After a couple of years off, the creators finally dropped a third season of this show, oddly titled with 2024 in it for some reason I genuinely can't figure out. The story basically picks up right where things left off, following our lead Mobu as he keeps trying to survive inside this whole BL universe, just another character desperately trying not to fall for another guy. Season two left us with his relationship with Kikuchi, and this season kicks off right as Kikuchi heads off to university, which means Mobu's single again and honestly couldn't be happier about it. With six episodes, each running about 23 minutes, this is a quick, easy watch. Now that Mobu's back to being single, he's got to stay alert for every signal or trope that could end up pulling him into another relationship with a guy if he's not careful. So across these episodes, we watch him run into two of these signals per episode through the people around him and how they end up falling for each ...
Some random dominatrix woman decided to call herself leader and sole female member of titular Berlin revolutionary group inspired by Reich, Marx and legendary 70s German anarcho-terrorist organisation. Some members of her gang kidnap a wealthy young man, whom she orders to have sex with another man, because “Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses" (whatever that means). Pretty soon there are a few groups who become a subject to man to man sex. All this time random slogans are loudly said and force fed the audience through scrollers like a news reel.
That's pretty much to it, this film. Plenty of nudity and hard penis shots and some self-appointed leader running around shouting BS and telling the guy's to have sex with each other . This was too stupid. I kept wondering to myself, myself, what must one be going through in their heads to put something like this on screen. I mean, there must have been some idea of some sorts for the makers to get financiers, actors etc; but this clearly had nothing going for it. Honestly, this film was an embarrassment to watch. I don't believe anyone is trying to justify this film by calling it a comedy, a satire. This is definitely none of those. This film has no redeeming features. It does have non-event actors; a rubbish script and a truly irritating habit of superimposing quotes from some leaders that I don't care about, over scenes of graphic intercourse. Its quite possible on of the worst films you will ever see (assuming this still can be categorized as a film). (0.5/10)

Me skipping through the thing in 10 minutes: Holy mother of all bagpipes - what is that?!
Me 5 minutes after skipping through the thing: Time for a cup of valerian infusion. On second thought - let's make a whole pot of that. A strong one.
Well, this... thing... probably didn't have any budget at all - looking at the result the people holding cameras definitely had no idea what they're doing, the actors had no idea of what acting is supposed to look like, the script was nonexistent and wtf with these slogans flashing left and right and everywhere? You're right, this is definitely not porn - porn has to give the viewer something to watch, but here there was nothing to watch since everything was so blurred, fragmented and flashing - barely visible that is. Call me fussy, but I seriously don't think watching porn equals trying to get at least some idea on who's doing who on the screen. Plus all this politics, eww.
You did an enormous job trying to think outside the box and look for any point or meaning in this... thing. Since I don't have a box at all I came to two background stories: 1) the makers had too much spare time and unfoundedly high self esteem and probably thought they were making something shocking. Eem... fun fact - ? Anyone who has survived the 90s is not shocked; and 2) My friend sent me a meme with a joke "-Could you tell me the way to the town, please? -Sure - you go right through this cannabis field until you reach the talking river. It will tell you the further instructions." The makers of this... thing... have definitely gone through a few cannabis fields and seen a few talking rivers :D A sober mind CAN NOT produce such result.
Phew, what did I just see?! This calls for a therapy night. "Esteros" and chocolate it is :D
Btw: Hello from Bulgaria. Here for a short 3-4 day trip.
