Hi guys!

Just wanted to know whether any of you guys know what "shounen ai" is. Some people like 'em, some people loathe 'em. I'm writing an essay about it and I kind of wanted to know what you guys think about it.:-/

Any type of reaction'll do.
Personally for me, I kind of find it cute.
The basic info goes like this:
"shounen ai" is a genre of japanese animation which focuses entirely on relationships between two boys. You can see some pictures of shounen ai anime's "Silver Chaos" and "Private School" below.

Please don't flame me for this one.
I've heard some people totally loathe shounen ai (actually, anime altogether) to the core. Smile
