Do You Think That....

....Cartoon Network's [adult swim] lineup should show the anime, Gravitation? I think they should, even if it IS a shounen-ai.

I mean, come on! We've seen gayer shows, like Will & Grace and Queer Eye For the Straight Guy on television! Why not add this beautiful anime?

If that's too much then put it at the 5 or 6 AM spot in the lineup. I really want this anime to be aired. ...?

I highly doubt the censors would let something like that through.

Its only chance would be to have all the shounen-ai edited out or change the gender of one of the characters.

Given that, its probably better off not shown.

If they put it on the air, it would suffer the same fate as Sailor Moon.

You know, how they changed Zoicite to be a woman and they made Uranus and Neptune 'cousins'?

I'm pretty sure the manly men at Williams Street wouldn't want to put anything homosexual on their block anyway. =/
Well man on man anyway.

Plus if censors won't let them show Berserk in it's uneditted entirety, I would be slightly peeved to see Gravitation on there. Peeved and utterly amazed.

Well, it was just a thought. Confused

No, probably not. Not only is the series only 13 episodes, there's implied r[color=black]a[/color]pe.

>_< Okay.

Isn't there some sort of anime-only TV channel out there? I've heard of it.

Fayore · Moderator Joined: 12 Mar 2004 Posts: 6195

Yeah, there's loads out there. Try Youtube, for one. :d

You know there are kids up at 5 and 6 AM.
If they did put this on, the only viewers would be obsessed yaoi fangirls, and as those people who didn't like yaoi were annoyed, very soon as it would be put on air, it would be taken off.

I think they should show shounen-ai on tv. It's 2006, people need to grow some nutts (or cut them off, which ever works) and start excepting homosexual love.

Well. Don't watch it if you hate it. Makes sense. Rolling Eyes

And, there are more Gravitation fans out there than you think.

I strongly agree. Very Happy

Ratungs matter. Gravitation was pretty crappy from a general anime standpoint anyway. In the unlikely situation it was aired, it'd be canned before the second episode came on.

FAKE was pretty good though. Sadly it only got an OVA. :<

That's not what I heard. Confused

The art design of each of the episodes were amazing, the music was awesome, and it was romantic.

Then you heard from an extremely biased source. 8U

So, you're saying that all of the anime magazines I have and all the sites I went to are biased? Rolling Eyes

LunaticCrow · Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2007 11:28 am Post subject:

..Well, yeah. o_o

Most anime magazines are terrible sources for good opinions, as crazy as that sounds. The reason Gravitation gets remotely good ratings by a rhombus in the anime community (ie the fags who like loveless) is because of fangirls who are too scared to look at penises and/or hate series with decent story/art (ex. Antique Bakery, and more popularly FAKE).

Won't happen. Not even because of the butseckz, but because Adult Swim is divided into [b]Action[/b], and [b]Comedy[/b].

I saw one whole episode of Gravitation. It's drama more than anything. Thus not fitting under either Adult Swim area.

In one chapter of the manga, the main character got gang banged.

That counts as action
