Hrm, what a coincidence! I'd never heard of this anime/manga until yesterday when an ad for it in August's NewType USA caught my eye and then this topic was updated! I... might actually buy this next time I'm in town hiding in Forbidden Planet or Page 45 as I do quite a lot... In fact I am going tomorrow with the lesser-spotted member of CF, monkey , so I'll have a look for it. In my eyes, pretty-boy manga is a good thing in all it's forms ;D Well, it looks interesting anyway... Is it funny-romance or serious-romance?? *pokes Jen* How could you??

I’m up to around, episode 7 of the anime, and I must say that this anime is pretty good..what just happened at the end of episode 6 as very…sad.. So far, I’ve only been able to watch 3 episodes in one go because sometimes it gets a bit too much for me ^^;; I think there’s a tendency so far to have them kiss at least once in an episode. I like seeing Shuichi when he’s more mature, I know, he’s cute and all but he does get annoying for me to watch sometimes. say that there is a lot of singing in it. This was a bit disturbing because most of the time they just repeated the same singing sequence from their previous performance. Doesn’t their singing improve? Since Gravitation has singing in it, I think they should make a different one each time. I realli like the drawings in this anime. Most of the characters look cool. Some remind me of Fruits Basket characters (one looks like Shigure, Tohma Seguchi looks like a grown –up Momiji/Hatsuharu which I find awesome). A lot of the characters there look alike- well, in my opinion anyway so I’m still a bit confused with some of the characters. There seem to be a lot. In this Yaoi anime, some of the guy characters actually look like girls. I’d say its more of a serious-romance (unlike Ranma x Akane in Ranma1/2). Their relationship is very…different from others that I have seen in other anime. Sometimes you wonder what Yuki is thinking from the way he treats Shuichi, telling him he isn’t interested in men then kissing him. Yuki pushing him away and then telling him that he is kind of cute. He probabl has a soft spot for him somewhere… Yuki is a serious character and all this makes me wonder, what is Yuki really hiding? Can’t wait to find out =) That do you guys think of the effect of adding in real-life stuff along with the anime?

hehe..yeh, the drawings are awesome! Yeh, some character look alike,.. sometimes I get confused between the main guy in ASK, and Yuki's brother XD Yuki's suster looks like Sayoko from AMG XD Yeh, thats what makes his character so interesting... like..what is he thinking? One moment he tells Shuichi he loves him..the next, its like.. 'i hate you'..and then the minute after they kiss again..and it goes in a few cycles XD I wonder if in all shounen-ai series, the characters face same problems~ the fact they are both guys and that it isnt exactly accepted in society. Shuichi looks funny dressing up as a girl, (but very scary when he actually had lip-stick on) It may very well be because they're lazy and couldnt be bothered to animate it.. but I think it gives it a unique touch to the series

I've got I think 2 episodes to go ((so sad to know its coming to an end soon)) and Yuki's secret is still yet to be revealed..Tohma's character is very interesting.. Another character that I'd like to bring up is Ryuichi, the way he acts is soo smiliar to Shuichi (the childish side) and it makes me wonder if Shuichi is such a big fan of him, thus imitates him with the toys etc. It's just so funny watching Ryuichi..ehehe, (the chasing part was freaky) but when he sang on stage, his voice and personality seems to change so much, o___0??? About Ryuichi: Source: lelola.net"La-Li-Ho~!"-Shuichi, Gravitation

Ryuichi is just too adorable XD Soooooo cutee!!!!! Both when he's childish and when he's performing on stage seriously ^.^ No wonder Shuichi was a big fan of him! :3 Though I was really surprised how similar they both were ^^ I never knew Ryuichi acted so childish too..hahaha... But I guess Shuichi imitated him, and it seems like this habit has stuck to him. What I like about Ryuichi's character compared to Touma's is that he's genuinely caring.. while although Touma is such a cool and handsome guy, he's really...scary in that sense.. he doesnt seem to be what he seems ^^; The part where he confesses his love for Yuki outloud to the ASK guy.. that was scary So many hidden secrets.... I cant wait to watch the last few episodes to find out what happens!

I finally finished watching this series............... it was... awesome. Man, its so breathtaking too.... I'm quite satisfied with the ending.. despite it leaving some questions and secrets ^^; The whole Ryuichi and Kumagoro business was just too cute... ^^ Ive never seen a character like his in other anime so far. .. I just love it how each episodes ends- the ending theme comes on and it suits the atmosphere SO WELL! ::Ending spoiler::I found it a little strange how the mainlead in AASK (I cant remember his name^^ suddenly turned back to normal ^^; Even though I dont really care much of his character, cause he was just a sore loser >_>[.. but it was nice to see him back with his mates. I loved how Bad Luck performed the ending theme... all the songs in this anime were really good.Nevertheless, I kept thinking Suguru Hujisaki was a girl >_> It was a little dirturbing how I had to keep reminding myself throughout the series that he's a guy XD It would have been nice to see a girl in the bad Luck band. Hujisaki doesnt seem to play a big role in the storyline, despite being in the bad Luck's group.. On another note, the part where Ryuichi walks pass Shuichi with that serious look.. was a little . Anyhows, I just found out that Ryuichi's seiyuu is Yamaguchi Kappei How come I didnt notice?? XD By the way, does anyone know any info on the OVA?

I have to see the rest of the Gravitation anime and read the last volume of the manga. I saw the OVA a few weeks ago at my friend's house. I was a lil confused since I didnt finish it. It seemed really good.

Hmm i've finished your anime ages ago.... but then.. since Jen ask me to post... XD hmm well i reckon Ryuichi is the coolest person, as some ppl said... he's so childish.. but then so cute.. i always forgot that he's a older age person XD..... so cute >< i like it when he have the two red blush on his cheeks XD.... but yeah... he's really cool and hot XD when he sang at stage.... i like the way when he whine about stuff.... but then... guess Ryu really have a big influence to shuichi, since he's the only one that can change him...
About the OVA.... i reckon.. it's kinda... werid... the drawing changed and i don't really like it... and i don't like the relationship in the OAV.... well guess u guys have to watch it to see... i can't explain XD

The characters looked different in the OVA. Shuichi's hair was darker and looked really weird. I like the artwork from the TV series.

Ryuichi and Shuichi look adorable in their costumes, especially the one with Ryuichi in the Kumogoro suit

haha..the costumes add a lot of humor to the series..and yet; when you think about a guy dressed up in a banana suit, you can't help but find it somewhat disturbing someone would do that o.o

hohohoho....XD I finally watched all of Gravitation, even though it's shonen-ai, and I don't usually go for that. I think it was mainly because of the opening and ending themes. o.O" Whoever knew Gravitation would have such awesome music in it. XD And, yeah, it totally grabbed me. ^^"
Notice how Shuichi always wears the same outfit when he sings? same as Ryuchi...no wait, do they all do that? XD
hm...what was I gonna ask..Oh, the part where Shuichi loses his voice, how exactly did he get it back?
