If you are hesitating or are on the fence about buying this series, DON'T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE! Gravitation is the Platinum standard of shounen-ai and is a fantastic anime series period. While the manga is sensational and at times edge-of-your-seat suspenseful, the anime series is just as gripping, and the characters are rich, colorful, and beautiful. Seeing everyone's favorite sullen novelist Eiri Yuki in full color animation is well worth the purchase, but that's just the icing on a sweet, sweet cake.

The songs are great of course, and the English voice cast is actually more than just tolerable -- they do a really good job. The box itself makes for a beautiful display, and each of the 4 disc cases features a bold, colorful, sexy rendition of Shuichi and Eiri. The extra features are fun and informative, especially the liner notes which detail certain specific details in some episodes that may be missed or confusing.

The few love/kissing scenes are extremely tame -- hence the shounen-ai label and not yaoi -- but sweet nonetheless. There are mushy, "awwwww"-inspiring moments for those that like that, funny moments, guns, laughs, cries, and everything in-between. There's something for everyone. Even my hard-core action anime-loving friends enjoy Gravitation. There's just something about it that hooks you in and won't let go...

All in all, this is one of my favorite anime series of all times, and is one of the most beautiful dvd boxsets I've ever owned. While you may be able to find it less expensive on another site, BUY IT. You will NOT be disappointed. After all, It's...Gravitation...

This is a fantastic set and has some fun extra features. It has all the episodes and the language settings are easy to access. However, the set doesn't include the OVAs. However, the show is adorable and the translations are quite good. A big thumbs up from me.

This anime is awesome! I hate that it's only 13 episodes , it should have been longer! Anyways it's about a boy who's in a band and is at that point of success in music. He meets a man who is very cold to him and suddenly finds he's in love with Yuki. And now that he's famous, people are doing anything to find more out about him plus Yuki has a dark secret of his own. Anyway it's really funny and you might also shed some tears like I did.

Though the series is absolutely wonderful, the subtitles aren't. If you get the series, definitely get the English version, so that you won't have to deal with bad grammar, misused words, and confusion. English version is excellent!

First of all, I'm not a huge anime fan, but I started watching this on Anime Network (cable channel) and I was hooked from the first episode and actually bought my first anime DVD. Yes, the two main characters are gay and Yuki has some hokey lines, but it's more than made up for in the humor and the character development. Warning, it can be a little slapsticky -- with the former CIA agent manager, a fey idol with a toy rabbit, the lovelorn fiance and Shuichi's goofy antics -- but the ending seemed to make it all worth it. I only wished there was a sequel.

OKay I admit it this is my first same sex anime, and what first got my attection was the music theme. But I can honestly say this is one of the best animes I have ever seen in my life. (I'm kinda sad I didn't discovered it sooner.) Now if you have any problems with same sex coupling simple, don't watch. But IMO when it comes down to it Gravitation is just a great powerful love story.
It's what I love about anime it's FUNNY and then you might find yourself sad and heartbroken for the charcthers. The three main guys are just down right eye candy. Shuichi is just so likeable with some of the cutest faces and Yuki is just breathtaking in looks. And you really feel for him, for both of them.
Then the music is some of if not the best japanese rock music I have ever heard! (You might want to get the soundtracks after hearing.) The English dub is one of the best ever! Bravo to the cast! Espically IMO Shuichi and Yuki's VA's.
Anyway I LOVED the series (I couldn't stop watching) and was sad when it ended. I'm so proud to call myself a fan and I feel this anime deserves more then 5 stars! ^_^

Very good quality, no flaws in the package or skips or scratches. I love this series, thank you for selling it to me! :D

Looking for some Yaoi that is not a porn fest? This is your show. I love this show so much and the English voice actor a very good. I give it all the stars

I love the series. It's very cute and funny, but at the same time it can be emotional and make you cry. I would not recommend watching the dub. I don't usually mind dubs, but this is just terrible, stick with the subs the translation is good.

GRAVITATION IS VERY FUNNY, BEAUTIFULL, IT'S.......WOW!!!!
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO WATCH DVD, LAUGHS ARE ASSURED.
