EP 4
Hey everyone~it’s Chelsea! Welcome to another podcast on “The Weeb Heartbeat”.
Today I’m going to be discussing YAOI, which is pretty controversial and if I have any heterosexual male listeners, you probably don’t want to hear about this, but who knows? My top three favorites are Yuri on Ice, Junjo Romantica, and Dakaichi. Hunter x Hunter has subtle vibes from Hisoka and Illumi, but definitely not as blatant and obvious as the three aforementioned, otherwise it would be number one. Super Lovers and OPM Puri Puri Prisoner did not make the cut, but are still loved. I hate to admit it, but I guess I’m a mild Fujoshi.
Number three on my list is Dakaichi. It’s about the veteran actor and most desirable bachelor for 5 years in a row, Takato Saijyo, and the up and coming actor who recently dethroned him, Junta Azumaya. The two most desirable bachelors in a scandal. Exciting!!! There are WAyyy too many cute scenes. You might get a nosebleed. In America, it would be like Harry Styles and Noah Centineo or Harry Styles and Brandon Urie. This is actually a really horrible comparison so never mind. Issajoke. Please don’t sue me.
Number 2 is Junjou---, which follows the story of three couples, but Misaki Takahashi and Akihiko Usami are at the forefront of the anime. This couple is like those korean dramas, or kdramas, where a chaebol rich guy falls in love with a poor girl who’s bad at school except Misaki is a boy and Usami is a wealthy author. Still, Usami comes from a prestigious family and has basically everything; a red sports car, lots of toys, lots of fun. The anime has gotten a bad rap on other podcasts, but I really like it. I think it’s really humorous. You might not like it because Usami can be jealous and aggressive, but some people think that’s hot AKA MOIII.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE NUMBER ONE IS Yuri On Ice. YOI is a sports-genre anime that follows the 23 year old Japanese figure skater Yuri Katsuki after he returns home from a crushing defeat in the Grand Prix Final and other competition losses. However, he perfectly mimics an advanced skating routine by his skating idol, Victor Nikiforov...I CANNOT PRONOUNCE HIS LAST NAME. A video of Yuri’s performance goes viral on Youtube and catches Victor’s attention, who decides to coach Yuri and revive his skating career. They mayyyy begin to fall in love and...you’ll have to watch to find out more! The art is 10 out of 10 and breathtakingly beautiful. The skating routines and their costumes will make your little weeb hearts go doki-doki. I especially love underdog-success stories like this one. It’s also why I like Naruto and Tower of God. I think this was one of my first YAO animes so it’s a dangerous gateway one haha.
What are your guys’ thoughts on this? Please let me know. That’s it for now. Thank you for joining me today and hope you all have a wonderful week
