[aj-moment]

I feel like a significant amount of shitty harem anime could be single handedly made tollerable by aranging the genders in any combination but "a bunch of women fall for the guy."

A bunch of women devoid of agency fall for a boring guy? Lame. Mysogonistic. get out of here.

A bunch of men fall for a woman? #girlboss.

A bunch of women fall for a woman? EXTREME YURI!!!!!!

A bunch of men falling for a man? diversity win.

Absolute cringefail loser of a guy gets sent to a magic world and falls in love with something like nature or the mundane. Great. No Notes.

A completely different cringefail loser of indeterminate gender has a group of hot men and women fawning over them constantly? Now THAT'S the kind of unrealistic escapist power fantasy I could see myself willingly handing to an autistic 15 year old.

Why Ranma 1/2 is AMAZING and Why You Should Watch It by RynTashi

I'll finish watching this later, but I kind of disagree with Ranma Saotome having "different personas" between his 2 gender presentations.  He's the same guy.  It's just that being in a female body makes him feel more allowed to express certain things and act in certain ways, that he's too "macho" to allow while in his male body.  But slowly over the series, he does become more comfortable acting in certain ways in his male body, that he used to only act in his female body.  Like crying and eating sweets.  Eating sweets is considered so "girly" in Japan, especially decades earlier, that Pocky has a "Men's Pocky" line with explicitly less sweet, dark chocolate.  Anyway, Ranma is the same guy, not 2 different personalities or 2 personas.  He's just aware that he is prescribed different images between his 2 genders, by people who look at him, and he does take advantage of it.  But I just want to be clear:  Ranma isn't a split-personality character.  

I guess I needed to write this out clearly, because implying Ranma-kun and Ranma-chan were 2 separate personalities, even by unintentional misunderstanding, negates something very important about how the series effected me.  Ranma Saotome was one person, coming to terms with the different gendered expectations placed upon him by others and himself. (Same for Akane Tendo.)  One of the things that made Ranma 1/2 so important to me when I was younger, was that it was one of the few anime/series/media that discussed gender.  Most other anime at the time, only discussed gender in terms of the roles and relationship dynamics expected in heterosexual relationships.  Even a yuri series like Utena, veered its gender discussion a little more towards the romantic roles and actions expected of genders in romance.  But probably because the main couple in Ranma 1/2, Ranma and Akane, were not very focused on falling in love, Ranma 1/2 was able to stay focused on discussing gender in general.  And the series wouldn't allow you to think of Ranma and Akane in just the romantic way alone, since they had lots of other motivations in their lives.  Yes, they did come to care for each other, but compared to most other harem anime at the time, Ranma and Akane were not personally very romance focused, and that allowed the series to focus on gender instead.  

That was kind of the irony of the series.  From the outside it is a Harem genre series, and everyone can be described as “who is in love with who”, but the deuteragonists actually aren’t personally focused on romance.  Everyone around Ranma and Akane were trying to steer them into romances and make their lives all about romantic relationships.  Meanwhile, they're standing off to the side, trying to tell everyone how stupid this all is.  

...Which, incidentally, is one of my favorite Rumiko Takahashi jokes:  She's frequently writing scenarios  in all her series, where everyone is acting ridiculous, and it's such serious business to them, and they are taking it so seriously, but someone is standing to the side, with their arms crossed, giving them the side-eye, and just exasperated with all the unnecessary melodrama.  One of my favorite aspects of her humor!  lol   That was a lot of reacting for only watching 2min of this video essay. I’m sorry, but I'll finish watching this later.

I think I'm into anime again...

I thought I would give up on modern anime forever, none really stood out and the underrated ones are hard to dig up..

But this anime...this anime...

IS AMAZING!! (so far)

A modern anime that has a good OP AND ED?! And it actually stands out from the crowd, even if it is a delinquent anime. If anything, the fan service is more towards the female audience then it is the male side, which is refreshing to see since it isn't a shoujo. If I had to compare it to another anime, it'd be Urusei Yatsura (the original, idk about the remake). The humor is similar and the genie following the MC around is similar to Ataru and Lum's relationship.

When I first heard about this anime, the green haired guy stood out the most. I mean, I was introduced to this anime by the ED, and then I got curious because I thought it was a romance shoujo reverse harem, but then I realized it was entirely different then that (well, minus the harem), and then I clicked on images and saw this green haired man, Marito. Instantly reminded me of the pink haired guy from Yarichin...so I knew I was in for a gay time.

Matakara... Poor baby. It's no surprise the trailer refers to him as an "innocent baby". I fell in love with him immediately, he's very sweet and gentle and unfortunately really naive, like Makoto from Free! It looks like they have a lot in store for him, so I'm excited on where the writers plan to take him next (instead of him just obsessing over his childhood friend that hates his guts 😭 cmon he deserves better)

also his brother looked hot af but unfortunately he hasn't made an appearance yet only hinted at.

Going back to the "genie" and Mac's relationship...

It's very adorable, that's all I have to say. Again, similar to Ataru and Lum, but less violent and (so far anyway) no romance involved.

I have high hopes for this anime. It's made by MAPPA, which are the same guys that made Yuri!!! on Ice, which was an anime I hyperfixated on for a year or two, so I'm hoping this anime makes me feel the same way towards the end of it. It's just a shame since it seems people are sleeping on this, which isn't much of a shock. It doesn't have big booba women waifus or lolibait, so it doesn't appeal to men. And even though I said it more appeals to women, it's still not by much. The artstyle isn't typical shoujo and the romance isn't that great either. The only female character has a brother complex and has a terrible personality in general. So, it's basically like Yuri!!! on Ice, but without the homosexuality... so ofc it's probably not going to be the most popular out there right now but...idk, again, I just have hope it'll do well.

Will update a couple of weeks from now after more episodes come out ..and might upload frequently showing screenshots:)

[bonbonbunny]

Do u have any good lady's isekai falls-in-love-with-a-prince-from-a-novel type webcomic recommendation? I read 2 and now im hooked

Do I EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of these I find on Webtoon. If you join webtoon and read regularly, you'll see them suggesting more things you might like, and new stuff on the main page, and you'll discover more and more of them, too. 💖

Happily Ever Afterwards - The heroine is reborn AFTER the epilogue of her fave novel, after her favorite character has been exiled from the kingdom due to the story’s events (he’s a tragic, sympathetic character).  She sets about traveling to the cold, difficult kingdom of his exile to try to convince him to marry her, so that she can give him the happiness he deserves to have after all of the sad events from the book!  This comic is SOOOOO sweet, cute, and fluffy-fluff! ☁️

-

The First Night With the Duke - Starts out with a lot of comedy, but has gotten much more serious as the chapters have progressed, with some intense scenes that I haven’t been crazy about.  The heroine completely derails the plot of the novel by being born as a random, unnamed side-character who accidentally seduces the male lead, and no romance between him and the actual female lead ever even has the chance to happen. 😅

-

The Matchmaking Baby Princess - The heroine is born as a tiny baby princess, who uses her super cute charm to influence the characters around her so that things turn out better for them than the way the novel goes.  This one is still fairly new, so the episodes haven’t shown a whole lot about how she derails the story yet, but, it is REALLLY CUUUUUTE!!  And has very beautiful scenes of palatial gardens and such.  Also obviously the heroine herself is not the one that the romance happens to lol.

-

His Majesty's Proposal - This one is a bit similar to The First Night With the Duke, with a rando side character getting proposed to by the prince after spending a night with him.  A fun twist with this one is that the heroine is reincarnated from a crotchety old woman in her previous life, so she uses all kinds of old person slang (like calling people “whippersnappers” and stuff like that lol) and is kind of rude and grumpy lol.

-

Every Rose Has a Death Flag - Pretty typical isekai where the heroine is reincarnated as the villainess and knows that all of her ends are bad ends, so she tries to remove herself from the attentions of the prince and the other main characters, but through the process ends up endearing herself to them instead.  Good stuff without any weird quirks or gimmicks. 👌

-

Tricked into Becoming the Heroine's Stepmother - The protagonist is actually one of the AUTHORS of this novel, so she is familiar with exactly what will be happening to all of the characters!  She is reincarnated as a rando townsperson though, and doesn’t have much influence, until she appeals to the prince and just spills the fact that she’s the author and knows everything that’s going to happen to the princess (his daughter) in the future lol?!  And he believes her??  And employs her to his household in order to prevent any of the princess’ suffering???  Also did I mention that the princess is the most adorable little toddler ever, with fluffy hair like a chestnut? 😭😭

-

The Male Lead's Girl Friend - Again, the heroine is reborn as the villainess of the story, and attempts to distance herself from the male lead as much as she can (endearing herself to him in the process).  Some of the interesting quirks here are that she ships the male and female lead SUPER HARD, and is trying everything she can to hook them up together, but they both only seem to fall for her harder with every attempt. 😄 There is also a cool school/academy setting to this one to set it apart from the others with similar plots, as well as BIG YURI VIBES between the protagonist and the female lead.

-

How to Survive a Romance Fantasy - This is the most comedy-intensive of everything on this list.  In fact, it just kept getting sillier as its chapters went on, and I actually dropped it from my reading list because it wasn’t making me laugh as hard anymore as it was in the beginning.. 😅 In this one, three normal-world folks are reborn in the fantasy world, as the heroine, the prince, and the villainess, and ALL THREE of them hate it and want nothing to do with the plot, so they run away as far from the plot as they can, and are also keeping their identities as the main characters secret from one another.  It is very, very silly.

-

Non-Webtoon Webcomics

These have not been officially picked up & translated.  To read them in English, you will have to find them online where they are posted by fan translators.

The Villainess is a Marionette - This is for real probably my very favorite comic on this whole list, and can you believe how beautiful the art style is???  The tone of this one is totally different from any of the others here.  The protagonist is reborn as a malicious villainess with particularly cruel endings in her future, and she sets about to avoid them by using her power, influence, and wiles to manipulate the royal intrigue happening around her.  She’s... RELATIVELY kinder than the original villainess was in the story, and several characters that were her enemies in the original story are endeared to her now, but she’s still got her claws sunk into the royal family’s shady dealings.  This is a “bad boss b*tch” kind of heroine lol, and it’s super satisfying to see her come out ahead of the other villains with her crazy 4D chess manipulations.

-

Sincerely: I Became a Duke's Maid - A super snuggly, sweet, and fluffy story where the protagonist is reborn as a maid during the tragic antihero’s childhood.  He is afflicted with a painful curse, and the protagonist, knowing that only more pain is ahead for him, does her best to befriend him and make his youth a little bit lighter.

-

Who Made Me A Princess - Yet again, a tragic end awaits this princess that the protagonist is reborn as in her childhood, so she uses her cute charm to change the king’s attitude toward her (he was neglectful in the original story).  Some interesting original-plot-derails happen in this one, where her innate magic power is much stronger than it’s supposed to be, and she needs the help of a magical pet creature and a very handsome wizard to sustain her life in this world.

-

Seduce the Villain's Father - This one wins the award for having the most hilarious title in this list. 😆 It’s much cuter and lighter than it sounds!!  This protagonist derails the original plot by allowing herself to be kidnapped by the villain’s kingdom instead of the intended character (her sister).  She is reborn among characters the generation before the events of the novel, so the villain himself isn’t here yet - but his handsome dad is!  And if she can convince him not to marry the woman that would become the villain’s mother, then the storyline is saved!  Probably!

-

Special mention:

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Roads Lead to Doom! - This anime is probably the main “reincarnated as the villainess” isekai that introduced most of us to this concept. 😅 I’ve linked to where you can watch the anime for free on Crunchyroll, but there is also a manga if you’d prefer to read it!  While there are many, many comics that use this plot hook, this is the only one that made it to anime form, so it’s like, required watching!

-

To close this long list up, all of these recs are JUST ISEKAI!!!!  If I were recommending my favorite webcomics in general, there could also be Cursed Princess Club, The Remarried Empress, The Princess’ Jewels, and Men of the Harem in this list...

There are so, so many comics with beautiful art styles featuring gorgeous princesses, it’s crazy!! 😭😭 I could for real spend my whole life reading them probably?? 👌👌  Those millions of women that read romance novels about dukes falling in love with noble women are suddenly extremely relatable.

[ladyloveandjustice]

I just finished the novel Travelling Cat Chronicles this morning and CRIED LIKE A BABY it is very well written and moving and one of my new favorite books, great cat pov voice, extremely funny and sweet but if you are on my level it will definitely make you sad and cry also but in a kind of cathartic way?

other than this book i’ve been binging kindle light novels since apparently that’s my novel mood right now (provided, unsurprisingly, the material is GIRLS and/or GAY)

light novel spinoff of Bloom Into You, Regarding Sayaka Saeki: five stars, love Sayaka so much, very gay

Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress 1 & 2: power fantasy about kicking ass and sticking it to gross men and women having sexual tension. Is it like, well written? Not really. Is it fun and much more appealing to me that the ten thousandth Strongboi building his harem? Yes. we deserve this one

I also started “so I’m a Spider So What” (my ex was really into it) but idk if I’ll finish it, i like spider girl’s voice but not super into video game mechanics or generic guy that comes in every few chapters, I might find it more digestible (ha) as an anime if that ever actually gets made.

downloaded a few yuri fantasy/sci-fi lns too, i’ll let you know how those shake out.

[genomynt]

An anime you would recommend to everyone?

BRUH I HAVE LOTS. I CAN'T CHOOSE😢😢

I don't have decent connection as I answer this (I'm on a bus) so I'm sorry if I don't have visuals😅

Depends on what genre you would prefer~

For some action and long running ones, I suggest:

Gintama *FINISHED (manga)* (Action, comedy, fourth-wall breaking, friendship, feels) Set during the Edo Period but it's invaded with aliens that's why there's a touch of modern technology. Samurais are dorks and badass at the same time.

Fairy Tail *FINISHED* (feels, adventure, friendship, implied romance, dumb squad, fantasy) Different people with different dreams... It's like Harry Potter but they're adults and with matured themes.

Attack on Titan *ON-GOING* (feels, action, plot twists, thriller, psychological) titans munching humans to humans killing humans as well.

OTHER SHOUNEN ANIMES

My Hero Academia *ON-GOING* (Just like Naruto but with a twist of X-men setting LMAO)

Kimetsu no Yaiba *ON-GOING* (Feels, action, comedy, thriller, dumb squads) a bunch of kids killing demons with a demon cinnamon roll™💖

BONGOU STRAY DOGS (action, thriller, mafia, based on real-life characters that are literary writers, and such)

Full Metal Alchemist (FEELS. DON'T FORGET. OCT 3. Action, feels, comedy, thriller)

Soul Eater (Action, thriller, comedy) it's like Hogwarts but you need to kill people and witches.

The supporting actors was funny

You will certainly locate manga/anime where there's a woman that ships 2 men together, and also you will find in this i am my wife where there's a lady with her very own reverse harem. A lady who ships the men in her own opposite harem! I just located this collection a month ago as well as It looked so intriguing, I was right away hooked. As well as I am actually happy I did.

However in the very first occasion, Shion ends up passing away; as anyone who has actually had their favored manga personality expires can relate to, Kae doesn't take his departure well. She locks herself in her area for a week, refusing to eat. And if she goes back to college, she comes back rather attractive consequently of all of her weight decrease. Clearly, she gets hold of the passion of not only Igarashi and also Nanashima, but she additionally ends up bringing an underclassman called Hayato Shinomiya as well as likewise an upperclassman called Asuma Mutsumi. Sadly, she is not passionately interested in a few of these, yet nevertheless, the competitors begins.

I require to be reasonable that this i am my wife was not like I was hoping it would certainly be. There were occasions in which I was not actually as joined what was happening as other people, and also completion was marginally frustrating. Nevertheless, that does not imply that the tale is inadequate; on the contrary, it is truly a great one. There were lots of amusing minutes that at the very least made me grin, and also it was interesting to observe the characters' growth.

About the character's characters, Kae is somebody that any type of otaku lady can connect to if they are a fujoshi like her or otherwise; this, together with the amusing minutes between her, then make her an intriguing lead character. Mutsumi is my preferred from every one of them; he is really kind, it is clear he cares about Kae if in a platonic or romantic fashion, together with the episodes fixated him were my favorites. There is also Shima Nishina, a woman who signs up with the opposite harem rather behind the mangabat. As a yuri follower, I 'd like to express joy, yet frankly, I never viewed the organization in between her as well as Kae as anything more than platonic; nonetheless, she was nevertheless an enjoyable personality yet. The supporting actors was funny whenever they appeared and it made me laugh so hard.

Afterall, it has been a fun read. I 'd like to find out more manga online similar to this one. If you are tired of the precise usual variation of a harem manga, after that you should attempt this. You will not regret it. Very advise to any fan of mangas. You might also want to check https://themangablog.mystrikingly.com/blog/burqlf6itd4gqttcfuozua41634517450 related stories and information

My IDOLISH7 Story

Hello. This is a little embrassing to reveal myself. It might be boring for you to read it. But can't help it. I wanna share my story. And also I would like to have a friend whom I can ask all about Idolish7 game and tell freely all about Idolish7.

Actually I don't like Idol series.Still don't like them now except Idolish7. Cuz they are always singing in one minute per one episode and have always simple background. They way they treat their partners in group are way too casual. I watched my first idol anime, Love Live School Idol project. They aren't bad. I like their songs cuz I'm playing their game about 8 months ago. I don't like Muse's anime cuz like I said, they're way too friendly each other. In reality, every Idol person can't be friendly each other like them. They might have their own story, own personalities etc. Maybe the big fact I can't watch them is cuz I'm a girl. Lol😂😂😂Since I don't ship Yuri, that maybe the case.

I fell in love with all Idolish7 characters from fanart in pixiv. At first glance, I'm like ''Whoa! they are so cute. I wonder who they are'' And then, Tsumugi is surrounded by Ainana, Trigger and Re:vale. So, I thought that might be Reverse Harem series. So I give up to find their names but I saved one of those fanart and showed it to my friend. She got wrong Riku with the boy from Dream festival and said they were from Dream festival. So I watched Dream festival anime Ep 1 and know that they aren't from DF. So I give up again and play Love Live. Several days later, before I knew it, my mind and soul are interested in them and so, I started searching their names again. And then I found Anidol and Idolish7 games. I though Anidol might be tye one I'm looking for. So I downloaded the game and start playing for half an hour. I was wrong again. So I uninstall that and downloaded I7, the real one. (Glad I got the real one. Lol😂😂) I started playing Idolish7 mobile Rhythm game in October, 2017. When I started playing, I uninstalled three times. Like iit's always downloading, the stories need to download again and again to read it, can't touch any Rhytm icon cuz they're falling too fast, blah blah. But I'm bored with Love Live game. So, I thought I will try I7 seriously this time. Then, I downloaded all data they need and started playing MonGen,reading I7 story Part 1. At first, I feel bored reading them. When Triigger appeared on Screen and Secret Night songs can be played. I fell in love with Trigger. To get new songs, I have to read all stories and clear all challenges. It's become more interesting. Nor because of all the songs are amazing but because the stories are interesting too. I deeply touched and fell in love with them. Especially the stories, I have never seen that dramatic Idol series. I watched the other Idol series like High School Star musical, TsukiUta, B-project and any other things. They never made me feel excited and want to know more. But I7 is different. They can make the one who is really fussy about all idol genre be their passionate fan, me. I do love them now.Really. 😍😍😍 Scouting them to be idol is a little sudden though ( I mean in my home country, all debuted idol come from singing contests) but they are fine just the way they're now. To become debuted as 7 men together, yhey worked hard steps by steps. It's really want to support them more and more. I feel like I wanna explode when I've read about So-chan going back to home and Tamaki is framed. Momo got arrested by Ryo and Yuki's on fire to look for him. I feel really anxious. I really can't get what will happen next. But that makes I7 more interesting and I love it. I'm still exciting abiut what comes next in Part 4 and all new songs. I'm lookumg forward to their firsr live too. Hope my story isn't too complicated to understand. Since english is my second language, I'm not confident about spelling and grammar.

I want to have a friend who loves Idolish7 more than me and want to have a fun time by tellimg each other our stories. If you haven't watched Idolish7 Anime, I suggest you to watch it. It will never get you bored and want to know more. After you become more passionate, you can play Rhythm game too. It won't make your day so boring.

Thanks for giving your precious time reading this.

the gay ass anime masterpost*

*not actually a masterpost, since i give about two and a half fucks about keeping this updated or properly categorized. real loose classifications to follow. shit i haven’t seen in italics; stuff i’d highly recommend in bold. now updated w/ streaming links (some are US-only tho, sorry)

no predatory lesbians or okama joke characters or else we’ll be here all day. k? k.

LGBT-THEMED: anime that directly addresses LGBT identity as one of its primary focuses

Revolutionary Girl Utena

the ez one

Yurikuma Arashi

Class S is bullshit, did u know that. Also, thirsty-ass bear girls and a real angry takedown of the patriarchy

Flip Flappers

I don’t know how you can read this show as anything but lesbian sexual awakening, especially given the Class S Yuri Hell episode

Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko)

pls pay attention to the T friends

Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers)

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju

Kikuhiko is def not cishet and i will fite u if u insist otherwise. Half the show’s choices make no sense without that lens

Yuri!!! on Ice

fite me

LGBT-THEMED; LIMITED REP: anime that addresses gender or sexuality as a secondary focus, though perhaps lacking explicit representation (e.g. LGBT narratives in the secondary cast). 

The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (from the director of Yuri!!! on Ice)

One of the supporting characters is a gay man struggling w/ masculinity

Gay schoolgirl episode all about female sexual repression

did i mention the titty is good

Princess Jellyfish

Prominent focus on gender presentation

Kuranosuke can be read as a closeted trans woman

Paradise Kiss

Heroine’s love interest is bisexual

Trans woman in the supporting cast; trans identity plays a major role in her story

Ouran High School Host Club

Discusses gender + gender presentation, though protagonist isn’t explicitly stated to be nonbinary

Protagonist’s parents implied to be genderqueer; father definitely bi

Plenty of gay subtext among the male cast

Scum’s Wish

Strong focus on female sexuality; main character is bisexual

Central cast also includes a lesbian

Simoun

Discusses gender as more of an abstraction? Takes place in a world where everyone is born female to later choose a permanent gender. It does less to directly address gender than you’d expect, though, which is why I’m sticking it here

From the New World (Shin Sekai Yori)

Future dystopia where societal norms practically mandate bisexuality. Honestly, I dunno where to put this; the story’s more concerned with sexuality in general than with LGBT identity

Devilman Crybaby

Classic characters reinterpreted through a queer lens; important theme of coming to terms with one’s own sexuality and identity. Ryo is the definition of disaster gay 

LGBT REP: anime w/ positive depictions of LGBT characters, though not necessarily concerned w/ addressing queerness directly. 

Samurai Flamenco

Four words: gay naked gunpoint proposal. the show makes about that much sense but it’s a lotta fun

i don’t care what the director said

bisexual girl in a poly relationship 

No. 6

boys kissing tho???

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid

pls ignore the manga and its magic dick nonsense

Haruchika

One of the two leads is a gay boy. He explicitly says so in the first episode. Avoid the live-action movie like the plague.

I should probably list Kase-san and Bloom Into You here

Mikagura School Suite

The heroine is REALLY THIRSTY for all the cute girls

Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo

Beyond the obvious homoerotic overtones of Albert/the Count, there’s Franz’s gay crush

Sympathetic trans girl character in the secondary cast

Michiko and Hatchin (from the director of Yuri!!! on Ice!!!)

Girls are good ok

Atsuko is gay

Macross Delta

two girls in the supporting cast do a hell of a lotta cuddling on screen

some versions of Sailor Moon

namely the ‘90s anime

Sailor Moon Crystal and the manga do address gender in… questionable ways

Tokyo Godfathers

Trans woman in the main cast

Tiger and Bunny

Reasonably respectful portrayal of a gay man once it gets going

Central relationship between two men could be read as romantic

Genshiken

Whispered Words (Sasameki Koto)

Psycho-Pass

One of the officers is a lesbian. She gets a focus episode

Monogatari series

Really just limited to Kanbaru, but she’s the most accurate depiction of the constantly horny dank meme problematic gay (e.g. me) i’ve ever seen, ironic propositioning of her straight dude friend and all. The rest of the franchise is obnoxious though, so ymmv

Kill la Kill?

i don’t know how else you interpret one girl kissing another on the mouth

Attack on Titan

If you’ve been living under a rock and somehow haven’t heard about it Ymir and Christa are all but explicitly stated to be in love with each other

Kino’s Journey

Kino asks people to use non-gendered pronouns, apparently? I haven’t seen this yet.

Knights of Sidonia

Non-binary character in the main cast

The manga goes some iffy places with their character tho, be warned

Really though, I mostly like this show for the sentient pink penis alien

Gatchaman Crowds

Several gender non-conforming characters

Trans girl in the main cast

Cardcaptor Sakura?

Fuuka

One of the dudes is canonically gay, not that it makes much of an improvement to the show

A Centaur’s Life

there’s a moment where a lesbian objects to her PDA being considered more obscene than the straight equivalent, which is nice but pretty off-the-cuff

Rose of Versailles

Oscar’s debatably genderqueer, though the show goes some real questionable places towards the end

Gay ladies?

Hunter x Hunter

Trans girl in the supporting cast. Her story’s extremely minor in the grand scheme of things but it’s there and it’s good

Love and Lies

potato-kun gets a harem that includes his male best friend

Land of the Lustrous

non-gendered rock people searching for meaning in life

Bodacious Space Pirates

via @madscientist212​: “two explicitly lesbian characters who are lovers, and one of the story arcs involves the crew helping one of them avoid being forced into an arranged marriage to a dude by her uncle”

Banana Fish

Extremely dated BL-flavored crime drama; unfortunately falls into the pitfalls of old-ass exploitation films: csa, sexual assault, etc. It’s such a problematic fav tho

Kiss Him, Not Me

Reverse harem includes a lesbian

Double Decker! Doug & Kirill

heavy gay subtext between leads and secondary cast members; well-intentioned trans representation that’s... kinda clumsy, tbh

Zombie Land Saga

one of the zombie girls is a trans girl who dies from the shock of puberty. it’s p incidental to her character but the show’s real cute otherwise so go for it

Anima Yell

apparently one of the girls admits to having a crush on a female teacher. or something. idk this show looks hella boring why bother

THE SUBTEXT IS STRONK: not textually gay (some you could argue could fall under category #2 and vice versa; not the point of this post) but can be read that way, even though these shows aren’t super concerned w/ romance in general

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Depending on the version, Shinji’s sexuality can be read a variety of ways. Manga Shinji is pretty clearly bi; TV anime Shinji you could debate. 

Free, I guess

Love Live (Sunshine esp.) if I’m counting Free

Symphogear

Dear Brother (Oniisama e, otherwise known as BE STRONG)

Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Apollon)

Nominally they’re straight and pining for the same girl but BOY do Kaoru and Sentarou have a LOT of chemistry with each other, so much that it’s hard to read them otherwise

Marimite (Maria Watches Over Us)

Izetta: The Last Thing I Would Watch Even If I Had a Gun Pointed at My Head

Despite what you may have heard, this show is bad and 100% plays in bait territory. Also, obnoxious gun fetishism and way. too. much. goddamn. phallic imagery.

Tanaka-kun is Always Listless

Umamusume: Pretty Derby

Princess Principal

Spiritpact

I have complicated feelings about this goddamn trash fire of a show, but halfway through the second season it turns into a genuinely compelling gay pseudo-romance (?) about two boys navigating heteronormativity. also i guess the main couple exists, tho they spend a ridiculous amount of effort no-homoing

Amanchu

basically any sports anime ever tbh 

Golden Kamuy

MADE FOR THE STRAIGHTS BUT STILL OK: the yuri, BL, etc. that’s clearly targeted at a heterosexual audience but respectful enough to be enjoyable for the people they’re about

Doukyuusei

This Boy Caught a Merman

This Boy is a Professional Wizard

Strawberry Panic

Love Stage??? I have some qualms about putting this here but of the trashy BL anime that exist this is probably the least offensive

Maria-Holic

TEXTUALLY GAY BUT BLUGHHHH: the yuri and BL that just sux

Sakura Trick

Junjou Romantica (how the hell does this thing have three seasons)

Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

Gakuen Heaven

Dramatical Murder (POTATO DOGGO)

Super Lovers UGH

idk Gravitation and all that other crappy BL I don’t have the patience to list

GIMME THE TRASH NOW: problematic as all hell but i sure ain’t complainin b/c i’m gay ass trash

Netsuzou Trap (NTR)

Riddle Story of Devil

Love to Lie Angle

if you ever wanted a generic ass harem comedy except with a potato girl instead of a potato guy, here’s that compressed into 3 minutes

Citrus

Corpse Party wwww

Gakuen Handsome FITE ME

NOT TOUCHING THIS HORNET’S NEST WITH A TEN FOOT POLE: pls,,,, save me from the Disk Horse

Sound! Euphonium

One of these days I might organize this a lil better. Maybe if/when Tumblr figures out how to make editing not a pain in the ass

[alhenas]

sniper-quiet replied to your post “just my onion but i cannot believe people just ignore the bullshit in...”

I know!!! And i dont even know why people like it when at first glance it looks like another shitty loli/harem anime, "BUT ITS GAY SO ITS OK !!!1 uwuwuwu" like.... shut up, its pretty clear it was made by men AND for men... ugh

I KNOOOOOW RIGHT i honestly was REALLY skeptical about it when it first started showing up on my dash !!! i made the mistake of watching it w a couple of friends b/c benefit of the doubt and oh my god. big mistake. we all hated it so much . just cos its gay (and btw it’s unrequited gay, as far as the show/anime hints at) doesnt make it !!!! ok to sexualize little kids !!!!! i hate “””yuri””” made for male gaze. fuck this series
