| Looks cool!! High school guys fighting with demons, I will watch it! |
 |
| Look like this one is inspired by One thousand and One Night they mentioned something about it in the discription plus we also saw genie at the end of the teaser and here in the poster lol. |
| Hope it's gay. It's a super natural anime? |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Ffs, trailer looked interested so I was looking forward to it then I saw that it’s gonna be directed by the director of banana fish so it’s probably gonna be gay. What a disappointment |
| Excited to see what Hiroko Utsumi is cooking with MAPPA once again. |
 |
| I think they are minors tho. |
 |
Swagernator said: I think they are minors tho. So? They can still be gay. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| From the creator of SK8, looks interesting. |
 |
| Uh, do you often ponder about the sexual relationships of high schoolers ? |
|
| So this one gonna be a gay anime ??? It's joever 😓 |
ZXEAN said: With the same logic, you would expect every new Ichiro Okuchi anime to be a clone of Utena or Geass...oh, forget it!So this one gonna be a gay anime ??? It's joever 😓 ZXEAN said: Look like this one is inspired by One thousand and One Night they mentioned something about it in the discription plus we also saw genie at the end of the teaser and here in the poster lol. MadanielFL said: I don't know what it will be, but I'm intrigued by the resurgence of the delinquent trend and the fact that the original anime looks like generic shonen manga again.From the creator of SK8, looks interesting. |

Yes, it has BL vibes, you are right. Story is about high school guys fighting with demons. |

missslauraa said: Weeb bros think this anime is gay because Hiroko Utsumi is the story writer and director of this anime who previously worked on three famous gay anime Banana Fish, SK8 the Infinity and Free. its so funny to me how weeb bros will think an anime is gay when there is not an extense sexualized female cast lmfao |

| I was gonna say, the trailer gave me extreme Sk8 vibes (especially that green-haired dude with the piercings, he looks like an uglier version of Cherry in his high school days). Only then did I notice the director is Hiroko Utsumi, and yep, that explains it....given she's also the director of Free and Banana Fish, and based off of the cover/trailer, this anime is definitely going to lead to a lot of BL shipping(s). Have mixed feelings about that, but eh I like the Arabian Nights OST and the mix of delinquents + genie seems intriguing so I'll keep my eye on this show for sure. |

Her work is mostly hasubendo bait anime with BL bait. With the same logic, you could call Naoko Yamada a "famous lesbian anime author" due to the fact that her show's idealization of teenage female friendship often makes her anime a popular topic for yuri shipping. But other than that, I'm guessing by "confirmed" they don't mean that the characters have sexuality, but that the shows are not confirmed as BL.Swagernator said: None of the characters in those two shows were "confirmed" straight and/or gay for that matter (maybe except for Joe from Sk8 who openly flirted with girls) so saying they have a canon sexuality is a moot point. It's meaningless to speculate about it when talking about this upcoming anime anyway. Except that the SK8 the Infinity and Free are not "gay anime", they feature straight characters. It's just the community around it that's, you know. |

I think it is maybe a strong friendship between guys with care of each other? I think this is it. |

| I didn't say it was necessarily platonic. Only that the writer didn't see it as a romantic show in the first place.

| MAPPA should focus on bringing more CSM and Vinland saga instead of some yaoi-bait. |
| :v |
Swagernator said: I know you are trolling, but at least switch to an alt account that is not based around a porn game featuring high schoolers to do that lol.Uh, do you often ponder about the sexual relationships of high schoolers ? Somehow every time an anime like this gets announced you literally have the 2-3 usual suspect showing up. |

YOI sold alot of DVDs and merch because of shipping not the animation or the sport. The animation went down in quality in later episodes. |

| It's always entertaining to see the reactions in MAL threads whenever there's a new anime coming out with even the slightest hint of homosexuality in it 🤣🤣 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

After watching it, I can say that yea there doesn't seem to be anything gay about it. I wrote my original comment based off of what I was seeing others saying in here, and based off of earlier comments, I had assumed this was BL or at least had implied BL. |

| I like delinquent stuff but man I HATE these character designs... it looks kinda BLey too, not that I care since I'm not gonna watch it but I will be the slightest bit annoyed seeing a bunch of Instagram fangirl reels about it when it comes out and if it actually does end up being bl seeing the shounen guys who didn't realize getting bothered will also be annoying |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
