I was watching this week’s Funimation Quickie this morning and it apparently was the first in a series of AX centered episodes. But while going through the exhibit hall, host Scott Porter said in jest while holding a YAOI paddle, “Dude, I just found out about this new boating anime called YAOI and they’re giving away these paddles - you have to buy ‘em. I’m gonna see if I can find out more because I love boats!”

So why isn’t there one? It could feature hot guys on rowing or canoeing crews training for a big competition with water droplets glistening off their chests and staying in the same cabin at a summer camp…

Okay, I’ll stop there because I’m scaring myself from how easily I wrote that premise but you can imagine many possibilities of where one could go with the basic framework. It would be funny if it were in fact not yaoi but rather it’s a shonen sports anime about a boy learning about boating and seeing how many people are confused by the title. Nah, it would be better if it was actually yaoi and had meta references in it.
