Is Gravitation one of my favourite animes of all time? Yes
Is it good? No.
Honestly if you're looking for some good ol' shonen-ai, look no further. The relationship between Yuki and Shuichi is pretty cookie cutter stuff- but the fact that this was written in the nineties makes it a bit more special. It actually does tackle some tough subjects like homophobia and sexual harassment but not well enough for it to be actually commendable. At least it isn't glorifying rape (*cough cough* koisuru boukun) And I have to admit... They're pretty cute.
Like sure, Shuichi Shindou is really, REALLY annoying but he's also like, my dumbass son that I have to watch mess up ALL THE TIME.
Yuki Eiri is the usual emotionally stunted seme that smokes cigarettes yada yada yada
This series shines through on it's darker parts and it had me at the edge of my seat at times. Yuki's character development was really interesting and seeing him being vulnerable in front of Shuichi made me go AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Likes; It's very enjoyable, the nineties nostalgia is kind of nice, the opening is pretty catchy, I liked the whole fame edge it had to it
Dislikes; I can't blame the bad animation on time, it's not great even for 2000- I also think that some of the serious moments were ruined by dumb stuff that was supposed to lighten the mood JUST GIVE ME GAY ANGST DAMMIT

Anyway watch Gravitation- it isn't good but hoo boy is it fun to watch
