Fake

"Fake" roams around the troubled relationship of two American cops while solving a complicated case.

As great fan of the manga I held up my expectations for this OVA. This anime adaptation of "Fake" focus on the Act 5 of the Manga, published on the second volum which, by itself, reduces very much the potential of the story. The flashback trick of the manga is explored here, but it was still disappointing not to see more.

The manga story holds many detailed complexities, that were basically left out in the anime. However, it's still a great action and mystery tale.

The characters were prefectly characterized: many hints and a lovely flashback are presented for us to know what is going on between them. However, for those that have not read the manga, a mistery remains: who the hell are Bikky and Chal and what are they doing there?

Special kudos for the voice actors, a great cast that worked their job perfectly. Only Dee's voice seemed "not quite right", but after some minutes I got used to it and now I can't imagine him differently.

This is very enjoyable, much more for the adventure and mystery than for the BL (which, being near to none and not explicit at all, is well done and realistic). read more

These two guys have to be the worst policemen ever. No, not because they're gay, but because they don't do their job since they're too preoccupied with butt secks.

The story of this movie was stupid, something about a murder and the two gay policemen go on a vacation where their butt secks is interrupted by ghosts and murders and a mystery.

Characters were lame, all they did was have butt secks.

I didn't enjoy this because I don't enjoy butt secks.

What an unfabulous movie based on a not-really-fabulous manga.
