@Niner - no I'm not kidding and I stick by what I said, though I haven't seen Teacher fully it's not like a student/teacher relationship is the best either. The incest didn't really faze me that much, yes it sounds wrong but once you block out that element the story the anime wasn't that bad, or you could just laugh at the situation being shown just as you would with Teacher. The music was also part of the reason why I liked the anime.
@Eva - yes I am aware of Melty Blood, played it myself at my local anime club. Yes it is disappointing that it didn't fully follow the full concept of the story but EACH character (minus Arihiko since he's not in the original story) had a story that was quite stretched which would've dragged it unless it was done tastefully. The anime mainly focused on the main story between Arcueid & Shiki and was satisfying enough for me regardless of the characters left off, but I have to say the ending was kind of sad (not about the characters left off but about the story between Arcueid & Shiki). I took the anime for what was shown and to enjoy it and I did rather than be thinking of why there are characters left off, why they didn't follow so and so character's story arc etc.
As for yaoi and yuri animes...there were many even way before anime hit the big market, it was just that it was never licensed and are the really old ones in the early 90's.
