We rented a disk of Gravitation on a whim and were pleased to see that it was a really great show.  We ended up buying and watching all five disks that weekend and have been obsessed ever since.  It really is the series that never ends, because even though the anime has ended, there is still much more to keep us interested.

Gravitation was about a young man named Shuichi Shindou who was trying to get his band, Bad Luck, off the ground.  In the process of doing this, he met a man named Eiri Yuki, and fell hopelessly in love with him.  The 13 episode show followed Shuichi's dreams of becoming a rock star and his relationship with Yuki.  There are 2 OVAs that took place after the series ended, although they were made before the series.  The anime is based on the 12 volume manga series by Maki Murakami.  There are also 2 novels and a manga series called Graviation EX continuing the story.  This is a boy's love anime, and the relationship was really well done and sweet.

The best part about the show?  Yuki and Shuichi's relationship, Ryuichi, the characterization, the music, the humor, the story, Kumagoro, Shuichi's costumes, Mr. K, the voice acting...  Pretty much everything.  The show was just really, really well done and although it was basically a comedy, it had many serious moments throughout to keep it well balanced.

It was too short!  However, since it is based on a multi-volume manga, there is a lot more to the story than just the anime.  In fact, the manga goes much further into the character development and contains many important scenes that were not included in the episodes.

It didn't.

Shuichi and Ryuichi playing tag, Shuichi telling (or not telling) Hiro about his first night with Yuki, Shuichi and Ryuichi's cosplay outfits, K's obsession with his guns, Yuki and Shuichi's date at the amusement park, Bad Luck on Quiz and Pop, when Hiro and Shuichi made up and became friends again, when Shuichi and Tatsuha were watching the Nittle Grasper video, and when Shuichi declared his love for Yuki on stage.

Shuchi, Yuki, Ryuichi, and K.  Shuichi is adorable and we really can't see how anybody couldn't love him.  He was actually a very complex character, although it wouldn't seem like it at first, and it was fun watching his crazy journey throughout the show.  Yuki is a very deep and conflicted character who's backstory was not as contrived as would be expected based on his initial demeanor.  Ryuichi is also very complex and is truly a unique character.  K is awesome and a very different character as well.  All of the characters were much more developed in the manga, but they were still very good in the show too.
