My Thoughts

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

One of my favourite BL films and definitely my favourite Takumi-kun films.
I feel bad for Shingyouji throughout the movie…Why? BECAUSE I HATE ONE SIDED LOVE
“Treat them mean, keep them keen” is how Arata-san leads his love life.

Before i get into anything, as mentioned in ‘Bibou no detail’ this is a new Shingyouji 🙂
Personally I think he’s great, the actor definitely plays the part really well.

Yoshizawa and Izumi are adorable.
LOL that look that Gii gave Izumi when he asked him why he was here and Izumi responded “This bed is comfortable” was awesome ;D Screen capped that!

There was at least 45 minutes before we saw Takumi and Gii together!
either that or I just had my eyes shut. It’s nice to see a spinoff in the Takumi-kun universe. Don’t get me wrong, its not that i don’t like Takumi/Gii, but i loved seeing a new couple (or…whatever this is ) and Arata-san and Shingyouji were just fantastic.

The…sweet kiss, hell i dont know what to call it! But y’know the bit when Arata-san steals Shingyouji’s sweet (or was it a chocolate?!) and Shingyouji is all like “You’re mean! that’s mine! I’m starving” …and then Arata-san..umm….’gives it back’ :L

Daaaamn that was so sickly hot stuff, honestly it both grossed me out and filled me with butterflies ahahah

I loved it when Takumi said to Shingyouji that he could go out with him on Tanabata and Gii was all like “…what exactly did you mean by “go out with me”?!” and Takumi was all like “I said that?! Noooo you misheard!…i didnt say that! you got it wrong!” Love that.

OMG when Shingyouji’s little face lit up when Arata-san told him he had free time next week…and then fell again, *sigh*

Ohhh awkward…you’re out with some friends and you run into the guy you like having lunch with some other dude….ekkk o.O
Gii….you fantastic man, planning this, god i love you ;D

Ahh my god it got so intense when Shingyouji was leaving…Takumi went after him…Gii stopped Takumi, Arata practically SPRINTED to him….”I told you to wait, or did you not hear me, Shingyouji?” OHH I got chills! and then Gii gave Takumi a look ;D
and then the whole “You belong to me.” Woaaah, lucky Shingyouji! And then he just drags him away!!!
I love how Gii says “Takumi” in a ‘Takumi-just-stop-talking-for-a-second-xD’ kinda of way ❤ AWWW!!!

Ohhohooho and when Shingyouji and Arata are in the changing room….. ❤

There are so many sweet moments in this film, I’m pretty sure I’ve ruined most of them for you in the above paragraphs BUUUT why else do you come here~

Ryouma Baba is beautiful.

I rate it
9/10

Movie Summary [Ren Ai Shindan – Unmei no Kodou]

Title: Ren Ai Shindan – Unmei no Kodou /  恋愛診断 : 運命のコドウ / Love Diognosis: Throb of fate
Release Date: 2007
Language: Japanese
English Subs? – Yep..and chinese subs too~

Cast:
(actor – character) 
Ryunosuke Kawai – Kei Katsuragi 
Kohei Kumai  – Kanade Maki
Eiji Moriyama – Dr. Kugura
Katsunobu Ito – The Director.

Basic Plot Summary:

Doctor Kei nearly drowned in a pool until lifeguard Kanade saved him.  Shortly after Kanade is diagnosed with a terminal heart disease.

After an incident occurred at the hospital, Kei took responsibility. Mr Director threatened Kei that he wouldn’t accept Kanade if they were seeing each other. So Kei ended it with Kanade….but love finds a way 🙂

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Death….its so annoying.

Kei and Kanade are so sweet together, why did this have to happen!?
Kohei Kumai is adorable..even if that is such a 90’s haircut hehe.
I hate the Director …I can’t even begin to describe how much I hate the director guy.

If someone is about to hit you with their car, do you fall down in the middle of the road and watch it happen?! Of course!! That part made me laugh…I know it shouldn’t, but it did.

Awww its just so cute! The romantic foodtime and then the kissing, completely adorable!

Ryunosuke Kawai is everywhere in BL movies….there’s no escape from him! He was also in ‘Ai No Kotodama 2’ and ‘Itsuka no kimi e’ and now this, this guy is taking over the BL film industry?! My theory is, if you act in a BL movie once….you have a 70% chance of doing it again ^^
(Do you hear that Rakuto Tochihara & Ryoma Baba!?!!)

Anyways, back to the actual movie…..
When Kanade collapsed on the beach…the look in Kei’s eyes. At this moment it was as if someone had reached into my chest and pulled out my heart.

 

Someone could have warned me that it gets very sad very quickly, I was not prepared for this!
Kei has so much faith that Kanade will get better…It’s just too sad, I cant take it any more!

 

That was the worst movie I’ve ever seen

Not in terms of quality!!! God no! it was very good!~ But in terms of being on an emotional rollercoaster…I hate feeling sad, and this film was so heartbreaking 😦 BL films need to stop having main characters die or become disabled, I’m done with the tragic trope.

But, it did all work out alright-ish….I mean they both were nearing death…so…yeah…
 -just trying to find the silver lining to this metaphorical cloud-

*cries*

I rate it.
8/10

Movie Summary [ Ren Ai Shindan – Tsubasa no Kakera]

Title:  Ren Ai Shindan :Tsubasa no Kakera / 恋愛診断: 翼のカケラ / Love Diognosis: Shattered Wings
Release Date: 2007
Language: Japanese
English Subs available? – Yes  (also Chinese subs)

Cast:

(actor – character) 
Tomo Yanagishita – Tsubasa

Airu Shirozaki – Ryou (Leo?)

Juri – Kain

Basic Plot Summary:
Tsubasa’s stepfather had just killed himself, which was something Tsubasa blamed himself for.
Then one day Tsubasa had a run in with 3 boys who mocked and bullied him about him and his stepfather…Ryou witnessed it all but never helped. After the incident, Tsubasa ran to school to clean himself, he checked other rooms, but they were all locked, until he found a free room…or at least he thought it was free… But Kain was there, he tried to console Tsubasa…immediately Tsubasa started to develop feelings for Kain….

Tsubasa meets Ryou again and again resulting in a complex love triangle….wonderful -.-”

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Love triangles: we meet again.
I hate love triangles.
The characters in this were very….strange….Especially Ryou and Kain. Tsubasa, not so much, he was just very…flat, a little weak and kind of had that “I’m the victim” attitude about him, at least, I thought so.
Kain was lovely…to start. Then he turned into quite an asshole. At the end I found myself hating him.

Ryou has an attitude that kinda bugged me for the first 3/4 of the movie. But then as we started to understand what was going on, we realised he wasn’t such a bastard after all.

I really liked the relationship Tsubasa and Ryou had…it was lovely…DAMN YOU KAIN
Anyway… Kain is horrible…that’s all you need to know. Don’t get sucked in by his charm and good looks!

Oh….The guy who plays Tsubasa played Takumi in the first movie….TOTALLY DIDNT REALISED UNTIL WHEN I WAS WRITING OUT THE CAST!!!!! holy crap! I need an award for being so incredibly (un)observant! -.-”


Okay, is it Leo or Ryou? In the movie he was called both Ryou and Leo, I don’t care too much, he’ll always be Ryou in my head.
Also, wasn’t that pottery scene, PRETTY MUCH THE SAME as the pottery scene in the movie Ghost?! (you know….with Patrick Swayze and…Demi Moore!?)

Ryou, you’re so stupid, trying to light a cigarette when you’re in the shower. I probably shouldn’t have found that as funny as I did.


What’s with the feather symbolism?
Anyway…!

I’m kinda in two minds about this film. I didn’t NOT like it….but i didn’t exactly like it either….such a helpful conclusion.
But: I rate it….
6/10

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

This movie is so weird… I cant even begin to describe how weird it is!
It seemed like it was a parody of other romantic movies ..Please do not take this film seriously!~

It;s by the Visual Kei  rock band ‘Golden Bomber’ and each of the members played a different character.
I actually knew of Golden Bomber before I saw this film, not very well but I heard some of their songs and I spent a long long time trying to work out why they looked so familiar.
The movie itself made no sense at all to me, but nevertheless it was entertaining!
But I love the fact that they’re actually in a real band ! I don’t know why….but that’s really appealing

Oh and…That wasn’t a real kiss!!~ DO IT AGAIN!
Nah I’m joking I understand why they did it like that…we could have just considered it ‘fanservice’ though ehehe

 

[I read somewhere that Kiryuin and Jun were meant to be girls?! But…I don’t think so…I mean..actually, Jun did get ‘pregnant’ so….y’know, they could be!  ]

It was good!! I don’t usually like parodies but I actually enjoyed this. I liked how overly dramatic some of the characters were and never before have I seen someone shake their head so much as Kiryuin!!

But despite the cheating boyfriends, male(?)  pregnancy, gang rivalry, head shaking, and incredibly attractive lifeguard…For BL quality (which is what I’m here for) I’m only going to rate it…..
5/10
For originality and hilarity I would give it so much higher!
