The two-part OVA of Gravitation (1999) predates the 13-episode broadcast series. It was aimed at fans of Maki Murakami's original shounen-ai ("boy love") manga: the filmmakers assume the...( read more  read more... ) viewer already knows aspiring rock singer Shuichi Shindou, novelist Eiri Yuki, and their fractious romance. As the release date of Bad Luck's new album approaches, Shuichi wrestles with writer's block and depression. Yuki has been colder to him than usual--and is writing lyrics for the legendary band Nittle Grasper. The OVA offers more self-conscious slapstick than the series, with lots of asides to the audience, and Shuichi's dreams are more explicit. Voice actors Ozan Uenal (Shuichi) and Dennis Schmidt-Foss (Yuki) don't quite match the performances of their counterparts, Rich McNanna and Rome Elliot, but they have less interesting lines. Fans of these popular yaoi characters will want to add this misadventure to their libraries. (Not rated, suitable for ages 16 and older: tobacco use, comic violence, sexual situations, including homosexuality) --Charles Solomon

    I like this anime. it's very funny and cute. but one day, by accident, I saw (on the net.) some pages of the manga... GOD! I've totally freaked out! I mean, they show to many things (and to detailed). I'm glad the anime isn't like that ^_^'
