No great loss, this one. It sucks just like almost every other BL-turned-anime series in existance.

Live-eviL did something tasteless for April's Fools Day. Everyone agrees that it was tasteless. Even the L-E people responsible know that their joke was tasteless. (Though they seem to be eager to argue about their right to be tasteless.)
Let's let that joke go now. It seems that L-E isn't going to be issuing an appology, so let's not let them ruin this thread with pointless bickering. I'm sure that they are enjoying all the attention that you are giving them. Simply ignore their tasteless parody and enjoy the actual show. You can boycott all L-E subs if you want, or else just pretend that they don't exist when you post here.

I didn't want to offend any body, I purposely avoided using certain language or lines of joking that could be found extremely offensive in my mind (like that dreaded "f" word (and no, not the 4 letter one)). I thought that "q" word was okay cause we have a team of guys parading around on TV calling themselves that, but what can you do... It was suppose to be trolling shounen ai fans and apparently it worked well. It was NOT intended to be a personal attack on anyone. If you notice we've had a disclaimer up on our site about its offensiveness since April 2nd since April fools has passed now... PLEASE, get back to discussing the merits of the show itself. I'm sick of this discussion ^^; If I've offended anyone on a personal level, I am deeply sorry. -Tofu |

So they upped Sei and M/Toichi's relationship to a whole different level, yet made Rin's male partner into a female? It seems they noticed a lack of female love interests. In any case, though this raises my interest to check out the manga adaptation, I must say I agree with you on the drama. How clever they are for pushing all my buttons when they even included a long beach scene. But more than that, Moichi was Sei's pillar of strength, and I ached for him when he lost Moichi, which lead to him losing his sense of empathy, in the end.
Hideaki Ito and Shuji Kashiwabara, you are wonderful. Shoujomagic lost all interest in this project, but that certainly won't discourage me from tracking down the manga in the bookstores. Because Yasha captivates that much. On Topic: Um, uh, Kazuki should stop with the stalker tactics now. |

(Oh boy, L-E is shooting themselves on the foot this time.) Anyways, the art looks great for this new BL series. The bishies all look so good. (sorry let me wipe my drool.) I was hoping it'll be 26 eps long but I guess BL can't go so far.

I know it's shounen-ai but how come there is almost never strong female characters in those shows? It should be a balance there because the show is somehow "missing" something without any sentral female character. Like Gravitation has this perfect balance.
What's the odds? No females only because it's an all-boys school. |

If you want to watch a series with equal amout of straight/gay characters who actually get important storyline then I'd recommend watching CLAMP series like X or CCS. |

I've found this thread to be of equal parodic value to E-L's fansub. Allow me to quote some of the things I have read here and so that we may all see the humor. Laughter is some kind of soul medicine, after all.

Having said that, BL is about guy/guy relationships and interactions. Even if they don't even remotely resemble real guys, that's what the emphasis is on. I think it's pretty understandable why a lot of authors just stick with an all male cast, in that regard. (I also like one gender--male or female--boarding school stories, so perhaps I don't really mind it all that much...) |

On topic, I want to say I'm so glad it's Kazuki x Keita. Points if there are secondary romances along the way, then, I could shamelessly gawk at the pretty in that series. |
