(no spoilers) (2nd to last paragraph is basically a tldr)

Blue Flag made me bawl my eyes out, and for multiple reasons.

1. Not so much I was exactly one character but a picking of almost every character in some way, shape or form. Emotions following how unsure the future can be, how your future can be (whether its highly anticipated by others, or something that you're unsure of), feelings of not being enough and doubts you have about any ability or talent (regardless of how proficient you are at it), and not really knowing if you can be yourself or if you can ever be comfortable ... being you.
As you can tell, I can relate to some of the stuff in Blue Flag and it made me a little emotional here and there lol.

2. The ending: although I would've loved for more... transparency/obvious/upfront-ness, emotions for previous chapters in the chapter caught on all of my heart strings. What do I wish for this? Hopefully an epilogue or maybe some sort of short story either following the manga's last moments, or somewhere in between high school and the beyond/adulthood.
Considering how much the characters talked or wondered about their future, I would love something MORE to see how they're all doing.

I think all in all, they're teenagers, they have a lot of mixed emotions, troubled relationships, and a few events that makes some do a 180, or realize how broad and expansive can be behind their convincing smiles.

Overall, I enjoyed this series and I sometimes wished there was more (lol I'm not good at reviews, but i just finished it today and I'm still processing stuff). I'd still give it a "mixed feelings" not because I felt like I had to drag myself to finish this, but because the ending was....lackluster in some places ?

Maybe in the future, I'll revisit this review and give some more insight to things I missed, or mixed feelings about the material that made me uneasy.

This is the worst piece of shit I've ever watched. I thought watching an already weird yaoi anime for this month was going to be a cheesy, boring anime. But no, I was wrong, This is gross and I could barely take it with my own two eyes. Wishing for the character's death every waking second wasn't enough for me. I like how the dad (the dad's dad) was more concerned about his son hooking up with a man (a boy, mind you, who is 20 years older than him). Lol this is so bad and I'm glad I know not to watch this again ... lol byebye

Extra Olympia Kyklos is something I wanted to check out because of the mix of mediums of each episode. This anime is a relatively short viewing, about 2-2½ hours, and it's nice to sit back and watch something REALLY different for once.

The songs at the ends of episodes are funny and pleasantly informative. Just thinking about how much research was put into this show, and seeing how much footage they shot for this, just adds just shows everyone's compassion to make this show a reality.

However, maybe it's not your cup of tea, since each episode follows the same formula and possibly something that doesn't ... please your brain, but try watching a handful of episodes to appreciate how much work was put into this show.

i hate this

why can't this be about a group of gay kids hanging out normally and not be sexualized to hell.

Maybe they could all hang and do stuff, like talk about lgbt stuff and encourage each other to be who they are, offer advice, and hang outside of school like normal people would. Coming from a person who heavily sexualized gay relationships in the past - just getting into yaoi/bl and scavenging at the bottom of the barrel-, I've learned that these types of shows aren't good and is never going to progress in positive gay representation in media. I've grown from this, and I ... hope people who thought this show was redeemable notice that this show is extremely hurtful.

Whoever gave this a show/manga higher than a 2 needs help. Please, do not ever watch or read this. It's bad. Very bad.
