Kasai Tomomi is going to be voice acting.

Okay, so the anime is a shounen-ai anime, which is fine with me, considering that I am actually starting to get into the BL scene. The character Tomomi voices is a cutesy ten-year-old girl and that suits her voice.  I still remember the last time she voiced ICE. Akimoto gave her the wrong role. Her character

I LOVE shounen-ai, almost as much as I love yaoi. I'm definitely going to check this anime out! Are you interested in any other shounen ai animes right now (like Junjou Romantica)?

[cupofmidsummer]

yaaaay! I finally found a junjou fan~

Other than junjou, I haven't really spent a lot of time watching BL anime. I've watched (and read) Loveless last year. I have never watched Gravitation though, despite its popularity.

so, um, any good recommendations?

[tsubasa_nine]

Yeah, that show owned me. I hope they make a second season. @_@''

Oh, I've seen Loveless as well...It had an unfinished ending that made me go "WTF? T_T"

Yesh! Check out; Gakuen Heaven, Monochrome Factor, Kirepapa, Okane Ga Nai, Sensitive Pornograph, Papa to kiss in the dark, Haro Wo Daiteita, Iroku Irokoi Romantan, Enzai (Warning: Shota). That's about it! Most of those are yaoi, but Gakuen Heaven is just shounen ai and I LOVE IT!

BTW, you can watch those shows on VeohTV if not on Youtube! :D

well, didn't the directors make all 24 episodes of junjou at first and then decided to chop it into two seasons?

the Loveless manga is not even anywhere near finished yet so the weird unfinished ending in the anime was kind of expected, I guess.

I actually just started watching Monochrome Factor last night. I am not too sure about it, though. The plot seems interesting and the animation/art looks good but Kengo's and Aya's characters annoy the crap out of me. @_@

I just remembered that I have watched Princess Princess. The series didn't really have a lot of shounen-ai but it was just kind of funny in general.

Damn. I was totally going to try and make this my new Kirarin Revolution, but she only appears in episode 8?

SKE48 will be the worst thing to ever happen =S

I thought her role would be a little bigger than that but I guess I was wrong.

I am not sure how Akimoto will be able to manage another group of 48 girls and I don't think the group will ever be as popular/good as AKB48.

I squealed when I heard they were making this into an anime. I can't wait to see it.

Sorry, but I dont' know the voice actor v-v *feels lame*

[cupofmidsummer]

I have never actually read the manga, though. I only learned about through the seiyuu that I talked about in the entry, who is a member of a Jpop idol group that I am obsessed with.

I don't really know what to think about the series, honestly. So far, there's really nothing interesting to keep me watching (except for the seiyuu that I just mentioned and maybe Ono's "demonic charm" XDD)
