These two, I guess. Got the wedding rings like Kaworu in Shinji and pretty much the whole staff agrees they're in love with each other and going to spend the rest of their lives together.

>>145713219
I never knew that about the staff agreeing.

>>145712613
Shinji loved him like a brother, only Kaworu was a fag.
Fuck off, /y/.

How is it any different than just going 'lets talk about gays in anime'.

He felt like he was the brother he never had.

>>145713327
Do you want your brother's Lance of Longitude in your central dogma?

>>145713524
But he never wanted anything sexual himself.

Shit source, but it's a decent summary of the staff comments. It's kind of incomplete and doesn't mention the novels and everything related, though.

Itsuki was definitely in love with him and by Word Of God him and Sensui were actually a couple. Not a very healthy relationship, though.

>>145713788
Pretty sure canonically they're just "too pure" or whatever.

>>145712613
CLAMP has many examples, I think, then again for CLAMP love is just love.

And then the series was called 夫婦漫才, "a husband and wife comedy act".

I've always seen Kikuhiko as having a slight one-sided crush on Sukeroku, or at least more or an interest in men than in women.
Though that's probably down to the author being mainly a BL mangaka.

It wasn't about homosexuality so much as Shinji feeling truly loved (i.e. accepted and appreciated) for the first time in his life.

Not to say that there weren't homoerotic vibes (there were); I just think you'd be missing the more important point by focusing on that aspect of it. Shinji's struggle was ultimately about not being able to develop healthy relationships with people, including with himself, and a lot of that was because he didn't know what it felt like to be loved from the start. Kaworu was there to stand as the apotheosis of love, the thing Shinji most craved and lacked in his life. That he was a male was VERY important in my opinion because it served to underscore that the connection was more on an emotional level and was not as heavily adulterated by sexual urges like all his interactions with the women in his life.

tl;dr It wasn't homolust; it was pure love.

>>145722608
That was unrequited.

Samurai Flamenco.

>>145722979
The only reason Anno made Kaworu a boy was because he wanted to try writing BL. Just look at the drafts, he intentionally made it a homo love story.

>>145726718
Maybe, but authorial intent is not the be all and end all authority on the meaning of a narrative.

Any CLAMP work is bound to have heavily implied gays, be it male or female.

I think this is the only other example outside of BL (and even then whether or not it's BL is up for debate).

>>145732244
It's BL disguised as dystopian sci-fi. Using a normal art style is just a spook to throw us off

>>145733892
wasn't this nohomo-ized by someone from the staff later?

>>145720698
I'd say Kiku being gay is a valid interpretation of his character. There's a lot of emphasis on how he doesn't really connect with women despite being handsome, talented, and famous. Sukeroku was straight as can be though.

>>145733892
>A boy falls in love a boy (no homo).

>>145716484
I don't think Sensui loved him back.

Actually... Neither is gay technically... Itsuki loved his FEMALE personality...

>>145717283
No, they are pretty much the closest to an endgame ship in their game. The 'too pure' comment was about Sorey to females.

>>145734637
Untrue. Togashi himself said him and Shinobu were a couple. I think they probably became a couple around the time they first met. Itsuki said he loves Shinobu most.

>>145735930
doujins and fan art aren't canon.

Kaworu is basically god and loves Shinji in a benevolent way.

Shinji is so starved for love of any kind he ends up being awkward around someone who truly loves him as he is.

Pottery.

>>145712613
No, because Kaworu isnt even a human and he is not sexually attracted to him. He is just that way because is interested in shinji the same way you would pamper your own dog. Considering he sees humans as an inferior kind of life form. After all wherent they spawned from his and Lilith's tang?
