My First Gaynimation

Someone in the office lent me all 13 episodes of this anime called Gravitation. It’s the very first gay anime I’ve ever seen. It’s about Shuichi, the boyish lead singer of the band Bad Luck, and his love affair with Yuki, a handsome and famous writer with a major attitude problem. I’m already at episode 6 and will continue with the rest tomorrow.

Gravitation is a soap opera, drawn. No anime nudity, just a lot of man-to-man kissing, and breaking up and making up and all that. Because it’s a VCD copy, I cannot scan ahead so I’ve heard the theme song again and again and again ad nauseam. Still I will see this whole series through. There’s something about seeing my very first gay anime.
