The lack of decent yaoi anime I was bitching about a week ago? 

I FOUND A GOOD ONE.

No, a great one imho. The men aren't related, they act fairly manly (ok ok, there's a little crying here and there but c'mon, their story is tragic), the uke's eyes aren't taking over his face, and more importantly, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE OF LEGAL AGE.

The anime is called Winter Cicada or... Fuyu no Seme in Japanese? I'm not entirely sure about the Japanese name, it's just what I see under the header.

There are three OVAs. The last OVA is by far the best, simply because of quality (and the climax ahur, suggestive pun is just wow).

You can find all three OVAs on youtube. That's where I watched it, though maybe a different site would have better versions of the first two. I'm not up for looking for such a site so I'll just leave a link to part one of the first OVA. I'm sure all of you are capable of following the bedcrumbs to the very end :)

IMPORTANT: Don't read any of the comments people leave. They're stupid and inconsiderate and give things away before you've finished the anime.

One thing I've noticed with yaoi anime is that they seem to like one of the men with dark hair and eyes that are either blue or teal, paired with someone with light hair (blond, honey brown, etc) and like...HONEY BROWN eyes. Just something I noticed.

On a side note, I got to check out an OVA for FAKE and I very much enjoyed it. The actual art wasn't super pleasing but the overall character development was too my liking. Dee was just the shit, srsly. Can anyone tell that I have a thing for obnoxious men in anime/manga? Which is bizarre because men like that usually annoy me to no end in real life.

Aaaaaaand let me just add a little random something here at the end... STANDING CAT.

Ok, my Grimmjow nearly shit himself over this. The characters I write watch youtube videos with me, what can I say? It'd be like Zangetsu watching youtube videos with Ichigo, from inside his miiiiiind. More disturbing is the fact that now the song "Cats on Mars" has become a sort of theme for my Grimmjow... scary? I can't decide.

Winter Cicada is actually an OVA inside an OVA.

The original OVA is called Embracing Love and is the story of how the 2 mains in WC (actors Kyousuke Iwaki and Youji Katou) meet while fighting for roles in a movie (not WC, but something else) and the relationship they end up having. It's really good and there is a manga for Embracing Love as well. Embracing Love is 2 OVA's long and the manga is considerable longer.

Whoops! I'm sorry, sweets! I should have mentioned this anime (and the manga? Is completely awesome too!) Unfortunately, it looks like they took Haru wo Daite Ita (Embracing Love) down of mangafox (funny, it was there a few days ago), but some of her other work is there as well. Her drawing style is gorgeous, and her storylines amazing. (For me there has to be both).

Yeah, the FAKE art is pretty dated, but it's a classic, good, non-offensive Yaoi manga/ova (which I haven't watched yet). Dee IS the shit. He cracks me up but at the same time you can see that he really, really cares about Ryo, which I love.

I'm glad you found something you like though! I'm going to have to check this out as well. *plots*

And yes. There must always be contrasting hair/eye colour in yaoi couples. Always. Just for the aesthetics. It's hillarious, but I approve of it immensly. ;)

Of course Grimmjow watches youtube with you. Who else would really?

Mmm, Winter Cicada and Haru wa daiteita are awesome, they're like yaoi classics I guess, next to Kizuna and all ^__^ Though another really great/mind-blowing yaoi OVA is Sex Pistols. The first OVA was released a couple of days ago and most of the character, with an exception of a few she-males are actually men XD I've read the manga before watching the first OVA and it left me in a backstreet alley, cum leaking out of my brain...I was mindfucked ^^ That's how good it is, though at first it doesn't give off that impression ;__; So if you wanna check it out, which I greatly recommend you do, the torrent file is over at aarinfantasy.com and the manga can be read over at mangafox XD
