My oldest daughter recently returned from Japanese camp and now we are both eagerly watching the Gravitation anime series which I was quite happy to find at Otakon this year. I’ve always enjoyed the weirdness of my life in general, so it is with a great deal of pleasure that I find myself watching a romantic comedy anime that involves two guys with my teenage daughter. We both happened upon Gravitation by way of the monthly New Type USA DVD. I was a bit shocked that a shonen ai story would be included on the disk, but Gravitation is really that good and once you get past the boy meets boy aspect of it, you can take it for what it is, one of the best romantic comedies you’ll find anywhere, anime or live action!
Once we finish the watching the anime, I’m going to borrow my daughter’s manga too. I’ve only read the first two volumes so far and started the novel. And with so many crazy outfits, I think there may be a Shuichi cosplay in the future! Oh, and did I mention that the music is great too! I heard the opening theme, Super Drive on the J-Pop CD, long before I knew anything about the Gravitation anime. Great story, characters, and music, I’m totally sold! And being able to enjoy it with my daughter puts me in the double bonus!
