anime for girls/queer folks

[cynderthekitsune]

dunno how else to title this.

there's a reason i've only liked older anime, manga, doujin etc and a very specific kind too - it's the art style.
most modern (and lots of shounen/seinen) anime have a kinda art style that i really don't feel comfortable with.
that's why i loved old-school Vocaloid and Touhou, anime like Lucky Star, and genres like shoujo - because they just feel waayyy more comfortable for me. i also wanna watch Kirby Right Back At Ya! and the Animal Crossing anime (movie?) at some points, but mostly just want some shoujo for starters.
even Toradora! only there for the romance and pretty scenery; K-on! for how relatable it felt, etc.

are there any webrings, communities, fanlistings or etc for me? Pokemon seems to be the only one now!
i just wanna vibe.

especially my autism picks out characters purely if i relate to them or feel on a weird level, usually it's more like a cousin or schoolmate or something, like Roxanne from Pokemon or Yukari from Touhou. and all the things i've saved (if they're characters) are just dumb gags or older funny things.
it's amazing if it's cute or more focused on the vibe.

uhhhhhh.....B stars thats it the rest are all stupid and a waste of my time but to be more clear and less negative yes they draw them with such a wide chest and its very weird and gross sometimes and the way that anime is organized is very restrictive and gender based and that makes it really hard to just make normal cartoons I think you would be hard pressed to find an anime that shownen that doesn't have at least one female character with fan service

B stars is animated in CGI which is different from most anime and it also suffers less from unrealistic portrayals of women because they are all human animal hybrids the story is great and has tons of social commentary and some the characheters are very queer coded there's isn't really any fan services at least not any that I know of but the fans base is very freaky you should be wary of them

I FUCKING LOVE B STARS SO MUCH

oh yeah pretty much this exactly.
there used to be a hell of a lot more shoujo, and old-school Vocaloid and Touhou used to be very comfortable for me. especially with how relatable the characters were, a lot of Touhou fan manga was more focused on the action & story rather than showey, etc. i loved that. now i simply can't go anywhere near a Touhou fan thing, and Vocaloid is either Project SEKAI or it's gross.

yea fanservice is extremeelyyyy common now, though i do remember shoujo used to be a thing at least. more focused on cute, character designs were... more normal? like a woman at best would've maybe looked like someone on Tumblr in 2014 or something, not fanservicey.
i keep bringing up the two (three?) doujin things since those are the only ones i really have. outside of Pokemon (which to be fair has its teeny bits but it's far more focused on action and story) there's absolutely nothing these days.

B Sides looks interesting though!

b Stars was written by a woman and she actually named the bunny girl after herself [I think] I could rant all day about the characters and why I like it so much but that would be annoying to you you should really just give it a watch its really great part 2 of the final season should be coming out soon so don't miss out

Yes I hate fan service so much, exactly why I don't watch anime anymore besides Bstars anyways I guess lain was good too but not in the way that was good to women or queer ppl specifically my sister is a big fan actually so mabey that's another good one I just like Bstars since its so gay sometimes and I admit that I do find the characters really cute more spasificly tho I really like this character he's super pretty and in the manga he makes friends with the bear guy and its really fucking cute oh my god

aprently ppl don't like pina, but I think he's cool

I have zero Idea why that's so big but its really cool that it did that I think its bc of the file type idk

oh yeah exactly most anime these days (if not all of them, i think?) have at least some form of fanservice, it's absolutely nuts. even women who make fem characters - still mildly fanservicey, maybe since it's normalised now? eeh.
Kemono Friends was good though, at least part of it - it's first season is from 2017 and the second season is from 2018 or 2019, but it's worse than the first. i used to have a hyperfixation on it!

i think aside from that i'll probably continue to ask and search for good stuff, especially since i feel like a single being in a world full of anything but. my VRoid avatar isn't big chest she's just... well, me. not tropey, literally just a kemono (hybrid) foxgirl, but that's me in general - i take it as part of the flesh human through therian spectrum, it's closer to normal humans but between furries and humans imo. and i can def understand why so many people feel uncomfortable by it even if it's used in good faith - all anime and doujin today are uncomfortable at best and it's always so fanservicey. even in VRchat and VTubing it's impossible to get away from.

also thank you!! i'll probably watch B-Sides sometime i think.

edit: i think Bocchi the Rock was okay, it wasn't amazing but i think it was alright. but i don't remember clealy much anime from before this year - most probably had fanservice but i was too oblivious to notice lmao
thinking B Sides and PreCure would be okay though!
