Thoughts on Shoujo-ai and Shonen-ai anime

Tweet

At first, I thought that shoujo-ai and shonen-ai anime are for fan service...actually I still think like that. But then I recently saw a shoujo-ai anime called "Kannazuki no Miko" and I cried so hard at the end. It was so wonderful! That's how my hunt for similar kinds of anime began. As for shonen-ai, I've only seen "Gravitation" and I liked it...although not as much as "Kannzuki no Miko." After some thoughts, I think I'd prefer watching shoujo-ai more. Maybe it is the fact that I am a girl. I don't know how to explain it, but shoujo-ai relationships that are shown in anime are more...beautiful than shonen-ai relationships. I'm even surprised, shoujo-ai and shonen-ai anime exist. What are your thoughts on them? Do you have recommendations as well? Thanks for reading.
