Sakamichi no Apollon ─ Kids on the Slope

[LovelySmily]

I didn't like the art so i dropped it from my watching list but then decided to give it a try..i start yesterday watching from the first episode n didn't went to sleep before i reached episode 9 n i'm dying for 10 to come XD
it was the best music show i ever watched i started to like jazz too just when they start to "play around" i feel like my body is moving with the rhythm n after they finish i go like "BRAVOOOOOOO n clapps" <<my bros tho i'm crazy xD
BUT REALLY THIS NEED TO HAVE MORE VIEWS n it's sooooo unfair for it to have 13 episode :'( that's not fair at all

I'm glad after a whole episode of whining like a little girl, Bon finally manned up.
Also, THAT END.

i followed it as it aired for the first few episodes (i'm waiting for it to finish), i would've continued watching it on a weekly basis but it was already in the process of derailing into a love square. anyway, there were definitely some homosexual undertones. nonetheless it's still pretty good for what it's turning out to be, but not what i was expecting/hoping for.

THERE WASN'T ANY..it's just a deep friendship feelings only "friendship" nothing to worry about n keep watching with a smile

He did say undertones, not actual homosexuality. But still, they weren't even supposed to be undertones, it was just the author... "failing" (can't find a better word) at portraying a same-sex friendship between males without it looking/hinting that way. At least, this is because the author is a girl, so to a male it does seem more odd than perhaps it does to a female.

that's definitely not what i said. i mean i don't really care, i was joking, but if the undertones didn't exist then they wouldn't be apparent to anyone (and i'm not the only one that has noticed). it's just the way sentarou and kaoru communicate with each other, their mannerisms, facial expressions, even the character designs. it obviously wasn't intended, but it is a josei so i was kind of expecting the relationship to be slightly warped, as mirkosp said - and i enjoy the anime regardless.

oooh sorry if i got you wrong ...it's just i saw soo many people who didn't watch it because they thought it's yaoi ... it's an amazing anime really they can't ruin it with making shounen ai moments and as "Mirkosp" said " it was just the author... "failing" (can't find a better word) at portraying a same-sex friendship between males without it looking/hinting that way."
but i still can't see the shounen ai hints xD maybe i'm slow don't know haha
but I'm glade you're enjoying it and hope u enjoy it as much as i do ^____________^ <<here we go fan girl mood xD gomen ^^"
