Any interesting stories with LGBT themes this season?
In addition to All-Guy's Mixer that was mentioned, the only thing I could think of that maybe qualifies would be Ranma since that features a lot of genderbending (I believe, I haven't watched it).
This season is barren when it comes to yuri and boy's love series with neither tag having a single series on AniList for this season. The only thing is that there is a compilation movie of the Winter 2024 Boy's Love series Cherry Magic.
Edit: It really is barren this season for LGBT themed series. Just compare this Fall season to the other 2024 seasons. The number of series with the "LGBTQ+ Themes" tag on AniList:
| Season | No. of Shows with LGBTQ+ Tag | |
| :-: | | Winter | 10 | | Spring | 12 | | Summer | 9 | | Fall | 1 |
The numbers comparison is a little skewed, I think because more tags get added as an anime goes on. Some of the shows that are included in those previous lists are a little dubious to me - from just the stuff I know, Delusional Monthly Magazine shouldn't be there at all, and stuff like Tonari no Yokai-san, Windbreaker, and Mashle make the cut because they have a bi, trans, and non-binary supporting character respectively (Windbreaker's having almost no screen time at all). I'd guess by the end of the season a few of the current shows will get that type of "there's queer people in there somewhere" tag. We're definitely short on anime about queerness, though.
Yeah, I just went back and took an actual look at some of the shows listed in those seasons (I was just counting before) and the tag is pretty liberally applied. Some of the series really surprised me including Dungeon People, Shikanoko, and 'Tis Time for Torture Princess. I can't really remember any LGBT themes from any of those shows.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Huh! I thought it seemed lacking, comparatively, but I wasn't sure if I was missing some titles.
Thanks for the info!
Maybe How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer?
The crossdressing girls had the guys confused / questioning their sexuality. They are ultimately straight though.
interesting, thanks!
