13 episode is a good length ^_^; But then it'd be kinda sad to see it end so soon. I think 24 episodes are sufficient. Episodes that have over 200+ episodes are way too long.
Is Shuichi's character in any way girly? Or is it just his looks?

Oh yes, Shuichi's extreamly girly. He crys a lot, is very hyper and bouncy, doesn't ever really seem to calm down, etc. In fact, (as seen in the pictures) he dresses up in the school girl uniform (as a joke, of course).

That's cool. There's seems to be a lot of those 'girly' guys these days... but none that actually cries a lot.. or dress up as a girl. Actually- I take that back- (Yuuki from fruits Basket dress as a girl too) I wanna read this manga ^_^

That must mean Shuichi is very femine, and much like a girl. Do you think there is actually a purpose for using a male character instead of female? Just wondering if it contributed to the storyline, or makes things just a lil more interesting =) Shuichi looks pretty young compared to his boyfriend..how old are they? A little side note (lil out of topic) There's quite a bit in Fruits Basket- like Momiji, Ayame, and monkey-san

Actually, in most malexmale (and even some femalexfemale) realtion ships there's one character that's extreamly feminine character (or masculine in the case of femalexfemale relationships).
The manga takes place over a period of two or three years, but in the current (English) issue, Shuichi is 19 and Yuki (the blond guy who's holding Shuichi while he's in the school girl uniform) is 23.

It's like in sailormoon- with the couple Haruka and Michiru (girl x girl).. Haruka is practically a guy anyway (no.. not really; she's a tomboy) But she wears the guy's school uniform But I would actually prefer Haruka being a guy (she's kinda cute).. I think this manga would be good.

I've only seen the dubbed version ( ) of the first episode. (And read the manga) Does anyone but me think that Shuiichi's voice was a little...off? I thought it would be much more girly (after reading the manga)

Well, I haven't seen the anime yet, but isn't Shuichi's voice actor the same one that was Van Flanel in the Escaflowne movie? If it is, I'd have to agree with you. I can't really imagine that particular voice actor being Shuichi's voice.

I've just finished the manga for it...well, up to what is out that is...and as much as I hate boyxboy relationships, i have to admit that it isn't all that bad...
the animation is amazing...the story itself is a bit twisted, but very funny. ^_^"
Yuki's so cold at the beginning...than he opens up....a bit at least...and that's just so cute. ^^" lol. There could be a lot of misunderstandings though...

i just finished watching gravitation and it was quite good. its just 13 episodes and 2 ovas so it was quite short. i like the anime better than the manga though theyre kinda different. i really liked the songs they sang, but to me its kinda strange how ASK is also a band but we dont get to hear any of their songs. i wanted to know what their songs sound like. the ovas were a bit strange too since Shuichi's hair colour was kinda the wrong shade of pink and Noriko's hair was brown instead of purple. i liked Ryuichi the best i think since his so cute most of the time and his cool when hes singing. i reckon Mr. K's voice sounds like someone, dont know who but i think Shigure from Fruits Baskets and Ryuichi's voice sounds like Chichiri 's from Fushigi Yuugi, he even says "na no da" sometimes. this anime seems to be full of guys, there were only about 2 girls in it, are all yaoi animes/mangas like that?

ASK was kinda the bad-guy band, so it makes sense that they wouldn't play any of their songs. -shrug-
And I agree with the hair thing...Shuichi needs his bright pink hair, and Noriko does look strange with brown hair. >_<'
Most yaoi anime/manga do tend to have a lack of girl characters. I'm guessing it's because, well, people buy the anime/manga to see guys not girls, really.

does anyone know where i can download gravitation's mp3? i want it!! anyone help plz!!!!!! exactly what songs did you want? theres a site that has some of the songs but not all, well thats where i get my songs from (you need to copy and paste the URL): www.iced-jade.net/multimedia(make_me_shining).htmfor me, the best thing happening in gravitation are the songs/concerts, well normally it is, only thing is, they sometimes keep on singing the same song and wear the same clothes for each concert they have.

I've finally got my hands on Gravitation ^^ I've watched the first three eps so far and I must say its very.... different ^^;; I donno.. its somewhat disturbing I must admit... cause Shindo's voice wasnt exactly what I had imagined.. I thought it would be more girlie.. but oh wells ^^ Shindo makes the cutest facial expressions.... XD The story itself is quite interesting... and Yuki looks really cool... actually; a lot of the characters there look really good (very nice eyes)
This is the first yaoi anime ive seen, and I guess it isn't THAT bad.. but yeh, there's kissing and stuff between the male characters.. so it could get a lil sickening for some viewers (I assume it will be for males more)
Though I think their relationship is really cute XD
