Queer anime was my safe space before I came out. I'm so glad you're sharing your opinions on this one, particularly the BL trope of "insisting" when consent isn't absolute. Appreciate you & happy 2023 Andy :))
@@AndyVillin I could!! 😅But I think it might be a good idea for you to find one on your own, based on the sub-genre you're looking for. (Keep in mind that queer content in Japan is socially taboo, so same-sex intimacy is often marketed towards cis gendered females.) If you're looking specifically for male/male storylines, look up recs in these genres: yaoi, shonen-ai, bara, & BL. Each sub-genre tries to scratch a specific 'itch' in the queer diaspora. Let us know what you discovered if you have the time!
Hello, Andy. Its great to see you upload so many videos in quick succession. I remember when I heard about this film for the first time. At that time, I thought "Oh, its about gay people. Well, fine, but its not my cup of tea so I'll skip." I guess I was still new what 'gay' even meant. Well, three years and five coming outs later (this isn't proper grammer), this video has prompted me to add the film to the long list of queer movies which I intend to watch once my studies ease down a bit. Also, as someone already mentioned, there may not be too many gay anime but there is certainly a lot of queer manga on the internet. A lot of it is also very explicit but there are many heartwarming stories, too and then you occasionally find some which, while being pornographically explicit, are also wonderfully tender. Also, finally, have you watched 'Kimi no na wa' or 'Your Name' by Makoto Shinkai (it's not a queer film but is beautifully made and it did blow up a few years ago)? Much love from my end. Take care.
I love anime films including spirited away it’s one of my favourites I’m definitely gonna check this out sometime, and no means no means I agree with you 💯❤️
No kidding, right; I was gonna mention Spirited Away, but someone once told me it's not anime hahahaha I grew up with that one. I'd watched it so much I knew it by heart, so my mom would use it to measure time. Whenever we went on a long trip, I'd ask "how far" and she'd say like " two times Spirited Away" and I knew exactly what that meant ahaha
