But what will they call the sequel?
My money is on Super Duper Lovers. |

I hate this anime, but it's BL so I'll probably watch this season 2. I swear I just like to torture myself when it comes to trashy BL series. At least we have the success of Doukyuusei to hopefully gear the market towards adapting not do crappy works.
You'd think by now that people would realize that the studio does not decide things when it comes to adaptions other than just taking the job or not. (And what business would turn down any kind of profit?) They get offered a job, they get paid for that job, and they get a small cut of the profits from disc sales (maybe), but it's the production committees that decide what gets made in the end. So DEEN did not "choose" to make this sequel, the production committee did. Clearly it's selling something if the production committee is funding a sequel. You don't deem anything "worthy" of a sequel, the Japanese consumer and the committee do. |

No, I completely agree with you, but since we can't change the sales numbers, it would be better not to have it at all. Of course there are far worthier bl stories to adapt, but if they will only focus on these... they are only perpetuating the problem. I hope Doukyusei does well on dvd sales so they get the idea. |

AWESOME!!! Haven't watched the last episode yet, but knowing that there will be a 2nd season makes me happy~!!! (⌒▽⌒)
(and people who call this "trash", "abomination", and whatever else are truly bored with their lives... ╮(￣▽￣)╭ ) |

I honestly don't get why people say this series is trashy.  Please don't watch it if you hate it.

Not surprising as Super Lovers was a very popular manga. I find the whole controversy around this series hilarious as anime is rampant with subtle pedophilia to fanservice pedophilia now. However, it's perfectly fine when it's the girls who look like they are 10. Lolicon is golden, but shotacon is disgusting and amoral.

I think it should be titled Ultra Lovers. |

Wow, rude. To each their own and enjoy what you enjoy but this anime is far from an abomination and is actually one of the better ones out there. And I don't see why THIS specifically is the reason why yaoi shouldn't be animated? Ah, wait, I know, because you're bitter that your preferred show didn't get a second season so you're gonna whine about a different show that did. Wow,the envy is through the roof with this one. Don't like? Don't watch. It's animated by a different studio than Love Stage, so your attack seems absolutely baseless here. All in all, as much as I'd like to see "better" yaoi manga animated too, I will enjoy all the 'mediocre' adaptations we get before that (or will leave them alone if i don't enjoy them) because it's this "bad" stuff that's popular in Japan and makes studios even want to bother with animating something as niche as BL. No genre was perfect from the very beginning but mediocre stuff is better than nothing and leaves hope for something "good" to be animated one day. Doukyuusei is a good example because they made that movie knowing that it would do well because they knew their demographic. It's previous yaoi shows that allowed this, so even if you don't enjoy them, you could at least appreciate their existence. {Edit: I edited your 3 consecutive posts into 1. I also removed the unnessecary rude comments. From now on please just make 1 post and not multiple consecutive posts where you say the same thing. Thank you. ~ Psycho 101} |

>An adult trying to get it on with a minor >not trashy Whatever helps you sleep better at night, but I'm just not one to shy away from pointing out concerning content in my media because I'm not a mindless consumer of said media. Other than that, obviously I derive some form of enjoyment from the anime or else I wouldn't watch the entire thing. What's it matter to you what I watch anyway? Not like you're the one sitting through it with my mindset. |

Well that's hilarious because I did the same thing. Yes, despite my username. I don't think Super Lovers has a place in the anime industry to begin with. Yes shotacon fans are starved for content I presume, but wouldn't they prefer a show that's actually well directed?...or properly written? or not censored to hell and back? But even then; these are the kind of shows that eventually are taking funding from other more decent BL stories, that could be adapted if the greenlight was given. It's just an all out shame, really.

Ren may be 16 in age, but his mindset is already that of an old man's.  And it's FICTIONAL. I would understand your concerns if the boy looked like a kindergartener or something, but he doesn't and it's not like Haru is forcing him.
And blaming the "content" in the media is a bunch of BS. You can read what it's going to be about, so you know what you're gonna be watching. It matters to me because it's something I enjoy watching/reading, and it's hard to ignore rude comments like these that don't seem to respect what others like. (and you said "I swear I just like to torture myself when it comes to trashy BL series." so what do you mean by that exactly?)
Uh, this isn't shotacon, and Super Lovers DOES have a story that's properly written. I don't know what your watching (or why you're watching it if you think that way). {Edit: Please refrain from excessive quoting.. I edited your post for you. ~ Psycho 101} |

I don't remember having heard of any BL anime adaptation getting a second season green-lit this immediate. So, this is wonderful news!!! I enjoy Super Lovers (manga and anime) and look forward to it every week so I definitely look forward to January 2017!!
Any BL that get an anime adaptation is appreciated in my eyes. Any BL that get a sequel after the first season is welcome to my heart. |

1. Still a minor. 2. Fiction doesn't mean free of criticism or any thoughts about the work. Also, I'd argue he looks freaking 8, please, spare me. 3. You clearly don't get it if you think criticism of content = not knowing what you're getting into. 4. Grow up and realize not everyone will mirror your feelings/thoughts. Separate yourself from your fiction and get over what other people think abut stuff you like. Your life will be easier that way. (What should it matter to you? Again, you're not the one with those thoughts, so what does it do to you? Hint: Nothing.) |
