  Continuation of how to write a bad romance. This season and previous glorify rape and abusive relationships.

  Oh, that evil Junjou Romantica who uses molestation, which is a form of sexual harassment as a plot device. Oh, this evil Junjou Romantica glorifies toxic relationships. So good that there is Sekaiichi Hatsukoi which is better. Wait, this is total nonsense. SEKAIICHI HATSUKOI DOES THE SAME
  Is there a problem with this anime? In the fact that it seems that it was written by a homophobe who wanted to ridicule gays and took all stereotypes about gay molesters, aggressive, perverted, the stereotypical division into seme and uke because in a couple two men must be woman and man.
  Sekaiichi Hatsukoi's problem is that the relationship it shows is a toxic hell. They can only be called hysterical, melodramatic, violent, manipulative, clownish, but not romantic. And I can explain it. The end of the first episode is disgusting.
  Ritsu drinks at Takano's house. And it's okay, but suddenly sexual harassment begins. And Ritsu yells no, stop, but Takano sees what Ritsu is in. He is very drunk, and Takno starts mumbling romantic things in his ear, and suddenly the moment is interrupted. And we have a scene where Ritsu wakes up in bed and doesn't remember what happened. Do I have to explain such banal things? A drunk person cannot consent to sex! What Takano does? Takano takes advantage of this state by manipulating him to get what he wants. In addition, Ritsu refuses to give him permission. I don't need to say what it is.

  

  This season differs from the first only in that Ritsu is no longer a victim of sexual harassment 24/7, and is getting a little closer with his "love".

  

  Takano doesn't take Ritsu seriously. It shows all the time that you dominate it, it shows its 'toxic masculinity, because I don't even know what to call it. They can't talk normally. Takano does NOT like Ritsu. Instead, talk to sexually harasses him. As in season 1, episode 3, he molested Ritsu or force kissed him. He treats him like a stupid kid, not an equal man and partner. Plus he plays the victim. How? Takano laughed in Ritsu's face as he confessed his love to him 10 years ago. How is he acting now? Like a bad boy. He thinks Ritsu is a fool because he says something to him all the time like, "Dummy, I know you love me." In addition, Yokozawa blames Ritsu for Takano's depression after Ritsu quit him 10 years ago. No, Takano didn't take Ritsu seriously, and Ritsu has the right to his own limits and doesn't have to go out with such a person. In addition, Takano is jealous. Not as much as the famous molester, oh sorry writer Usami Akihiko of Junjou Romantica, who wouldn't let poor Misaki go to meet his friends. He gets so jealous just the thought of seeing Ritsu with other guys. Humor is OK. Kisa and Yukina are great people for whom I give +10 points.

  

  The plot is the same. Empty, boring, repetitive, built on the worst cliche.

  There are sweet moments. Yes, but it's the same as coming to a crime scene and sprinkling glitter on everything. Or how to say that a tyrant neighbor who beats his wife is good because he kissed her once. It's a toxic relationship because really cute moms get mixed up with real abuse.
  I'm not surprised that Ritsu doesn't want to deal with him. But this season he likes him more. Apparently, the beloved Stockholm Syndrome is starting to work because I don't know what else.
  I don't even know what to say. This is better than Romantica? Are you kidding? Just because Romantica is officially a problematic anime that has already shot itself in the leg showing harassment, and more specifically, molestation? Sekaiichi has the SAME in the third episode of the first season. Sex manipulation in Junjou Episode 2? It's the same in Episode 1, Season 2. I am shocked because it is already considered good. Sekaiichi is the same garbage, but only less rapey. I am shocked and would not recommend this crap to anyone.

  

  I have reviews for the first season, but I don't even want to go back to that. I think I explained in TWO reviews why Sekaiichi is not much better, just less rapey and that's it.

  A good representation on how to outperform your previous season.

  This season, in my opinion is better than the first in many ways.

  I don't know exactly where to start. But I think I will begin by saying that once you are familiar with the characters having watched the first season, it makes this one a lot more enjoyable to watch. I will start by saying that I feel like this season has lot more depth in the mind of the characters and it is something I appreciated very much. I started to even find myself relating to some feelings and thoughts that these people were having and it made for a great watch with wonderful immersion.

  I enjoyed that there seemed to be more of somewhat... flavor inside of this season. There were moments when I thought brawls were about to take place. There seemed to be more tension inside some of the scenes and even more pressure. They definitely ramped up the drama this season and it is very much a palpable difference. I think since now I have finished both seasons and we will possibly not be getting another one, I can now talk about the characters in a way of tiering them based off what I've seen in the anime.

  Spoilers Ahead

  First off I would like to say that not one time did any of the three main stories we have not keep me invested in what the couples had going on respectfully in their own episodes. Each one of them gave a different vibe and it was wonderful because I found myself wanting to figure out more of so and so after a few episodes. I actually cared about how things were going on the end for Kisa, or Ritsu or Chiaki. It kept me more invested than the first season for sure.

  I will say however that Kisa was probably my favorite of the main 3 because he showed vulnerability in his ability to recognize his insecurities. Of course every character had their flaws, with Kisa being insecure, with Ritsu being in denial, and with Chiaki being dense and ditzy. But being self aware is always nice to see in a characters development as far as getting to know what kind of person they are. I also enjoyed his story probably second most because of the fact that they really spiced up the drama with his story. I truly thought Kou was gonna run the fade over his man lol. Things like that gave me a small dopamine rush when being so used to the very relaxed vibes they usually bring.

  I would like to point out that the rest of the stories were in no way bad at all either. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Ritsu be in denial this time around because overall he finally ended up coming to a conclusion slowly but surely. I will say however that it was unfortunate that it took this long for this man to finally come to terms with the way he was feeling about Takano, I wish he wasn't so beat by his trauma. I like that Takano was persistent in chasing after Ritsu though and never truly gave up. It made for a slightly different appeal. The dynamic between those two is always the same concept so sometimes it gets a little stale but overall Takano is always there for the curveball recovery.

  I'll space out the spoilers so it doesn't look funny in the final cut lol, but another thing I'd like to touch base on is the soundtrack. My god...was the soundtrack to this season actually amazing. Filled with a bit of soul and much emotion to match the depth and lingering weight of the different thoughts and processes these 3 main characters were going through internally. It really felt like the music brought you deep into their world and as a music head who makes beats myself and has endless adoration for music, it was really appreciated.

  The animation itself really held it's consistency, but that's to be expected as older anime was more hand drawn than anything and this was also not a super huge anime like how New-Gen anime are, getting pushed out in ridiculously short crunch times. I had no complaints about the actual animation nor the art style as again this time it was much easier to keep track of everything considering I had already seen the first season prior to watching this to completion.

  Overall, I feel like there was more drama, more character building, more slice of life feel to this season as opposed to the first one which now after watching this, feels like just one big introduction to this season haha. It also seemed to keep the same consistency with the comedy as the first season, if not just a little bit more than the first season in fact. It was really refreshing because it felt like a perfect balance between balance, slice of life, and comedy which I can really enjoy.

  I still do think that most of the drama that occured however was due to misunderstandings and childish behavior from the main cast. It felt more like "tea" than drama sometimes as like I'm just this person on the outside looking in on a high school student talking about something that happened between some popular couple lol. Not so big of a deal considering Jealousy, Accusations, and Conclusions are all drawn pretty much consistently in this show. I just wish sometimes they could sit down and have a talk like the adults that they were before it got to the point of someone getting their feelings hurt.

  With all that being said though, my point still stands that for me this season had a little bit more life and comedic than the first which is nice and makes me yearn for a third season even though I know that we will most likely never ever get it. But that's okay by me to be honest. I liked the story for what it was even though at times it was a little washy and cringe but then again that's sort of kind of (no offense to you BL lovers out there lol) the niche norm when it comes to this genre.

  Now it's onto Junjo Romantica, and hopefully I can get the same feel and interest as I did Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi for that show as well as they are set in the same universe. That's all for now.
