| xD KYA I LOVED THIS SO MUCH! Why must we wait for the next episode... I might marathon the first 2 seasons again x) misaki is just so cute when he's jealous >w< |
| I just started squeeling in my mind when I realized Junjou Romantica started airing today. The OP and ED are sooo good! So much better than the first two seasons. And the animation has gotten a lot better too. I really love it! This episode is really good. Looking forward to the next one. ^.^ |
 |
| For all these years I've waiting for to watch this T____T huhuhuuhhuh *cries and melts myself* The theme song is cool seriously!, well oh my gosh Misaki felt so jealous to Usagi that he is impressed with his cousin. HUHU I CAN'T SEE THE NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW WAAAA OMG ANOTHER KISS aasfghgdsfghfsfghfxfgcx *melts myself and faints* SWEET! |
| I'm so proud of the V/A's and that art unff. They succeeded to even release more feelings out of me than they did in the previous seasons. This is so nostalgic, can't wait for more! |

| Takahashi's only response to anything is to yell. He must have done it 50 times in the first episode. Very two-dimensional character, very boring episode. Despite the novelty due to how few shows with adults or at universities that we get compared to middle school kids, this was almost unwatchable. 2/10 have dropped. |
| Aah, I cannot contain my excitement after watching the first episode! The animation is much more fluid than the last season (all those years back) and the OP and ED were on point! The jealous Misaki at the end getting a taste of what he dished out at the start of the episode was brilliantly executed! Takahiro Sakurai as Misaki is still amazing! I had to double-check who came out of the elevator after Isaka and Asahina passed by because the character design of Ijuuin-sensei and Takano-san are so similar! I'm looking forward to seeing more of my favourite Egoist pair, but I hope they cover Junjou Mistake too because that couple deserves more love! <3 |
| Ahhhhhhh, my guilty pleasure of the season. I'm all caught up in the manga, so I'm well aware of what happens, but hey. Still fun to watch! I'm excited for the introduction of the manga artist, he's one of my favorite characters. Hoping to see a bit of Egoist though! They're my favorite couple. I love Nowaki so much too! Helenus said: Sorry, but a review(ANN) that says that 'Love Stage' is a better yaoi anime and has a 'healthier'/'mature' relationship in it cannot be taken seriously. Considering Ryouma doesn't rape Izumi over and over again, I'd day that, yes, it is a 'healthier' relationship. Atleast the two can have sex without the whole stupid protesting shit Misaki pulls every damn time. Not like Love Stage without issues, but atleast they move past stuff. (Ryouma does assault him though, and that's a problem, but atleast he's made to make-up for his mistake and the couple actually talk and enjoy their sex.) Same can't be said for a certain couple who still has the same damn issue despite living together for three years and fucking each other through all that time...... And don't even try to say that Usami doesn't rape Misaki, because he does and I'm not interested in any denying of that. |

| Aww i've actually missed this a little. |
| Yay! It's back!! Nice episode. I think there might be a new love interest for Misaki. I haven't read the manga in awhile so I have pretty much forgotten most of it. |

Riiiggghhhttt... maybe you should re-read the definition of rape and get back to us on that. Or don't... continue to live in denial and think what you want - but I'm telling you that you're WAY off because Usagi does not rape Misaki over and over again as you so believe. |

| The show is finally back! :D Great first episode och can't wait to see the other couples :) |

I dunno what delusional world you live in thinking otherwise, but hey, must be nice! sterres said: Being raped is wonderful Fucking bye, lol. |

Just because Misaki has a tendency to not be honest and is a bit of a tsundere that does not equate to rape. Misaki really does love Usagi and wants to be with him... You have this weird, twisted, delusional way of looking at this relationship... There's this ova, I believe it's called Koisuru Bokun and if you've ever seen this yaoi, than that is legitimate rape... |

| Guys, stop this annoying discussion. There is even an episode (I believe in Season 2, Usagi and Misaki are on the ferris wheel) where Misaki says expressis verbis that Usagi never did anything to him he did not like and that he could have pushed him away if he didn't like it. I will add the quote and the episode number later. Know your stuff, guys! |
HelenusJul 11, 2015 12:54 PM
| To conclude the whole 'rape'-discussion once and for all, let's have a look at Vol. 8 Ch. 38: Usagi-san worries about that he (in his opinion) 'forced' himself onto Misaki after they began to live with each other. He is even ready to let Misaki leave and pay for all his expenses to avoid that Misaki comes to hate him. Then this panel follows:  QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM. The person who's supposed to be raped over and over doesn't feel so. He did not even know what Usagi-san talks about in the first place. What can you want more to get rid of this perpetual rape theory? You can see the manga panels above animated in Season 2 Episode 9 of Junjou Romantica. with the best wishes, Helenus |

| that was boring. i might put this on hold until it finishes airing to marathon it the ed was better than the op usagi's voice sounds disgusting sorry not sorry Kotobukii said: Ahhhhhhh, my guilty pleasure of the season.

| This is so much fun watching especially since this is the second anime of summer 2015 which uses Hitotsubashi University in it (the other being Charlotte). So much fun going to class and thinking this is where it happened haha |
| You guys can relax and just enjoy yourselves watching this show. Because there is no rape, there was no rape and there will be no rape (as it was shown above). I don't know who started this fairy tale about the huge number of rapes in this series. But I hobestly doubt she (or he) did never read/watch further than chapter/episode 1. Have a good time. |

sterres said: Good thing this is not real life then it's a wish-fulfillment anime :D:D:D:D:D And it's a really good one. The feelings, the love, the sex, the men, everything is exactly as I want it. Except for the annoying uke protagonist but I can easily erase him out of the picture. Are you saying I, an adult woman conscious of my desires and needs, should not enjoy a show that's perfect for me and settle for boring crap that does not satisfy me at all instead? Nobody is asking y'all to not enjoy this show. Even I enjoy it at at times when Usagi isn't in the show but saying it is consensual and healthy is spewing up bullshit. It doesn't matter what he says after getting raped, it matters that during the sex scenes he is saying "no" and that means the other person should not have been forcing himself upon him whether the "no" meant a "yes" or not. That's basic manners and respect. |
MayukaJul 12, 2015 10:56 AM
| Oh God, please let the non-Romantica episodes come soon. Otherwise this discussion will never end -_- |
| lol, just ignore people who disagree with you and don't bring up that this is a healthy show or you can expect one of us to argue back |
mayukachan said: lol, just ignore people who disagree with you and don't bring up that this is a healthy show or you can expect one of us to argue back It is not in my nature to ignore other opinions. I just wanted to try to understand the problems people have with this show. Maybe I'm biases because I read the original source material up to the latest releases. In the recent chapters there is nothing what deserves the term 'abusive relationship'. And according to the commercials for the latest manga volume the story is about to reach it's final climax. So people who argue about the whole rape thing will have to live with the fact that the Romantica couple will - most likely - soon live officially together (also most likely with both families' blessings). I myself can live with this perpetual rant about the rape. But I assume not everyone is happy with this and will be disappointed with the final conclusion as well. |
| The basic problem with this couple is - I think someone already pointed this out - is that Misaki is an extreme tsundere. Or you could say is very dishonest concerning his own feelings. For some people it seems so that only Usagi is in love with Misaki and takes him by force over and over. If you watch carefully and read the manga you'll see that this is definetely not the case. Misaki is also madly in love with Akihito. He desperately searches for ways to be able to stay with him while meeting a lot of difficulties (his brother, Usagi's father, find a job). Do you guys remember how long it take for Misaki to say 'suki' for the first time? He just isn't able to make the first step. If Usagi did not push him once in a while, there would be no progression. I know you'll hate me for the following statement: in the manga it is perfectly clear that MISAKI WANTS IT TOO. I don't know how many chapters this season will cover. But there is lots and lots character developement for both, Akihito and Misaki, in the chapters to come. So I have desperate hopes people might change their opinon about this couple. |

| I should start watching this series too...but i have to watch the prequels...i am lazy Q.Q |
Helenus said: The person who's supposed to be raped over and over doesn't feel so. He did not even know what Usagi-san talks about in the first place. What can you want more to get rid of this perpetual rape theory? Sounds just like a battered housewife who is completely dependent on her abuser and has no where else to go. Also underage = not able to give consent = rape. If it was a female rather than a male there wouldn't even be this discussion, the show wouldn't even be air able, but guys getting raped is practically comedy with drop the soap jokes etc. so they get away with it. Regardless the characters are bloody awful and the show is like watching paint dry so whatever, people that enjoy little boys getting raped have a show they can watch. |
| So glad this got another season! |
| It looks really cute even after all these years! Romantica was always my favourite couple anyway :) I'm not such a big yaoi fan like when I was watching the first two seasons, but I hope I'm going to enjoy it nevertheles... Also, the ending song should be a lot cuter! Like Aioi or Baby Romantica, not just some random pop song :/ But I've read manga ever since, and I honestly think that nothing really important will happen anytime soon... Nakamura should start writing some kind of ending for this story, wrapping everything up is taking her way too much time. |
  |
| @above I read the manga (idk if 50 is the right number but our resident fudanshi said it happens in episode 9 of season 2 so it should be pretty deep into the series. I didn't read the non-junjou chapters so I only focused on misaki and Usagis story (the other two pairings bore me and creep me out) Oh I said something about episode 1 already if you scrolled up or went back a page or two it was a dull episode but interesting to see shimonos character I don't give a shit about my post count at this point OTL I want it to reset gurl stop attacking me |
MayukaJul 16, 2015 11:13 AM
| sometimes I stare the computer screen and ask myself why the hell I still try to watch this AND HOW DID I MAKE IT THROUGH THREE SEASONS anyway I shall keep watching Junjou Romantica until it is silly enough to make me want to punch my computer but oh yeah, there are another couples I guess I watched for them y-yes |
| wow the art change. i'm definitely a fan of the smoother art but some of the more drastic changes (ie terrorist) definitely threw me for a loop. i'm liking the new characters so far. hopefully we get to see more to usagi's cousin than just a jealous little derp since he has potential to be a better character. mihashi's new potential friend also seems pretty fun. i'd definitely like to see more of him in a platonic light since more one-sided crushes/drama would get a little old. |

| End card: Nakamura Shungiku |
| I'm so late to the party but I just began watching this season and it is blowing me away. The animation style has improved so much, the storyline is vivid and finally, FINALLY Misaki is being less of a Tsundere and loving Usagi the way he deserves. I LOVE IT. |
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ODDTAXI OR SAIKI K I'LL BONK YOU IN THE HEAD |
| Cute episode. I get the feeling there's going to be a love triangle involving Misaki, Usagi, and that guy Misaki just met. And that anime baby. OMG. Adorable. Beware the jealous cousin. That should be interesting. |

| Man, I really missed this series. The OP was Good. Can't wait for Egoist and Terrorist. |

| Omg, the season is finally here. I'm soooo happy! I was busy with my life, studies and work so I haven't watched anime since October, so I was more than excited to see that Junjou Romantica 3 has finally arrived. And not just few episodes, but the whole season! <3 The first episode was quite boring, since nothing happened. I think the first ep is supposed to be great so that people has the interest to watch it. I'm a fan of this so I'm gonna watch it completely, no matter how boring it would be. :D And about Akihiko's cousing Mizuki.. Gotta say I have never liked him. It's even more annoying when I know his reason to hate Misaki. I hope he won't be seen much. |

| How did I not know about a S3 until now? Oh well.. So far the art looks a lot better and theyre a cute couple |
 |
| The change in animation was surprising since I get use to the old animation from the previous seasons. I can tell that Misaki will be having some competition with Usagi's cousin in winning Usagi's heart. Can't wait to see more |
