I know right! D8 the creator even said that she wanted to do a relationship that didn't care about gender. The voice actors stated that they were walking a thin line with Japan's censorship Laws (regarding homosexual things shown on tv at certain times)

All the staff comments, the lovey dovey scenes how can you NOT think 'its a love story!'

Love is different than a smut story >-< lets leave the smut up to our imaginations and enjoy the pure romance of it all.

It's definitely not a smut story, but certainly romance.

Interesting about the censorship laws, though.

Its why the kiss was hidden by victors arm.. o3o japan is still squirmish over boys kissing on tv i guess

Some old person is waving their cane around declaring, "It's gonna infect our kids with the GAY!"

X'D

Though I did read that even though Japan won't allow gay marriage in their country (yet) they are starting to accept the marriages that happen outside their countries (i almost wrote company >->,) ;w; people won't have to 'adopt' their lover into the family any more for them to be seen as 'family'

Progress is happening, slowly but surely.

Progress moves along gradually everywhere...

Some day, there will be less issues that people are dicks about.


We can only hope.

I hope one day even the places that execute gays will one day except them.

I'm too excited now ._. i can't bring myself to watch the next ep of YOI... Gyaaa Dx earlier there were too many things happening and now i'm too excited

I've partially watched all the episodes (except today's), because my GF has been watching it.

But I've seen the first 3 and paid attention, in English. I'd have watched more, but I don't have a premium account for Funimation.

did they never air Gravitation on tv? (genuinely does not know) . . . i love that story

GRAVITATION! x3 -runs around with her dvds, manga, LN, and plushie of Kumogoro-

If they did air any of the BL like Gravitation, Junjou Romantica, and others like them, it would prolly be aired late at night and on certain channels where 'youngins' can't see them

Toho - ovo i'm watching both versions. English on Funi and Japanese on Crunchy x'D the dubs are sooooo good x3 I'm happy they did a great job. AoharuxMachinegun dubs were disappointing ;-;

Augh...I wish I had internet at home because, just based on the gifs, I really wanna watch YOI.
I've seen a few people mention it in the last few months and it looks amazing.
*is severely behind in the convo probably*

-tries to share her internets- OnO

I wonder when they'll release YOI on Bluray ._. -wants-

Oh man...if I can buy it to watch, I so will.
Because just watching the gifs makes me ache to see it. The motion and animation is just so smooth and elegant.
I NEED THIS!

The story is pretty good too ovo

I believe it.
If I have time, I may try to watch an episode or two on Saturday. I'll be at the front desk for an event, so it'll probably be a slow day...

>w< let us know if you're able to watch it!
I'ma finish S3 of Junjou Romantica then watch the new YOI ep. ovo
