Gay anime!!!!!

When Karen was blogging about Death Note in her blog, it hit me about an anime that im currently watching on Animax (ch. 75 Astro)........It's called God(?) Save Our King or in Japanese Kyo Kara Maoh!.........

This is the synopsis of it......

Yuri Shibuya is an average high school student whose passion in life is baseball. On his way home from school one day, Yuri spies his classmate, Ken Murata, being harassed by a group of boys. He decides to help and calls out to the bullies. When the bullies notice him Murata runs away. The bullies drag Yuri to the girl's bathroom to dunk his head in a toilet for letting their prey escape. However, something strange happens and Yuri finds himself getting flushed into another world. He meets some key characters and soon finds himself being called the 'Maou', or Demon King. Conrad Weller and Günter von Kleist rescue Yuri and take him to Blood Pledge Castle, the residence of the Maou. There, Yuri learns he is to be crowned king and rule over 'Shin Makoku' (眞魔国 True Demon Kingdom).
Throughout the series, Yuri is constantly confronted with the results of even the smallest choices he makes. With a strange power dwelling inside of him, Yuri becomes a deliverer of justice in the world of Shin Makoku.


After reading the sypnosis you'll think of it as a normal choosen-warrior-to save-the-world genre like the sword in the stone story......Part of it is true.....but there is more then meets the eye.....

After the first few episode.....(currently on episode 10), the story feels like watching the Brokeback Mountain movie.....*SWT!!!!!I was stunned, speechless.....

The second episode was like....jawdropper!!!!! let me explain

It was in a scene where Yuri slap Wolfram on his left cheek.....in the Demon (Maoh) world, that symbolizes a proposal of marriage to the receipent of that slap.......to add oil in the fire, Conrad said that it was a normal thing for a man to marry another man and give birth.......Yes you heard me right, give birth....(dont ask me how.....it still a mistery to me too!)

This is a scene from episode 8.....both of them are guys!!!!! although wolfram looks like a girl.....well, you know japanese anime, most of the guys looks like girls....if im not mistaken. this pretty boys are called bishen.....

I feel kinda disturb about it....feels icky.....since my guy friends sometimes talk gayish stuff.....* shiver*

But, i dont have any bones to pick about this anime, not a bad anime to watch....only that "gayish" part really makes me wanna say something about it.....

**PS any gay reader (i doubt any) reading this, im not opposing of gayism, but i never watch gayish anime before, just wanna point it out......

Cheers!!!
