Dou Kyu Sei: Classmates

This gave me lots of heartwarming emotions. They started felling in love unreasonably, but that's what love is. Along the movie, it gradually let's see their love development through the passing seasons. Althrough they had some conflicts, they are normal conflict that any couple could ever has.

Even through I wasn't in to it for a few of times since their personalities were like me with my boyfriend that I wasn't in to, like one was very in love and not preparing for his future, and another one is a diligent guy thinking about his future, I feel they really like each other, and I think they can improve themselves together.

I was so hesitant at first to watch this, since I didn't like the style of animation and I'm getting tired of high school romances. Besides, I'm pretty new to the BL genre and I'm still nor really sure if that's my thing. After the first 10 minutes, i considered to stop watching it since the plot seemed over exaggerated and rushed. Well, I'm so glad I stuck with it because in the following 50 minutes it completely redeemed itself. This anime does a truly wonderful job in showing the difficulties such a young romance may face, and in particular gives us insight into the characters inner thoughts and worries. Every decision they take seems completely reasonable, as such the conflicts that arise are realistic and justifiable. Even though this story only has 60 minutes to draw you in, I've seldomly been this emotionally attached to a relationship between 2 characters and I truly wish there was a sequel. I don't think there's anything I could write that would do this anime justice and convey how good it is. Please just watch is, it's wonderful.

When I watched it the first time I cried the last 10 minutes because it was reaching its ending and I hadn't had enough of this beautiful relationship. It's "a slow, serious love" - like the author says, and I couldn't be happier about it. This is not necessarily for teen girls or gay males, it portrays a pure love, even though it has boys' point of view, you could change either character for a female and the feeling would still be the same. I love everything about this, except for how short it is, but I just finished all the manga related to the story in 3 days because I couldn't live without more. Perhaps I'm raising the expectations too high, but this deserves my first review since I can't stop thinking about it and had to say something. I hope you like it as much as I did, and watch it as many times as I have. I know the author won't read this, but I want to thank her anyways for bringing all of this joy to my life. <3

I do not remember a ton about this movie as I watched it in 8th grade but it is very sweet and lovely and a lot less fetishizy than some mlm anime tends to be. The animation is very lovely and the art style is unique and pretty too and I remember liking this movie quite a lot!!

A classical slice of life anime, that has in its stylistic measurement, that never goes over the top, its best quality. It's also short and sweet and it portrays without any big drama a gay teenage love story. Unfortunately, it also feels like it could have been much better and it didn't end up sticking on me too much.
