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 have recently realized that days without tea are far worse than those with tea. OBVIOUSLY I MUST DRINK AT LEAST ONE CUP PER DAY TO REMAIN ERR...HEALTHY?

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.

AH, THE POWER OF AUTHORITY.

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

I haven't even heard any of Hoshi's proper BLs yet so I have no clue just how much he had to suffer...

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...)
