Loveless

well, thank you for this. I mean it this was wonderful.
Loveless has probably the cutest main character i've seen so far, Ritsuka, who's a tragic lost soul since his brother died in a fire at school and his mother as gone crazy and beats him for not being his brother. Then just when life can't get much worse, a strange man appears and tells Ritsuka that he loves him. Things get stranger when, as Ritsuka comes to terms with the fact that he's not alone anymore, another couple find them in the park and demand to fight them. The man, Soubi, agrees and they are transported to another plane where words are magical and while he is the attacker, Ritsuka is his sacrifice who will feel the pain if the other couples attacker lands a hit. But Soubi is too strong and nearly destroys the other mans sacrifice, until Ritsuka tells him not do.
Soubi promises to do anything Ritsuka tells him to, and that he will never abandon him. But Ritsuka soon figures out that Soubi knows more about his brothers death than he's telling him but as soon as he asks him about it, Soubi will say nothing.
It's not until Soubi is attacked and refuses to tell the attacker of Ritsukas whereabouts and is then left for dead that Ritsuka sees that he loves Soubi too.
This was a really sweet anime which was also very serious, not duelling on the fact that the two characters are both men and it's nice to see a show which doesn't market itself on 'look at me i'm different i'm gay, how new and exciting!', you know?
8 out of 10 (but more for this AMV i found)
