yes, i usually do,
i am not fluent enough to understand the original japanese version,
let alone the other random languages that are offered ;[

but, when i am looking for something to do,
i often watch anime within its original intent, and sometimes with the alternative languages, such as french and spanish, for fun :]

I don´t like dubs... When I watch anime, I usually do it in original japanese version with english subs (or sometimes czech subs but I prefer english because of learning). It´s much better, japanese voices are original and they are able to scream in anime like nobody else can I think lots of people tell you that original versions are best I saw few episodes in english too, I didn´t like it too much but it´s still much better than in czech... we can´t dub at all, it usually becomes c*rap

lmao, you have a point there, they def have way better vocals than english actors do, and their tones usually seem to make the characters seem more alive, and make the anime feel more..homey, i guess, lol, i cannot think of how to put it in words, but all the same, it just keeps the originality... i guess since i was first introduced through the dubbing ways, i just grew used to it, and that's why i tend to lean towards them, and i watch anime in its entirety when i have free time and, like you with english, try learning some of the other languages offered xD

aww, that sucks that you cannot dub at all :[
haha, but at least you still can watch all of the goodness in other formats x]

I like Dubs more. Alot of people tell me the original version is better, but most the time reading the subs gives me a headache. Also Ive noticed in subs sometimes they spell the names of the main characters wrong or leave stuff out. I was watching Karin and it would just go blank while people were talking. That was very annoying.

I love Gravitation!! I have all the novels, but I don't have all of the manga yet. I'm working on it though as well as the remix and megamix versions. They're so naughty it's heaven!!

But its catergorized as one. As far as iM concerned neither is Descendants of darkness its pretty much like Gravitation. Exept with demons and stuff..

Yep, definitely more Shounen-aiish, but i guess some people do categorize it as yaoi. They like kiss and that's it though. Someone mentioned Mirage of Blaze. I didn't even know it was shounen-ai until i watched the OVA, but i only saw a couple episodes before that.

Oh, if reading while watching really bothers you, I understand. It´s just.. I feel like it isn´t the same story as japanese wanted to show us because it lose something on its originality.. But I guess it´s simply individual

I think it´s simple, you see sexual scenes (^__^), it´s doushinji anime/manga porn= it´s yaoi. You don´t see sexual scenes, just kissing, hugging and so (^_^)= it´s shounen-ai. This definition straight categorize Gravitation as shounen-ai..

Lol, I think it loses it's originality when it's turned into a anime. If you wanted to see it with our much change just read the manga. When it's turned into a anime they cut out alot of the good parts and can sometimes cut out small important parts. Like the manga Nana, when turned into a anime had alot of the beginning cut out. Actually... The whole beginning cut out.

But, to each his own i guess

That's how i see it too^

I think reading mangas is better definitely, but it's also fun to see your favorite mangas made into anime. Because a manga, obviously, is only one scene shots, whereas in an anime, you get to see everything played out. Even if a lot of things are cut out.

I just recently finished the anime! I loved it! The music is rocking, the characters develope awesomely, its hilarious as well as serious, you barely notice the shonen-ai! I'd recomend it to anybody! My favorite characters are Ryuichi, Shuichi, Yuki, Hiro, and K are my top favorites, all tied for first! (Well...maybe K takes first place ) Tohma and Fukisaki are tied for second.

Gravitation was my second shonen-ai and I loved it! I'ma read the book next ^^
