Gravitation

I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but I was glad I did it in the end. It was an engaging story from start to finish. I only knocked off some stars for the outdated and problematic portrayal/tropes of gay men. I recognize it for what it is though and the time I which it was released. I still enjoyed it and was rooting for the main characters the entire time! A definite watch no matter your orientation.

Gravitation is just absolutely awesome. It's one of the best animes I've ever seen. The characters are original, and the story is so good!! The shounen-ai is an extra thing in it in my opinion. There are lots of really good jokes in it (eg. Ryuichi is playing with Japanese words) and basically it is also a love story, a really good one. If you don't mind the shounen-ai (male/male love) you must see it. It's an No. 1 anime!! ^_^ My favorite character is Yuki Eiri, well... I guess most of the girls think like that. He's the absolutely cool character. Shu-chan is really cute and funny. And Ryuichi Sakuma is also funny, but sometimes he can be really serious, and than he's awesome. And the music is also really good. The singing voice of Shuichi is Kotani Kinya, and he's voice is really godlike. I just love it. The lyrics are also really sweet, a nearly cried when i first read the In The Moonlight and the Shining Collection. But Nittle Grasper's songs are also good. There's one thing I can say: "Utsuru toki o osorenaide" - (Don't fear the time of change) /Ryuichi in the song Sleepless Beauty/

All of my friends who have seen this show have become obsessed and madly in love with Yuki!!! While I'm not an obssesive fangirl of this show, It has great music and animation, and is often meaningful and funny. The only thing bad is that there are only 13 episodes and it is only availible in Japanese(which is ok, because dubbs can ruin a show)

This anime is one of the few, GOOD shonen-ai series. It is a story about love (not sex): the 'gravitation' of two people and how their relationship affects everyone around them. The plot is based heavily on the personalities of its diverse, interesting and overall likable cast of characters. Once you get over the notion that just about every one of these characters seems either gay or bi, it's really great fun. The soundtrack is really good, too, if you like Japanese techno.

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.
