Gay dubbed anime
Do any of you dislike the old english dub?
Just want to respond to some things:
1. When female monsters-of-the-day are placed in increasingly revealing clothing and have their breasts repeatedly emphasized, that's sexual objectification. When female characters are put in bubble baths with their cleavage on display, that's sexual objectification. When barely pubescent female characters are subjected to up-skirt shots, that's sexual objectification. When barely pubescent female characters are shown naked, whether featureless or not (as in the case of human!Luna having visible nipples during her transformation), that's sexual objectification. This is a series about childish women meant to empower (or at least entertain) an audience of young, impressionable girls. It doesn't need nudity.
2. I find it interesting how some people are so quick to accuse the original dub of homophobia for straight-washing the anime's queer characters, yet completely fall short to recognize that the anime did the same thing to the manga. The 90s anime completely erased Haruka's gender fluidity (a butch woman =
The 20 Best (Healthy) BL Anime on Crunchyroll
The yaoi genre, also known as Boys' Love (BL), has taken off in popularity over the past few years. It's had a cult following since it was first established in the s, but now it's far more out in the open than it's ever been. Popular anime streaming services all have at least some BL anime, and manga can be found in any bookstore shelved beside shōnen and shojo series. With this amount of attention, however, comes a clearer view of the genre's biggest problems.
A lot of BL can be uncomfortable to consume because the relationships too often fetishize predatory, non-consensual, harassing, and even abusive interactions. Popular BL love Dakaichi and The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window suffer from this, as well as classics like Junjou Romantica. As a result, many are seeking BL that don't strongly adhere to the common, and often toxic, tropes that dominate the genre. Crunchyroll has a handful of anime that portray a healthier relationship than the BL standard, arranged from lighter shōnen-ai that hint at yaoi content to full-o
From my memory, it always felt like BL anime existed as a genre for as prolonged as I can remember. Before BL dramas or movies became mainstream, BL animes and mangas were like the first frontier, depicting male romances in fiction even when it was taboo in society.
In anime, the BL genre is closely related to yaoi or shounen ai, which are labels that describe a very similar type of story. Yaoi is more explicit, shounen ai is more innocent, and BL tends to be the best of both worlds. This genre is a popular niche among certain demographics. I don't love using the term fujoshi, which has somewhat negative connections. Let's just say that people with good taste usually see BL animes!
Despite its long history, there is surprisingly not a lot of anime to survey in this genre. Trust me, I've done my research on this topic, searching high and low for some BL anime recommendations. You'd be amazed and disappointed at how little the selection there is compared to all the other genres.
And since the selection is so tiny, this makes it even harder for a good anime series to come along.

im oddly into gay animes, not sure why- im not gay myself but i think i relish shounen ai or yaoi more than i do pire romance. AnYwAYs im more into a &#;get straight to the point&#; kinda vibe, so if youve got something, go for it
also i prefer animes that arent from the 90s and more recent if that helps-
I have friends that are female who like yuri and are straight, I see no problem with it *shrug*.
Anyway, unfortunately, they don&#;t really dub shounen-ai much. I don&#;t realize if the dub actors are too embarrassed or if the sub actors are just too good that they just can&#;t do better! ;D (Trust me no one could EVER verb Usagi-san&#;s voice better from Junjou Romantica! You can&#;t convince me otherwise! His voice is just perfection!) So yeah, I&#;m gonna recommend subbed shounen-ai series, sorry:
