Watching slashy anime is probably NOT the answer to a pounding headache.
Especially the kind that smacks at the side of the head with an ice pick. But I have to watch it. I have to find a better quality video but right now I’m not picky because, well, smoking-hot-demon-boy. It’s Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru (The Betrayal Knows My Name) and frankly, after getting a link in my inbox and there’s action and cute and fluff and adorable orphans and GAH. I’m not entirely positive I’ve seen so much non-pairing FLUFF in a light yaoi before.
Let’s start with the fact that our main male lead, Yuki is a pretty boy who in a past life was a girl and the lover of this high-level demon, and now that he’s reincarnated as a man—well, his lover doesn’t really mind even though Yuki-kun/chan *depending on who’s talking to/about him* has no idea what’s going on.
I’m only an episode and a half in and I can only find shoddy Youtube rips, but considering the price on Amazon I can’t afford it right now. Plus I can’t tell if the version they have is subbed. (And there’s even a drama CD but I can’t understand the language. LOL. I’m still tempted. Luka is pretty hot sounding.)
Back to the Youtuebs.

I'm not sure if crunchyroll works for you but it does have subbed episodes.
(Luka is Cloud's seiyuu by the way. And yes, Sakurai does know how to sound delightfully hot...)
I can't believe I'm already fangirling.
Ah, what the hell. Go big or go home. PASS THE SAKE.
YAY LOOK HOW SHINY CRUNCHYROLL IS. I watch there now because it won't blow up my head. No one needs the ice pick shrapnel.
I'll keep a running tally on events in case you want a proxy to vet the show…I am hooked because THE A'DAWWABLE KIDS ARE LIKE CRACK. But then the hot boys show up and there's incentive there too. XD
When you find a special anime...
(1) Take a shot everytime Hoshi is sweet and gentle
(2) Take a shot everytime Ishida is sweet and gentle
(3) Take a shot everytime one of them pulls wibble voice (Hoshi did it as Goku in Saiyuki and Kira in Gundam SEED, Ishida did it as chibi!Gaara in Naruto)
(4) Take a shot everytime one of them tries to kill the other (this also happens way too often...)
(5) Take TWO shots if BOTH of them are trying to kill the other
I'm already trying to watch episode 1 again... I wish Ishida wasn't using such a dull voice for this (he's used worse but it doesn't have quite the *sparkle* of some of his other roles) but at least Hoshi, Sakurai and Fukuyama are sounding great which is a plus. (I really shouldn't be classifying their voices by their uke or seme types though...)
ACTIONY STUFF JUST STARTED =D
There's no guarantee we wouldn't add things on a sugar high.
For instance:
—Take a drink whenever a Big Damn Heroes moment occurs. Add another drink when there's more than one Big Damn Hero in the moment.
LOLOLOL. EDIT: "Melon bread?!"

I'd get to the point where I'd add downright stupid things either out of seiyuu dorkiness or simply because I've got a funny feeling the anime will go that way. So if I say "Take a shot everytime Takahiro Sakurai sounds like he's going to cough out a furball" that might actually come into play.
Also I am playing a game of spot the seiyuu since I've heard enough of most of them to have a vague idea of recognition. I think I heard Miki just now but I could be dead wrong. I already have the literal version thanks to saving this and this from seiyuu pages on tumblr. (I love how Sakurai is determined to look a complete and total dork in all these pictures. Makes the sexy delivery of his performance all the more WTF. Though I'm surprised Hoshi isn't in the second picture. Without him Ishida looks even shorter than usual!)
So many NICE HATS.
It couldn't be worse than Drinking DDR.
1: take a drink when you fail a song.
2: Take a drink when your buddy passes a song that you bet he couldn't.
3: take a drink when you make a grade higher than C.
4: Take a drink when you make your first A. And your buddies have to start picking your songs now.
5: EVERYONE takes a drink when you complete a request.
You are exempt from taking a drink if you fall off the mat. But you must select a song for your buddy. EVERYONE takes a drink when they finish.

TAKE A SHOT EVERYTIME YOU'VE NEGLECTED TO CONTINUE THE VIDEO BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY INVENTING NEW THINGS TO TAKE A SHOT TO! :D
Also, Mont, down in front!
DOWN KITTEH!
Re: ACTIONY STUFF JUST STARTED =D
Also we should totally make a role association synopsis of this.
mmm, anpan.
HAVE AN ABSINTHE SHOT, THAT'S AT LEAST THREE IN ONE SHOT!
Re: mmm, anpan.
TAKE A SHOT EVERYTIME YOU THINK "HEY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T DO BL ANYMORE!" (Hoshi, Ishida and Sakurai all quit from it a few years ago. Probably because they were always being cast as ukes...)
Re: mmm, anpan.
LOL!
GIMME SOME SEME?
*Shot*
Re: mmm, anpan.
Well I know Ishida was getting a few seme roles here and there towards the last few parts of his BL career but as we know he has a naturally soft voice so of course he got cast as ukes a lot. Sakurai and Hoshi suffer from a similar problem in that their voices are for the most part pleasant and gentle (though not as naturally soft as Ishida's is but still not as deep as a regular Japanese man's voice) which of course means for perfect uke material. (Though I do know Sakurai got at least a handful of seme roles as well.) I'm guessing this wasn't the sole reason they all quit but yeah, they did and the fangirls wept over it.
ODDLY ENOUGH THE SEME ACTORS SEEM TO BE PERFECTLY FINE WITH BL CDS AND MOST OF THE OLDER ONES STILL DO IT.
Re: mmm, anpan.
or. Er. THE POWER OF BEING THE ONE WHO ISN'T BEING SUBJECTED TO STRANGE OBJECTS BEING PLACED IN PLACES.
…actually yeah, authority works there. XD
Re: mmm, anpan.
Sakurai never got to finish that episode of Saint Beast because Morikawa was too busy making him act as his sex slave.
Ishida probably had the worst either with Nakai and the bottle of wine in Double Call 6 or nearly every man who wasn't voiced by Nobuo Tobita or Ryoutaro Okiayu trying to rape him in Okane Ga Nai. (At least they weren't successful (except for Juurouta Kosugi) unlike in the Endless series where Ishida's character couldn't even go to work without some man hitting on him or worse...)
