What was your first Yaoi/Shounen Ai anime that got you into the genre?

Mine was Gakuen Heaven back on 2010! Fell in love with Kazuki instantly haha. Was all down (realistically up LOL) hill from there

Gakuen Heaven is both amusing and cute! <3 I think my first yaoi was Junjou Romantica. Though, it was so long ago I don’t remember which one I watched first. Especially since I watched several that a friend suggested to me within a short period.

I went the Sekaiichi Hatsukoi route after Gakuen Heaven then ran into Junjou Romantica! I never had anybody recommend me anything after so I had to go searching. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled on Sensitive Pornograph haha

Actually, I came across one of the first ones I watched very recently. Ai no Kusabi. It is on the darker side, but it is still an interesting BL anime.

I remember seeing this one before it got a rerelease but was pretty jarring to look at on just a visual aspect. Never got a chance to watch the 2012 version so I may give it a chance when I’m caught up on everything else I’m watching!

Unfortunately, the 2012 version is incomplete, so I’ll have to look up the original version to watch again. Though, I have found some books that were made of the series, which I intend to collect when I am able. I personally enjoyed the artwork, but I understand what you mean. I’ve had a few anime I’ve tried to watch that I just couldn’t because of the art style used.

My first Yaoi anime was Gravitation. I was in love instantly and would only watch the original Japanese dub. I was an elitist from the beginning lol :smile:
