Oh man, I like that sound of that!

More BL undertones? Maybe a ship actually becoming canon? Even more fanservice? Or maybe none of those things and they are just trying to get us hyped. Either way, I'm looking forward to it!

I just got back from Japan and I was stunned at how much merch there was for this. Free!, Attack on Titan, UtaPri, and KuroBas seem to be the most popular things, going by shelf space in anime stores, and all of those appeal to the same audience (Attack on Titan being the only one of those to have a lot of appeal beyond the pretty boys). So yes, this seems to be the new trend. I can't wait!

This has proven more commercially successful than moeblobs now, kyoto animation should stick to the juicy fujoshi market full time plus plenty of males have fully embraced their yaoi (hidden and not so hidden)desires with this one Rolling Eyes Wink


The amount of BS and AMB trolling in this comment is simply ridiculous.


;< He's just another homophobe who needs to vent his anger there's one female/non-straight male anime coming compared to his entire library of cleavage-galore, panty shot animes we get every season.

I didn't bother reading it but his long wall of text is a clear indication of just that, lol.

Well, looking at the discs sales its evidence enough. This is shaping to be the fujoshi era. Now pretty boys in the same neutral fashion as Kuroko are the best for me but I welcome the likes of free and utapri instead of well defined moeblob trends, there are excellent anime that cater to fujoshi that are fantastic (that are neutral and still manage to get fujoshi´s attention AND their money).

Sure thing, The homophobics seem to be others than feel the need to deny it so hard. What wrong with it? Its 2014. Out of the closet!

I am so homophobic that my best friend (IRL) is gay and I even partake with him and his partner in turn, I have plenty lesbian friends too.

I'm surprised ANN didn't report on the incident with the girl assaulting another girl with a pylon for Free merchandise.

Someone didn't read my response completely. Your post is guilty of effectively the same thing. Rolling Eyes

This is why you just ignore such obvious bait.. you see much higher level stuff pass threw 4chan every minute, we just ignore and report.

It's pretty obvious with one glance both sides are biased towards the shows previously mentioned, and more than likely watched next to nothing or anything at all.

Just to clarify i don't mean you Yuno.

I was hoping this meant that it would premiere in the summer, but alas, no official date yet. Still excited!
