God, please, just no.
We have so many great mangas out there.
What is getting another season?
Square-faced yaoi.
Great.

This anime is shit. This author always puts out the same old things. It's boring. Go away. Stop it!

Wow. I didn't think there will be any anime connected with Junjou... I really liked it (despite these square-like faces and hands) and I'm interested in that project, yet... I feel quite fed up with Nakamura's mangas made into anime, especially when some stories and characters are similar. There are many mangas which could be animated and they would be better than Junjou.

It could be a better yaoi, at least... but no, they go and make another season of Junjou Romantica. Can't believe on this popularity.

Aren't there already two other projects of Nakamura Shungiku manga to be animated? Her stuff sells, okay, but if they really have to animate shounen-ai I'd rather they gave another author a chance.

This coupled with the news that noitaminA is apparently doing a bara anime sometime soon is just... wow. Can't somebody animate something with lesbians for a change?

Me too, actually. And hey, there's no way it can be worse than some of the stuff they aired recently.
But I still want to see some lesbians now.

Never really liked Yaoi. This doesn't affect me. But I could name 3 or 4 mangas that deserve their first season more.

I'd rather they animated a /good/ yaoi. Or shounen-ai.

That bara one might be interesting.

No offense to anyone, but Junjou wasn't my cup of tea. Sekaiichi was all right, but in general I don't like that author's work.

What about something like...hmmm...that author Asou Kai? Her manga are nice.

...fine, won't abuse the mod powers.

Let them have their Shitgiku, my rage is somewhat quelled by the bara news (we need a thread about that!). Ultra-safe and boring continuation with Junjou against risky and potentially awesome Gengoroh Tagame (after they tone him down to TV safe levels lol).

BL/yaoi gets somewhat more consistent sales support in anime form from its fans than yuri does, though. If I weren't one of only like 1000 people who bothered to buy Sasameki Koto, maybe we'd see more like it. Yuri fans usually have to settle for shows that aren't strictly "about" lesbian relationships, but include significant appeal to yuri elements (say, K-ON!, Strike Witches, or Madoka Magica). As nice as those are, and as popular/well-received as they may be, we still don't have many shows that handle serious lesbian relationships though, no.


I know, and it's pretty depressing actually. Thanks for reminding me I still need to watch Sasameki Koto though.

Well if you don't mind explicit porn scenes there's tons of Yuri out there, or you can just play Yuri visual novels, there's hundreds of them around.


I prefer fluffy shoujo-ai, but it's not like I mind porn so I'm probably going to switch to that soon, yeah.
...which is totally not what this topic is about, so I'll leave it at that and just patiently wait for the topic about the bara anime to be made and laugh at people's reactions.

I'd be happy if it wouldn't be censored as hell... I love the manga but the anime itself is pretty indifferent to me especially now that I'll have to deal with only the cheesy music and barely a kiss >_>

LOL why?
Why only Shungiku Nakamura's mangas get an anime(I mean TV-series)? There is SO MANY MUCH BETTER yaoi and shounen-ai mangas out there.
But still probably gonna watch it, 'cause I want more Hiro and Nowaki 8''D

Actually... I'd rather watch the Guilty Crown prequel. (lolwut.) At least I wouldn't have the urge to barf watching it.

And the third option would be "neither."

Wow. That's saying a lot, but I can kind of see where you come from. Nevermind that I would never consider watching it if it were any longer than 12 minutes.

I'm soo happy about this but if it isn't season 3 I will go on a rage >.>
I do think that Nakamura Shungiku is getting too many chances when other good mangatas aren't but I'm really pleased this new anime is of Junjou Romantica that brought her popularity and what I love her for.

On another note,why are people wanting a 3rd season of Sekaiichi Hatsukoi! -_-
To me it's a downgraded version of Junjou and in the respect of her other and future works to come I would like to see a stop to them all getting some type of anime adaptation,I would rather see another BL anime series by someone else get animated.
