Well I am a shonen-ai/yaoi fan, so I enjoyed this. However since it was only 2 episodes and each only half an hour long, it wasn't that strong of a story. I felt like the tried to rush the story. I mean the manga has 10 volumes (still in the making as well) so I guess this was rushed and not enough info, but still a pretty good job for only 2 episodes.
Animation: Well the animation I find is really good. I like the way they were drawn, and this was made in 2005, so I did expect the animation to be good.
Sound: I think the voice for each character was picked out perfectly for each role. And I was surprised there was a theme song, which was also pretty good, but it was surprising because many of the animes that I have seen with less than 4 episodes don't usually have a theme song.
I think this anime had the potential to be a really good anime, but since they made it b4 the manga was done, I guess they rushed it. Not a very good practice. But I still fairly enjoyed it ^^.

| I rather enjoyed this 2 part OVA, it had a nice "fresh" feel to it. The storyline is pretty lame (I shall have to find the manga to read) and really it was nothing more than "gay" soft porn, but thoroughly enjoyable none-the-less ^_^

| I really enjoyed taking the time to wait for the fansubs to download. However, unless you want to pull out your hair while watching OVA 1, I'd suggest that you watch the OVA before the manga. Not much is spoiled, as the manga goes a lot deeper. That's my two cents. Worth my while.

| It's been years, YEARS since any anime has been able to get me into full fledged "fangirl" mode, where I'm squealing insanely at anything and everything the characters do. That being said, OAV 1 was weak, very weak. I had read the first volume of the manga, of which the first awful OAV is based off of. In the manga, what was the blossomings of a true romance was turned into an awful 30 minutes of OAV, leaving out any of the characters personality in favour of gratutitous non-graphic sex sequences. I was very annoyed after viewing it, wondering if the producers really thought they were going to please the manga fans with that mess. Myself, only sort of a fan, I was very skeptical about the next OAV, and honestly, if it went past 2 OAVs, I would have not bothered with it any longer.
So thank god that OAV 2 changed everything. Because I had a pre-existing attachment to Iwaki-san and Katou-san, OAV 2 was extremely touching. Even for people who haven't read the manga, just because their relationship is homosexual, the trials their love is put through are extremely difficult. The speech around the end was one of, if not THE, best I have ever heard in any anime. Perhaps because I have not read the manga for the OAV, I couldn't compare how superior the manga was, but the quality of part two is still light years about that of volume 1.
So while OAV 1 was vapid, OAV 2 brought it home. My recommendation? If you are a fan of the manga, of course you'll be greatful to see your boys walking, even if in OAV 1 the removal of all things that made the manga so appealing are removed. If you're a anyone else, it's so short, and OAV 2 is THAT enjoyable that it removes almost any effects of the first part. if you like yaoi, you WON'T be asking for your hour back.

| Honestly, after watching the first part of the ova, I was blown away.
First off, the animation, in comparison to the old yaoi anime, is beautiful. I mean, I love Ai no Kusabi, Kaze to ki no uta, and Legend of the Blue Wolves, but this is a breath of fresh air.
The characters, in my opinion, were amazing. Both of the main character's were handsome, and Yukihito, another character's lover, was drool-worthy. But, to be less superficial, both of the main characters had real emotions and problems, very humane. And...a very real sex drive.
All in all, this is probably my favorite /yaoi/ OVA out there. -Purrs- Nice animation, sex, and characters. What more could I ask for?

| Minna san, Have you seen other Yaoi anime before? I am just glad to have found a Yaoi anime that has a fresh clean upto date animation.Beautifuly drawn men :D.
Pretty good sound.Very well done voice overs.I love those voices.Those two are my favorites.They really made the characters alive.
Story is so so not as intense as Kizuma but the characters are so appealing.What can I say , I have a weakness for beautifuly and handsomely
drawn men.
I really like this one.Cant wait for the next one.

| This is so ghey.. there I said the corny part.
First off this ain't just 'yaoi' this is pure gay people life involving career, sex and feelings. Lots of sex to be precise, as the two gay characters are also actors who used to be male gay porn stars or something. Straight from Bravo! channel :)
I'm saying this to save you trouble of downloading or being disturbed by watching it.
In couple of scenes (while acting on the set) the blonde guy sticks his shlong up Iwaki's arse and he ends up being pissed. This ain't hentai shit either, the bedsheets take care of exposure.
It's too bad if the producers expect gay audience to be more sophisticated since I wish they're this serious about regular anime.
So, in short, this is a well-done social drama involving gay people in the show-biz.
