I've watched two episodes now and a lot of the terminology used and dialog points to this being Yaoi, but they do it just to the point where i can't be sure.

I simply cannot believe they picked these terms out of coincidence instead of trying to appeal to BL fans. The flight crew is basically the same dialog you see in forums talking about the favorite pairing between two male leads in an anime/manga.

My answer is no ...but ...this is a pointless question . If its a yaoi we already see "someone dick entering someone ass and both of the same gender" - thing, but no.

Perhaps the 'coupling' system is too much for you, lol , hehe :P

no

I think the coupling thing is just a joke by the producers to gives us an excuse to why the main character knows how to pilot a mecha

I don't think it's a yaoi, but it's possible since there's only two episodes out.

Whether it is or not, yaoi wouldn't be the reason I dislike it, it would be because of how shitty the mechs look.

It worked! The producers plot to get it free publicity worked! >:D

It's like how Miley Cyrus attracts all that attention by doing controversial music videos. It gets people to talk about it.

Maybe we are watching different shows because I don't see the yaoi part of it... Or maybe it's because I don't have any experiences with yaoi shows o.0 Not really in my interest.

Nope, it's yuri.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

It's not yaoi but it gives this vibe where the main characters should just say "no homo" to each other after saying something that sounds gay. "Let's do a Buddy Complex coupling man, I propose to you! no homo."

Not yaoi, but with termings like that, im amazed that the protagonist actually does not swings after other guys.

No really.. For some people, this IS porn for sure..

Pointless. Thread. Ever. I mean why are you thought like that?

Unless IF there's a sexual innuendo in this show, I won't be surprise with that.

*Raises eyebrows at the dumb question.....*

I agree with the above quote...... However- to be fair - I think the original poster may have meant: "Is this Shounen-Ai".
The short answer to that is also.... NO.
At least not from what I've seen.... there's no source material that I've been able to find (e.g. game, manga etc...) so that's why I commented that it was a dumb question.

However, I'll give a bit more explanation.
Explanation:
To the best of my knowledge- Yoai (Or Yuri for that matter) is the type of anime that depict the details of sexual acts between malexmale and/or femalexfemale (I see them as sub-genres of "Hentai").

Shounen-Ai (Boy-Love) or Shojou-Ai (Girl-Love) are a romantic or somewhere near romantic relationship between 2 or more characters of the same gender......... So I assume that was what you meant-since this anime isn't listed as a hentai, which I believe most full blown Yoai or Yuri would be. I could be wrong there though.... >_>;.... but at this point I don't think so.

I have seen no signs of it being any of these, that could change, but I doubt it. The closest it's come to being suggestive at all in the sex department is their references to things in regards to the "Coupling" system....
They use terms like:
"Proposal", "Engagement" (I may be remembering that one wrong) or "Ring Engagement", "Lifting the veil" (Such as in a wedding to kiss the bride after the vows), "Coupling" And possibly another one or 2.... those aside.... I don't see anything to suggest that anyone's inclined to be in a shounen-ai or shojou-ai situation.
They'd likely have to use those terms if the pair was malexfemale also......

So far I am noticing some interesting relationships.... but they all seem to be malexfemale in nature.... along with the usual boy-crazy teenage girl.
And really- asking that will just get a lot of sarcastic answers- just try it if your interested.... if you see something that bothers you just drop it.... >_>

Are you kidding?! What makes you say that?

I mean some people thought it has a few Yaoi references like the word 'Nice coupling'.

Seriously, I find out it their jokes on discussion thread aren't quite amuse & unnecessarily funny to me even though that word actually refers to this:-
