Yup, and saying things like "We don't rely on gay storylines to draw an audience," which is rich, considering YOI is one of the best-selling anime of all time now, and WttB is...decidedly not.

Hint: if it were just the ~gay storyline~ that got them viewers, it wouldn't be nearly this popular, as not even the best-selling BL anime of all time made anywhere NEAR the dent YOI has.

That's not to say the homoromantic content isn't a big part of the splash it's made, but it was crazy popular before episode 7 was even a glimmer in fans' eyes.

The director's comments definitely sound like they are salty AF that their show hasn't capitalized on riding on YOI's coattails like the thought it would.

The only reason the show had so much hype before it even began was the gay shipping, Dory.
