I bought Gravitation dvds when I was about 12. I had already bought the manga volumes that were released. I was so fucking obsessed with this series, I slept with the manga under my pillow and cried like a bitch when my mom broke the third dvd. I remember screaming that she killed Yuki after the disc broke in half.
>>
>>85330874 (OP)
I would say it's surpassed homolust. But if you don't mind it, then it's actually a pretty alright show.

I was obsessed with it when I was 13 and I thought that it was the best BL anime ever. Now, 10 years later I only like the music and think that this anime is one of the shittiest BL anime ever made. not that we have it any better now
It's also a proof that DEEN was always shitty.
But no matter how it may suck, it was THE anime that made many people interested in BL
>>
>>85332564
Yeah, probably. It still holds a special place in my heart.

>>85332618
Apparently I had the volume too loud even though I hadn't touched it. I think she was just tired of listening to the music.

>>
>>85332851
Please tell us more in detail what happened?

How many times did you watch the DVDs before they were discovered? Did she only break it because of the music or because it was homo? Did she ever discover that it was homo? If she did, did she go after the manga too?

I'm sure many kids went through an awful exposing moment when their parent discovered exactly what they were watching (not me, though it will forever hold a special terrible place in my heart)

I just couldn't leave you Anon, I had to know more

What was her reaction when she saw that it meant enough to make you cry? Did you think to buy a replacement or did you watch the DVD enough to be able to play in your mind at any scene?

I watched Gravitation years ago, and I still haven't seen the OVA. Is it any good? Well, good considering how shit Gravitation is.
>>
>>85335118
it's decent, but the entire series seems like she gave up halfway through. the art went from webcomic level to something great, and then DUMPED.

It's always ticked me off. Grav is one of the things that first got me into anime & manga, but it never finished. it just....stopped. I need closure
>>
>>85335272
I didn't particularly like the way she drew from volume 10 on. I liked her work best after the change from volume 5 to volume 6. Volumes 6 through 9 had great art. I'm not sure how much I like the style in Ex. What is Maki Murakami doing now anyway?
>>
>>85334727
Now I just have more questions, so many more, but I'll stop if I may ask one final question please - Are you saying that you still have not replaced that DVD?

Is there even a point for you to do so anymore?

I refuse to believe this.

>>85335823
More questions? Would you like it if I left an email? I don't mind answering more. I just don't like posting the answers on /a/. But no, I never bought a replacement. I was able to get the soundtrack a few years after the incident, so that helped.
>>
Gravitation is probably one of the worst homolust shows.
The music was nice, though.
>>
>why did no one tell me there was so much homolust in this show
Because unless you're from new generation, you would have known it. It used to be the gateway homo anime.
>>
>>85336304
Is Junjou Romantica the gateway now?
>>
>>85336167
I think it was nice that it also focused on the band theme, but the outcome was terrible. Especially that trainwreck ending of manga with a panda mecha.

>>85336360
I don't know, I guess? Or that other anime that is the same exact shit.
>>
>>85336066
I'm half tempted to ask
>>85336360
Yeah, I guess Junjou would be today's Gravitation, but would we say that Gravitation was a bit more redeeming?
>>
>>85336360
Yes. Gateways anime are always cancer tier so when you become a man you can feel ashamed of having loved so much something that was cancer tier.
>>
>>85336643
I'd definitely say Gravitation is better compared to Junjou. At least Gravitation had great porn.
>>
>>85336414
Another anime? Can you remember any details?
>>
>>85336981
Anything is better than JR. That shit has no plot.
>>
My memory might be fooling me but when I started watching anime Gundam Wing and YuYu Hakusho were the hot homo stuff although they weren't really that homo, after that there was Saiyuki and Weiss Kreuz. Gravitation and Yami no Matsuei(pseudo gay but actually very gay) were actual full TV series that had homosexual content and that kind of started the "yaoi boom" in West. Then they started showing more pseudo gay shows like Kyou Kara Maou, I guess Junjou Romantica did start "another generation" the same way as Gravitation did.

>PW Comics Week: What inspired you to write create Gravitation?

Maki Murakami : It was something that I wanted to read except that it didn’t exist. So I decided to do it myself. I first decided that I wanted to do a boys’ love story; then I came up with a plot so that I could get away with it. I actually started working as the assistant to a friend’s older sister who was doing ero manga—hentai [pornographic comics]. I did that for a few years starting from when I was in my second year of high school [the equivalent of junior year in the States]. Then my friend’s sister switched publishers to a boys’ love company. I started to get to know the editors there—and then I had a falling out with the sister. Gravitation was not my debut—it was one of my later comics.

http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/new-titles/adult-announcements/article/7610-sex-amp-silliness-maki-murakami-s-gravitation.html

>>
The main yaoi gateways today are Junjo (I guess Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi now too), Gravitation, Loveless and the lewder gateways Sensitive Pornograph, Papa to Kiss in the Dark (oh god that was terrible), and Ikoku Irokoi Romantan.
Honestly the most reedeming of those is Junjo and SIH IMO, with Papa to Kiss in the Dark being the shittiest of the shit-tier shit. Only redeeming this was that it had Hikaru Midorikawa.

Gravitation and loveless were notorious for being gay as fuck so I avoided them. Though I still am kinda curious about loveless because catboys are cute.

Don't get me wrong, hearing Hikaru Midorikawa was great, but just... that premise, looking back on it... Mira was a dumb guy not to catch on to his classmate having the hots for him, and he also seems to have had no regrets for being sexed by him, even though he was crying over the fact that his "dad" might not like him [romantically] anymore. In all honesty Mira has a depressing life, but damn that ending was messed up

Gravivation is quite better than Junjou Romantica, if the mangaka stopped at book 7, I'd be deserving of a 7/10.... then she decided to draw giant panda mechas and shit.

I never understood the whole deal with Reiji. Shit was weird. At least K's son was adorable.

>>85341412
I honestly think she made the last 5 books using some kind of drug, because the entire thing went off tangents.
>>
>>85341493
When Shuichi went to America, he met a girl named Reiji who was the daughter of the company's president that wanted to sign Shuichi as a singer. She had a crush on Shuichi and there were giant panda mechas and guns and two guys named Bill and Ark who fought with K. Just go look at it.

>>85341539
Gravitation was always meant to be a parody of some sort, the author said she just wanted to relieve some stress with it and weren't trying to write a serious story. That's why she also did the doujinshi since she couldn't care a less about it, but since the TV anime was the gateway for many people they took it a bit too seriously.
>>
>>85341800
At least there were more Yuki tears.

Fujoshis actually think characters like this are fit. I've known a few, even dated one and they've the silliest concepts of what consist of fitness. Always skinny faggots with abs since they're skinny as fuck.

At least Sensitive Pornograph does what it wants to do well.

>>
>>85350311
why don't they show dicks in bl anime anymore? even censored would be better than awkwardly panning around the crotch
>>
>>85350433
Because fujoshi think dicks are icky.

Manly traits are icky to fujoshi (body hair, muscles, dicks, musky smell etc.)
>>
>>85350433

iirc it is because it's illegal in Japan? Usually dicks appear only when they get licensed in the USA.
>>
>>85350593
>fujoshi think dicks are icky
Do you even understand what you just wrote? Most, if not all BL manga have blowjobs as a part of foreplay so no, that is definitely not the case

>>85350651
Yeah but you can put a mosaic over it and it's good to go. You have dicks in regular hentai anime so I don't really get what happened with BL anime after Sensitive Pornograph
>>
>>85350851
>Most, if not all BL manga have blowjobs as a part of foreplay so no
Fujoshi like the abstract idea of dicks, but actually looking at them makes them scared. That's why they don't draw them or draw them incorrectly.
>>
>>85351135

I think you are overthincking. A lot of doujin have dicks censored with lines.

It's probably better to not show them than show ugly mosaic since fujoshi are all about the "emotional" (lel) connection.
>>
>>85351135
Dude, no. They can't draw dicks because they've never seen one. Same reason why some hentai artists draw shitty looking vaginas and tits.
>>
>>85351485
How hard is it to type "penis" into Google image search? I know they're behind technology-wise (still buying DVDs) but everyone has access to Google.

Out of the top 4, none of the dicks are drawn particularly well, and #4 doesn't show dicks at all.

They either can't draw them or don't show them. Not all of them, mind you, but a large majority.

Pixiv works in tags, not categories, so the results of your search depend on which tags you're using. There's more than one tag for the fujoshi and their stuff.
>>
>>85354484
I'm not using tags. I'm using the popularity ranking which should be a good gauge of what fujoshi are liking.

>>85354593

You need to be careful with how you interpret pixiv.
>>
>>85354985
Well I'm not going to look at the dicks from every single gay tag.

My point is, looking at the general R-18 rankings, most females suck at drawing dicks.

I'm not the only one three volume into rereading Gravitation right now, right?

>>85355379

At least it had the decency to be sort of funny.

I'm pretty sure I can watch Gravitation now and be like "Hey, this relationship is fucking stupid but I can still sort of have a giggle at it because it's at least semi-aware of its dumbness."
