anime

There isn't that much yaoi anime out there, but what there is rarely ever gets dubbed into English - why is that?

Is it because there is more of a stigma in the West for Voice Actors to do Gay roles? Or is it more of a money issue? BL ...

After a slough of Tomino-directed stories in which Newtype pilots fall in love simply by psychically “sensin...
