AniWorthZetsuai 1989
Introduction
On his way back from his late-night job at a gas station, Takuto Izumi spots a young man passed out drunk on the side of the road. He feels compelled to take the person to his apartment to recover; however, he is shocked to find out the next day that the person he rescued is the incredibly popular musician and model, Kouji Nanjou. Takuto would rather end their relationship there so he can focus on dominating high school soccer, but something about Takuto's eyes compels Kouji to stick around.
When Kouji learns that Takuto's mother murdered his father and Takuto was the sole witness, his fascination with him only increases. As their paths continue to intertwine, Kouji's feelings start to change from admiration to a dangerous obsession.

I will defend this yaoi till the day I die. The art style may put a lot of people off. Yes, the art is wacky with their long limbs and fingers that resemble the art of CLAMP. Nearly almost all characters in BL series from the '70s-'90s were hilariously drawn that way. There's nothing wrong with liking feminine-looking boys (if you're under the age of 18 ofc) and men. Get over yourself if you perceive all men should fit your standards of being extra masculine. Go watch some Bara or other yaoi if you see that the image cover isn't right for you. And yes, although I do understand pretty gay men is considered a negative stereotype; I appreciate old yaoi because I can look at modern shounen-ai and other yaoi and see how far they've improved in the animation. I can also compare and contrasts the…

this is ridiculous! I don't like it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I can't say enough times I hate it!
I don't know why they say it's yaoi. it's a one sided love only in the end it looks like that the white guy is about to rape the brown guy but in the end even that doesn't happen. the brown guy has only showed hatred to the white guy based on nothing literrally nothing. the brown guy found the white guy passed out between some garbage and just ignored him only for later to come back for no particular reason and when they woke up the brown guy is suddenly angry at the white guy.
there is no good explanation about the past. The mother murdered the father because she loved him! No you didn't read that wrong it's literally what happend. I was also like wtf is happening.
there is no log…

To be honest the cover art and yaoi genre through me for a loop. Both i did not expect to be what i ended up seeing. The emotions and drama that went into this movie caused my emotions to stir. The passion, the strength of will really could connect to the viewer. Sure at first the story portrays a kind of screw you (hate you) kind of moment. However, had it not have been would the same ending have been reached? The cover art is there to show the stone cold emotion/emotionless feeling. The genre is there because both main characters are both strong roles. I am not saying a woman can not be as strong. Women can even be stronger but they are known for there emotions not there muscles. Hard truth but it is the truth.
Along time ago i heard from an unknown s…

The decision to start Zetsuai was a random one for me. I am not the world’s biggest yaoi fangirl, not that I am somehow morally against or disgusted by the subject matter, but I always attempt to try new things. I really did try to go into this with an open mind but sadly this turned out to be exactly the kind of tripe I was originally expecting. As an anime in general this may be the worst drawn and most poorly designed show I have ever seen.
The story starts out with a flashback of our hunky lead reminiscing about a football hunk from his childhood. Excuse me will I clean my keyboard after spilling my tea laughing at that statement. I lied; there is nothing hunky about our girly man leads. Back on point, the lead Koji Nanjo is a super famous and popular musician who insists he isn’t gay…
