Blind Reaction: Classmates

[@stickysocks6369]

The animation style of this anime is just UNGODLY AND UNIQUE

[@Hana_H]

That’s actually a really good way to describe it tbh

[@Wuffskers]

as a gay dude I have to say I feel like they really nailed a lot of the feelings of this kind of thing, obviously young romance can get complicated and awkward already with straight people but there's this extra layer of complexity when it's gay, constantly second guessing some of the vibes you're getting because was that what you thought it was or are they just totally straight and being friendly and even if you get to a place where you're pretty sure you both feel that way about each other, there's the whole thing of wondering if it's even okay to have those feelings or do anything with each other, PDA is also almost completely off the table and even if you do PDA it's often a much bigger deal. Also surprised you didn't notice that Kusakabe is Araragi lol

[@jinhit97.]

Bro can we be friends.. you know I don't have any gay friend at all... Please.

[@ameliabatista1331]

This was originally a manga from 2006 and 10 years later they made a movie, there's a second part (only manga) that is sotsugyousei (when they graduate and live their lives together and stuff), and I really hope that they make a movie for that one too. I really loved this movie ❣

[@aventurussy]

I did not expect this at all, manifesting a Given reaction in the future lol

[@thepinkkakyoin3598]

Oh yes please Given!!

[@berryveiss810]

May the universe hear you, OHMY, if he ever reacts to Given or S8 The Infinity I might just die out of joy-

[@Hana_H]

Given or Sk8 would be awesome XD

[@aventurussy]

@@Hana_H Yeah sk8 would be cool too, is also really ridiculous pretty sure he would enjoy it

[@LeenSeoh]

@@Hana_H I would love a sk8 reaction omg ! but if we stay on the BL genre, Given would be perfect !! Shark will love these !

Oh I did NOT expect a straight (hah) up BL movie from shark lmao, I love this one a lot this'll be fun!

[@kiyara94]

"bro is this a fucking yaoi??" oh this IS gonna be fun xD

[@Hana_H]

Shark: this gay??? Me, already knowing he’ll flip: 😏

[@scarletink2600]

It's such a cute and heartwarming story. I wish there's a sequel someday!!

[@techi4584]

if you want a sequel, you should read the manga! the movie only adapts the first volume of the manga, but there's actually several volumes after that one, and it's still publishing to this day! the story continues past high school into their adult life, and in my opinion, the older they get, the more interesting the story gets. you should really read it if you have the time!

[@alyssabullock6421]

AYO, SHARK WATCHING A BOY LOVE MOVIE? Now he HAS to watch Given!!

How do we get new anime on the patreon polls, this is a need!!

[@thepinkkakyoin3598]

Definitely agree!!

[@flamingspoon2938]

So thats what BL means 😆 i was confused, hyped for this film have never watched it.

[@mharlon09.]

Yeah, so surprised you reacted to this one. I love this movie and I really liked the artstyle. My boys Sajou and Kusakabe are such a cute and innocent couple 😁 The realization of this movie being a BL (Shonen Ai) was priceless haha.

[@soul6733]

What's a shonen Ai?

[@milliegoodwin9540]

@@soul6733 shounen ai just means boy's love, it's a less intense version of yaoi that doesn't usually go beyond kissing and showing the romance

[@shiroq6714]

Shark, stop giving us hope of you starting Sk8 the infinity one day.

[@Hana_H]

[@serralinda73]

So nice to see someone reacting to this little gem of a movie. There's nothing deep or complicated or amazing about the story - it's just a simple tale, handled with finesse, of two young men figuring out how to love each other. The art style took me a few minutes to adjust to the first time I watched it, then I grew to love it. It's so different from the typical anime style - very watercolor and soft and unique. If you're ever in the mood for another BL movie, I highly recommend Umibe no Etranger (Stranger by the Sea). It's gorgeously animated and it goes a bit deeper into being a gay man in Japan - the emotional trauma that can cause, the self-hate, the fear, the lonliness. But it isn't a dark or gloomy story at all. It feels realistic, especially with the MC being an adult rather than a teenager. Anyway...thanks for reacting to this wonderful movie and so glad you liked it!

[@pinxerata]

i love this film, though the teacher section was so unnecessary and uncomfortable. kusakabe and sajou are some of my favorite bl protagonists, since they have a nice, complex relationship :)

[@bluedoris6384]

I agree, i love this film it has so many great qualities but then they go and throw that in there,,,

[@KaruuxiOldAcc]

it was amazing but the fact the teacher didn't get any repercussions made me really mad lmao

[@pinxerata]

@@KaruuxiOldAcc agreed. especially in the manga, the teacher literally gets a love story with someone YOUNGER than the protagonists of doukyuusei

[@KaruuxiOldAcc]

[@ziyahjohnston4758]

The teacher has more context in the books.

[@animuuvibes1485]

OMG I DID NOT EXPECT THAT SOMEONE WILL REACT TO THIS FILM I have read the manga and the art styles is one of the greatest ive seen and the anime got it accurately Im so happy someone reacted to this even if its bl which not a lot of people reacts so THANK YOU

[@Nimegy]

Aaaah yes this movie is sooo good and the art style is so beautiful! BTW, if you want to see somebody else react to this movie you should check out ‘Romania Black’! It’s in her ‘soapbox’ playlist. She reacts to anime AND BL which is fun to see! Her reactions/discussions are so good!! :D

[@mina-min]

ah yes the movie where the two boys make out a bunch!

[@AarenYASS]

Yo i did not expect THIS. I saw the thumbnail and was like "Wait...-" LMAo I'm shook bro. How'd we get here lol. that "Bro if they smash, i'm gonna fvcking cvm" Had me ROLLIN. - Edit: (yo stg i remember back when i first saw this, they both smash in an empty classroom IS THIS THE MANDELA EFFECT. i remember everything except for this "exam arc") -

[@theawesomest2645]

Lmaoo thats from the manga. They skip the graduation ceremony to smash if I remember correctly

[@bugdomrulez]

love this movie, kusakabe is so gender. the manga is very nice too, has some real bitter moments but is quite sweet

[@Miya2306]

I enjoyed this review. I’ve seen Classmates a few times, my favourite part is them in the sandbox and seeing Kusakabe dancing while shouting ’baka’ is very cute.

[@strawberryfaes]

so surprised ur reacting to this lmao

Oh my god, this was truly unexpected for real. This was so cute, I loved your reactions. I watched this movie so long ago that I didn't remember it being this beautiful. This was so funny and touching to watch, thank u

fun fact: Kusakabe has the same voice actor as Araragi, (and a million other characters of course).

[@TJGibson0]

If some of the line delivery sometimes reminded you of Monogatari that's because Kusakabe is voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya (Araragi's VA) lol

[@arabeviera9331]

Somehow this day, in a weird way, has been the gayest in my life for a number of reasons... yet, this is still the top of it! Not gonna mind though, this is one relationship that I always feel close to, Kusakabe and Sajou are dear to my heart in the complexity and simpleness of their love.
