This list has the top 10 best yaoi anime for you to binge. These anime have some of the best animations, storylines and guy-on-guy action!
You know it, you love it, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you should probably get on that. As an anime about figure skaters, you might expect a yaoi love story, but I remember when it first came out and people couldn’t decide if it was going to cross that line or not. It did and the world went crazy. The animation of the figure skating could use some work, but the sexual tension in Yuri on Ice makes it always worth the watch.
Whether it was the low-energy slice-of-life, the simplistic animation, or the soothing acoustic music in most of the scenes, Classmate is an interesting coming-of-age yaoi anime to see.
This is a sensitive topic for some, even fans of Japanese animation still have that boundary set between yaoi anime and the other genres. So, such is the case too even in Chinese animation where censorship is rampant. To a culture where LGBT issues are still not openly accepted in the public, it is amazing that the boys-love story still thrives.
What’s even more amazing is that I hadn’t seen so many haters of Chinese bl anime or danmei among its local audiences compared to the Japanese animation where yaoi anime are often subject to the scrutiny of the highly masculine shounen-genre fans that is dominating the anime community in terms of numbers. So far, I only see love and support for boys-love donghua on the internet from donghua fans both local and international.
I understand that in the six episodes it was very hard to make a lasting impact but they definitely could have improved the situation. I don’t think the direction would have improved with more episodes. From what I saw it was unorganized and I understand that this was a new thing. This was a new step and mistakes were destined to be made. The art is great but that doesn’t make it any less boring. I think the cute moments that yaoi fans loved this animation for just didn’t cut it. I didn’t see anyone talking about anything other than how beautiful it was and how adorable it was and how beautiful the graphics were.
