| Hmmmmmmmmm. Interesting. I guess I will watch this...the concept always seemed kind of squicky to me but I guess this is an opportunity to give it a chance. |
| Nice, more episodes this time. I'll definitely watch this. |
| Hell yeah. Yaoi revolution! |

| Mmm. Yaoi. |

| Ooh, nice. Ai no Kusabi is pretty much the only yaoi series I've ever truly liked, so I'll be watching this for sure. |
| omg. *hyperventilates* I have to watch this. The remake of a masterpiece. T^T And the staff gives me great hopes for this one! |

| Wow...more yaoi! YAY! |
| Yay! I loved the original OVA, so I'm looking forward to this. |
| YAY!! WOOHOOO!!! XD |
| Lol, nobody likes yaoi |
| Something. |
WcDuck said: Lol, nobody likes yaoi The other posts say otherwise :/ Anyway, this....kinda came out of nowhere. I mean, to remake something like this that is mostly considered a classic by some people is kinda offputting but hey, could interesting. Wonder if it will be closer to the original novels. |
 |
| Interesting. I saw the original version earlier this summer, and loved it! xD Either way, it's not stopping me from wanting to check out the remake. |
  |
| LOL OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT ... the final is so sad, orz but it worth watching! I want more of this, yey |
WcDuck said: this only goes for straight men and lesbians. xPLol, nobody likes yaoi otherwords, thus this series looks sexy so far. |
 |
| yoosh |

WcDuck said: Lol, nobody likes yaoi Pfff! Where have you been!? MAL is practically overflowing with Yaoi fan girls. (I'm not one of them btw) |

But Ai no Kusabi is, for me and for many others, at a scale "beyond yaoi". A classic, for all that means. That is the only reason why I am skipping heart beats with this news. It's a remake and it's done by awesome staff. If it was just for the gratuit pornography, I would not wait for a remake of this OVA, I would just watch some random average quality yaoi and squeal. |

| Ai no Kusabi is such a classic, it's a little strange for them to be remaking it, and I'm cautious about it...but at the same time I can't help but feeling overjoyed. I would love for them to adapt all the volumes and the entire story. x.x |
  |
| I will watch this. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Nice. Didin't expect this coming |
| My troll was a success. |
| Something. |
Ryosei_Hime said: I'm a lesbian! X3 A lot more lesbians can enjoy a good yaoi/shounen ai for the emotional relation than people seem to think. I completely agree with this. I watch/read shounen ai/yaoi for that exact reason. Also, I know a few straight men that enjoy such things for that reason too. I have a straight male friend who loves Junjou Romantica because he likes romantic comedy stuffs. And in case anyone's wondering, I watch/read shoujo ai/yuri as well for this reason. Unfortunately it's not in as big of a demand as BL is, but there are a few good manga out there if you search hard enough. I already read het shoujo. I find beauty in all relationships. |
|
| Wow... I had no idea that this OVA was a classic o.o I wasn't sure if was going to watch it, but now I decided I will. I can't wait :D |
 |
| Yes, the original is a classic. It was a very rare example of animated yaoi that had to be passed around on VHS tapes back in the day. :pets hers: XD |

Plus it has such a personal meaning for me... *sniff* But that's a whole new story. xD |

| Hmm, I was already planning to watch the OVA... should I just watch it or might it be worth the wait for this series? (I'd be more motivated to watch it if it's currently airing, too.) |

(I'd be more motivated to watch it if it's currently airing, too.) Still, watching the classic to compare after seems a wiser option. Even though you don't get all the development one would want I think you'll feel much better comparing the remake with the original than the original with the remake (hope it made sense). And, because, otherwise you won't see the OVA as a superior work of art and just as an old version of a potential work of art. xD |

| I don't have that much respect for history, though I do respect it. I wouldn't encourage people to watch kanon 2002 before 2006 just because it came first, though. (As an example). But yeah, if there is lots of room for improvement of development, I think it might be better to wait. |
| Oh man, that reminds me I need to read and watch this yet. |

|
| /o/ Finally, they'll remake this wonderful classic! ^^ |
| some straight men might not mind yaoi |
hirahira said: some straight men might not mind yaoi most straight men. or should i say the "selected few"? |
|
| Wow, just a few months a go we yaoi-lovers were complaining that there weren't enough (or really any) long yaoi series, and now look. Not to mention a couple of interesting OVA's coming up. But I guess that happens occasionally. Now I wish they would finish a few stuck in limbo. Ai no Kusabi, well I saw the original and it is: I'm giving away the ending here *WARNING* And, it shouldn't matter if there are people who hate yaoi, since there are also people who love it; no one is making me watch loli moe hentai or giant robots if I don't want to. Everyone has their own taste. They wouldn't be making it if there weren't enough people to watch it (or buy it). |
 |
| The only Yaoi I've seen... O_O I don't know if I look at it again. |
 |
| This news is making me so happy ^_^. I hope they'll stay faithful to the novels, and since Yoshihara sensei is behind the script, there's a good chance of a good translation from paper to video . Ah, to see Iason and Riki yet again *_* (not to mention, everyone else -Katze**-) |
| I will be watching =D |
 |
WcDuck said: Lol, nobody likes yaoi Then I suggest that you'll start looking for yaoi fans here on MAL, I can guarantee you: you will find A LOT. |
| WHAT REALLY!!! T____________________T That is totally awesome <3 |
