Okay I did it /a/.
I actually downloaded and watched Boku no Pico. I figured if I was going to recommend it everytime a /r/ thread pops up I would be able to make a more convincing argument if I actually knew what happens.

If you ignore the yaoi, what you are left with is an engaging story, beautiful visuals, a solid soundtrack, quality voice work, and great direction.
I was expecting it to be cheap, and ugly, thinking that since it was catered to a certain audience who would buy up anything so long as it fit their fetish, that they wouldn't waste time and money actually making it good.
I was wrong.
