Monochrome Factor
モノクローム･ファクターThe story revolves around high school student Akira Nikaido, a typical slacker living a normal life. That is, until he meets the mysterious Shirogane, a man who suddenly appears and tells him that they have a destiny together. When Akira hears this, he is shocked and doesn't believe a word of it. Aya, a friend of Akira, forgets something in the school one night, and asks Akira to help her and go find it. He agrees, and while there, he gets attacked by a shadow monster. Shirogane convinces him that the balance between the human world and the shadow world has been distorted and that Akira must become a "shin"- a creature of the shadow world- in order to help restore the balance. The anime has shonen-ai themes which are completely absent from the manga. (Source: Wikipedia)

I was introduced to this anime when I was a young fujoshi, and I was kind of desperate for content. At the time I was absolutely OBSESSED with this show, and genuinely enjoyed it. In retrospect the show's quality is average at best. Much of each episode is taken up by stock footage transform sequences, the rest of the animation is low quality on average. BUT, there are also good moments, and the characters, however a little one-dimensional, are at least intriguing, and are given time to shine and show a little depth (for a moment).

Cool, thrilling and FUNNY anime full of moments of suspense, humor and fluff. Monochrome Factor is one of my favorite BL anime where the characters all have a defined and unique personality, making the plot very well-developed and exciting. I love the idea of black and white, light and darkness.
