You're wasting your time.
These people are deluded about the obvious and problematic pedophilia of the work.
@JaysonNnN genuinely cant comprehend how youd think this is pedophilic but the comment replying to you sums up what I think well. At the end of the day this seems more like a comedy than anything

This is important to point out, but I'd like to add Banana Fish isn't the only series with a same-sex couple that isn't labeled as BL/GL, with Witch from Mercury being an example that has a whole lot less subtext than Banana Fish. And from the NSFW clip someone posted to the thread, it makes far more sense to label this one as BL/GL than the other two I mentioned.

When Twilight does it no-one bats an eye , when a BL Anime does it Everyone loses their Minds !

I thought it was funny AF, because at first you are thinking 'is he a pedo?' then 'oh No he isn't he just wants to drink his blood when he comes of age and make sure he remains pure' (something world society's have been creepily obsessed with for thousands of years). Overall it's a fun concept and I'm a CSAS so if YOU were uncomfortable with it its probably because you just prefer to see Echhi and tits constantly in your Anime and the thought of being Gay scares the crap out of you..... There is A LOT of other Anime that deserves to be deleted from existence ... 3 I can think of that pewdiepie casually watched and made a youtube video on *sigh* I will hold my reservations till he actually decides to r*p* him

@juuo You genuinely can't comprehend how this show could be viewed as pedophilic?

How about when the 15 year old boy walks into a naked sleeping man's room and they talk like nothing is happening.

Or maybe how the 450 year old man is obsessed with a 15 year old boy's virginity?

Or when the old man is creepily saying "Just 3 more years! Just 3 more years!" With a crazy look on his face but then you realize that he met the boy when he was 5 YEARS OLD.

What about when the old guy gets a massive boner while thinking about the 15 year old boy?

Hey, how about when adult man rationalizes how its okay to groom a little boy because other vampires prefer 18 year old girls?

If you honestly cannot see a problem with any of this, you should probably talk to someone with a PhD.

@BignGay Oh yeah Black Butler where someone wants to sexually protect a child's virginity? The work that openly mocks the rich and their pedophile delusions? You don't know what you're saying, please, it sucks.
Enjoy this show if you want, it's ok bud.
@JaysonNnN Black Butter, the manga where the author wrote a Bl oneshot were a kid has sex with a adult.

There's some people unable to recognize a blue comedy when its right in their face in this topic. Yeah the vampire is a weird pedo. That's the whole point. Its exaggerating and poking fun of these kinds of tropes and scenarios which are common in some of the trashier BL manga and of course vampire fiction too. Not thinking its funny because its offensive is one thing and reasonable but not getting that its a joke in the first place is just embarrassing.

@MISSed_Bandwagon I love debating with people like you even if we don't agree. You could have attacked me like the one I answered before but no you develop valid arguments and points! Bravo and thank you. In any case, you made me want to give this anime a chance and wait a few more episodes, even if I didn't like episode 1.
@JaysonNnN Aww, thank you! Yeah, this is what we're all here for, the love of anime! No need to make the community any more hostile than it already is. :)

I'm glad you've decided to give it another try. I typically don't watch things like this myself, but I think there's room to discuss and disect new anime in a healthy way that doesn't write off uncomfortable topics. I feel that creativity has been shoehorned into safe tropes and safer arenas of consumption that it no longer leaves room for the bizarre and unsavory. It's walking on a tightrope for sure, but as someone else mentioned as long as they "keep the joke a joke" I can see myself pulling through to the end.

I was pretty uncomfortable watching this and I couldn't quite get my brain in the right mode to even laugh at the comedy. I'm still willing to give this a try especially because of the cast of VAs. And I can't help being a little curious. I mean, the vampire gets turned on by the idea of drinking his favorite kind of blood but the fact that it's the blood of a still minor still threw me off. For the vampire it's feeding, and maybe he wasn't thinking about the boy but his blood, so he sees him as food and not a sexual partner? I don't know if that makes the scenario any better, this could go under the psychology tag since it fucks with my head like this and I'm trying to find meaning where there might not be any :D

I'm really weirded out how people don't know how to classify manga. This manga is publicized in a shounen magazine, so it's shounen. BL depicts gay relationships (be it romantic and/or sexual) and is catered to women (still there are a lot of lgbt people that like it). All the girls that are coming here for the BL are just refusing to watch this because it's not catered to them (not BL). MAL only tagged this BL because there's a gay character and some gags about it, so the normies will see the BL tag and won't watch this.

BTW the author has written shounen and BL before (check him out, he's really good!)

Still I like BL and I like this, this is right up my alley. I laughed a lot and the gags are awesome, Ran-chan's obsessiveness is really funny. I feel the end will be the guy with the girl and Ran-chan realizing that he feels happy when he sees that the guy is happy and alive.

This is like a parody of pseudo/adjacent-BL stuff like Black Butler and I'm all here for it. I understand people not finding it funny because of how on-the-nose it can be but it's pretty obviously a parody of josei+dansei-muke romance, old-school trashy BL and vampire character tropes so I'm a bit surprised that people take it so seriously. Someone mentioned that Twilight did this unironically and that's what this series gets at, how vampires would never bother to try to romance us since they see humans as nothing but livestock to feed on. How that big age gap would actually affect his perception of people (Ran-chan sees them as disposable and easy to kill) instead of being treated as a decoration that makes vampire characters "sexy" and "mature". There's a lot of stuff going on under the narrative hood so far and I'm interested in seeing where it'll go from here.

Idk why ppl freaked up at this show, while theres no romance between Ranmaru and Rihito in the manga so far(i've read the raw) most of it just for comedic purpose.
Ranmaru clearly just interested on Rihito because of his blood not in romance way. I'll be waiting for Umetarou to showing up tho, he is the biggest Ranmaru simp in the manga.
can't wait to see it being animated it will be hilarious.
Anyway kinda like the pace and not bad ep overall.

Good concept in theory, but man is it gross when you think about it more.
He chose the kid at age 8, and was gonna wait 10 years to drink his blood, nut getting a stiffy about him at age 15? 💀
Gross.
