Blind Reaction: Classmates 

The animation style of this anime is just UNGODLY AND UNIQUE

Oh my god they were classmates

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

The manga this film is adapted from follows them through their lives, it's quite wholesome

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 ❣

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

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

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

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

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

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") -

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Shark watching bl?? That wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card 😭

so surprised ur reacting to this lmao

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 :)

I adore this movie, wish it was longer or had a sequel!

the way I SCREAMED when I saw your video i love this movie 🥺❤️

honestly, i think it'd be so much fun to have shark watch bananafish

My comfort anime film! I need to track down the manga sometime.

Now THAT'S a happy shark if I've seen one ✨✨i loved your reactions to this. Edit: JESUS i just saw the total stress in your eyes when the teacher part came

THIS WAS SO CUTE WTF

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

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

27:19 this is my favorite part lmao!

Yeah older bl’s can be… problematic but this one is rlly good and wholesome compared to the others. (I’m looking at you Lovestage 👀)

one of my fav anime movie, its just such cute queer movie (deciding to ignore the teacher 😁) as a queer person i was crying watching this bruh ☠

Not surprised of this reaction at all since Shark has a fetish for gay panic cuteness.

This is such a sweet tale, and surprisingly I really love the art style, simple yet very effective like the story. Aaahh also reminds me of how much I'd give for _Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation_ reaction!

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.

Boy did the notification catch me off guard 🏃🏃

OMG I love this movie! I can’t believe you reacted to it!

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

It was so fun to watch you react to this! :D

I only heard of this a couple days ago when I saw that it won so I am excited to see what the hype is about.

This was my first gay movie I watched when I was 22

I think I've seen this already but I honestly don't remember so this'll be a recognition test for me lmao.

The ‘shut the fuck up’ got me dying🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Loved your reaction! ❤ This beautiful movie is so special to me, I've seen it many times and I can still feel the same emotions. The story, art, characters, voice actors, everythig was great.

AHHH THANK YOU SM FOR POSTING THIS REVIEW IVE BEEN WANTING TO WATCH THIS MOVIEE

AAA THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS!

I am excited for these waves of shows and movies, people just being normal in their relationships without it revolving around being intended as Adult Entertainment for the viewer.

HOLY SHIT??

I'm excited to watch your reaction later 😍 (I'm at work rn 😅) I have all doukyusei related mangas and even the teacher has his own story. The art in the movie is very accurate and it's a great adaptation.

Please make more reactions like this. Absolutely love the reaction and I love this movie.

I need to see shark reacting to sk8. It would made me as happy as when shark reacted to Yuri on ice ^^

His reaction was literally my reaction. ❤😂

Talking about different styles of animation I think you'd love ping pong the animation

Wow It really cool I didn't expect that you'll react that movie 💫

Gay soap opera seems about right🤣🤣😂

Ik this was a year ago, but I TOTALLY recommend watching “Given” it is a bl, and it has amazing music. It is about music after all, music with a side of sad gayness BWAHAHA

I can't wait for your reaction for owl house finale its pretty good.

One of my favourites.❤❤❤

Great movie. This is my first time watching.

9:10 caught me off guard bro 💀

I love your reaction dude❤ you should check MIGNON it's an animation too but a little bit more intense. Thanksss

BL REACTION YAY

damn u watching gay stuff now

Watching this anime made me realize how disgustingly people are trying to normalize sexual assault and sexual harassment as “it’s part of the growth process”

I love this film and the manga so much!!! thanks for watching it here is a little spoiler from the ending of the manga (it will put a smile on your face for sure): pm1.narvii.com/6270/2a633d9559b7346c2ce544c22865be68c81be2bd_hq.jpg
