| Okay, so I just finished watching Junjou Romantica 2, and it was awesome. So now I'm, once again, without an anime to watch. I dislike when it's drawn in 'old style' like Sailor Moon or Fushigi Yuugi, and when it doesn't have a good story. Some that are recommended for it was Gravitation and Antique bakery, but I'm convinced they're not my style. The Antique bakery men both look way manly... Which I dislike. I don't want hentai, because... I don't watch hentai. Deal. I know I'm picky, but I don't want to end up with an anime I dislike, and just drop it... So, anyone still has a good anime for me? xD |

| Hm, try Gakuen Heaven. The drawing style might look 'old', but it's not bothering at all. http://screenshots.fansub.tv/790/1/4.jpg I thought the show was quite cute. |

| Don't bump threads, especially after seven minutes. Please give people some time to answer. You really can't be picky when it comes to BL anime, since there's very little of it and a lot of it is really short and hard to follow if you haven't read the manga. Or it just sucks. You should watch Gravitation. It's the best BL anime out there that tells a full story, and it tends to appeal a lot to new/younger BL fans, which you seem to be. Loveless and Antique Bakery are better, but they're just homoerotic shoujo and jousei respectively, although they are both frequently labeled as yaoi. Don't avoid Antique Bakery because of the art; it grows on you and the story makes up for it anyway. And you have seen FAR too few anime to say that you dislike oldschool anime (unless your list is super incomplete) so I'm going to recommend you Kaze to Ki no Uta anyway. Everyone I know who has seen the OVA has been hooked and gone to the manga, which is by far the best boy's love title I've ever read. |

I mean, I don't want a anime like Paranoia Agent where I don't get what it's about. I guess it's worth a shot. I might try it then... But I don't think I'm going to watch Antique Bakery. I just seems... I don't know, maybe if I can't find another anime. I'm just saying I don't really like the style that the characters are drawn in, I don't dislike the story of oldschool animes or anything. Just the drawing style. |

| Rofl I'm not really into Shounen-ai so I can't recommend you that much >_< Anyway all I can recommend is Angel's Feather. To be honest it's not really a great OAV but it still watchable. I'm not into Shounen-ai that's why I give it a 3 but I think it still enjoyable for those who are into it. And seconding for Loveless, I haven't watched the anime but I have read some chapters of the manga and it's really a good manga. If the series is as good as the manga then it's really worth watching. |

O hai thar, Bunny-chan ^^ Angel's Feather, eh? Never heard about that one :3 EDIT: Humm... Two episodes, and the plot seems somewhat... Messed up? And the reviews didn't really speak well of it... I think I might skip this one. |

| You truly are picky, Gravi is from 2001, its not old at all! I dont usually watch the anime for yaoi, but some ive heard are pretty good (and that have a more modern animation) include Sukisho and Yami no Matsuei, although the latter isnt neccessarily yaoi. The problem is, most yaoi is heavily graphic, so you're not allowing for a lot of options. Dont be afraid to try something you might drop, who cares if you drop it? And you might find something you really like in the process. *Edit- actually yami no matsuei is older than gravitation |

Yaoi=gay man sex What more do they need to know? |

Yaoi=gay man sex What more do they need to know? What the terms literally mean vs. how they were originally used vs. how they're used in modern-day Japan vs. how they're generally used in modern-day English-speaking fandom. Although my policy is "BL is not porn, yaoi is porn, now shut up". |
| Wow...people on gaia think too hard...sometimes just not thinking too hard makes life so much easier |
| If you hate the art watch the Jdrama of Antique Bakery or the Korean movie (Kim Jae Wook *_______*) of it. |

| I really liked Yami no Matsuei. |
| http://myanimelist.net/blog/ladyxzeus Scroll down. There's a list for you. Most Shonen Ai BL series are really badly crafted, even though they pretend to have a story and characters. Junjou is by far the best of mild BL immediatly followed by Antique Bakery. So far the best I've watched (and I've watched some) belong to the core section. |
