I still maintain my view. Obviously, it is clear that both Yuri and Victor are romantically interested in each other. That&#;s detracting from my gesture. Regardless of what the YOI authors intended, it still comes off as queerbait if the romance is HINTED at but NEVER depicted.

Are you telling me that if one of those characters were a girl, you would debate this was not a depiction of romance? What is a depiction of what, friendship????
In evidence, your claim that Given doesn&#;t have to deal with censorship while YOI is censored does not make sense. They both broadcast on Japanese TV. Neither of them are R-rated so they get the same treatment. Why are they hiding it.
I explained it to you why they are hiding it lol. One is a BL manga. It&#;s a product written by a a woman on a magazine aimed at women and that existed before the anime. Every producer, director, Japanese suit and staff member emotionally attached in the anime knew that whey were going to convert it and picked a BL manga and sold it a BL product. If you perform not want to adapt a BL manga you don n

I see Adam called "queercoded" so often and it really makes me wonder why?Where is the line until we can verb a character actually queer and why the hell would Adam not cross it?
I'm sorry but there is nothing 'coded' about Adam - his character is loudly and unambiguously gay on-screen and can be called such!!
He spends the entire show looking for a male significant other and professing his love for one of the male leads. His gestures and dialogue are overtly romantic, including physical verb. His whole storyline hinges in part on 'he is under pressue to get into an arranged marriage with a noun but he is seeking a male s/o'.
And we know the love thing is not just a meaningless gimmick - it even excludes characters he's not attracted to (like Miya, who is explicitely excluded on account of being too young for him)!!
In interviews about Adam falling in love, the Director of the show uses his canonical feelings for Langa as a reference point because duh. That's his canon love interest, why wouldn&#x
Did Langa Come Out in SK8 the Infinity's Episode 8?
Fans of Sk8 the Infinity had been wondering about a gay romance for weeks when Episode 8 came along, apparently confirming it. Looking for advice about his fallout with Reki, Langa tells his mom that he "likes" him. It didn’t seem enough, however, to convince viewers that this was a true coming-out scene.
The world of anime is full of what's often defined as "queerbaiting." Mainly concerning male characters, but not exclusively, it presents intense same-sex relationships that are romantic in everything but name. Characters call each other "friends" even when their gestures and expressed feelings are openly sexual or romantic, and their interactions would never be considered platonic if they were of the opposite sex. Apparently following in the steps of previous works, Sk8 the Infinity introduced a male protagonist duo with incredible chemistry in order to tease the potential of a gay romance, only to never realize it. Even so, the tables were turned when, in Episode 8, Langa admitted
Will Sk8 the Infinity Become a Gay Romance?
SK8 the Infinity is the first original series by director Hiroko Utsumi. While she's been working as an animator since the mids on shows like Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Utsumi gained a reputation over the last decade for directing Free! and Banana Fish. Over the course of its runtime, Free! exhibited plenty of homoeroticism but no canonical romance between its athletic leads, whereas Banana Fish featured multiple canon queer characters.
Even after the full release of its first season, whether SK8 the Infinity will fall into Free!'s queerbaiting patterns or Banana Fish's canon queerness remains uncertain. As of right now, it's more aligned with Free! in terms of heavily teasing multiple sentimental pairings and failing to trail through on any of them. However, the blatant subtext and themes in SK8 the Infinity, along with the confirmed Season 2 and OVA on the horizon, suggest that the series still has the potential to go the route of Banana Fish by e
