If this show is in the similar genre it would be a plus.MelonSama said: Cyberpunk and shounen-ai?Who else thinks this is a perfect combination? Cyberpunk aren't supposed to be romantic. It doesn't matter if the romance is gay or straight, Cyberpunk is an extremely gritty sci-fi subgenre where romantic elements would ruin the atmosphere of the dystopia. There can be sex, but romance is too idealistic for a setting so full of despair and pessimism as cyberpunk generally is. So no, I don't think that it is the perfect combination, unless the romance is full of despair and pessimism too, of course.Having said that, I will still give it a go and see how it goes. Bones and Noitamina. |

| Uwahh, I've been looking forward to this one for so long. Its going to be aired soon huh. AWESOME! |
| This can be quite good, most of the anime/movies based on the novels are good. Kinda sounds like shounen-ai.... >.> I don't have anything against a genere, but it reminds me of the all discussion about Togainu no Chi before it was released, like it's gonna be first not-cheesy-comedy shounen-ai and it turned out... well, to be honest, crap. I hope this one will be at least not painful to watch. |
Snowley said: I think that was down to it being a poor adaptation more than anything. The hype was going off the VN by Nitro+ (known for their dark and edgy stories). Ultimately, it sounded like Togainu anime suffered from the same problems as Umineko and Chaos Head anime did, it wasn't that the original story was bad, but it was just adapted badly.

I find it hilarious how some people won't watch this just because it might have some shounen-ai. Seriously, dropping a show with a nice plot just because of something like this? THIS. Good advice~ I find it hilarious how some people won't watch this just because it might have some gore, sex, robots, picture style, music style, anything. Seriously, Dropping a show with a nice plot just because something like this? What dont you like? It will be hilarous for your argument. If it is something that you dislike it is a completely reasonable to drop the series. Hilarous?, Why? O_o . I dont think that if you dont like watching homosexual romance you will be homophobic, people dont like shoujos/shonen romance for example. I think that it is completely normal and it isnt a hilarious. |

I think you got it wrong, I'm not telling the game was bad - only the adaptation. I tried to say there were big expactations since anime was based on a good game. Other anime you mentioned, Umineko and Chaos;Head were quite good by me, and if they're worse then games, they must be brilliant ;p If it is something that you dislike it is a completely reasonable to drop the series. Hilarous?, Why? O_o . I dont think that if you dont like watching homosexual romance you will be homophobic, people dont like shoujos/shonen romance for example. I think that it is completely normal and it isnt a hilarious. Well, it's true, you can't watch hentai when you find it gross, but some people judge book by it's cover - for ex. mecha anime can be psychologically deep, or ecchi can have some interesting plot. There are odds who drop beacuse they don't like the picture style and that's is just sad. It's very important to check the rewievs first, not the tags ;p |
| LOL.. I've read the manga and it's definitely interesting :D looking forward to the anime :D |
 |
| Yeah, just checked out the first chapter of the manga. Might be interesting enough to give the anime a shot. |
| I'm diggn' this. |
Sandileina said: STM said: So wait, this is shounen ai? I was excited 'cause this was a noitaminA anime, but I don't really watch shounen ai... Might check it out. Might. I wouldn't have thought that it'd be any more shounen-ai than any of their other stuff - Shiki and Kuragehime spring to mind as very recent examples. They have flavours of shounen-ai if you're looking for it, but if you're not then you probably wouldn't be at all bothered by it. Of course, I could be wrong lol. I'm very happy either way :D oooooh~~~ I'll watch it. |
     |
| I rarely watch these types of anime but I guess ill try it. It does sound kinda like a boys love thing |
  |
| Seems like it`s shounen ai from the synopsis on the anime page. Correct? |
 |
| Just got into chapter 2 of the manga. So far I guess I could compare the shounen-ai hints to 07-Ghost-level. I don't mind the shounen-ai, since noitaminA's also(mostly?) marketed to women after all (and had done it before with Antique Bakery, etc). Story-wise, it looks promising too. The only thing that I feel like's gonna annoy me is that slutty girl (forgot her name) asking for Shion's semen on the first chapter. Hope her stalker/creepy-ness would be kept to minimum. Good thing the second chapter didn't showed her. xD Also wondering why Shion's hair is changed to white in the anime promo compared to the manga being dark O_O. [EDIT] Nvm I saw the trailer... Maybe it's plot-related Anyway, looking forward to the anime. ^^ |

memeki said: I don't think it's that people are homophobes as much as that the shounen-ai might not fit the tone of the series. It seems like this wants to be a fairly serious dystopian sci-fi plot-wise, and that doesn't gel too well with a bunch of fanservice meant mostly to turn fangirls on... I don't think BL necessarily has to be fanservice-y, though. Can't they just have BLish hints? In other words, can't the show develop a relationship between two male characters that's strong enough to be interpreted as romance? I don't think there's anything particularly fanservice-y about that. If it's possible for heterosexual romance or hints thereof to belong in a serious anime, I don't see why BL - whether implicit in the text, or outright canon - has to get in the way of a serious dystopian sci-fi plot. I've no idea how NO.6 will turn out, of course. But in principle, a romance between two male characters is not necessarily just fanservice. |
| Hmmm... it does sound to be shounen-ai, but I thought that about the Toward the Terra too, and it wasn't really yaoi. I might check it out, but I'll probably drop it and pick it up again (if it gets good reviews) if it were shounen-ai. Those manga/anime usually do turn out pretty bad... |
| [An incredibly creative signature] |
| ill give a it a try because of bones, but if theres bromance brewing up, ima drop it and run |
| HI |
| To think that Bones will produce shounen-ai x.x |
| オタクなんじゃねぃよ I'm not an otaku. |
Sigsig said: To think that Bones will produce shounen-ai x.x No.6 genre isn't shounen ai,it's not a BL anime,It wount be anything more that friendship going on thought it's anoying how people might not watch this anime because they are going to pass it of as BL -_- |
