1 Name: Nox Puss : 2007-02-18 16:11 ID:42jurexn

I'm running out of shounen-ai to watch...stuff I've already seen and liked: Sukisho/Sukisyo, Gravitation, Loveless, Gakuen Heaven...also, if there are any good anime with crossdressing men in, I wanna know :p Ta in advance!

dragon ball z

3 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-02-19 00:22 ID:Heaven

Happiness has Jun, who is a crossdresser.

It's not Shounen-Ai though :/

4 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-02-19 04:52 ID:8EnF3Y/C

Princess Princess is the obvious suggestion.

5 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-02-21 16:15 ID:0Cykg50U

I'd definatly choose bible black, its a very good yaoi anime

6 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-02-22 19:50 ID:0Cykg50U

A really good shounen ai is G-Taste, the G stands for Gei, which is the katakana for gay.

7 Name: Mr Helpful : 2007-02-22 19:52 ID:+Yf7WIMq

Oooh yeah, Random Anime Otaku is right, G-Taste is very good, i thoughroughly advise you buy it and watch it, its very good ;)

Kizuna and kiss of fire.. maybe not so shounen-ai... more Yaoi

10 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-03-27 16:27 ID:lchIRuEu

Kaze to Ki no Uta, everyone who says otherwise if wrong. >:(

11 Name: sasahara kanji : 2007-03-28 14:08 ID:QDhXrYEi

should i even point out the irony in that sentence?

16 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-03 02:14 ID:Heaven

There is no irony in that sentence. Irony means something else.

17 Name: Tri-edge : 2007-09-10 18:23 ID:ADg6fI5Y

Shounen Onmyoji...well i like it...

18 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-09-22 19:56 ID:aC4McxQm

Let me give you one of the best Shonen-ai anime's I've seen in a awhile; though, I'll admit now the manga is much better.

Yami no Matsuei [Descendents of Darkness]

The character imagery is beautiful. Adults look like adults and kids look like kids. The villian is so unexpected, sadistic and wonderful. The main characters are so beautifully canon, even though they never come out to express love, we all know they do. The music is haunting and fits perfectly.

One the downside. The Manga is on a hiatus for a million years and there's some plot holes in the a anime because it's only 13 episodes long. Think of the Loveless anime, all the plot they didn't explain before it ended, that's kinda like Yami no Matsuei.

All and all it's great. I love whoring this show out. :]

19 Name: Cross : 2007-12-31 23:09 ID:d/+tjlnd

Yes, Princess Princess has cross-dressing men!
It's hilarious and addicting.
There's no shonen-ai, but it's sort of implied between two characters, and they do kiss at one point.

20 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-01-03 05:45 ID:CarLNy3N

> There's no shonen-ai,

Well then, count me out

21 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-02-04 16:36 ID:j4KuTdpB

ohh Nymphs of Stratosphere mmmmmmmmmmmmm

22 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-02-09 15:56 ID:Heaven

They all reek of overused cliches. Either that or I read too many BL mangas :(

23 Name: Jo_Grim : 2008-04-03 01:59 ID:eEKEhVsB

Kyou Kara Maou is really good! Its about a boy named Yuuri who is transported to a different world Kagome-style (except instead of falling through a well, he gets flushed down a toilet). I've only watched about two episodes but Yuuri discovers that he's actually the Maou (demon king) of this world. He also accidentally gets engaged to Wolfram, a blond bishonen <3

24 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-04-08 07:28 ID:UZZMnzM1

Ouran High School Host Club!! ^_^

25 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-04-09 19:09 ID:CKWst1sf

Earthian OVA was ok
not as good as the manga but then again
no anime is

26 Name: Sen : 2008-04-15 12:07 ID:XTRc/n//

Gravitation, Loveless, Princess princess!!
Oh, and Kyou kara maoh is also good, though to be honest the shounen ai doesn't often come up. At all.

Ouran high school is not a shounen ai!! Hikaru and Kaoru are not actually gay.

27 Name: OPFan : 2008-04-15 19:21 ID:HFEm5oqx

Some shounen-ai manga can only be found in videos when people buy them and upload them themselves...those are really cute and I think more on the mature side...er...lol...

28 Name: Sen : 2008-04-25 22:13 ID:uuUjtJ9d

>>11
haha.. Yaoi is gay.. What an ironic insult!!

I thought I'd add Gakuen heaven to this list. Each episode starts off by implying that characters are doing things to each other. It's hilarious. 13 episodes long..
And I also just noticed, having looked up the wiki because it's ages since I've seen it, that the school is called BL Academy.
Which I found funny, because BL could stand for Boy's love..

29 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-04-28 14:24 ID:K3YHVJQk

>>27

Maybe you should buy them!

30 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-06 10:13 ID:UZZMnzM1

AnimeInsider magazine quoted that Ouran was Shounen-Ai <,<

31 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-06 10:17 ID:7VGfDyFM

You should know better than to trust some magazine as your source.

32 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-06 13:25 ID:Heaven

>>28 I don't think that's ironic. It's quite appropriate if you ask me.

33 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-06 20:47 ID:z8UFsB3t

I always loved FAKE and Okane ga Nai.

34 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-06 20:50 ID:z8UFsB3t

There's also the Pico series, if you're into shouta. I also rather liked Haru wo Daiteita and Papa to Kiss in the Dark. Ai no Kusabi is also a classic.

35 Name: Sen : 2008-05-10 20:30 ID:uuUjtJ9d

>>30
Oh dear. Did they just look at the first few chapters, with Hikaru and Kaoru?
It'd be interesting if Kyoya or Mori turned out to be gay, though. Talk about destroying stereotypes.

>>32
I think it is. If the person was seriously insulting Yaoi by calling it gay, then it is an ironic insult.. Oh well. Nvm.

>>33
Yeah, Okane ga nai is good.
Though it could be argued that it is more Yaoi than Shounen ai, in terms of graphic-ness/serious/mature content...

I also just realised you'd already watched Gakuen heaven. So it was stupid to suggest it.

36 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-11 00:56 ID:7VGfDyFM

Loveless is the only one of its kind that stays interesting enough

37 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-11 12:12 ID:Heaven

>>35
What makes something yaoi isn't technically the graphicness of the thing but rather, how it completely lacks any plot or purpose whatsoever.

38 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-12 15:58 ID:7VGfDyFM

>>37

This anon speaks the truth knowing what Yaoi was supposed to stand

39 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-15 13:03 ID:wKcfnCSC

How can you offer Okane ga nai? it's practically porn and has no plot

40 Name: rue : 2008-05-15 17:16 ID:wKcfnCSC

42 Name: Sen : 2008-05-18 23:42 ID:uuUjtJ9d

>>37
Oh, right. That makes a lot of sense. I was told that yaoi meant it was a more graphic in comparison shounen ai. Thanks for clearing that up.

And okane ga nai is still yaoi, by that definition. Because it really doesn't have much of a plot. I'd say there is a vague one there, but not much.

43 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-19 12:50 ID:Heaven

Yeah it certainly is, for the real reasons.

44 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-23 14:51 ID:ufR7Twfh

you talking shonen ai or yaoi cuz theres a few that are a lil hard core^_^ try enzai or sensitive pornograph

45 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-05-27 02:00 ID:3KfQonIk

Girls and Faggots. Wait till you see Cutie honey, you may change your minds.

46 Name: EunYo : 2008-06-22 05:17 ID:RK3MyEmp

try Junjou ROmantica!!! I love this one!

47 Name: nukusei : 2008-06-29 12:54 ID:M4WZDVIl

Love is a Hurricane is a good funny yaoi. Butif you want shounen ai which has more story, try Pet on Duty. Both of them are cute but the yaoi is very graphic, while Pet on Duty has one two page scene.
Also I've tried Cutie Honey, I'm still into boys.

48 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2008-06-29 14:18 ID:o74yl03G

Enzai manages to be quite interesting once you get past the scenes
