| Although the short summary for this anime suggests the unravelling of a huge mystery behind the characters, the anime is a hodge-podge of random funny situations the characters get themselves into. When the mystery is revealed, it's unbelievable and whipped off too quickly anyways. Aside from getting a good laugh here and there and watching cute anime guys, there isn't much going for this series except like most shounen anime, it has pretty good music.

| I think I must be the only person reviewing this post fansubs *lol* as I've just finished watching the 3 DVDs released by AnimeWorks. I really enjoyed watching this very sweet and at times, quite serious & intense, shounen-ai anime.

| Well I am a big fan of shonen-ai animes, and I really found this story quiet cute. The themes songs were great, they really got stuck in my head, and I really loved the way the charecters were drawn.
Although it did seam that the creator of the show was getting a bit lazy about creating newer looking charecters, I found that Sora looked like an awful lot like Sora from Kindom Hearts, and Fujimori Sunao's bangs looked like Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. Also they used the same hair style twice. Though personality of each charecter I found really cute.
The introduction was welly done. And humour was excellent. The ending was pretty sweet, I think it was a decent ending because it sumed up pretty much everything. The only I'd complain about was the fact that there were no girls and the middle got a bit confusing.
Over all, very cute, and I really loved it.

| Sukisyo is Maria Sama Ga Miteru but boys and way too direct and too much. I must admit that I am not a fan of shonen anime. This anime is too direct, imagine Kyo Kara Maou but with actually male-male confession, and love scenes-though nothing that is uncensored. For those who hate it but want to see it, you must not think the boys as boys. If they are girlish-then think it as girls, then perhaps you may be able to enjoy this anime. This may be the anime for gay people.

| Entirely too cutesy wutesy woo. Entirely too predictable. Entirely too annoying. Just what age-group had that been directed to?
When I started watching, I immidiately thought that the overly cute and constant chibi-scenes were more awkward than funny. It was like the story was grabbing me from the neck and yelling "it's chibis and they are being cute and funny. NOW LAUGH!". Honestly,
So what's it about?
A guy named Sora falls out of a window and his memory gets messed up. He get's a new roommate who happens to be his childhood friend and of course he doesn't remember him. The boy is called Sunao. Both of them have alternative personalities called Yoru and Ran. The story deals with trying to reveal Sora's past and seeing how the relationship develops between Sora and Sunao - who "dislike" eachother in the annoying "i really love you so i act like i hate you" kinda way - specially when their alteregos Yoru and Ran are totally in love. What happened in the past that was so painful, why did Sora fall out from the window, who the heck is Sunao anyway, what are Sora's friend's hiding from him?
In 12 episodes, there were entirely too many characters and trying to deal with them all just made the anime confusing. Specially when the story-telling jumped back and forth from cutesy wutesy woo chibis to seriousness like... every few minutes. Like the review I read about the series before watching it "once you think the chibis are just a bit too much, it changes into more serious story-telling, and when the angst is starting to become overwhelming, it goes back into the humour-mode" ( or so ). That is really not a good thing nesecarily. Fruits Basket managed this marvelously, Sukisyo didn't. It was just restless and hard to follow. Not to mention that more than once I was stunned by the sheer stupidity of the characters ( someone might call them plotholes... ). In the end, I felt like whole of that second personality stuff was pretty pointless, among many other things. They hardly supported or had anything to with the main plot.
It did jerk some laughter out of me ( but sometimes it wasn't because of the humour ) but most of the time I felt like banging my head to desk.

| The reason I watched this was because of the beautiful artwork. This anime does not have even 1 female in it, although some of the guys do look like females. The storyline is nothing impressive, it was trying to be dark, but not deep enough. There was not much character development, I think it's better that the story focused more on Sora and Nao's love story, rather than Aizawa's experiment, which I think is rather stupid. However I did enjoy this anime, fans of shounen-ai should watch this, because the artwork is really good!

| Maybe I should preface this by saying that I'm a big Gravitation fan. I measure just about every shounen-ai/yaoi title out there by that yardstick so I MAY be biased when I bemoan this anime's lack of believable plot (I mean, what's up with the three little kiddies when they were young living with the lab techs?) and the overuse of yaoi cliches (that uke Nanami looks far too much like a woman, a soft, houseiwifely, cooking sort of woman...if I wanted to watch that, I would be watching a het anime).
Still, this series has its merits in some really funny comedy moments that had me in stitches, and the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously. The angst is minimized (till the end where you drown in it) and there's lots of fun...even the implied sex bits are funny. My favourite scene is the morning after scene where the mains both reach for the salt at the same time...
Fun way to spend a Saturday morning, but by Monday you would probably have forgotten the names of half the cast (as I have). Some nice animation, especially of Sunao in the night scenes and as Ran...and good voicework overall. I reccommend this for a blast of light shonen-ai but I doubt it's going to become a classic inspiring rabid fandoms like Ai no Kusabi, Gravitation or Yami no Matsuei...

| I really enjoyed this anime, for many different reasons. #1 reason: It's such a cute shonen ai story! Lovely animation, cute characters that you can sympathize with, and a wonderfully convoluted plot.

| I just finished watching the show several hours ago and i think it's very good.
it starts a little stupid and unsure but around the middle it begins to pick up and the last episodes have excellent plot, alot of tension and so many twists you won't know where it came from.
the characters are cute and funny and in the end there's even some depth in the main couple. Sora and Nao (the main couple) are very very cute, i loved them. other characters are interesting but sometimes it feels like there are more characters than needed and some are there for no reason (i can name atleast 4 characters like that).
the animation in the first episode is very beautiful but in the rest is kind of bad. the music is nothing special or memorable.
i recommend the show to everyone who likes romance, maybe some comedy and definitely shounen ai.

| IF you like shounen-ai (boys love), some male cuteness, drama and relationships, Sukisyo is close to perfect. This review has been written from that standpoint. It has very little to give outside that target area, but I never felt an anime has to be suitable for everyone to be good. Sukisyo is very good, even excellent in its category, focusing on cuteness, humor and feelings. It is worth emphasizing that this is not a hentai anime. Also worth emphasizing is that if shounen-ai is not in your interest area, just skip Sukisyo alltogether. Tests have showed the first few minutes already causing panic on viewers outside the target audience. In the end, of the shounen-ai titles I'm aware of, Sukisyo is, in my opinion, without any doubt the best so far.

| *Just watched till eps 6*
It's like a male version of Azumanga Daioh, but this one has a plot.
This anime is based on Sukisyo games 1-3 (PC and Playstation 2) and the novels.
Now the review:
Animation:
So-so, nothing spectacular about the animation quality.
Sound:
There are nice BGM to support the atmosphere. For example when Matsuri appears, there's always that BGM that gives a comical atmosphere. I like the OP (Just a Survivor) and the famous seiyuus give their best.
Story:
I will put this later on.
Character:
Yoru is trapped in Sora's body, while Ran is inside Sunao's body. Moreover, Sunao and Sora loves each other, as well as Yoru and Ran. Nanami and Shinichiro act as protective siblings/surrogate parents, and Matsuri loves to tease both Sora and Sunao, ask them to run errands, and play matchmaking.
There are a lot of cute chibis and expressions and that's the strength of this anime.
Value;
It's worth watching.
Enjoyment:
I really enjoy watching this anime. It's not boring, I watched all 6 episodes at once and still not feeling tired.

| An all-boy answer to "Mariasama ga Miteru" (perhaps crossed with Spiral and Azumanga Daiho), Sukisyo, as it is also known, leaves me indifferent about a few episodes.
Since there is so much shoujo-ai around, I thought I'd try watching some shonen-ai... Well, it was interesting to observe where these two styles converge and diverge. Foreseeably, there is more violence in shonen-ai relationships and less over-analysing of what others might be thinking.

| Despite the lower rating for this anime, I have to say I'm enjoying this anime quite a bit.
ANIMATION
The animation is nothing spectacular- about average, although the art is quite nice.
SOUND
Nor is the music anything to get really hooked on, I think, but it's still worth listening to.
STORY
I can't exactly rate the story because I'm only on the 7th episode. But I can say the general idea of the story- two boys possessing an inner self within them that are in love- is quite original. I'm hoping this anime will unveil more of the story later on!
CHARACTERS
Characters are rather cliche, but you'd expect that in a shounen-ai anime. I've yet to see a yaoi or shounen-ai anime that doesn't follow the dommy-subby pattern.
VALUE
It's a semi-keeper ^_^
ENJOYMENT
Lately there's been so much deep and/or killy anime, it's a good break from all that. It's not stupid either, and has some plot to keep you interested on top of the relationship sub-plots going on in the story.

| This anime is a must-see for people who like shonen-ai stuff. The story is very interesting.
This anime is definately for Girls. Why? Well...
1) takes place in an all guys school
2) not one single girl in site
3) male and male homosexual relationships
4) males who act feminine
(Don't think guys would feel comfortable watching #3 and #4)
The story is very serious and also comical. There are so many things that you still don't know about the anime but it gives you pieces bit by bit in each episode. But I didn't get it a perfect 10 because things seemed to move too fast at the end of the series. It was a little bit disappointing.
The animation was very clean and not too detailed. It was great up until ep. 9 or 10. The angles of the characters drawn were a bit sketchy.
The characters are so adorable. They are drawn so nicely.
I love it when they change into their chibi forms. The hair is really awesome. Especially Sunao's hair.
Voice actors are great. They definitely suit their characters. Really surprised how well they made their voices more feminine then usual.
Awesome Ending and Opening song. They create a good mood for the anime.

| Note: This anime is also called "Sukisyo" by fansubbers.
This is a very good anime simply for originality. There aren't many tasteful shounen ai out there. The subject of homosexuality is still very sensitive with many. However...
The animation is fluid, the colors bright and the lines clear and simplistic. The sound is clear, the openings and endings pleasing, although not really what I'd consider "awesome". The characters are all *very* unique. There are large doses of chibi humor, which I like. In addition to animating male-male relationships in a mature and understanding way, the plot is *so far* excellent, with light episodal action (currently no conflict), and overtones into a deeper, more interesting plot to come.
All in all I say this was a tasteful, well-made step into a controversial area. Very entertaining, and I look forward to finishing the rest of the series.

| Time to add some yaoi!fangirl love to this anime. ^^ This anime rocks so hard. Personally, I'm sure that guys won't find this anime half as enjoyable as an avid fangirl will, but THEY SHOULDN'T WATCH IT (duh) I think this anime is more for people who are into yaoi stuff (tee hee hee ^^;;; like me and a HELL of a lot of other people if they're making an anime about it. =p) It's a really good and interesting story so far, plus it has enough fan service to make even the most un-expressive fangirl giggle.

| * Not really appropriate for younger eyes. I think over 13 would be a good idea. Young kiddos might think boys going *near* boys is okay o_O
To tell the truth, this isn't for me >_>'' It's weird. Do they really show this in japan ?_? It has pretty intense shounen ai plot in it. Being an avid fan of anything that's anime or manga, i already pretty much know what is going to happen in the anime, provided they follow the manga closely.
Anime first episode has shown me the strength of the 2005 drawings. Very clean and sharp, very nice.(don't get why it's not crisp and clear) I would love to call it beautiful, but... i'm a guy. How do you expect me to swallow this -.-
Ok. 8/10 Just because it looks cool. But the long hair is disturbing.
From the start of this show, i bet it gets worse than kyo kara maou (spelling?) shounen ai hints... Therefore not for guys at all. Unless you are so pure minded, and purely wants to look for comedy (purely like make fun of guys liking guys. Probably -_-').
I think the actors are not bad, pleasant to hear etc. Not really outstanding ending song.
Story revolves around the two boys, romance and comedy based. (romance between two boys... -_-') There is some dark aspect to the "Ran" character, which is a plot to other things, etc.
Should you follow the story? If you are looking for plots that have action, nope.
Looking for some epic twists and turns, I don think so.
If you are looking for comedy, it could pass off as one. Somewhat. It uses very heavy cute expressions..
If you are looking for unique anime which involves two boys romance story *-_-''', by all means go ahead.
I *have* given ample warning about this story genre.
Kyuubi out.
PS: Note the facial expression. This is a result from watching this anime. Be warned! Cute faces might be irresistable to make these stupid faces!!!!!!
Edit: Due to certain standard, i changed animation to 8.

| If I'm not wrong, this is def a yaoi game. Saw the first few episodes and must say that although the animation is not that crisp and clear, it is a very nice anime to watch. It's one of those shows where even 'females' are really males..well mostly anyway.
There is a similarity to Gravitation, which I can't exactly place. Some are lecherous and there are enough yaoi hints to make the hardcore fangirl squeal. The script is nice and there are several points that make me laugh out loud (for me at least).
The characters are really cute. They have their little idiosyncrasies and morph into their cute chibi forms.
The storyline is unclear at the moment but it seems that there is more than meet the eye with one of the main characters having dual personality and the other who can't remember what happen after falling off the window.
