Welcome to BRB, everyone! My post is a little late to hit the blog today. But, I've been extremely busy, too busy it seems. I'm still working fastidiously on my revisions, while my newest release is with the editor, and I've had a mass of paperwork to do. That's what happens when you run your own business and try to write at the same time.
Anyway, my post today marks the beginning of similar posts to come in the future. I hope you find it somewhat interesting.
'OVAs have been around for decades. OVA
means ‘original video animation’ (not the plural for ovum), it is an animated
movie released as ‘direct-to-video’, which translates the movie hasn’t had
prior theatrical or TV viewings.'
Ai no Kusabi - OVA

As an artist myself, I find Japanese
anime/manga to be unique, beautiful, and unparalleled in the animation world.
To this day Ai no Kusabi remains my favourite yaoi. Iason Mink and Riki are
gorgeous. In my opinion the art work in the original OVA is the best and the
new OVA (released in 2009) doesn’t quite do the characters justice. But, I can certainly prevaricate how it has capture a younger audience. Us older-timers almost always prefer the originals.

When I first discovered ANK, no one
had heard of it–well Western culture knew little of the Japanese yaoi world at
that time, anyway. Now, things have changed with the spread of the Internet.
The are over 99,000 websites dedicated to, or have pictures/write-ups, or
mention Ai no Kusabi. Yes, I said 99,000–unbelievable isn’t it? The author Ms.
Rieko Yoshihara, passed away, and wherever she is, I'm sure she's thrilled
with her novels success. If you're interested in learning more about this yaoi,
the first website is totally awesome, one of the best I've ever come across,
and I’ve come across quite a few! LOL Ai no Kusabi has graphic sex, gorgeous
characters, realistic plot, and sad ending; the story sticks to its yaoi roots.
Happy Yaoi Hunting
