I couldn't agree more! Milo literally even tells Bisco that he loves him, and the way that he enunciated it, made it seem like he was in love with him! Then they just disregarded the entire thing. I felt kind of baited :/

I agree with this, I feel like their friendship was much more than just friends?? Even at the end when pawoo said something about if she didn't leave Milo alone with Bisco, he would get mad at her? And yeah the pawoo and Bisco thing looked forced to me too, just my thought

I felt the same way. Bisco and Milo were definitely more than friends. And the Pawoo/Bisco kiss was definitely a case of the “not gays”.

I was wondering when someone would say such a thing... I just didn't know you would be so quick!
That just sounds like a "you" problem, don't you think? But it's sad, really, that we didn't get the romance we should've only because people like you would complain... <sigh>

Just to be clear, there is no indication nowhere, that Bisco reciprocate Milo's romantic feelings, so don't expect this ship to sail.

Yea, yuri/yaoi fandom is cringe.
Those people literally think, that two characters of the same gender just standing next to eachother means they are gay, which reduces homosexual relationship to mere fetish.
I'm pretty sure that's kinda homophobic.

I mean I view it as such, because they are literally written like that... although some actual confirmation about their relatiy (from both sides, not just Milo saying he loves Bisco) should've been nice ^-^

I understand, but all I'm saying is: target audience are people who wouldn't watch BL, so that's why we have the crappy straight ships thrown in there

I'm pretty sure that's kinda homophobic.

Guys, they're definitely not just friends Jesus Christ. Have you seen the way they look at eachother? Have you seen how much Milo loves Bisco's praise? He literally made a promise with Bisco to stay partners foreve. Milo said he loves him. Bisco came back from the the dead for Milo... They definitely ain't just homies.

I would understand your disappointment if I was complaining about some ship that could never happen, like Naruto x Sasuke, Deku x Bakugo, Levi x Eren, etc. Those thype of ships are entirely based on what we as viewers see and the way we interpret it, but those shows don't give us much space to ship. But here it feels like the show itself wanted to push us into that direction, to see the love between the two of them...

But, as I said, the target audience wouldn't like that so.... yeah...

I know, that Milo unambiguously loves Bisco, but that's unrequited. You're reaching. There is no indication anywhere, that Bisco prefers sausage to taco.

Bisco and Pawoo is the official, canon ship.
And Bisco did not came back to life just for Milo, but for everyone.

I thought I was the only one.. I swear the way he told bisco he loved him.. yea had me think this was some BL type shiii, which was fine for me, but the fact that they changed it up, that made me mad, ngl i was kinda lookin foward to bisco and milo getting together, I can't be the only one that thought that would be cool.

Nobody cares.. drop the show then, there where people who watch the show for the shounen ai part of it, but it got changed last second, how do u think they would feel. If ur bias against Bl shows or just Bl in general then "cool". just drop the show then move on..😒

I wholeheartedly agree that Bisco and Milo should have gotten together. They have good chemistry, they have been through a lot of hardships and their character designs are able to give them an “opposites attract” vibe (cool nomadic redheaded archer paired with soft panda-like blue-haired doctor from a big city). Then again, I’m a fruity guy so I do have a bias in saying that.

At the same time, despite the “I love you” in that particular episode, I understand why the creator - if they had any plans at all in going down that route - decided to shelve it. This franchise’s target demographic are clearly straight guys (many of whom couldn’t care for any BL story or loathe such stories). They’d much rather see Pawoo and Bisco together than Milo and Bisco.

Of course, I also want to see more cool and action-oriented shonen characters be in same-sex relationships, but at the same time, authors and the publishers they work with (which is where the vast majority of the anime stories we watch come from) are not our allies and I don’t expect them to be nor are they under any obligation to be one. In addition, they don’t like taking risks - especially if the risks are potential wedge issues that could give a certain segment of the community ammo in saying “that they’re weaving in an agenda.”

Frankly, the reality of it right now sucks. If you want to have your BL fix that’s shows a healthy relationship, you’re mostly like to find that in a story aimed at women (think Sasaki to Miyano). Just don’t expect cool concepts like the characters’ primary ride is a giant pet crab though.

Bisco and Milo have a biological child later in the LN, I'm not kidding.

Friends are nothing more than the people who you spend the fun, yet meaningless times with. When those times get rough, they aren’t there to support you.

Allow me to correct you on this, dear. Japanese is thankfully a very intircate language. The word that Milo uses for love has a certain meaning to it. "aishiteru" (愛してる) is used to exclusively express romantic love in Japanese, unlike "suki dayo" (好 す だよ) which is more commonly used for family members and friends.

Oh is that so? Then it makes sense why so many people are saying this should have been a BL. I loved the show anyways so I don't really care that much.

me too 😆 i didn't care about the Pawoo/Bisco thing at the end, it was cute, whatever, but there for sure was a "partnership" being built between Bisco and Milo, and it was definitely coded gay. I thought they were really cute as they grew to care about eachother. also, Bisco literally came back to life for Milo. how is that not gay

In this particular case, they’re not just friends, at least from Milo’s side. The word he used for “I love you” was “aishiteru” and if I’m not mistaken, Japanese use it to express really strong and romantic love. I understand your arguments when it comes to character that truly have a friendship only dynamic but I don’t think that’s the case here.

I have exactly the same opinion. Bisco and Pawoo are a terrible couple. Milo actually shipped them, but there was no chemistry between them. Bisco and Milo, on the other hand, had so many sweet moments and their bond was not a "normal" friendship. It was more than that
