   My opinion on...
I'm in such a good mood! The sun is shining and the breeze is perfect! Anyway... to get to the point... I was recently reading a heated debate on a message board about Shonen-ai, Shoujo-ai, Yaoi and Yuri. So, here's my take on the subject.

I don't watch a show BECAUSE it's shonen-ai or whatever, but if a show with good plot, characters, etc is shonen-ai... Cool!

I like shonen-ai because I just do. There's just something so tragic about a shonen-ai romance. It also adds some romantic tension because often times the characters who end up together start out swearing they aren't gay.

Who could deny that it was adorable when Hisoka asked Tsusuki to stay by his side forever in Yami no Matsuei? That's the kind of thing that makes you cry!

I also like shonen-ai fanfics... with exceptions. If you set up two people who do love eachother (ex- Subaru and Seishiro from X)... Great!
If you set up two people who could be together under certain circumstances (ex- gundam pilots, kai and rei from beyblade)... good!
But if you put two people together who just don't fit (ex- Inuyasha and Miroku... I've seen it!)... not so good.

I'm not saying you can't... It's just that I don't care to read fics like that because I like it when writers keep them in character (unless it's for obvious humor). It is not in Inuyasha's character to love Miroku like that.

But it's not just because it's two guys. I don't think Sango and Inuyasha work either.

As for Shoujo-ai... I haven't seen much. Tomoyo loves Sakura in Carcaptor Sakura, but Tomoyo is content with just seeing Sakura happy. Nothing comes of her feelings besides Sakura's outfits.

I do support Michiru and Haruka from Sailor Moon. The dubbing... the horrible dubbing that made them cousins... If Sailor Moon's creator made them a couple they should be a couple! Just leave them be!

As for Yaoi and Yuri... I'm not into hard core stuff. I'm not really into hentai of any kind. I just don't get off on that. That's just me I suppose.

So! Those are my opinions!
