Takumi-kun Series 5: That, Sunny Blue Sky (2011)

This 5th Takumi-kun film is probably my favorite out of all them so far. Daisuke and Hamao feel more realistic and comfortable with each other than they ever have, and it makes the movie much more pleasant to watch as you can feel the emotions they are giving off. Their acting may not be the best to ever feature in Japanese media, but this time around I think they've hit their peak.

It's the same old Takumi you love, only this time it was a little more fleshed out. It seems like the same old Takumi problems, but for some reason it was much more interesting to watch. The music was, as always, wonderful and well used at appropriate times.

The story wasn't the best this time around but Daisuke and Hamao's acting really did make up for it, in my opinion.

The one thing that always bothered me in this series, this one included, are the flashbacks. They are oftentimes refilmed and rarely are you given any clue that what you are watching is a flashback. They could definitely execute them much better.

Other than that, I will greatly miss Daisuke and Hamao in this series! They certainly grew from the 2nd to 5th movies and you can see it for yourselves in this great film.

This last in the series really dealt with the issue Takumi first mentioned in episode one. It fleshed out his character and his relationship with Gii. It also dealt with a very tough subject, sexual abuse, and how effects are felt for years later and even affect other relationships. I loved how it ended with Gii promising to always be there for Takumi. No matter what or where he is. What a great romance these two have!! Sigh. I would say that the first episode (different actors though), the third, and the fifth are the best as they deal mostly with this pairing. Episodes two and four have other character stories that draw away from our main couple and almost act as stand alones.

I think the final part of this Japanese series was the most solid in terms of acting, and the story of the main character didn't bind so much anymore. The music was good as always and used sensitively where it should have been. Just a little thing - the creators didn't teach Takumi even the most basic thing about how to properly pull the bow on the strings when he "played the violin", but it's a minor thing. In this last volume, the yaoi elements clearly predominate (but only subtly) over the shonen-ai. I don't know why the creators changed the cast of both main heroes after the first part, on the contrary, I liked the actor Gii-a from the first part much more in terms of acting and appearance.
When I was preparing for this series, I wanted to read the reviews to prepare a little for the series. The only reviewer covered all five volumes but they gave me nothing at all, they are totally about nothing, to rate why he gave the sound sometimes 2 sometimes 3, they do not express themselves at all and the Japanese style of yaoi and shonen-ai manga that was made for a Japanese audience and not for a few scumbags from Central Europe, messing with fairy tales.

Závěrečný díl této japonské série si myslím, že po herecké stránce byl nejsolidnější, rovněž příběh hlavní postavy už tolik nesvazoval. Hudba byla jako vždy dobrá a použita citlivě tam, kde měla být. Jen drobnost - tvůrci nenaučili Takumiho ani nejzákladnější věc, jak tahat správně smyčec po strunách, když "hrál na housle", ale je to nepodstatná drobnost. V tomto posledním díle už převažují jasně prvky yaoi (ale jen decentně) nad šónen-ai. Nevím proč po prvním díle tvůrci sáhli po změně hereckého obsazení obou hlavních hrdinů, mě se naopak představitel Gii-a z prvního dílu líbil herecky i vzhledem daleko více.
Když jsem se chystal na tuto sérii, tak jsem si chtěl přečíst recenze, abych se na sérii trošku připravil. Jediný recenzent se věnoval všem pěti dílům, ale nedaly mi vůbec nic, jsou totálně o ničem, k hodnocení, proč dal za zvuk někdy 2 někdy 3, se nevyjadřují vůbec a japonský styl yaoi a šónen-ai mang, který byl vyroben pro japonské publikum a ne pro pár zabedněnců ze střední Evropy, si plete s pohádkami.

Fecho com chave de ouro

Com certeza esse é meu filme favorito da franquia, e o roteiro dele tem muito a ver com isso, foi como fechar com uma chave de ouro. Continuo enaltecendo a atuação dos atores, a trilha sonora, na maior parte instrumental, a fotografia, e todo o resto.
Mas o ponto principal pra mim, é que nesse filme, Gii teve realmente que correr para demonstrar o seu amor por Takumi. Não estou querendo dizer que o amor dele tenha sido colocado em dúvida pelos expectadores do filme, mas falo pela perspectiva de Takumi, pois todas as vezes foi ele a pessoa a sofrer, a sentir a dor, a ter o ciúme, sempre ser submisso aos desejos de Gii, sempre estar disponível para ele. Nesse filme, o Takumi se colocou em primeiro lugar e chutou o pau da barraca, foi ele que deu as cartas e Gii teve que lutar pra não perder o seu amor, pois é óbvio que da forma como Takumi estava magoado, se caso Gii não tivesse chegado a tempo na estação as coisas entre eles não seriam mais as mesmas. Takumi sempre se sentiu inferior, nas suas próprias palavras, Gii era como um milagre, alguém inalcançável que milagrosamente se apaixonou por ele, Gii era o milionário herdeiro de um império, Gii que era bajulado por todos, Gii que era o orgulho da escola, e Takumi não tinha nem mesmo o controle de suas emoções (falo da fobia). Pela primeira vez Takumi se colocou como protagonista de sua história e isso foi lindo de se ver.
