I haven't watched enough to make a general statement on them.
Those that I did watch were kind of nice, kind of gay.

They always manage to pick the shittiest BL manga to adapt. The only exception to this so far is Doukyuusei.

Pretty gay

i watched yuri on dick

Love Stage was good.

We need some groundbreaking yaoi anime to shake things up and move forward the genre.

The only way you'll achieve something like that is stick a canon gay couple in a non-BL anime that's got mainstream appeal. Yoi probably could've been this, but they were too vague with the relationship.

>they were too vague with the relationship
Only if you're blind.
The director Yamamoto had to fight to obtain permission to include the (obscured) kiss scene, so it's not so simple to change the mindset of anime industry an mix genres.

So how did no.6 get away with all those on screen kisses?

There nothing wrong with it really. I've watched several works were pretty good like Fuyu no semi. It's nasty fujoshi that are the problem.

Most of them sucks, and the super popular ones like your pic are a cancer to the industry.
There's Hitorijime airing this season and while it's nothing groundbreaking, it's not bad, sadly they're mixing it with the shitty pequel and some anime original shit though.

No.6 is adapted from a novel series, it's not an original content like YOI. They knew what they were up to when the project was greenlighted.

Is Nakamura's stuff still popular in Japan?

For BL, it's always the most popular.

What's the appeal? I'd get it if it had great art, but it doesn't.

i'm not homophobic, BUT ...
who the fuck thought gays in anime were a good idea
and especially doujins
desu~

I've only watched Gravitation ten years ago.

I don't know, I started reading it when I was a teen and even 10 years ago I couldn't see the appeal, especially with the main pairing of the series.

Pic related is my favorite BL manga. Action, comedy and gay romance. The yaoi is not the main theme; you aren't forced to see the guys fuck once every 2 chapters (actually, they go all the way only at the end). There's also an OVA based on vol. 2 of the manga which I found very enjoyable, I highly recommend it (the opening theme is very catchy too).

Fuck I don't know. God knows why people stick with it, probably for the same reason people still read shit like Naruto.

Barely watch any. I'd be happy to watch more if only they'd adapt works from the authors who have actual writing ability rather than the BL trope machines that are usually done.

...

At least naruto had decent artwork and story (at the beginning at least). Junjou was just relationship drama and badly drawn sex.

I don't like it because I don't like the thought or sight of dudes being with each other romantically. Girls are fine though.

This.

Don't worry you'll get your 10 Count anime soon. :^)

Then don't watch it?

Don't use emoticons on Sup Forums.

At least in 10 Count the author is in fact aware of questionable psychiatric stuff that is being presented. It's handled slightly better than it could be.

I miss when Takarai used to do vanilla-tier stories.

A lot of them have really ugly character design.

Saiyaku wa Boku o Suki Sugiru's cute, why can't something like that get adapted?

It's a meme you goddman retard.

It's shitposting.

Can we get Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai instead?

95% garbage like every other genre.

Just read BL instead where it's only 80% garbage.

This. I'd even take the other one Op: Yoake Itaru no Iro no Nai Hibi even though it's probably not even BL.

Takarai was the artist I looked up to the most around 10 years ago which was when she was doing Prince of Tennis doujins.

Too bad Ten Count is awful, I couldn't get past the first few chapters. Her art during her doujinshi days was better too.

She almost fucked this up too. Should go back to illustrating only and never write her own stories ever again.

I fully believe it was her editor's fault for 10 Count.

BIG CREEPY HANDS
BIG CREEPY LIPS

How so? I think HanaNomi was wrapped quite well.

Fuck that plot though, it's cockblocking everything. Tired of that shit.

How come?

I remember it added some unnecessary drama with the 3rd guy right before the end. I was scared she was going to ruin everything for a second.

Most other BL feel like the "plot"'s just an excuse to see them fucking every other chapter.

I remember the author notes from back when she was drawing Hana no Mizo Shiro that she barely could draw sex scenes, it still made her uncomfortable. The complete tone shift after one book was obvious enough too. If it was just a story about a guy with his mysophobia then I'd take forever for the main characters to have sex and that's what the readers want to see.

It's a shame, I'd probably be more interested in ten count if it did actually treat the issue more seriously.

The 3rd guy was there from the beginning though, he was the "antagonist". It was not even a love triangle, just one of the main characters learning how to leave his abusive "ex"

That makes some sense to me seeing as how out of all of the doujinshi I have of hers only one has an actual sex scene.

Don't say this it just makes me upset.

The only one that was worth watching.

Not that I mind. I read BL for the romance, not the plot. And it took forever for those two faggots just to kiss. Don't need this much plot.

And this is why we'll never get decent long running BL manga.

>Hitorijime My Boyfriend getting focus
this is why we can't have nice things

>Pandering to mentally ill degenerates

Japan is already declining in birthrate, what are they hoping to accomplish?

The shittiest ones get a tv series, while the decent ones get half-assed OVAs. All these BL manga out here that focus on more than just two dudes raping and fucking each other don't get any recognition, but shit like No Money gets two fucking seasons. Everything about BL anime makes me salty as fuck. Especially the fact that Vassalord still hasn't gotten a second goddamn OVA, fuck you fujo and your shit taste

They are shit. Need more homos in non-yaoi shows.

Who the fuck cares about real homos? BL isn't even made for them.

Why do they even need to be adapted? The original manga is good enough

It's the only anime really meant for fags.

>no.6
those were good times

for women by women

no point watching if you're a homo

>tfw Banana Fish anime fucking never
I'm forever butt blasted about the ending but damn did I love the wikd ride

The fact that there are still people trying to no-homo this amazes me.

Shimanami Tasogare is great. It's a shame that the magazine it runs in is ending next month.

>That sex scene back in the day

Where the fuck is my Doukyuusei sequel

Are you surprised? I've seen people try to no homo Banana Fish to, now that we are talking about it.

Wait what? Sauce?

Top notch. the show was also good

Too bad the series won't die with the magazine, they'll just relocate it somewhere else.

Garbage that doesn't belong in anime

I used to like yaoi when it was new, but I grew somewhat tired of
>non-reversible couples (haru wo daite ita is an exception)
>unrealistic anal sex
>sexuality never being bought up in a realistic way
>no female characters, weird male only world

I really liked Hybrid Child

Ah I remember thinking what a masterpiece this was.
and masturbating myself raw to it
I still think it's great, I wonder if the novel is worth reading

Unrealistic sex is just a porn thing in general.

Will all the series scatter to other Shogakukan magazines?

It is but, just casualy showing a cock up in an ass and self lubricating anusses are too much.

I wish guys would frot more or do more handjobs and anal was a bigger deal.

There is a secret rule that says no matter the time it is released yaoi anime must have terrible animation compared to everything else out.

Here's the best yaoi ever made. Ryokunohara Labyrinth

That's not correct.

I want to see a prison scool quality anime made of Priapus

Nothing's been mentioned yet afaik. The last issue should cover it.

I used to like this kind of trash when I was a kid but now it makes me wish there were bara anime instead

My brothers husband won awards, so it could get adapted one day.

Why are the it's time threads always so shit?

>it's time threads
Why can't newshits lurk?

>2015+2
>still using the term yaoi

There are people still unironically using shounen ai.

what are the terms even?
I went to lurk on futaba channel and they refer to real life gay porn as BARA, and the YAOI board is full with pederast shota stuff

Fujos hate reversible couples. Didn't Caste Heaven mangaka get a lot of hate mail because the mc (uke) topped megane?

Iirc wasn't yaoi used more to refer to self-published works while BL was what official publishers used? Yaoi seems like a pretty dated term though.

The last Yaoi thing I watched was Love Stage, The gay shit didn't even bother me it was just so boring how they set the story up that it was so bland.

I wouldn't say they hate them, just look at Yuri on Ice.

But some retards do ship them only one way.

Never understood why people care so much about who tops. Is it because of fans projecting too much onto certain characters?

It's not some, it's most. Don't be retarded.

Anime is pretty unrealistic not just for yaoi anyway and yaoi is a fantasy world for fujos.

It's usually written by women, and most of the time the boys aren't as cute as the boys in non-yaoi anime.

Literally the gayest genre
