Junjou Romantica, who wouldn't let poor Misaki go to meet his friends. He gets so jealous just the thought of seeing Ritsu with other guys. Humor is OK. Kisa and Yukina are great people for whom I give +10 points.
There are sweet moments. Yes, but it's the same as coming to a crime scene and sprinkling glitter on everything. Or how to say that a tyrant neighbor who beats his wife is good because he kissed her once. It's a toxic relationship because really cute moms get mixed up with real abuse.
I'm not surprised that Ritsu doesn't want to deal with him. But this season he likes him more. Apparently, the beloved Stockholm Syndrome is starting to work because I don't know what else.
I don't even know what to say. This is better than Romantica? Are you kidding? Just because Romantica is officially a problematic anime that has already shot itself in the leg showing harassment, and more specifically, molestation? Sekaiichi has the SAME in the third episode of the first season. Sex manipulation in Junjou Episode 2? It's the same in Episode 1 and Season 2. I am shocked because it is already considered good. Sekaiichi is the same garbage, but only less rapey. I am shocked and would not recommend this crap to anyone.
I have reviews for the first season, but I don't even want to go back to that. I think I explained in TWO reviews why Sekaiichi is not much better, just less rapey and that's it.
