It seems I'm not the only one who felt this film was seriously let down by the intimate scene at the end.
Up until that point it was a pretty decent film, nothing extraordinary but it was a pretty sweet, enjoyable love story.
As a queer man I have become a lot more weary of "BL" titles than I was as a teen, due to the unhealthy depictions of M/M relationships and the blatant fetishisation. I got my hopes up watching this.
The animation is nice and if it had been longer it could have been a solid love story. It had pretty decent depictions of masking and ... anxiety and, I thought, a realistic depiction of a bisexual man.
And then the intimate scene threw the problematic and fetishised trope that has made yaoi a problem for years. There is nothing sexy or romantic about ignoring a no. There was no consentual roleplay or anything like that, it was clear non consent which has seriously let the film down. I wish I could say I'm surprised. I'm disapointed but not surprised.
I have started to see better representation of M/M couples in anime in recent years which I appreciate. This was very nearly one of them but was let down by that final scene.

Honestly this would have been a really solid series if the protagonist wasn't so painfully unlikeable.
Story wise it's fascinating. A person with a limited ability to time travel using that ability to change past events to protect loved ones in the modern day is a great concept when used correctly. The tight limitations of Takemichi's abilities are brilliant in terms of drama as there's no "reset button", if he fails in what he sets out to do then there's no do over which makes the sense of danger feel far more genuine.
The gang warfare elements are also well done. The tensions between organisations as well ... as personal loyalties and relationships are fairly well established. Though some story elements do fall a little flat, some animosities carrying more weight than seems necessery.

The majority of characters are interesting. Mikey and the founding members of Toman are probably the strongest in terms of characterisation and it is really difficult to not sympathise with these kids.
Takemichi's friends could have been developed a little better and Hina, Naoto, and Akkun honestly feel like they only exist as plot devises with no real substance. It's a shame but it's not really that easy to care about these characters but I'm going to assume that's due to the number of major characters making it difficult to build on every one of them.
Takemichi, our protagonist, is probably the worst character in it, though. Where other characters may not make much of an impact due to simply not being built upon much, Takemichi is just simply unlikeable. He comes off as obnoxious and kind of gross to an extent. He's a 26 year old man who ends up back as his 15 year old self and is probably the most immature of the teen era characters. His obsession with being a virgin is just annoying and it genuinely feels like he doesn't really bring anything to the plot. Most of the time he stands there screaming and something or someone else steps in to deal with the situation then Takemichi gets all the praise for doing absolutely nothing.

A lot of the comic relief moments feel kind of lazy,relying on crude humour or misunderstandings which overall aren't that funny to me personally but humour is subjective so that's not that big a deal.

The animation style is decent.

If the show was just a gang story that focussed on Mikey and Draken it'd probably be more to my tastes personally but you can't win them all.

I have just finished reading Petshop of Horrors and I had actually watched the OVA first. I wasn't expecting much as the anime hadn't done it must justice, however I was highly impressed. This has easily become one of my favourite manga. The plot is intelligent, it uses a lot of comedy however it doesn't tend to cheapen any of the serious scenes and situations. It's a series that does not hold your hand, it allows you to figure things out as you go along and I was happy trying to think up ideas and theories about the characters. The character of Count D is ... the perfect example of a well written character in my mind, he is mysterious and fascinating, he is neither good nor bad, he is simply Count D. I'm not very good at reviews and am trying very hard not to drop any spoilers but I have to simply say that this story is a diamond in the rough of horror manga. The horror elements aren't as straight forward as most modern gore based horror, infact the gore is very minimum and used only when necessary, if anything I'd call it a beautifully written psychological horror worthy of the traditional Gothic writers of the 19th century.
