Finally. FINALLY. AFTER MONTHS, DAYS, AND WEEKS OF WAITING, I FINALLY HAVE THE SECOND SEASON OF JUNJOU ROAMNTICA WITHIN MY GRASP. I am going to be so pissed when the series ends, but let’s fall off that bridge when we actually reach it.

Oh yeah, I added four more screenshots than the usual six, because I lost count of the screens I’d taken. By the time I’d noticed, I was up to 25. Go figure.

Anyway, Let me start by saying this much - This is shounen-ai (gay guys) bordering on yaoi (gay guys buttsecksing), so if that sort of thing bothers you, don’t even bother with the rest of this post.

So, getting back on track, I might sound a little weird at parts, this is because my classmates and relatives read my blog (occasionally), which makes everything a little awkward, because while I’m open about loving anime, yaoi is one of my more secluded hobbies. (That sounds… wrong. WHATEV. ಠ_ಠ)

Now that I have the general warnings out of the way, let’s get to the episode! IT WAS FREEKIN AWESOME. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling throughout the whole thing, even if it wasn’t remotely funny, and I got so many flashbacks from the first episode of season one. Season 2 picks up exactly where the first season left off, with Usagi-san’s celebration coming up, and Isaka pestering him about it. I remember how I used to throw darts at pictures of Isaka on my bedroom wall, but he’s become so much more likeable now.  He doesn’t seem as much as a rival as compared to a comedic relief. Then again, EVERYBODY is comedic relief. So nevermind.

Isaka finally got Usagi-san to attend his own party, and Misaki ponders about that much while walking home from classes. But, remembering that Usagi-san hasn’t recieved a formal congratulation from him yet, Misaki decides to stop at the flower shop and get him some flowers.

INSERT NOWAKI GOODNESS HERE.

Cough. Moving on. Then, while getting his tickets, he notices someone just standing there, by the ticket machine. Offering to help, Misaki realizes that the man has never been on a train before, let alone having bought any tickets. Misaki decides to be a nice, considerate person (unlike myself), and asks if the other man wants to go part of the way to Teito Hotel with him, as they’re both heading there. The man accepts, and they board the train. On the train, Misaki and the guy talk a little buit, but when they get to the topic of Usagi-san’s award, the other man insists that Usagi-san sucks at writing, despite not having read a single one of his books. Misaki is pissed off, but decides to hold back, as they’re both in a public place.

Once they reach Teito Hotel, Misaki bumps into Usagi-san, and then the guy from before is introduced as Usagi-san’s older brother, Harukiko. Then he starts ranting on how novelists suck, and Misaki fires back his own flaming abilities, leaving Haruhiko stunned. Misaki takes this wonderful oppurtunity to escape upstairs to the room with Usagi-san.

Wow. Fut the wuck? Didn’t know you had it in you, uke Misaki. Instead of giving off a ferocious atmosphere, that scene rather had me gaping at first, then rolling on the floor laughing. Lulz.

Anyway, Usagi-san talks to Misaki a little bit more, before Misaki gives the flowers he bought. Insert gay buttsecks here.

Okay, I know I should be talking about the episode, but I just want to insert a little note here. I’m a yaoi fangirl, and my mom knows but doesn’t really give a shnit, so I made her watch the episode. Wow. When we got to the buttsecks part, she had an indescribable expression on her face, and I lol’d. The last time I made my mom watch an anime episode, it was when I was a Narutard (hate to admit it. but… yeah.). I don’t think she knew that not all anime were like Naruto, so Junjou Romantica surprised her. A LOT. lol.

Wow. The ED isn’t that different from last season, and neither is the OP. Both are still awesome, though. I love the part with Miyagi and Shinobu on the cell phones, and the panda from the ED is kawaii.

What’s your favorite pairing? Junjou Romantica is definitely my first favorite pairing, but second is a tie between Egoist and Terrorist. THEY’RE BOTH SO GAY. (I just had to put that in.) I don’t know why so many people dislike Junjou Terrorist, aside from the LARGE and ANNOYING flashback scenes from FIVE SECONDS AGO. If you skip past the flashbacks while rewatching the two episodes they take up, they become more likeable. Really. Go do it. Now. RAWR.
