Ioryogi-kun said: Well, bad reviews by general anime audience (not a fan of the manga, that is) don't matter. Those reviews are from those who don't read the manga so they don't know what to expect. I really can't imagine people who have read the manga give reviews expressing concerns about the age difference (duh). The only thing that matters more is DVD/BluRay sales. I'm not sure how reliable is the early sales data that @-Janet referred, but one thing for sure, Super Lovers has quite a big fanbase and it's safe to say that's where most of the money will be coming from (and not from some random reviews from the internet). Even though I said all that, I too, am feeling skeptical this series will get a second season. Call it a gut feeling. BUT! I'll be really happy if I'm to be proven wrong in the near future XD Adding on to this, Super Lovers has a HUGE manga fan base and the JP twitter seems to be full of positive reviews. I mean, the animate store in JP even has a SHRINE for RenHaru and I just lost it. Apparently they recreated the cafe too! I saw these on the Super Lovers twitter. It's full of pictures ahaha. Though I am effy about it's second season, from the way the anime is heading, there's no way they'll leave it on a cliffhanger. Yeah, the second season depends on the sales of merch and blu-rays, and juding by all the merch that is being pushed out, I think it's safe to assume, with a 70% chance we'll be getting a second season, eventually. There's a lot of material after all. |
Ioryogi-kun said: ryukan said: Apparently everything is wrong when the genre is shounen ai you know True. You wouldn't believe how many times I've been repeating this on the first episode discussion. Honestly. I'm not a fan of yaoi/bl/shounen-ai so I guess I'm just SL centric, which is funny cause I went in hating this series (see what letting other people's comments influence you does) and came out being absolutely in love with it. Anyway, we have lolis every where, even when we don't need them and once we get a teenage boy who DOES have huge eyes, everyone's quick to yell "SHOTA, IT'S SHOTACON, THIS IS DISGUSTING" and I'm like, okay but where were you with all those erm...Sexy (lack of better word) lolis? There's plenty of examples. I'm not ragging on people who are into that,I mean it's fictional but it really irks me when people pull this double standards crap. The only reason I don't refer to Ren as a shota is because he just looks that way in the anime (big eyes, very small) but he looks like a pretty hot (if I do say so myself) teen in the manga. Just, cute things sell I guess. HE'S STILL SO SHORT, glad he hits a growth spurt. Also, if I did refer to him as a shota, I would have to refer to my friend as a loli since she's an adult but has a baby face and is like 4'9. You wouldn't believe the disgusted looks I got when we were dating, I died a little on the inside every time. Hmm, Ren gives off shota vibes I suppose but the boy can't help his short ness ahaha. |

| Best episode yet! More Shima/Ren is just what I wanted. Haru/Ren scenes were fun 'cause not too long. Also, that girl Shima is teaching is super-cute like wth <3 |
 |
| I love the episode! and I feel like everyone is being unnecessarily rude to Ren :( and I'm so sick of hearing about the age gap the first two episodes were kind of iffy because he did look 5 lol but now he looks of age and I no longer see a problem. I really hate how there's two more episodes left, I don't see why there wouldn't be a 2nd season (there better be!). I'm just so excited by how much BL is coming out recently. |

-Janet said: Well said Sakibear-chan :) People have no problems when there's an age gap between a straight couple but when there's one in a BL everyone wants to make a big deal about it. Do people really hate BL that much :/ In my opinion if you aren't comfortable watching Super Lovers just drop it I find the negative comments unnecessary I agree! If you don't like something drop it lol don't continue to watch it JUST to bad mouth it, that's stupid. I think the amount of people who hates BL has lowered, it used to get A LOT more hate than it does now so at least that's good. |

-Janet said: I know that's what I'm saying if you don't enjoy an anime drop it don't waste your time watching something you hate and will bad mouth it afterwards. What's the point of it? Does it make you feel happy in the inside? Really I think the hate for yaoi is growing especially with all the Bishie anime coming out this year. Take this thread for an example all you see on there are homophobic males who despise the genre. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1509937&show=150 Check out page 4 comment 187, what the user wrote will have you cringing :/ Oh.. I assumed it was being more supported. With all of the LGBT things flying around I assumed people were becoming more accepting.. I read some of the comments in that already actually haha, I never realized how hateful people could be. Yaoi isn't propaganda?? and honestly yaoi is 18+ so young kids shouldn't be watching it anyway! (well at least the smut ones are 18+). The fact that some people are saying you have to be gay to like stuff like this is ridiculous lol. I mean if this genre isn't your cup of tea that's fine no one is forcing you to watch it. But for you to watch something you KNOW you aren't going to like just so you can make a shitty bias review of it is a waste of time. |

-Janet said: I thought that myself as well but it looks like the more yaoi come out the more the hate grows especially from males. I've always thought it's because they're actually self-conscious (of their own sexuality). And it's not limited to things that are clearly labeled shounen-ai/yaoi, but also those with two males as main characters. We'll almost always see comments like "why what that's so gay", "what's this shitty fujoshi bait"... things like that. It's like their gaydar never turns off, always very sensitive to works that feature two men no matter whether they're BL-themed or not. It's actually kinda amusing, and also annoying because just like you said, they watch it to express their hate for it. even though they actually enjoy it lol |
| Love Juuzen! And that Shima & Aki moments.. P.S.: No one pointed this before., but., did they just change the ending lyrics? |
| Did teach actually call Ren baka for not smiling despite being a serious and smart student? Go kill yourself if you're embarrassed loser, does Japan hate foreigners that much or is that a school thing? God I loathe conformity and those who endorse it. So, Shima meeting with a middle schooler for innocent purposes is wrong but Haru molesting his younger brother everytime n everywhere is okay? What's wrong with this family, idk anymore but please don't traumatize Ren-chan 🤷 DUDE not in the cafeteria 🙄 The fujoshi customers tho |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
