Editorial Review: The broadcast series Loveless (2005) has provoked arguments among fans over whether it should be considered a shounen-ai (boy-love) program. Ritsuka is an alienated sixth grader: his older brother Seimei died under mysterious circumstances; his mother is prone to irrational, violent rages. Two years ago, Ritsuka underwent a change he doesn't understand that's left him unsure of his own existence. Soubi, a mysterious college student, appears and announces he loves Ritsuka and will do anything for him--and that he knows how and why Seimei was killed. With Soubi as his protector, Ritsuka enters a supernatural battle against the forces of the sinister Septimal Moon. Loveless is an odd program that plays like a skewed mixture of X and Gravitation. Ritsuka and Soubi look like standard bishonen (beautiful boys)--except Ritsuka sports a cat's ears and tail; all the children in the series do. The handsome backgrounds suggest watercolors and woodblock prints, but the story taking place in front of them makes little sense. Although it's not a typical yaoi romance, Loveless does contain gay themes that may offend some viewers. (Rated 16 and older: violence, tobacco use, suggested homosexuality) --Charles Solomon
Ritsuka Aoyagi is a sixth-grader who's troubled by the loss of his older brother. One day he meets a mysterious man who claims to have fought alongside his brother. His name is Sobi Agatsuma who wants Ritsuka to become his new sacrifice since his brother died. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM UPC: 631595061376 Manufacturer No: AWDVD0613

Rating: - Good-but a lie!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best animes I have ever watched but it is NOT in English or even have English dialogue as an option. You can only only use English subtitles, which is fine with me, but I know that it bothers some people so I thought I should warn you. If you don't mind subtitles though this is an excellent DVD to buy; it's worth your money.
Rating: - WATCH THIS IMMEDIATELY!
My favorite anime/yaoi of all time. The artwork, characters, storyline, music and cast is all PERFECT and of the HIGHEST QUALITY I've ever seen. YOU WILL LOVE IT. I could go on for ages about how great Loveless is, but I won't. Just WATCH IT ASAP and learn for yourself!
Rating: - Anime great, the package not so much.
The anime has a lovely style. It's beautiful in the terms of 3D animation and design.
But, unfortunately, for those who do not know the *****, it may not be very fulfilling, since it serves more as an introduction. Also, some might be a little bored, since the anime goes exactly like the *****, even having so of the same shots in it. Personally, it does not bother me, but i know it might be annoying to some people.
Yet, i think if You liked the *****, the anime is also worth it, even ... Read More
Rating: - Great series... Not for everyone
Loveless is a great buy for its awesome battle sequences, its original and unique battle style, and its pretty animation. It also touts a great buy for psychology-anime fans (i.e. Neon Genesis Evangelion). On the other hand, there are very strong inferences of a non-platonic relationship between the main characters that would be considered statutory rape in the US. Also, there is a lot of angst on the part of Aoyagi Ritsuka, and it is implied that he was previoulsy abused by his parents, and possibly ... Read More
