A Must-Have Series If you are hesitating or are on the fence about buying this series, DON'T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE! Gravitation is the Platinum standard of shounen-ai and is a fantastic anime series period. While the manga is sensational and at times edge-of-your-seat suspenseful, the anime series is just as gripping, and the characters are rich, colorful, and beautiful. Seeing everyone's favorite sullen novelist Eiri Yuki in full color animation is well worth the purchase, but that's just the icing on a sweet, sweet cake.
The songs are great of course, and the English voice cast is actually more than just tolerable -- they do a really good job. The box itself makes for a beautiful display, and each of the 4 disc cases features a bold, colorful, sexy rendition of Shuichi and Eiri. The extra features are fun and informative, especially the liner notes which detail certain specific details in some episodes that may be missed or confusing.
The few love/kissing scenes are extremely tame -- hence the shounen-ai label and not yaoi -- but sweet nonetheless. There are mushy, "awwwww"-inspiring moments for those that like that, funny moments, guns, laughs, cries, and everything in-between. There's something for everyone. Even my hard-core action anime-loving friends enjoy Gravitation. There's just something about it that hooks you in and won't let go...
All in all, this is one of my favorite anime series of all times, and is one of the most beautiful dvd boxsets I've ever owned. While you may be able to find it less expensive on another site, BUY IT. You will NOT be disappointed. After all, It's...Gravitation...
Gravitation! I love it! Totally awesome series, especially if you are a fan of music and shounen-ai. Very strong story and entertainment galore!
Amazing! One of the Best Animes Ever Made! OKay I admit it this is my first same sex anime, and what first got my attection was the music theme. But I can honestly say this is one of the best animes I have ever seen in my life. (I'm kinda sad I didn't discovered it sooner.) Now if you have any problems with same sex coupling simple, don't watch. But IMO when it comes down to it Gravitation is just a great powerful love story. It's what I love about anime it's FUNNY and then you might find yourself sad and heartbroken for the charcthers. The three main guys are just down right eye candy. Shuichi is just so likeable with some of the cutest faces and Yuki is just breathtaking in looks. And you really feel for him, for both of them. Then the music is some of if not the best japanese rock music I have ever heard! (You might want to get the soundtracks after hearing.) The English dub is one of the best ever! Bravo to the cast! Espically IMO Shuichi and Yuki's VA's. Anyway I LOVED the series (I couldn't stop watching) and was sad when it ended. I'm so proud to call myself a fan and I feel this anime deserves more then 5 stars! ^_^
Good Series, Horrible Subtitles Though the series is absolutely wonderful, the subtitles aren't. If you get the series, definitely get the English version, so that you won't have to deal with bad grammar, misused words, and confusion. English version is excellent!
Gravitation TV Series This is a fantastic set and has some fun extra features. It has all the episodes and the language settings are easy to access. However, the set doesn't include the OVAs. However, the show is adorable and the translations are quite good. A big thumbs up from me.
