what do you guys have against shounen-ai/boy love?

but i admit this ep. was a bit weak.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I dunno about everyone else, but I think the shounen-ai was just a bit of a shock. I JUST finished reading the first volume of the manga before watching the first episode, and it definitely ISN'T shounen-ai in its original form, and Shirogane kissing Akira was a big "O_O" moment, since I hadn't seen it advertised as shounen-ai either. Though, like Ephemeral, I don't mind it in the least. >D

To those who are reminded of Loveless: Same director. I caught shades of it too watching this.

As for the series itself, from the first episode I like the pacing of the anime more than the manga (which is rare.) I think the mangaka was a bit disorganized in deciding where she was going with it, and for that reason I found it hard to get into. While the anime isn't any easier to get drawn into (okay, the music is BAD) it seems more streamlined. It's likely going to be something fun and lighter to watch while trying to wrap my mind around the plotlines in Code Geass. ^^;;

if the story takes a few steps toward the better, i wont care if its shonen-ai
as it is now, it annoys me :/
interesting concept, but meh story for now, stereotypical unrealistic shonen-ai implementation (like, of course, all the guys have gay tendencies)
good points are the art, i like that somehow, and that if it really is a shonen-ai series, there is a female character o.o unheard of
yeah and already mentioned, the concept is ok.
but, whats it with all those apathetic male main characters this season?

The gay factor of it I don't like at all. This series seems like it could definitely do without that, which personally would've made me enjoy it a lot more (though that's probably just cause I'm a guy who isn't gay nor enjoys watching gays.)

However, if that's the only bad thing about it, I'll keep watching because the concept seems pretty interesting. If the gayness does go over the top though, I'm dropping this.

Gotta go watch the other episodes and catch up...

ok then...this one makes me a little uncomfy. Hopefully they ease up off of the gay stuff. I got nothing against gays but /sigh just ease up a little. LOL funny how that guy got tricked into kissing a man though!! I'm not gay but that gay dude is kinda hot lol

I didn't like it. In fact, I found this first episode so bad that I couldn't stop laughing. XD

And yes, the background music was awesome : it really sounds like it's coming from a very bad visual novel.


Oh my...and someone mentioned on the first page as well about how he looks like Michael Jackson. I thought I was the only one. xD

This show is definitely, really bad. Haha...I mean...I don't even know what else there is to say about it. I was really hyped for this series, disappointed when nobody subbed it (or that it was moving at an extremely slow pace) and was finally able to start it only to be even more disappointed because of how horrible it was.

Of course, I'll give the second episode a shot. Usually, two episodes in is enough for me. As stated somewhere earlier as well, without all of the slashiness (and horrible animation), this series could have turned out pretty awesome.

hm.. not as cool as i had expected after reading the manga. i didn't like so much the drawing of the faces. the music is nice, to be honest i enjoyed it quite a lot.
and the slash moments were...surely cool... but i think they overdid it a little.. although the fangirl inside me was content. xD
I'll keep watching anyway, since I'm a fan of the manga ^.^ 4/5

ps: sth random... i liked the idea of Akira's hair changing color...

I kinda liked the first episode. I don't like Aya. She, alone, could cause me to drop this show. I really cannot stand loud-mouthed, bossy, super tsun/yan chicks.

Not homo enough.
Why dafuq would they block the kiss with that stupid light?

Also, Aya is really annoying.
