It gives Junjou this European feel, like I'm watching Heidi or something, not a BL. And, not to be mean, but seriously, these new songs sound as if they were cheaply done. As if they just snatched 'em out of a public music archive (not to look down upon those because you can find some real awesome music there). But a lot of the music just sounds generic.
Have you also noticed the near absence of chibi's? And if they are used they're not in Nakamura's unique style. I'm not just nitpicking, I'm trying to point out the things that have changed this season. Now for other people out there these changes might work for them, but I'm not one of 'em.
I'm not going to stop watching Junjou, I still like seeing these characters animated and I LOVE the voice acting (<3 Nowaki), and I like following their relationships. I just think this season isn't as stellar as the first. And I'm still holding out hope for the terrorist couple. Hopefully this is the couple they will show next week, but I have a gut feeling they're going to save them for the end.

No sex in the champaign room...
...Or in Junjou Romantica, it seems. Have you been watching the new season? Things just seem, different, and the absence of sex scenes is just one of those differences that stood out to me. Don't get me wrong, sex scenes does not a good anime make. I guess I'm just curious how we go from sex in every episode to absolutely none. Did they get in trouble for being too risque?
Okay, okay, the way I'm going on and on about this sex thing people are going to start to think that was my favorite part of the show. But it's not! Actually one of the things I really enjoyed was the soundtrack. I felt it gave those emotional moments life and vitality. I do believe that this show would not be as "romantic" without the music. But this new season doesn't make much use of the previous seasons soundtrack. In fact, they use mostly the same 3 or 4 bg's over and over again. And there is this one song they use repeatedly. You'll recognize it when you hear an accordion. Man, I am not feeling that accordion.
