Title: Any Yaoi Suggestions?

I prefer animated and English dubbed. No subtitles. I've got Yuri On Ice.

Yaoi is not typically my thing, and this may not be what you are looking for (plus it's a bit dated now), but I always enjoyed Kyou Kara Maou.

DICTIONARY MODE, ON.

Yaoi - Sub genre of anime and manga, focusing on male/male relationships, usually with a Bishounen (literal translation: Beautiful Boy) art style which focuses on men with slender, almost elfin, builds. See also: Shounen-Ai (Literal: Boy Love)

DICTIONARY MODE, OFF.

Sometimes it's a nonsensical addition to a series that doesn't even have romantic relationships to begin with (see below for an infamous example), though there has been a shift to attempt to portray more realistic gay relationships.

(A particular series that is just... well, popular, and not a bad storyline, quite a good one actually... but... makes no sense... is called Gensou Maden Saiyuki. It has four main characters. A presumably celibate priest, a demon who looks like a teenager, a complete womanizer, and a man who loved his wife so much that when she was killed by demons he went cray cray and slaughtered thousands of them in one night. Yet they spend half of each episode complimenting each other's eyes and acting like they are about to make out. It... it just doesn't make sense.)

Thank ya Willis, and you too Ellie :)

I watched a movie a few months back.  It was I believe Japanese and was about a girl who was pretending to be a boy to run her clan.  She had a demon at her disposal and it was all trippy.  Cant remember the name and it was live action with an anime feel to it if that makes sense.

'Love Stage' is pretty cute. I know you can screen that on Hulu

An old favorite of mine was 'Gravitation'l I haven't watched it in years though.

I always forget it is an acronym. Also, I suppose this is more shounen-ai than yaoi suggestions. ;D But it's a muddied difference in the west.
