Gravitation is an anime which tells the heart-warming story of Shuichi, the lead singer of a Japanese rock band called Bad Luck, who encounters and begins a romantic relationship with the romance novelist Yuki.
The characters are all likable and their voices match perfectly. Shuichi is the hyper teenage boy who dreams of becoming a rock star and has an interesting taste in fashion, Yuki is shrouded in mystery and can be rather cold to Shuichi at times, Hiro is the extremely supportive and companionable best friend of Shuichi, and K is the intimidating manager of Bad Luck. Each character has a different personality and their own dreams, so there is a great variation.
Secondly, the plot is well-paced and heart-wrenching; not once did it fail to make me emotional or put a smile on my face. It doesn't take itself too seriously and the romance isn't mushy or cringeworthy. I can honestly say this is the best love story I have ever heard. Additionally, Yuki's backstory is horrific and enough to make me understand why Yuki is how he is as well as to sympathise with him.
Thirdly, the animation is faultless. All of the scenery and the characters are vibrant and skillfully drawn. Shuichi, Yuki and Hiro are easily the most attractive characters and their outfits reflect their personalities, especially Shuichi's feminine clothes and dog costume.
Finally, the music is enjoyable to listen to and memorable, and it is the music which is key to Gravitation. Although the show has a tendency to repeat its songs, they don't become tedious.
All in all, Gravitation is a unique, hugely entertaining and fun anime. The yaoi (gay) couple are adorable and their relationship is realistic, the story is captivating and filled with hilarious moments, and the animation is incredible.
