    Good anime story with GREAT ILLUSTRATION

    WOW! Excellent drawing from this anime which make me like this anime. The story is good, about someone who not give up so easily to be with someone he loved. Many people had bad past, but this anime touch us to forget about the past and learn to enjoyed the time which we had. And sometimes the story can made me laugh, that's very funny when Shuici did something unusual.

    I think this anime is not story about "Gay", but very coincidence that the one who he love is a man.

    And the songs from this anime for tv series and ova is great. I really like the song, especially from the ova version (song : IN THE MOONLIGHT). This song is really saying about Shuici-kun and Yuki in ova, the lyric is honestly GOOD.

    the best!

    This is my all time favorite anime/manga of all time. Not only is it hilarious and cute and bubbly but it has a very beautiful love story and a very strong message about love. It really shows the point that love is love and cant be denied no matter the gender.

    And the characters, oh my what would gravitation be with out its wonderful characters. The star, Shuichi Shindou, is a young aspiring musician with a killer voice. He has a super hyper personality you cant help but fall in love with. He is very passionate and would do anything for those he loves. And then there's Eiri Yuki, a beyond beautiful writer with a cold and harsh personality. He is very smart and witty and a very interesting and great character. Shuichi's best friend Hiro is the genius guitarist for their band bad luck. Hiro is a very sweet character and a great friend to Shuichi. Then there's the o so lovable Ryuichi. He is probably the craziest character in this series. he is a lot like Shuichi(crazy and hyper)but actually even more crazy and hyper. He acts like a child a lot but when he sings(hes the lead singer of the band nittle grasper)he gets super serious and crazy cool. He also happens to be Shuichis idol. Another grand character is Bad Lucks manager K. Hes a trigger happy American that will stop at nothing to help Shuichi and bad luck.

    Gravitation is a story about two unlike people falling in love even though there are many obstacles in their way. This series i feel could never be hated by anyone and everyone who watches it is sure to fall in love.

    Love It

    I absolutely love Gravitation. It's honestly sweet and human and in most ways, very believable. One of the only Anime with 100% authentic feeling. The music is a big plus as well, as is the writing. Givent I've never seen the English Dubbed version of this anime, but if it's half as good as the Original Japanese then I'm sure it's wonderful. Being that this is my favorite yaoi, I've only got good things to say about it, and though others are entitled to their opinion, to those who insult it for being either "stupid", "immoral" or "unnatural" can I just ask you to open your minds and watch it? You may really love it. Also, most fan's who watch it are in love with yuki and his bad boy ways, this is not me, personally I prefer Ruichi in all of his childish glory.

    great fun

    This anime is one of the few, GOOD shonen-ai series. It is a story about love (not sex): the 'gravitation' of two people and how their relationship affects everyone around them. The plot is based heavily on the personalities of its diverse, interesting and overall likable cast of characters. Once you get over the notion that just about every one of these characters seems either gay or bi, it's really great fun. The soundtrack is really good, too, if you like Japanese techno.

    Gravi is so cool!

    Gravitation is just absolutely awesome. It's one of the best animes I've ever seen. The characters are original, and the story is so good!! The shounen-ai is an extra thing in it in my opinion. There are lots of really good jokes in it (eg. Ryuichi is playing with Japanese words) and basically it is also a love story, a really good one. If you don't mind the shounen-ai (male/male love) you must see it. It's an No. 1 anime!! ^_^ My favorite character is Yuki Eiri, well... I guess most of the girls think like that. He's the absolutely cool character. Shu-chan is really cute and funny. And Ryuichi Sakuma is also funny, but sometimes he can be really serious, and than he's awesome. And the music is also really good. The singing voice of Shuichi is Kotani Kinya, and he's voice is really godlike. I just love it. The lyrics are also really sweet, a nearly cried when i first read the In The Moonlight and the Shining Collection. But Nittle Grasper's songs are also good. There's one thing I can say: "Utsuru toki o osorenaide" - (Don't fear the time of change) /Ryuichi in the song Sleepless Beauty/

    • Trivia
      When K drives Shuichi back from the airport, you can see a doll hanging from his rear view mirror. The doll closely resembles the character Judy Winchester, K's wife who's introduced later on in the manga.
    • Goofs
      In many episodes regarding Shuichi and his band Bad Luck playing the song 'Rage Beat' in a concert setting, the scenes and shots are reused over and over again with the same background, clothes, etc. regardless whereever they are in the episode.
    • Quotes

      Shuichi Shindo: But we're both guys.

      Hiroshi Nakano: You moron! If you love someone, then what difference does it make if they're a guy or a girl? Just be happy.
