Deplorable, insulting and child grooming ''Boy's love''
This is a poor excuse of a BL, and s mainly about child grooming with pedophilic undertones.

It is the classic ''I groom a child and it's a very cute romance''. I like it!

For everyone praising and loving it, the ''seme'' character is a child predator, you know that right? He's grooming the kid ya know what that is right? That is not particularly cute, you realize that? No?

Then picture this story:
A little girl, about 8 yrs old, that is ''raised by wolves'' and not particularly taken care of by her legal guardian, to the point of her being violent to anyone. Then she meets with a very adult male and he gets to take care of her and starts a blooming romance, being flirted with and sensually touched by the guy that should acting as her parent. Not send to child services. Not to a professional child psychologist. Just with this random guy that she met recently. Is that a thing that actually happens?

Nothing wrong here? Is that what you would want your child or yourself having to go through? It is? Then maybe don't get kids. Now go read/watch better BL mangas/animes that doesn't show a glamourized and normalized pedophile relationship. Yes, the kid is almost an adult now. But no, it is still not okay.

You do see it now? Well thank god, it is good you could realize that. Now go read/watch better BL mangas/animes that doesn't show a glamourized and normalized pedophile relationship. Yes, the kid is almost an adult now. But no, it is still not okay.

For everyone else:
A very good tale of child abuse, not doubt about it. It is creepy, and a good anime on how NOT to make a kid-adult relationship, ever. But it's not in the tags or genre soooo... not a good show at all, and especially NOT a good cutesy romance.
It's a dark dark story of child grooming, manipulation and neglect parading as a cute Adult-Young kid romance. Nothing less, nothing more.

Watch it with this in mind, or don't. And don't support it, watch it for free at the very least. So nly watch if you're into child grooming and dark shows parading as a cute romance.
Otherwise, stray far from this insulting garbage.

Oh, and the ''uke'''s proportions are creepy af habing all this in mind.

Conclusion: 30/100 for the sound design, the backgrounds and general animation quality. These are the only good things about it. And the voice actors did fine given the material they had... which isnt saying much. So yeah, don't Recommend it.

Boy's love? More like, little boy's love...img220

Super Lovers is sweety and But it would take a limit.
Super Lovers has become my imaginary gateway to gay animated Japanese-style novelists. The family ties were therefore a flight bordering on endurance - Mother as a son, emotionally completely undeveloped individuals who each in their selfishness massage their nerves and souls not only with each other, but especially with everyone else in the area. Unfortunately, another emotionally undeveloped individual catches the most - the youngest adopted brother. And wonder of the world, the eldest brother's protection complex begins to break out into a much deeper relationship.

And that begins the long journey to clarifying whether it is based on emotional or again purely selfish foundations. In my opinion, this was the most interesting right next to the progress of the story about the coexistence of 4 diametrically different brothers. The romance itself was strange given the circumstances, and a really little bit was missing to cross another limit. From extreme to extreme, but as a start with the anime subgenre shounen-ai OK ... ***
At first, this piece seems like a more or less functioning slice-of-life family drama about two half-brothers who have to learn to live together. Gradually, the romantic side of their relationship also begins to build, but it really, really doesn't work. All this touching hugging and kissing seems incredibly convulsive and doesn't sit there at all. Maybe if Ren didn't look at 8 ... Anyway, there are few shounen-ai series, so if you don't have a vacation in the Caribbean, you'll settle for Bulgaria.
__However__
This time, the Japanese perversion reached the limit of my tolerance. Not anymore, this is well across the line! A mother without a maternal instinct and a brother without a fraternal shame take care of wounded wolves by inflicting more and more blows on him.

In particular, a psychopathic and, after a head injury, apparently mentally ill brother, who has lost track of what is permissible and what is not, liquidates poor wild Reno mentally and, in fact, physically. He gets him into unsolvable traumas, because Ren, as younger, weaker, dependent and ignorant of basic social norms, lets himself be manipulated helplessly into the position of culprit. So instead of seeking help - his feeble attempts to escape will destroy the possessive brother in his infancy - he still feels guilty and like the one to apologize, repent and beg for forgiveness.

All this is happening under the watchful eye of other brothers, friends, teachers and family acquaintances. They make a sarcastic remark as much as possible, but they still let the predator continue to claw at its prey, which, moreover, looks like a maximum of twelve years. I have no word of forgiveness or a bit of understanding for this series. The little innocent boy still thanks the ruthless predator for how nicely he "takes care" of him and is grateful to him for that. Really disgusting! Stupid that no one cares much about Ren's early childhood, what happened to him, who hurt him, and why. The fact that there are side characters mostly only in number (obviously they cut the side motifs from the manga to an incomprehensible minimum) is proof of a badly done anime.
But the central motive: the "relationship" of the older brother to the youngest is a perverted, disgusting and evil way of thinking.

SUMMARY: It would be much better for you, Rene, to run with the wolves through the Canadian wilderness.
