:( I collected and read it when I was still huge into BL but I honestly think it's the series that broke my slash goggles. It's just so, so horrible. Like it's okay up until the NY arc and then it's just so fucking stupid that you simply cannot justify any part of it.
also lol I thought i was the only one who had trouble identifying characters because her art style was all over the place. ;_;
It's been a loooooong time since I last read/watched any Gravitation (and I'm sure you can see why), so it's hard for me to comment on a lot. But yeah, Shuichi is one fucked up character. I remember when he finds Yuki in America or wherever the hell he was in the last episode of the anime. That could have been such a touching scene... if he wasn't wearing a DOG COSTUME and making weird noises. Then again, maybe it wouldn't have been so touching regardless considering the characters in this series are crap.
Dear lord though, I regret ever liking this series. Fuck, even more, I regret cosplaying as both Shuichi and Yuki. They are two of my least favorite anime characters of all time. They're just... annoying. Like practically everything else in this fucking series.
Ugh that dog costume..The scene where Yuki remembers and sees the picture on the lighter was touching enough. But Shuichi can't just walk in like a normal person, see the gun and get pissed. Really, if the humor was separate from those kind of scenes and the costumes were non-existent, it wouldn't have been quite so bad.
It would have been better if someone with a brain could have done the anime seprately, very loosely based off the manga, ya know?
Oh god, please tell me you have pictures of your old cosplay. I must seeeee! XD
...I don't know if I still have the photos. xD I try to forget that I ever did them lol. I'll try and find them though 'cause I bet they're around somewhere.
This is why I stay away from yaoi manga/anime altogether and slash characters from non-yaoi things. You know, because the characters in most other anime/manga/shows/games/etc. have WAY more depth and proper characterization than in shitastic BL/yaoi things. Oye. Someone rec me some BL/yaoi that's not poorly-written bullshit with characters cardboard flat enough to make Stephenie Meyer blush and maybe I'll change my mind.
Though Gravi's music IS awesome. That's why I can't quit it completely. And Suguru is totally my favorite character. He's way too cool for Gravi, LOL.

......lol I tried but yeah nothing much coming to mind. There's Fake and boarderline BL series like Wild Adaptor, but nothing pure BL or yaoi. I have no idea why it is so difficut.
I started really feeling bad for Suguru in the manga. Everyone treats him like crap, and he has to deal with two idiots who take nothing seriously. I laughed my ass off in the second to last episode or so when he just flat out stops caring one way or another. Poor bastard.
This rant has made me so glad that I never got around to watching or reading Gravitation even when I was first getting into the yaoi genre. I mean, I'll admit that there are a few series I like despite their numerous cliches (looking at you, Junjou Romantica), but the amount of Gravitation fans I've seen after hearing so many negative things about it just baffles me.
In this series I only love one character: RYUICHI SAKUMA. Because I think he's a giant faker and not mentally handicapped ESPECIALLY when he's listening to music. I get the feeling he's bored with life in general unless related to SUPER AWESOME MUSIC. So when Shuichi disappoints he is hit with the sudden urge to FIX THE MUSICAL TRAVESTY. |D
( ... )
I think of Ryu the same way, but the anime shows none of that for some reason. :/
Taki deserved to be shoved in front of the car kinda, though I have a hard time caring what he did to Shuichi. I mean that little shit is annoying, afterall. It weirded me out that he was A-ok at the end of the anime. I guess that car wasn't enough to kill him.
I can only really say I'm a fan of one character in Gravitation and I still feel like a total shithead for it.(I'm surprised you didn't wtf me for it rofl) I mean, wut....AT LEAST I didn't like Muraki in YnM, so it's not a trend. Whew. Eiri, Ryu, Suguru, and K are okay though too.
Yeah, there seems to be a lot of crazy fans, but judging by the responses I'm pretty sure me and you are not alone. XD
Yeah I noticed. there were a few of those moments though. like the drawing scene. and the scene where he passed Shuichi's shit and Shuichi like an underconfident jerkwad lost his voice over that. LoLoLoLoL I thought that was funny actually. Shuichi was less annoying and more funny when he became a doodling mime. I think they cut out Ryuichi's lucidity because his characterization was really weird and they thought he was a retard.
Well, if it makes you feel any better... in my Gravi/GW crossover, Tohma is Quatre's cousin so they switch places at work every once in awhile. and boy does Tohma love being the head of a supremely powerful corporation like Winner, Inc. |D Quatre on the other hand loves music so I half-delusional imagined Tohma's 'softer' moments as when Quatre stood in. Unless it was Tohma in a room with Yuki. Then it's totally Tohma. |D I'm crazy. You are perfectly allowed to shoot me.

Well, I don't know much about Gundam Wing, but I think a Tohma vs. Yuki fight would be awesome, assuming Yuki is drunk enough. XD
