The chibis do more physical work and are drawn kinda wierd, which personally left a positive effect on me, and a little more work is put into animating dramatic facial expresions (as I said, average don't they always put more work into that?). "Stand there, be a statue and say your lines", basically. Average in the way that the makers try desperately to save money by letting characters' mouth move when they're talking, but not allowing them to even blink (barely) while talking. Marvelously thought up.Īnimation: Nah, how should I put it. (OMG, I sould like a hard-core shounen-ai fan!!) Anyway, the story gets a steady 9 from me, because I like seeing different perspectives collide, but not interfiere with each other. If you wanna make a soap opera, make it about boys falling in love with boys, not Juan loving his boss's daughter who is to get married to Alejandro or whatever. The whole thing is made like a soap opera, with fathers, brothers, cousins, friends and other relatives and known persons of the sort interfiereing, which is why it's good, actually. So, the stories collide, but they do not cross paths and there was never a love triangle between three main characters (although in one case 1st person gets jelous of 2nd person because the 3rd person was his childhood friend and was in love with him before he met the 1st person, but you barely notice it!). In adition, almost all characters know each other and have either made contact, heard of each other, or are randomly appearing in the back of the screen when they're not in the spotlight. Story: There are three pairings that the story is circling about and it changes its centre so that every one of them gets just about enough spotlight. Anyway, let me, the non-shounen-ai-loving person, share some basic thoughts with you. I think it is a perfect anime for a non-shounen-ai fan such as myself to start up in this genre (if you really wish to, if not, you better don't watch it 'couse you'll get hooked). I am not a fan of shounen-ai (boy's love) anime (you must've figured that out if you read the all capital letters part of the text), but I must confess that I've seen Junjou Romantica both seasons in only two days and I've quite enjoyed it, actually. OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!! I'VE BEEN UTTERLY CORRUPTED AND MY MIND'S BEEN CORRUPTED! CURSE YOU JUNJOU ROMANTICA, JUNJOU EGOIST AND JUNJOU TERRORIST, AND CURSE YOU, WAGA IMOUTO!!!!! I WILL NEVER EVER FORGIVE YOU FOR LETTING A SHOUJO ANIME FREAK LIKE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH SHOUNEN-AI ANIME!!! NEVER EVER EVER EVER!!! It will be written in all capital letters. Fangirl-like talk ahead, please skip it if you must.
