I actually got the anime version myself, and I can't say I was all that highly impressed. Granted it is funny at times, and I do like seeing Dee and Ryo animated, however I rather wish that they had chosen to make a TV series out of it, rather than focus on their vacation to England.
Of course, that might be due to the fact that the only thing I have never really liked about FAKE is that Sanami Matou chooses to randomly through in stuff to do with the paranormal. While I do enjoy manga with a paranormal vibe, and paranormal things in general, when she puts it in the story line, it just doesn't feel right to me, it's like she was trying to hard to add something else into the plot. I could essentially tolerate the thing with the ghost in England, however, when you get deeper into the manga, and she writes the side stories about Carol and Bikky, there are two characters she introduces named Lai and Lass that become friends of Carol and Bikky. That would be all well and good, had she not chosen to make these two particular characters psychic. I really don't think it tied into the vibe that was going on with FAKE. To me, FAKE always had the serious crime drama/romance thing going on, with a little humor tossed in of course to keep it from being a downer. I think adding in stuff to do with psychics and the paranormal was too forced and actually served to make it a little corny.
Despite that fact though, I too read my volumes of the manga over and over because I am still a huge fan of the series and it is my favourite yaoi title to date.
@melaniecat: I didn't think the art was all that bad in the anime, I have seen much worse believe me. Also, it was a rather nice clean up of the sketchy style that Matou seems to have in the manga. Granted that sketchy style did grow on me and I now find it quite endearing ^^; Also when it comes to Bikky, he's a bit of a "juvenile delinquent," so of course he's going to be too young to do some of the things he does. Before Ryo took him in the kid had almost no leash, so he could go about and do what he pleased with few repercussions from his father. When it comes to him being too old to be doing some of the things he does... well, it's safe to assume that Bikky didn't have much of a childhood, his dad was involved with the mafia and who knows if he paid much attention to Bikky at all... there's bound to be some residual childishness that he feels the need to release. Now that he is with Ryo as well, it seems that he has half a hope of experiencing some kind of a child hood, so I don't feel that him acting out in immature ways is too much of a bad thing. If you are referring to how he treats Dee when Dee puts the moves on Ryo though, well, Bikky is very serious when it comes to defending Ryo, he cares about Ryo and since Ryo doesn't care for Dee's advances at first, it's only natural he's going to do what he can to stop them. Even if said manners are and immature way of going about it, they're also likely the only way Bikky knows how to react to the situation.
Heh, that was a little more long-winded than I originally intended, I hope no one minds ^^;
