| Why it is still not tagged as shounen ai ? Pretty misleading for people. |
 |
| Really hyped for the anime! But Fukuyama Jun's character's name isn't Jusis. It's Yut-Lung or Yau-Si. |
| Oh my gosh I'm super hyped!!! This 2nd PV looks awesomeeee AND LOOK AT THAT CAST!!! even with Hosoya as the bad guy omgggg |

I'm really tired of it… Continue to delude yourself in your illusions… Anyway, the trailer is promising, showing a great art and character design. Dont tell that to me im just stating what i saw, MAL need to update their tags, and not only here, but with many others too. |

Szalamandra said: Thank you very much for the correction. I just saw the Japanese wiki listing both his real name and his name in America: 李月龍（リー・ユエルン）: アメリカ名はユーシス. The official site and Twitter only listed in his English (America) name, so I just listed it. I just fixed it to mention both.But Fukuyama Jun's character's name isn't Jusis. It's Yut-Lung or Yau-Si. Castiel said: It has already been announced previously that it will be 2 cours.Please, not 12 episodes. It deserves full adaptation at once. |

You're welcome :) And thank you for the correction. Yeah, his name is really tricky, but in the manga he was mostly Yut-Lung. |
| @lady_freyja So this is not BL \ Yaoi-bait? |
 |
Still very confused... is this anime about BL or not. The answer might change whether I watch it or not. |
 |
| @lady_freyja So, if I understand correctly, in this context, this manga is a "male" version of the works about romantic friendship between the girls? Of course, I do not expect two guys will be gently looking into each other's eyes or sleeping in the same bed, but I'm wondering why so many people expect the canonical BL from this show. |
|
Continue to delude yourself in your illusions… lol what does this statement even mean. Anyway, for whatever dumb reason, I was expecting something related to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananafish_Magazine Color me disappointed. |
| I agree with @lady_freyja. There is a little BL in this but it isn't a BL title. This is hardboiled crime/mafia/gang story over everything else. Think like the shoujo version of Sanctuary. |
| @lady_freyja Lol, you were not aggressive. Moreover, I myself often meet with such discussions around PriPri or Amanchu, when the author sates a strong friendship between the characters with strong homoerotic or near-love symbolism. But if in my case it's an ambiguous Class S, then I'm interested in what should symbolize such a relationship between the two men. |
|
| Oh, yet another Mappa yaoi anime. Gonna avoid like it never existed. One Gomi on ICE was enough for me. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| mh i dont like the vibe of the pv and the mood(also visually), i'll check the next pv |
| Ah, this must be popular here. Just like Yaoi on Ice. |
| Tbqh, it seems a bit of a cop out to have a very romantic natured work and then be like... it was such strong friendship. I think it annoys me because there's usually this undertone of m/m or f/f relationships being impure if they're romantic in nature, but it's very rare to see an m/f relationship end on a note of 'we're soulmates not lovers we cannot be constricted by romance' etc etc Anyway gripes aside, I like Banana Fish and I'm interested to see it animated. But unless the story is changed (which we can't possibly know yet) it shouldn't get a shounen ai tag and I'm not sure why people would argue it should. |

| Ash's character design still doesn't sit well with me for some reason, too skinny perhaps. xD But otherwise, this is shaping up to look pretty decent. Two cours... oh man, I hope it turns out good and do the manga justice~ |
0536365157 said: How many episodes are 12 episodes or 24 episodes?!🤔 2-cour (24 episodes) I'm pretty sure it's a consecutive, not split cour. |
 |
| This is my most hyped new series outside of Grand Blue this summer. Also, hell yeah Survive Said the Prophet ! Thats a nice surprise. |
 |
| PV looks good & it's going to be 2 cours!! I'm hyped!! |
