>>989This topic always ends up all over the place with wildly different degrees of homo because >opinions.
If I were to narrow it down to something more specific such as creators that were kinda wanky with fujo pandering in interviews and shit, then I know of Tiger & Bunny, Yuri on Ice, and Gundam 00.
Of course as always, actual in-series homo levels are still subject to >opinions, but at the very least the main staff on these are on record straight out of their mouths for transparently egging on fujos.

>>989Is is wrong that omnipandering shows are actually what I consume the most instead of BL? Not even things with obvious fujobaits, but just regular shows where the men are written in a regular "normal" way and the dynamics just simply work.
I had so much TTGL porn saved on my old PC. It was what singlehandedly made me into a fujo.
No.1043
>>1042I get that feeling. Due to the very premise of BL a lot of BL works will just have romance as the entire plot without much else going on and it's not as interesting to read or watch as an adventure/action series.

Dropping Vatican Miracle Examiner here. If you enjoy B-movie shlock and so-bad-its-good cheese this show is pretty fun and might and might ad well be a BL.

>>1467That's because you gave yourself high expectations without even noticing. I watched the first season when I was in high school as it was airing in 2011 and it seemed super gay to me. I didn't know where to find BL doujinshi until way later and didn't even bother with fanfics. It's been so long, I should rewatch it actually. I just watched the first episodes of season 2, no idea if it's good.

I'm bored, I'll write down a list of manga and anime that aren't BL but might as well be, I'll probably complete it little by little and maybe post the list here once I feel like it's complete enough. It's just going to be a personal reference for whenever I feel like watching or reading something but I'm uninspired but if it could potentially help anons, I'll try to make it seem coherent.
>>1042I get it, I like all sorts of stories as long as they're fun and/or well-written enough. As for TTGL I only really liked the first half, what made me watch it until the end was Simon and Kamina's relationship. I lost it when I saw Kamina hug Simon at the very beginning, I just had to see what was going to happen next even if I saw a shit ton of spoilers from when it was airing.
>>2153I watched the first season just a few years ago and forgot to watch the second one, I'm a dumbass. I will try to soon enough.
No.2185
Tactics is in a really grey area of BL vs Not-BL since the authors actually made BL doujinshi of the characters, but was anyone else a fan? A while back I found the manga and was super into it until I got to the end of the scans where the story totally shit the bed with the flashback showing that the MC wanted to fuck his mother as a shota. Yeah, that was certainly a choice. It definitely ruined my image of Kantarou, who I had really liked as a protagonist up to then.
And then I think the manga was on hiatus until like 2019 where the authors were continuing it on Pixiv, and I haven't tabs on it since then, so I don't know if there's been more since.
Anyway, I really enjoyed how balls-to-the-wall the fanservice and shipbait was throughout the manga. So much Haruka bullying, it was great. They just let it fly. So I was pretty disappointed to eventually try the anime and find that the plot was maybe 90% original and although they added some fanservice of their own, they toned down even the bits that were kept, like changing out Haruka in a collar to the kitsune girl, and making Haruka angst over a girl he didn't give a shit about in the manga. The OC loli added to the main cast was also annoying, glad she died.
I do still hope I get to see the end one day. I should reread the manga again just for the rollercoaster again. Also, Sugino best boy.

Whenever I organize my webm folder lately I see this clip of one dumb lad and his octopus.
>>1087I remember the manga of this being more blatant with the best friend being reincarnated into the little dragon. Also shower scenes with the older guy that emphasized that he wanted to vamp-out on the kid, but then they introduce a princess with a matching baby dragon and I lost interest somewhere.
>>1460Started reading this recently. He asks Leon to live in his home, and Leon says "I want to be your friend.", so I'm sure some people will claim that's no homoing, but I'm pretty sure the weight of that sentence is "I want to be your equal in this space nobody judges us in, not a live-in servant you picked up who must bow down whenever someone's watching".
>>2154They're not the ones who got shat on the most.
>>2185I knew a yumejo who was a big fan of Tactics and got very defensive about it not being gay and none of the characters have ever had gay tendencies. I thought it was funny because kid me couldn't get into it, weren't my types even if the subject/genre were.

>>2187>I knew a yumejo who was a big fan of Tactics and got very defensive about it not being gay and none of the characters have ever had gay tendencies.LMAO. Ok, I could see how you could think this if you only watched the anime, but the manga was just so blatant. I swear there were like multiple occasions where some girl would be about to molest Haruka and Kantarou would show up, and there were all those parallels between Haruka's past evil gf and him. I wonder what your friend's reaction to the official doujins would be.
>>2188BRUH. It's embarrassing how RTMI that looks, please don't tell me it's some generic isekai (it probably is, right…)
At least I can probably just read the doujins…
No.2191
>>2190It's not an isekai, but it is a light novel series about a reincarnated maou going to magic school. Which sounds generic as all hell but hear me out: its core appeal is that the MC is comically overpowered, and the author can pull everything and anything out of their ass to solve a bad situation. For example, in S1 he beats up a bully using the beating of his own heart, and when Time itself tries to kill him he has quips like pic related. He has a fanclub of school girls literally singing his praises and producing high quality artworks of him in the buff, and despite every god in their in-universe canon being out to stop him once and for all his priority is mama's mushroom gratin and a happy class group.
Personally I love seeing ballsy "no u" bullshitting and what complete nonsense they'll come up with next time. S2 has had a voice actor change that's got people pissed off, and needs revising the first season to make sense, but I'm excited to see how much stupider they can get. Reading LN fans talk about it is fun because they always have this tone of "oh ho ho you ain't seen shit yet", like they're really giddy to show you the height of absurdity.

It's a pretty good work but deeply unpopular even with fujos, maybe if it had an anime. Author herself is clearly a fujos,I think she she ships Zechs/Aster or maybe even Zechs/Leon though I do not like the second one.

Still I really loved and still do love it. It's so funny that in the manga Ban is actually tinier than Ginji. They make him out to be tall and intimidating in the anime when Ginji is definitely bigger. Imo Ginji being bigger and still sheepishly hunching down and relying on Ban to help him is much cuter.

>>2216I don't remember much of it since I watched it looong ago but it was a comfy watch, i didn't care at all about the fights, i was all about the lighthearted moments and the buddy-buddy relationship Ban and Ginji had going. I also loved the OPs and EDs, -especially- the second ED. Uff, it was so fucking corny and gay i loved it.

>>2216I trying to watch the anime last year and I knew something was off! Stupid teen chubby chaser me was always attracted to Ginji because I remember him in the manga looking like you could use the guy as a mattress, he was so wide and soft. The anime he sometimes looks like he shrunk and his clothes might fall off, so it didn't quite match how I remembered things.
