What else is there to say but "It's Gravitation!"
Once getting over the gimick of "Hey! Look at the gay guys!" this show still has some neat stuff to offer. The singing is amazing, just check out the OST. The characters are amazing. The songs are great. It's histerically funny. The background music is superb. The animation is -very- pretty. And did I mention the music?
Get used to The Rage Beat, though, because you're going to hear it a thousand times. And you better like random English, because at -least- a quarter of this completely forsakes Japanese.
Which is really, really funny. ^^ After Sakano-san's random outburst of "Oh my sweet baby" whilst spinning his head, I had no respect for my own language anymore.
If you're looking for plot, though, go far far away. There's really nothing more than the band thing and the Yuki nonsense. Yeah, you finally learn what happened in his past. Ta-da.
Rather, this show is driven by the characters. Especially Ryuchi! Kumagoro BEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!
((You might want to check out the OAV for that one.))
So if you're a shounen-ai fan and you want something cute and fluffy, this is the show for you.
((Also recommended: FAKE))

WOW! Excellent drawing from this anime which make me like this anime. The story is good, about someone who not give up so easily to be with someone he loved. Many people had bad past, but this anime touch us to forget about the past and learn to enjoyed the time which we had. And sometimes the story can made me laugh, that's very funny when Shuici did something unusual.
I think this anime is not story about "Gay", but very coincidence that the one who he love is a man.
And the songs from this anime for tv series and ova is great. I really like the song, especially from the ova version (song : IN THE MOONLIGHT). This song is really saying about Shuici-kun and Yuki in ova, the lyric is honestly GOOD.

This is my all time favorite anime/manga of all time. Not only is it hilarious and cute and bubbly but it has a very beautiful love story and a very strong message about love. It really shows the point that love is love and cant be denied no matter the gender.
And the characters, oh my what would gravitation be with out its wonderful characters. The star, Shuichi Shindou, is a young aspiring musician with a killer voice. He has a super hyper personality you cant help but fall in love with. He is very passionate and would do anything for those he loves. And then there's Eiri Yuki, a beyond beautiful writer with a cold and harsh personality. He is very smart and witty and a very interesting and great character. Shuichi's best friend Hiro is the genius guitarist for their band bad luck. Hiro is a very sweet character and a great friend to Shuichi. Then there's the o so lovable Ryuichi. He is probably the craziest character in this series. he is a lot like Shuichi(crazy and hyper)but actually even more crazy and hyper. He acts like a child a lot but when he sings(hes the lead singer of the band nittle grasper)he gets super serious and crazy cool. He also happens to be Shuichis idol. Another grand character is Bad Lucks manager K. Hes a trigger happy American that will stop at nothing to help Shuichi and bad luck.
Gravitation is a story about two unlike people falling in love even though there are many obstacles in their way. This series i feel could never be hated by anyone and everyone who watches it is sure to fall in love.

I absolutely love Gravitation. It's honestly sweet and human and in most ways, very believable. One of the only Anime with 100% authentic feeling. The music is a big plus as well, as is the writing. Givent I've never seen the English Dubbed version of this anime, but if it's half as good as the Original Japanese then I'm sure it's wonderful. Being that this is my favorite yaoi, I've only got good things to say about it, and though others are entitled to their opinion, to those who insult it for being either "stupid", "immoral" or "unnatural" can I just ask you to open your minds and watch it? You may really love it. Also, most fan's who watch it are in love with yuki and his bad boy ways, this is not me, personally I prefer Ruichi in all of his childish glory.
A common misconception about Gravitation is that if you are a male, you have to be gay or bi to enjoy it. This isn't true. The relationship between Shindo and Yuki is only half of it - the music is also a huge part, and it's very good. The voice acting is excellent, especially by the last few episodes. Just don't watched the dubbed version. The "gay" part is VERY tame (especially compared to the manga).
Though the storyline gets off the track of the original manga, it basically stays on track, even though some of the characters have different parts (in the manga, Noriko comes in way before K-san and has a much bigger part, the scene with Aizawa Taki is a lot more drawn out and intense, et cetera). The ending to the anime is well done and it doesn't seemed rushed or dissatisfying. This is good not only for people who like shounen-ai, but people who like a lot of colour and Japanese club music.
