Honestly, I don't understand why people don't enjoy this like I do. I can't expect everyone to like everything I do, but this one seemed like it could reach out to a lot of different people. I mean, it has a whole lot of comedy, but it still has its serious moments. My friends that like anime have read the manga and watched the anime, and we all LOVED it.
Gravitation is, in my mind, one of the greatest things ever made. It's about a singer named Shuichi Shindou who is in a band called Bad Luck with his best friend who plays the guitar named Hiro. He loses the lyrics to a new song and a mysterious man picks them up, and literally tells him that he sucks and that he has no talent.
Later on, you find out that the man is Eiri Yuki, a famous novelist who is very popular with the ladies. And it just sorta takes off from there.
At times, this whole show doesn't seem very realistic, but it's an anime. Who says it has to be realistic?
Story: (9) This has some of the funniest stuff I have ever read in it. It gets really crude at times, but not as much as the manga. The story at times can get so random that it's hard to keep up, but in a good way.
Art: (7) Gravitation does not have the greatest art in it. Although at times, it somehow adds to the anime. It's not an eyesore, but it's no Code Geass or Death Note.
Sound: (10) Every song in this anime is in my top favorites. I bought the cd a while back, and I have every song memorized from beginning to end, especially Spicy Marmalade and Shining Collection.
Character: (8): I love a majority of these characters. Shuichi is so immature that it's adorable! Eiri Yuki has so many sides, and I love each and every one of them! Ryuichi Sakuma is definitly my favorite character. He makes you think of a five year old, with Kumagoro (Mr. Bear, if you're watching the dubbed). K is the most badass person ever on the face of the planet!
But some characters, I just want to stab in the neck with a knife, like, at first you might think you love Tohma, but then he's just a sick bastard that needs to die. Ayaka is just a bitch. That's all there is to it. (I was gonna say more, but this is really long!)
Enjoyment: (10) I easily give this a ten. I have watched the anime five times in a row now, and I still cry from laughing so hard at most points. It's just so random and innocent, yet sad and emotional all at the same time. You will sit there with tears of sadness running down your face, and all of a sudden you fall over laughing.
Overall: (9) This has to be my favorite anime of all time (besides Death Note). It is just that amazing. If you don't like yaoi, then stay away. Especially from the manga. That is a lot more sexual than the anime. I highly recommend this, because it is just an anime that about everyone can get a good laugh from. ^.^
Thanks for reading! =3
