Yeah this thread is kind of getting special now. I'm not quite sure what exactly in this episode struck such a nerve that people are getting violent reactions to perceived BL, but I'm just looking forward to seeing what gets held against it next cause I honestly can't even guess.
I don't even think it's anything the show did poorly in particular so much as every season there seems to be one show that just gets either every kind of accusation and criticism from angles I would never suspect hurled against it really early and typically continually throughout it's run or it gets these generalized complaints of showcasing bad writing, plot holes, bad pacing etc. and it always seem to be the same kind of show. Something with a Shonen action vibe, big budget, equal shares of male and female fanservice (though did this really have all that much?), kind of effeminate male lead that doesn't appear to be immediately on top of his game from the get go, universe that choses to exhibit world and setting rather than character building early on, large cast...these particular elements either in whole or part just seem to be absolute poison when it comes to getting constructive criticism let alone a good reception out of the gate nowadays.
So while I can say the content of the criticisms is surprising and kind of random I can't really say I'm surprised that it's K that is attracting them.
