Wow, I just finished watching Ai no Kusabi and Kizuna. I have to say Ai no Kusabi is a lot better than Kizuna. The story had me totally engrossed. I discovered a great yaoi site that distributes yaoi anime and mangas - aarinfantasy.com - their forum has everything. They even have direct downloads of animes which is rare. I also saw the first episode of Sensitive Pornography and it was pretty good. They have a pretty big selection so I can't decide what to watch next. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to know.
Ai no Kusabi is about a world in the future that a computer named Jupiter controls. Jupiter's warped logic dictates people with blond hair being at the pinnacle of this society with darker shades being lower until we get to the bottom of the rung - people with black hair. If you're dark-headed, most likely you will live outside of society, in the slums, where you'll probably live and die. If you're a "Blondie" you will live in the lap of luxury and own people as pets. Yes, pets (nice, ne?). Anyway, this Blondie falls in love with a "darkie" and takes him as a pet. It's sad and sweet so if anyone gets a chance to see it, do.
Kizuna is okay. The manga was pretty popular but I haven't read it so I didn't know much about it before I saw the anime. The art work wasn't as appealing as some I've seen. Sensitive Pornography's artwork was much better. The sex scenes in SP was pretty graphic so be warned.
As for yaoi mangas, I found this uber kawaii manga "Kohitsuji Hokaku Keikaku" (why do mangas always have such long and complicated names) about two high school seniors in love with two cute freshmans in an all-boy broading school. These two senior voyuers have been watching the two freshmen have sex through binoculars since their junior high school days, drooling and waiting for them to enter high school. The junior and high school dorms are separated. Anyway, only the first two chapters are scanlated by storminheaven but it's too cute for words.
