I just have to say that i love to read about yaoi. I'm almost obsessed and the longest I've gone without is about a week and even then I cheated a little taking little sneak peaks. :D

I actually understand about what you are saying a lot of things out there now days about not taking much to please us BL fans not just in anime or manga it's like that with lots of fanfics out there. I know that I've actaully had to stop reading fics when I realized there was really no plot involved. I mean I love a good random moment now and then but at the same time I want a little story to go with it also.

As far as Yuri goes I read it but I find myself not caring as much about it. I read and watch it but sometimes it's just not my thing.[/COLOR][/FONT]

then the fanfiction you read must not be very complex, if you like gundam wing then read a little fanfiction called never 'broken only bruise' it is really really interesting, all the guys are in it and there are the usually pairing :catgirl: . Oh and i also have three fanfiction up for reading but the otaku won't let me posted them because there too bad, but Question and answer is the most complex thing i have ever wrote, it has some many places where, you know, you could juct take it to somewhere else.

As for what daggers is saying about sukisko, i am half and half on what she is saying. Yes if you don't like school based boy drama with a bit of a strange twist towards the end then don't bloodly watch it then!, but if you are like me and love a good boy based drama with cute characters, a comedy similar to gravatition but just not as much and a plot that is so non-expected that you quite surprised and a little disapointed in then Sukisko is your thing.

I have watched both the series and the 13 ova and to me the series was way better, and i never did understand how the green haired guy got out of that building :animestun.

I think there is nothing like sukisko out there, i mean do you just want a mindless plot where you just know what's going to happen or a boring plot, that is so played out that again you know what's going to happen.

So what do people think is the greatest yaoi anime ever then, :rolleyes: beside gravatition because frankly everyone just being a sheep like for my liking about gravatition, yes it has good character, yes the storyline is different, yes it is funny and yes i am sick of it.

I hate really typical ukes and semes

Well, I guess I'd have to go with [b]Loveless[/b]. It's one of the very few BL anime that I would point to as being a high-quality piece of work, period--not just "good for a BL series."

Artistically, it's so much more ambitious than comparable anime that there's almost no comparison. The writing is solid and at times quite excellent. I love how it twists around BL cliches. Prime example: in the first episode Soubi repeatedly tells Ritsuka that he loves him, with pretty much no rhyme or reason to it. Commence the eye-rolling. But in the second episode, it's revealed that [spoiler]Soubi (who used to be the Fighter assigned to Ritsuka's older brother) was actually [i]ordered[/i] by Ritsuka's brother to declare his love.[/spoiler] And Ritsuka, who by all appearances would seem to be a typical uke, is the powerful one in the relationship.

The music is rich and atmospheric, and the artwork stays consistent throughout. The spell battles are quite innovative and impressive, too. If Loveless ever gets a second season, I'm almost certain the series as a whole would end up being one of my top favorites for anime in general (i.e., not just BL).

I can't find fault with [b]Ai no Kusabi[/b], but it'll be a long time before I can bring myself to see it again. It's practically the Texhnolyze of BL anime--excellent on every level, but so grim and depressing that it can be quite difficult to watch. There's a kind of gritty beauty in it, though, and the animation is top-notch.

Those are the two BL anime that stand out for me most. I like Gravitation, Yami no Matsuei (whatever, I'm callin' it BL, haha) and Mirage of Blaze as well, but they don't hold up against my general anime favorites. I also have a soft spot for Zetsuai & Bronze & Cathexis, but I think that's probably just me, haha.

I thought that Ai no Kusabi was good, but i was really disapointed in the ending, i really wanted the two friends to get together and the ending it's self left me wanting more, butit was good.

Another good yaoi anime is 'Boku no sexual harassment' which i have just watched, all three were pretty good but again i was disapointed with the ending. Also the plot was a bit regular, i mean the only plots you noraml get in a yaoi manga are in school(normally all boys ones), work, sport, demons, shingiamis,prostutes, murder or crime. They are mostly the genre what a yaoi manga goes into, or they do something completely werid and totally go off the plot oh, and sometimes they in bars as well.

The next anime i would like to see is loveless or saiyuki, actally it would most properly be saiyuki.

As of today, ANN says that [b]Loveless[/b] is licensed. I haven't been this happy in... oh, screw that. This ******* rocks.

Media Blasters, who also own the rights to Sukisho, will give us volume 1 on February 14th (appropriately enough). Apparently it'll be a 3-disc release, complete with extras ("Ohayou, Loveless-kun," anyone?). Time to break out the good ol' cat-person smilie. :catgirl:

[CENTER][COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Hi there again everyone!
I've already posted once in this
thread but I just wanted to ask
a question that has been bothering
me if you don't mind me asking....
How exactly do you [B]pronounce yaoi[/B]?

I have heard many different proununciations.
And I just would like to know which one is
right if any. Thanx[/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]

How exactly do you [B]pronounce yaoi[/B]?[/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
This is one of those wonderful, time-honored questions for which you'll probably get about a billion different answers supported by such evidence as, "I have a friend of a friend of a cousin who's Japanese, and s/he says it's definitely supposed to be 'yah-oy,'" etc. Yet another reason to just say boys' love instead.

Speaking for myself, I've been pretty well persuaded that it's supposed to be pronounced more like yah-oy than yaoi (the latter would rhyme with aoi; that is, ah-oh-ee). But for whatever it's worth, Wikipedia disagrees.

i've finally gotten my hands on sukisho and i'm all for it! it totally rocks my socks. a lighthearted series with a touch of sexual content. :p it's mega kawaii!

[Imo-sune]

aww so sad :animecry: reminds me of myself, i defeinty do not have any anime stores near me, the only place where i can get yaoi is on the internet and my fav scanlation groups :catgirl:. The only really bad thing i guess i could get is FAKE or gravatition, so i'm all lone as well :animecry: .

The only way i could get my hands on some real life yaoi is to import or get it off ebay. :animenose

[Paine Leonhart]

I first got into yaoi with Yu Yu Hakusho. I was an innocent girl just browsing a Yu Yu Hakusho site when I came upon some odd pics of Hiei and Kurama. I thought: "That's....interesting." And thus, a yaoi fangirl was born.

My fav. yaoi manga is FAKE. (Also happens to be my fav. yaoi anime)

I'm trying to put together some yaoi fanfics, but I get so scattered with them, it's hard to keep up. I mostly enjoy reading yaoi fics of: Final Fantasy, Yu Yu Hakusho, Saint Seiya, Yu-Gi-Oh (go figure, huh?), and some others that I can't think of at the moment. *le sigh*

that pretty much how i got into yaoi, but it was gundam wing instead. I love writing fanfic and cos my english os so bad, my friend prof reads them first and tells me where i need to fix them. At the moment i working ona Naruto and Sakuke one, which to me is really wrong becuase i don't like Naruto, yet i feel myself getting into the yaoi side of it. And i am also writting a crossover fanfiction, which is like 169 pages long, but this is the seque :catgirl: and it about 87 pages long, so far anyway but i think it could be longer then the first.

[Glittery_Itachi]

I luv Yaoi. It is nice to see a change from the Yuri. Don't get me wrong I like Yuri as well, but I honestly think there is not enough Yaoi.

[Paine Leonhart]

I would love to read some yaoi fanfics if any of you have written any. :catgirl: (Just PM me with the link.) If any of you have written yaoi fluff fics.... you would really make my day. ;3 (love the fluff!!!)

I just sent you a pm of all my fanfiction that i have pubished. I got three up because the other are either written by hand or not complete. At the moment i just wrote a Naruto fanfiction by hand only though, so if won't be put up yet. I did post my fanfiction on the otakuboards, but they seemed to be too much for them to handle and they were taken off. :animecry:

[serenayasha]

i dont know why but its ok i dont like it but i dont mind it like some freak that hate gay poeple.

[punk alchemist]

i'd also be interested in any yaoi doujin or fanfic that anyones made, so send it to me if ya can!

[duoikari]

just type in adult faniction.org and you get lots,

But at the moment, saddly enough i am writing Naruto and i have found myself being drawn into the series, but i'm not really interested in the actually series but just the yaoi side of it, i seem to have fallen in love with Naruto at the moment he's just so lovable and just so remind me of duo maxwell from Gundam wing. ¬_¬ Sasuke is kinda cruddy i think anyway and he is always the uke which is so not right

[Dragonsamurai24]

I like shonen-ai and yaoi. I like it to a point. When they start getting naked and..."interact" with each other, then NUH UH! Just kisses, hugs, and positions is fine with me. I really don't have many yaoi couples that I like. But one is Daisuke/Satoshi from DNAngel. Very cute. ^^x Especially with this one fanfic I read. :animeshy: :catgirl: I also like Sanzo/Goku, a little bit of Kenshin/Sanosuke, and I'm just getting interested in Ryuhou/Kazuma. But, all-and-all, I'm a yaoi lover. :animeshy: :catgirl: ^_^x

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]I really don't like yaio stuff most of it is just disgusting and it seems that most doujinshis I've found are yaio or hentai. I noticed that they really often do have enemies suddenly becoming lovers and it just doesn't make sense (for example a lot of Escaflowne yaio doujinshis have Dilandau and Van together and it doesn't make sense because they hate eachother!) Also it's true that they often make one character more girl-like (another Escaflowne example would be this one with Dilandau and Folken, Folken is somewhat his usual self and Dilandau is practically a girl!) Yes I realize that all my example were Escaflowne but it just happens that I've been searching on doujinshis with Dilandau and Merle in them. Ok thanks to anyone who read this all the way through I just wanted to get my oppinion out there! :animesigh :catgirl: [/COLOR] [/FONT]

can i just say that you wtach the whole series of escaflowne, if you did then you would of found out the rea truth behind dilandau :animeswea . But i can understand you pain.

You find alot of ones shots are as we 'senseless porn' hence sensesive porngrahy!!, which i got to add is like one of the best yaoi's out there *wipes away tear* but alot of actually YAOI MANGAS aren't like that. I have always thought of doujinshis as, what the artisted wanted to happen, not want other storylines you can take the characters.

For example, i can't stand yaoi naruto doujinshis, i don't mind shouen ai but i just can't stand a sex scene in a Naruto doujinshis, it mad. I just don't really like seeing Naruot getting pushed down like a girl, i mean he is the main character, MAIN CHARACTERS ARE NOT UKES, hence dragonball z, Goku was always the seme and yet goku is so ukish, but at least there are some doujinshi where Naruot is a seme.

But if you were to read something like ....Boys next doy? or maybe pretty scoop you might get real meaning of a truely good yaoi :animesigh

[Dagger]

[quote name='duoikari']MAIN CHARACTERS ARE NOT UKES...[/quote]
Well, why not? I guess you're talking about main characters of regular anime/manga, as opposed to main characters of BL anime/manga (who are ukes, more often than not)...

~Dagger~

[duoikari]

yes, i don't think that main characters in normal anime should be tranformed into ukes by the artist. Naruto is just one example, I mean why is sasuke normally the seme, i think he should be a uke when paired with Naruto. IT's also the same for gundam wing, (althought it hardly ever happens), Heero is sometimes the uke, in a 1x2 doujinshi or trowa is sometimes the uke in a 3x4 doujinshi. I said if they have uke elements and they would not make a strong seme then make them the uke, but if they are quiet and straight to the point but would look good as a seme then make them a seme.

i like yaoi too, even though i'm straight...XD
may i suggest "Only the Ring Finger Knows" (one volume only - short story) and "Ghost/Eerie Queerie".
Do you have any suggestions to any yaoi?
Besides, what's the difference between shonen-ai and yaoi? I know the Ring Finger volume is yaoi, but i think that ghost is shonen-ai (so I heard). Do you know the difference? :)
