Great, gay vampires! Because yaoi/yuri/shounen-ai/shoujo-ai are things that isn't for me (at all really), I will not watch this.

Boys-love (Japanese is shounen-ai) or yaoi is just another way of describing the love between two boys. Because I have a twisted conservative mind, I don't follow these stories.

You make it sound like it's some brand new idea they just thought up. It's called Anne Rice and Lestat, I believe.

Looking at the guys, you wouldn't know they were vampires. They all look like regular guys to me. How creative is that? Rolling Eyes

This is real creative actually. Sarcastically speaking, it's just as interesting as the gay vampire thing.

Well, that just about sums it up. If it was one straight vampire and 3 straight chicks, I would so be there.

AoiHana, Saki, Kanamemo, HanasakeruSeishonen, Yokuwakaru Gendai Maho and, now..... RH Plus....... ????

I'm starting to wonder if Crunchyroll needs someone to inform them that they're about 25 years too late to make a point to support the advancement of gay/lesbian culture acceptance.

Seriously, I'm pretty sure an overwhelming majority of CR's audience is fine/tolerant with the homosexual media, but would greatly prefer straight plots, that don't center around gay and lesbian love, every so often..... >.>

Only, three of the Seven new "2009" anime, that have been added since spring, centered around non-gay-love plots. Furthermore, one of those three series was complete urination-fetish, orgasm-fanservice, male-on-female violence filthy trash....


I'm not trying to call Crunchyroll filthy-sex-crazed, taboo-love-obsessed, repulsive-fetish-addicted, pedophilia-engaged perverts or anything like that. I'm just saying.... don't forget about the other 90% of your audience, please.
We get that you all are into the alternative lifestyle and pervy fetish stuff, but we'd appreciate it if all of our most favorite new anime and Jdrama series being released each new season could stop being the ones that are NOT on CR.... some time soon, thanks. Smile

I wouldn't expect much from a site that had an ad for a mmorpg game featuring an 8 year old anime like character with a cleavage and developed breasts.

It's shows like what CR features and what a large percentage of the "anime" community deems catchy that make me want to puke. It's the same reason why I don't call myself an anime lover (although I have probably watched more 60s, 70s, and 80s animes when I was a kid than the majority of people here - animes that are not related to the plague of pervesion that pervades the anime culture today, old animes that would put them to shame in terms of culture and beauty.

I cannot associate myself with a large percentage of anime viewers who I find sickening. And a large percentage of crunchyroll viewers are exactly that.

edit: I am not trying to diss this new gay vampire show. Although I don't believe that homosexuality is normal, I found the relationship between Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji to be interesting, although platonic.

I somewhat feel the same thing about these two. But the intention was definitely to have a homoerotic vibe even if they are just too close to be just friends.

Seriously why come back again and again to post at some drama that you don't like or even plan to watch? And feeding on the hate somemore.

When I saw the title that it is Boys Love I go HAR??? Ok, maybe they put that term in to appeal to that group, fine.

Because as far as I know the drama itself really has almost little to nothing Boys Love, unless you watch with that in mind. Only the manga is coined Boys Love. Seriously lots of drama that adapted from shounen-ai manga has almost eliminated the boys love content and can be enjoyed normally.

I don't watch much dramas, but for me, any drama/movie production should be respected. And it is not made to be filthy like sex tapes(which some of you guys are talking like it is one, shameless?? cheap??) or something like that. I don't read the manga before(or even heard from it until months ago when the drama was just out) but from experiences, the drama should only be talking about them solving some crimes and other normal story telling plot and can be enjoyed like a normal story.

Right when I thought the site didn't have enough loli/yuri content, we now get BL.
