Hey, I haven't seen it so this is just hearsay - but how about Bastard!? Correct me if I'm on crack, but I could've sworn that had potential for something like this. :shock: Naked people everywhere and no shounen-ai.


Sorry, were you trying to avoid shounen-ai of any sort? o.O


Not I (perish the thought), but the creator of this video was.


Oh yes, so he was... *veg*

With a username like "BISHOUNENStalker", why does everyone think I'm a guy? And as if my sig wasn't a clue, either....

Why take it so personally? It's just common, that's all. It's a pretty safe assumption that male anime fans (straight ones) like fanservice, and since - as you know by now - male fanservice is rare, it's an almost safe assumption that a female anime fan/bishie fan is at least partial to shounen-ai. Because six times out of ten, that's where the bishounen are.

They weren't saying "You're lying! You do, you do, you do!!!!!" - they were just jumping to conclusions. That's not the same as "hard for people to believe".

It's not such a big deal, anyway. :shock:

...ah well. To each their own. *shrugs and leaves the thread*

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to take it quite so personally. I know it's a common and logical assumption, but it's one I'm getting quite sick of people making.

If you want a better explanation for my uber-bitchy outburst, check out my latest journal entry. Then add no sleep and caffeine withdrawal symptoms >.<

Actually, I haven't seen any of the first season of Gensoumaden Saiyuki. I've only the DVDs of the second season. (*cough cough*) But now that ADV has licensed it, in another 2 years or so maybe I'll be able to actually watch the first season on domestic DVDs. :) Aaanyway maybe they kept some of the same animations in the opening sequence from the first season? The songs are different I know from looking at the OSTs, though. Does the first season opening sequence also include the four of them dressed up in hip-hop style? I don't pay much attention to the Goku fanservice since even if he's just an anime character either way you look at it he's still a little boy. He's got cute dimples but if you're lusting after him, no offense there's something wrong with you. :|

I wouldn't consider Gensoumaden Saiyuki yaoi or shounen-ai. As I mentioned in General Anime. Whatever yaoi you see in it is only due to an overactive imagination. :) All I know is that pretty anime guys wearing leather pants and fixed in angsty poses with chains shackled to them looks pretty sexy and it's not like they're chaining each other up or anything demented like that.

Anyways enough about Saiyuki since it's leading into other discussions. In any case I know quite a few fighting animes have some pretty muscular men in them. Most anime directed by masami obari like Battle Arena Toshinden, Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, Voltage Fighter: Gowcaizer, and Virus Buster: Serge all have guys with bishy hair and abdomens that probably couldn't exist in real life. :D I found Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture the most realistic and alluring of those titles, his cap-antics are pretty one of a kind too. :)

Kenji and Hans from A.D. Police - To Protect and Serve caught my eye when I was browsing DVDs. I probably would've never bought the series if I hadn't seen this picture:

It's one of the most worthwhile Anime purchases I've made. :)

Yeah, Saiyuki's definitely a good choice. It slipped my mind because I only saw the first two episodes of it at the local anime club's "Mishmash Night" (basically they drag out the whole closet full of anime and slap it up on the screen). Guys in chains...that definitely works.

As for a song, I got a couple choices in mind. I'm trying to avoid the terribly obvious "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred:

DDR -- Boys
The Weather Girls -- It's Raining Men

If you can think of more possibilities that would fit, fling 'em my way.

That'd go great.. Because.. Well, you have an inside joke with the lyrics.. So many men on TV.. So little fanservice time.. -shrug- I thought it was funny..

Anyway, I have the CD if you want a wav extracted...


I extracted this song for tomj, and here it's still hosted. (right click)

Songs, oo fun. (I'll check out the journal thing shortly. Thanks for not counterflaming ^_^;; )

Let's see - Well, you could always go for something like a usual fanservice song for the comedic value, like Art of Noise and Tom Jones' version of "Kiss" (that's a more "address the audience" kinda choice, rather than "address the subject of the video")

Bjork, Venus As A Boy (slow, but it's got the topic right)

Heart, Magic Man :lol: (Only if it's for that 80s contest ;))

Liz Phair, Supernova (the lyrics remind me of a shoujo-anime bishounen :lol: )

MXPX - Chick Magnet (it's been done, but it's cute)

Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous (love. this. song!!!)

That's all I've got, and the last one is probably the best. 8)

Being a guy, I knew I wouldn't be the greatest source on this...so I went to my friend, and she gave me some ideas...(since I let her take all of my anime GAHH!!! and I NEVER get it back)

Fruits Basket - Kyo, Yuki, and all those others...ever since I let her see it, she has been determined to take me to the mall and dress me up like Kyo, and make his braclet for me :?

GTO...now, I know that this fanservice for the guys out there...and thats an understatement...but she said that Onizuka was really cute and that you could probably clip out the scenes of just him.

Just thought I throw those out...

The songs I had considered using were

Sexy Boy-Shawn Micheals WWE intro theme

Sexy Boy- Kinky Boyz from the Queer as Folk OST

Sex Bomb- Tom Jones

Some others could be...

If you think I'm Sexy- N'Trance's version of the Rod Stewart song

Boys- Samantha Fox

Many Apologies.

A question about the "so many men" song, is it really only a minute and a half long? It seemed rather short as far as songs go. It certainly has a good beat and I really like that 'trilling' sound effect that's in there.
