I think so. If only because it's one of the few mainstream shows that has shown a naturally developing homo relationship that isn't forced and doesn't have the standard drama. I'd like to see more shows take the plunge to have MCs in relationships like Yuri on Ice or even more side characters.

That's the problem, it's always "gay as fuck" and ends up in fucking nothing. It's tiring that almost every anime nowadays has some strong yuri/yaoi bait just to get some extra sales instead of being some side romance that actually happens in between the plot.

They only said he was too pure for women, not love. A skit ingame implies Sorey is consciously in love with someone but doesn't want to tell.

Yep, I unironically believe it. We are 5-6 years after Idol anime got huge, the industry need a new market and YoI will tell them that if you make good yaoi people will buy it. Free selling well will be another incentive for them to try.

You missed the point. You are one of these people who think every character ever is straight until proven 100% and every author write straight characters always, because can't into subtle characterization.

Also that's not what Kubo did.

>>150832496

She said "I'm not going to enforce my view of that scene by anyone". Probably because she's getting pestered day and night by the no homo crew.

Yes? It was pretty obviously a kiss and then Kubo compared it to another show that was airing at the same time and had a kiss also. She never confirmed it was an actual kiss, but who cares at this point.

Don't be dumb. The people who are buying YoI are the same fujos who buy BL magazines. (All 17 of them) Yes, this anime proved that the "fujos wont buy canon gay" meme was always fucking stupid. In fact, most fujos aren't even that into anime (JDramas/Pop/manga have much bigger audiences), and those are the ones that YoI is really pulling across the line.

You have to understand, to certain people gay characters can't exist. They are the kind of people who watched No.6 and Eva and thought it was straight and only the authors declaration convinced them.

>>150833319
I don't know, it's just so entirely different and unlike BL. From what I've seen anime fujos in general don't even read much BL either, this just feels like an extended version of that.

Any series that's gay as fuck but ends on uncertain terms is canon gay because it would be absurd to assume either character is asexual just because you don't actually see them fucking. The only time it's baiting is when the character ends up with a girl for no reason other than "lol can't have homos in a christian anime". I'll agree that there's still too much baiting though, since that shit should never happen under any circumstances.

How do you expect me to respond when you didn't even speak english. "Yuribaiting" is a lot different than fujobaiting. Fujobait anime are handmade specifically for fujos. "Yuribaiting" is just some tropes a bunch of anime for brief moments have that ultimately discard. Fujobait anime dont have het endings on purpose. "Yuribait" do because theyre not really trying to bait a market. (So its not even bait honestly. Theres no one to bait.)

None really, it varies with the context. You won't really hear nip fujos calling BL "yaoi", but you'll see other otaku calling anything with homo "yaoi".
The only thing you need to know is that BL is a specific genre about male/male romance.

These two >>150834195 >>150834212 are huge misconceptions that came from the west using "yaoi" and "shounen-ai" to differentiate their BL manga. It only applies to western sites.

funny thing is the people are saying its so brave when love stage did it before. it was censored but at least they didn't cut it out. YOI is a fantasy, the guys are good looking, healthy, mentally stable, rich, popular, and there's no discrimination in their world. there's no appeal for me in perfect people in a perfect world. the occasional hiccup socially doesn't give a character depth. it's a Disney fairy tale romance.

Read Devilman and Devilman Lady. Its the gayest shit ever appealing to yurifags, futa, and tops it off at the end with some really twister homoeroticism unseen in any other anime or manga to this day. Its never said up front though.

I don't even mind it. It's enjoyable from a plot perspective, and I guess why it has the appeal from figure skaters and those that normally don't watch anime. The animation is lacking and the choreographed sequences could have been pulled off better, but the "BL subplot" feels absolutely like bait, even going so far to use JPN LGBT specific wording to make it as "bait-y" as possible without actually crossing the line of full on canon. It's more uncomfortable to me that they are going that far?

That's fujo mentality for you, they want melodrama and suffering to justify their perverted fetishes with perceived depth.

Not my point. The Disney fairy tale vibes are strong in YOI. They're getting married, too? It doesn't need suffering but if that means it has to be perfect, then I'm not into it. I've watched movies and shows with gay couples and I wasn't annoyed at the lack of discrimination. Some self awareness would help YOI though.
>>
>>150835036
Homos in Japan don't majorly like it. Because it's not explicitly sold as a love/romance story, and it doesn't really represent anything for the LGBT community there, as the fictional world it takes place in is perfect and 100% accepting.

You can tell who a series is for by looking at it's merchandising: Animate has YOI specifically in the fujoshi/girls section. This series is not for the homo crowd.

>>150835029
In NGE, Kaworu is Adam who is the Mother of Angels. The female of species of the seed of life as is the only one capable of procreation. For example, Armisael took a Rei appearance talking to Rei but it's male because it can only impregnate/sire (the Impact is actually conception, pregnancy and childbirth on world-affecting basis). The seeds of life can shapeshift at will. Shinji is still a fag because he had no idea and prefers Adam's human male appearance.

By cosmologic gymnastics, Kaworu is heterosexual. He would be gay if were after Rei who has a similar function.

Anima makes Shinji the female side, though. So it's still "but not too gay."

They do. Western audiences are very different from Japanese audiences. Western homos and Japanese fujos like YOI, but western Fujos hate it because they're bottom of the barrel subhuman trash that should be incinerated.

Kaworu thing has been progressively made "it's not gay" guys, when it began as 100% homo, because Anno has lost touch with reality. First with the Adam is technically female in function shit. Then in SRW, Kaworu is listed as genderless or as neutral gender (like Touma of Aquarion). Then Anima came and made Shinji's existence the female, and sinful part of Adam, split from the male and good side, Kaworu. It's also noted he can shapeshift. His angel XX series self, Tabris XX, for example, didn't become female because of a mix with Rei's ADN like the other angels (who had their souls removed and put into mixed blood vessels), but actually is just Kaworu shifting into a female lilin body.

I think this is a response to how Japan sees Kaworu and Shinji as OTP so they are handwaving the homo part with this convoluted bullshit.

Thank you. I think part of the reason why it's even doing as well as it is is because it IS that kind of show, but just with two boys instead of a boy/girl couple. That in itself is kind of interesting to mainstream audiences since they've rarely seen that dynamic with two men.

NGE and, in particular, EoE, has a lot of Oedipus Complex going on. The scene with Gendo getting told by Kaworu, Rei and Yui in EoE was a symbol of how the Triad of Mothers chose the son over the father (and they join him: the whole world is destroyed and remade with Shinji becoming one with Yui first, as merging with Eva 01, then fusing with the Giant with is a fusion of Lilith/Rei and Kaworu/Adam: it's alien cosmic sex. The function is the same: union, impregnation, birth). Kaworu is the mother who Shinji shows romantic interest for because is the only one who isn't related to him. Technically, Kaworu could have had a female body, but he also embodied Shinji's ego ideal in flesh, so it necessarily had to be male in appearance. It's one of Anno's psychoanalysis symbolisms.

You meant, a lot of characters were molded after Ryou.

Oh I agree. Kaworu and Shinji are popular (as even proof it's twice as popular as any of the girls pairings with Shinji, it double the votes of Asuka/Shinji and Rei/Shinji put together when Khara made the survey). But this doesn't mean all gay couples are. It's like saying all girls are as popular as Asuka or Rei.

No, Ryou became the base more of shoujo devil/angel characters. Angel Sanctuary comes to mind. Kaworu became the base of quirky silver haired boy who loves the MC which was a boom in the 90s, specially in BL and shoujo: the model of silver haired dude/black haired Japanese dude is strong after Eva. It wasn't as popular before (blonde dude was more popular).
>>
>>150836100
That's your proof?
>>
>>150836063
Kaworu dies and returns. It's how it is. Shinji cannot be happy for Eva to continue.

He's also literally been turned into a reincarnating being solely to exist for Shinji. He is the ultimate waifu.

Kind of, sort of. Kaworu/Shinji's relationship is so widely conceived likely due to it being like a straight pair with boys. Shinji is the more 'feminine' role of the two, given nothing except those obscure NGE side materials go out of their way to make Kaworu out as anything but male. All of his expys in other anime are explicitly male as well, not some genderless female alien bullshit.

Look at pic-related. Kaworu is Shinji's shojo prince. It's their selling point and that's why nipland widely accepted it. It's a tragic Romeo/Juliet with two boys.

Madoka and Love Live are synonymous to men as YOI is to fujoshi: the target audiences are meant specifically for consumption by their "main audience", and just so happened to have others who enjoyed it.

Shinji cannot ever be content. It's something Anno said that Eva was about Shinji being fucked up and unhappy, learning to take one step toward happiness and two steps backward.

Shinji being relatively at ease doesn't mean he's super happy. One of Shinji's problems is that he forms kind of superficial bonds until Kaworu comes and changes him. Then when he dies, leaves him completely fucked up because he bonded with him that deeply. That's why both Anno and Ogata stated he's never been as emotionally crushed (after Kaworu's death in Rebuild), so he was reduced to a silent, zombie shell.

It really grates me that their relationship was saved for the movie where so many logical loopholes had to be jumped to make it happen. In 24 Shinji was isolated too (and in the manga also) but it was after events that made sense. The time skip and lack of communication really pissed me off because I think it ended up not doing justice to their relationship as Shinji was forced to bond to the only person who would talk to him.
>>
>>150836467
I didn't say he was more popular than the ladies, but he's still very popular.
Also, those sales would have been because the third movie is retarded and nips had a love/hate relationship with it.

>>150836395
It would've made more sense, yeah. But Shinji's character is one step from female in several ways too. So they'd be kinda like /u/.
>>
>>150836467
You realize Kaworu's rescue of Shinji was voted the best scene of 2.0 in Khara pulls? Shinji rescue of Rei came second.

2.0 was popular because it had all characters and was positive ending feel, hyping people. 3.0 was depressing, made Rei a hollow shell and killed Kaworu again.

Still, 3.0 and 2.0 are the best sold BD of all time in Japan, third one is "This is it" by Michael Jackson. That's fucking insane.

Shinji was more masculine in NGE, his design is more boyish. Kaworu literally looks more feminine than any girl in Eva except Rei and Yui in NGE (who are about as feminine as he). His features are delicate and fair, while Asuka looks like a guy, Ritsuko looks like a drag queen and Misato has her moments at times. Kaworu was designed, in NGE, to be an 'ethereal beauty' that isn't linked to any gender specifically. In Rebuild he's more designed as typical bishounen while Shinji looks more trappish. I think this is the result of that Anima shit and I'm dreading next installment.

You and me both. I have no idea what to expect from this series anymore except angst and pain.
I just wanted Kaworu and Shinji to be happy together for longer than a few days
>>
>>150836768
I don't know about short light hair but the early 2000's had Yami to Boshi and Kannazuki Miko which popularized the long dark haired lesbian
>>
>>150836742
Hah, really? That worked out well for them then, in no way shape or form.

>Shinji was more masculine in NGE
He LITERALLY looks like Maya and Yui so you've lost me there completely. Kaworu only looks particularly feminine in certain instances, but his overall personality is your standard bishi so anything like that is particularly ruined there too. Either way, I don't understand your strong feelings for it.

>5 established, canonically gay characters
Wait, who? I dropped it, so I don't know about anyone except Ymir being a dyke.
>>
>>150836756
SnK is garbage and I dropped ever since the torture chapter where one of the characters were forced to eat his own shit, but I'm pretty sure Mikasa and Eren are still an item.
>>
>>150836756
>5 established, canonically gay characters
Ymir, and?
>>
>>150836768
Contrast. Long dark hair is frequently the "cool beauty" type and short light hair is the "cheerful cutie"
>>
>>150836768
It just is, just like in BL it's always a light haired dude with a dark haired dude
>>

Compared to Kaworu? Definitely not. Kaworu is all boy, from the way he stands to the way he interacts with people in the show. As soon as Kaworu comes around Shinji turns into a blushing, stammering mess which is more girly than anything.

Too bad he had to die because muh redemption

Ymir, Hissy, Reiner, Uri, and Kenny.

>>150836881
>Mikasa and Eren
>an item
>implying they ever were
Eren literally would rather eat his own shit then have to spend a day with Shitkasa. Eren was confirmed to not see her as anything but an obnoxious mother by the author himself.

Now Armin, on the other hand... I've taken the fujo glasses off and it looks the fucking same. Aka it's fucking gay. In one specific moment that comes to mind, Eren gives Armin the same exact look that Yuuri gave Viktor after Viktor kissed him. You don't look at your bros like that.

>>150836910
>>150836984
See above.
>>
>>150828081
I hope not. It's very fairy tale-ish and boring.

levi is breddy gay too but yama's comment about him sounded like a joke rather than fact

But didn't Reiner like Krista, or am I remembering wrong?

Is this fucking bait? Osomatsu isn't BL at all, the sextuplets are straight, bi at most. None of them are canonly gay at all, they wouldn't do that to an IP as popular as Osomatsu, plus the original creator is dead, so changing canon would trample over the original creator's work.

Gay jokes doesn't make a show BL you fucking autist.

>>150837425
The Matsus are all hovering somewhere between "would steal to afford a hooker" and "a cat is fine too"
>>
>>150837231
That was maybe a joke, but it seemed halfway serious.

>>150837278
That was Reiner's soldier persona.

>>150837333
Except he's made it consistent throughout the entire series that Eren does not see Mikasa as a potential romantic partner AT ALL, EMfag.
>>
>>150837441
He told Madoka movies didn't make banks like the series did. Obviously a lie.
>>
>>150837577
Who would Reiner even be gay with, didn't Bert die?
>>
>>150837425

What gave you that impression? They all seemed like really desperate straight guys to me.
>>

I'm pretty sure he was still calling her cute even after getting back to normal
>>
>>150837615
He can just wank over Bort's old undies or something.
>>
>>150837615
Nobody because he's a lonely faggot.

>>150837665
You can think of someone as cute without being attracted to them.
>>
>>150837625
>desperate
Not him but that's the thing, I could see them being okay with fucking a trap with a feminine penis in a no-homo way
Definitely wouldn't go for regular guys though, unless there's money involved
>>
>>150828081
I too can't wait for the 20k+ lesbian anime sellers come next year.
>>
>>150837603
Read the fucking comment, dumbass.

>>150837625
The matsus are desperate virgins, I can easily see them fucking a fairly feminine looking guy or even a trap if given a chance.

I'm the one who's right though. Yurifags like talking about rebellion whereas the vast majority of people think about the tv anime in regards to madoka.

He's a cool guy, with his flaws and weaknesses.
He deserves more attention as a successful example of the gay reveal being a relevant plot point, and the character's homosexuality actually being an important part of his persona, distinctly affecting his worldview and choices.

Aren't you confusing it with how passionate and impulsive Eren is in everything? Also, I do not think Armin is gay at all and neither is Eren. Do not try to force your homo headcanons in every manga.
