Although it seems foolish from a business standpoint that the company is putting a lot of effort into this show, it represents a slow shifting trend within the anime industry to tap into the fujoshi market. It’s fairly clear that this is one of J.C. Animation errors and laziness are few and between, with the comedic bits still receiving a great level of animation detail. The rough and tough of the mid-period is still something we’ll have to cross our fingers for, but so far things are looking good. In terms of production values, LOVE STAGE is doing great in maintaining its level of quality in all aspects. Ryouma will sure need it considering how he traumatized Izumi, but again, given the OP and ED sequences, I have hope that the story will provide ample reconciliation that doesn’t take the easy route just for smut and sexy times. Now that Ryouma is starting to accept to his boy-loving side and with Shougo there to help him with that, I’m sure we’ll see some of the sweeter things that Ryouma can do for Izumi. I feel bad for Izumi’s current state, but hopefully the worst for him is over.
There were a few easy corners here and there, but overall the plot has progressed fairly organically and organized. For everyone else still on-board though, let’s talk positives about the story.Īpart from that sensual scene, the romantic development between Ryouma and Izumi is progressing quite well.

The fact that you at least tried out the series is great enough. Although I’m still thoroughly enjoying this show for the comedy and likeable characters, I get that some people just can’t get past the explicit scenes. If that scene was too much for you and you’ve made it this far, I don’t blame you for quitting at this point. I’m going to hope that Izumi has some backbone not to forgive Ryouma so easily, lest we start falling into really stereotypical BL dynamics. However, I’ve never really been a fan of it, much less when its clear that there is one person who doesn’t want someone’s hand down there. I get that this is supposed to appeal to female fantasies and that we see this kind of stuff in ecchi shows all. This portrayal of casual molestation isn’t something that sits well with me–I wasn’t okay with it in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and I sure am not about to change now. The scent of the dominant-submissive dynamic that pervades the genre found its way here for moderates and myself, this is a turn-off, despite how well the story tried to make it relevant. The appetizers are over–the main course is now beginning.įrom the previews in episode two and the warnings that some commenters left, it should be no surprise that we got some Boys Love today.
LOVE STAGE!! has enough comedy, story, and good production values to draw a non-BL crowd, but this episode ultimately reminds us what kind of show we’re in for.
