Sukisho started out with potential to be deep and emotional... I was expecting some sad medical drama ?? I guess that's the best way to describe my expectations.
It took so long to get to the point; it was overly drawn out. I kept groaning my way through the silly episodes because the plot developed ever so slowly. It was silly forever, and then the plot jumped off the cliff into the darkness.
The characters were a little confusing, but probably the best part of the anime. A part of me loved the strange yaoi dystopia where women don't exist. There wasn't a lot of development though, it took too long to even get to know the characters.
The dissociative counterparts were a bit unrealistic, but heaps better than a lot of media about DID. It bothered me how different the voices and looks o…

This is mostly gonna be short because I watched this way back in the day when I had to watch anime on Youtube in 3 parts! Wow, that was so long ago.
Anyways, this review is mostly from memory (I might rewatch it) but I remember liking this anime. I thought it was fun. Yes, the plot is really...out there, like if you really think about it it doesn't make such sense. But 12 year old me thought it was fun.
The 'seme' and 'uke' dynamic is played pretty straight here and while I'm pretty...over that whole thing nowadays (I'm 23) at the time it was new and rather interesting.
Anyways, this anime is probably a 4 or 5 but I would have to re-watch it to be sure.

Ok to state my first point is that my experience in Yaoi anime is small but i do enjoy them mostly on the same level as any other. As an example this anime has its fun and interesting points but it also has its confusing parts and unnecessary
I mean as a conspect i found this anime interesting in a sence i like the idea about the different personalities loving eachother but what broke it for me on some points was the execution of the story. Its like when you watch those drama anime there they just throw random information as you expecting you to forget its flaws because we got what you want. Although the story is something that for me pulled it badly down i liked how everything was drawn and the characters in it. Problem again was with how they were how good lovers the consept and the sto…

I thought the story was really intersing, but this anime didn't flesh it out enough. The majority of the episodes were fillers, and just random humour, which is fine for a show, but if you're going to have a story you should not waste most of your episodes on nothingness.
I enjoyed this show, but I wouldn't watch it again, the opening song was nice, and I thought the characters were really likable, the art turned me off at first, but after a few episodes it was pretty cute.
As I said, most of the episodes, in my opinion, we're pointless to the story, the show introduced things, but then covered them up with random goofyness, there were multiple episodes that had nothing to do with the central story at all, and it was pretty disappointing. I think I the writer's spent more time on the st…

I was looking up some decent yaoi/BL series to watch when this was suggested to me. The person who recommended this genuinely thought it was good, so I thought, why not watch it ?
The huge probem with BL/Yaoi type series is that it is generally low budget and low quality anime, with close to no plot, often bad art/animation, bad music and mediocre characters. Also, the more it gets close to something that looks like a plot, the worse it tends to become, and that's what happened with Sukisho.

THE PLOT
I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest. Also, note that I wanted to ease up on the rating because in my experience, games don't really translate well into anime series. (Just look at Togainu no Chi, DRAMAtical Murder...) But in this case, it was a…

I loved this SO much. I loved the main characters and I thought Yoru and Ran were a great touch. It really made this anime unique for me and I loved how there was so much action, yet romance, and suspense all at the same time.
The artwork was of a typical anime and for that I give it a 10 since it's the style I like and the characters and story was a definite 10 for me as well! I don't understand why so many people rate this so low cuz some parts weren't as dramatic as they made it seem but i completely disagree.
Honestly you can say that for so many other animes I can name at least 5 right now that had overly dramatic parts, so get over it, it happens. I can see where people would get frustrated at some certain scenes (not going to spoil it), but those scenes had to do with what happen…

The sad thing about this show... is that I really wanted to like it. I actually rated the story quite highly, because I did find the premise to be absolutely fascinating.
Unfortunately, more than half of this series is taken up by filler. Dumb little side plots that really took away from their story. In fact, I considered dropping it about halfway through.
I am not one of those people who is automatically opposed to filler. I think it can fit into some shows really well and add to the world the writers were trying to create. But seriously? A 13 episode show does not have time for 6 or 7 episodes of filler!
Because of this, my enjoyment of this show was severely stunted. This is one of those shows I would love to see redone with a little more focus, because the whole alternate persona…

Alright, first of all, I really enjoyed this anime, mostly the characters
But something here is bugging me and it's that the anime seems really lame compared to the original story. Im not gonna make any spoilers but here are my points
when I started watching it, it really caugh my eye. I thought it was going to be awesome but I was wrong. 6 of the 13 episodes didn't focus on the main story but in adding episodes to make it funny. I really liked Sunao so I started to search more information about him and then I discovered the novel and the game, where everything is more dramatic and interesting, it's not something to laugh to be honest. Again, we're talking about the anime but it still dissapoints me.
The art It's not bad but neither a masterpiece. Take in mind that this is an anime from…

The story plot and setting for Sukisho is, to me, very fresh. I would say that it is one of a kind. However, despite having such a interesting plot, it is not being built on. I feel that there are some parts of the story where it could still be elaborated on, so as to create a better story.
The art for Sukisho is excellent, and the characters are all very intriguing. Character developments for the main leads are done in a very smooth way, even when there are a few filter episodes. One can clearly see the process in which the main characters changed, in which the psychological changes are more emphasised.
The only complaint i have is that there are not enough man x man scenes in the anime. It is very shounen-ai, but not yaoi enough.
Overall, in my opinion, this is a extremely enjoyabl…

I've noticed, that as I read the reviews, that a lot of people seemed to dis and look for the faults in this anime. I am still new to the yaoi anime department, but seeing that I am, I thought I should at least give my opinion on this.
As I said, I'm new to Yaoi, and this was a great way to ease me into the themes. It's not overly detailed and somewhat cute in a way. Though, this may not be a good anime for hard-core and people who like yaoi to a major, this is great for those who have just been introduced to the anime.
Though, I did question why there were only GUYS in this anime. I never saw one girl and obviously, in this an all boy school, everyone has strange interests (though that doesn't bug me entirely). But I did think, since it is an all boy school, strange interests are bound…

Overall, I thought Sukisho was ok. I loved the storyline. It was more interesting than some of the other yaoi's I've seen. BUT! It could have used a bit more work! They made it VERY CLEAR who the uke's and the seme's were, but I liked that it was finally done from a seme's point of view for once (WHAT A COMPLETE SHOCKER! 8O)! I liked that the hair colors of the characters were vivid, but it kinda started reminding me of Yugioh after a while and for some reason I kept thinking of Sora kind of like Sonic, honestly. The kids were cute and I thought they were kinda like the mini versions of Sora and Nao and that blonde guy (I didn't really pay attention to him very much X3). It was very strange that everyone in the show was gay, and male. Not EVERYONE can be gay! And I absoulutely HATED the la…

Warning: spoilers.
The yaoi fangirls are going to hate me for this. Back when this series came out, it was a runaway smash hit with American fans, especially on the internet. I had never bothered watching the series, but did so on the recommendation of a friend while looking for something to fill my yaoi needs.
I am a pretty dedicated fan of yaoi, but Sukisho is the genre done wrong. Ordinary I am fairly forgiving when it comes to yaoi anime because I understand that the prime focus isn't much different than that of a soft core pornography. The idea behind most shounen ai/yaoi series is to give the girls (and boys) something to gush over. I believe my main problem with Sukisho is that it attempted an actual plot line only to fail miserably.
So what make Sukisho's intriguing sounding pl…

Story: 1/10 My first grip about this show is the story. Now Sukisho does get a story, but it gets it FIVE hours into the six you will be watching it. The story, and background comes so late into the show that I think it would be better to not have it at all.
Art: 5/10 The art is average nothing amazing, not bad. The only good thing out of the show is the fanservice. Other than that average.
Sound: 3/10 I didn't even notice it in the show at all.
Character: 2/10 Are they're characters? Yes, is there development yes? Yet when a show has us wait over 80% to get the story, it might as well be absent.
Enjoyment: 6/10 The art, and cheesy humor, and fanservice is enough to make my yaoi fangirl like the show.
Overall: 4/10 Because the enjoyment is good the show is slightly less than good.…

Score 10. Why? Only because of the psychological part of this anime.
Art definately isn't brilliant, though the music makes it up.

This anime piqued my interest. I watched this because of a recommendation and I'm really glad I followed it.
The anime itself is funny but there are some scenes that are quite mature I will not spoil anything just watch it.
The storyline is rather interesting and unique for me it's new, we do not get hunted everyday by some wierdo hehe.
Overall this anime is great some bad points and really not perfect but its really good to watch if just want to get your spirits up.

This is a great anime. Although it starts a little slow, but got a lot of humor in the first episodes, although episode 6 is kinda boring. Later on it gets more serious and darker, and every episode few more details about an event in the past will be shown. Every episode a few more details on the situation will be discovered, and not until the end the truth gets uncovered.
This is a story about love and hate. True love. Cause no matter what Fujimori did, how mean he was to Hashiba and made him to something terrible, Hashiba will face his worst fears to save him. That's what true love should be about.

Okay Sukisho does have some faults. The strangest thing about it is the absence of any female character in the entire series, although there is no shortage of males looking like females. The plot is not particularly original and the uke REALLY needs a haircut.
But overlooking this there is a lot more positive in this series than negative. The seme/uke stereotypes are not as predictable and the story (shock horror) is actually told from the seme's perspective! The dynamics between the characters are really cute too.
Comedy wise, although some of the jokes were predictable, I still had to pause and go back because I was laughing so hard. The art was pretty in my opinion and I am very fussy when it comes to art, it can make or break an anime for me.
So all in all I loved it and I have al…

This is one of the few anime I have bought and I was totally satisfied with it. The story is not the best, it seems not planned at all. The artwork could been done better time to time. In other hand I like the background music (especially Matsuris) and I love the humor and the characters! I don't hate a single character, even if one of them is evil.
Sukisho made me laugh like crazy and because of the enormous enjoyment I got from watching it I give it "10" as an overall score. I was very touched in the end of the anime, it was all sweet! I'm not going to tell spoilers.
For me this is a masterpiece and is one of best anime I ever seen. I have watched it over and over again, I don't know how many times actually. The OST is very, very great to me too. I listened to it until I grew tired of it…

Have a feeling that the whole Suskisho series was shown mostly for concetrating on contradictory relations of the 2 main heroes including some fanservice (mostly for girls - some relatively intimate but not hentai scenes). What else? I remember only a lot of nice mediocre comedy and a strange confusing story of main heroes' past (what was it there for?).
I've watched it mainly due to high rates and to get acquaintanced with shounen-ai trend... But as for me Loveless is much much more touching though there is relatively little shounen-ai there and a lot of mystery and story twists.

Sukisho -
Story:
The summary may sound good, but what really lies beneath is a typical, overused plotline with no real comedy to back it up. Hey who cares? Were in it for the shoujo-ai, that itself was somewhat disappointing but enough to appease the people, however this story really lacked so much, not only failing to be remotely funny, it fails in the drama department aswell, the drama is so weak that you just want to laugh. However what really saved this anime from turning to complete boredom was Ran and Yoru (you'll see :P).
Art:
The art wasn't amazing stuff. but just mediocre art like most animes out there.
Sound:
The voice actors did a good job; it must've been hard being a guy and trying to keep a feminist voice... The music was okay... It played some really dramatic music whe…
