I had to force myself to persevere through some mediocre parts, but the episodes are under 15 minutes so it's doable. The show is decent, writing and animation are okay. Without the gay subtext I'd say it's pretty close to conventional shonen. A Japanese dub called Spritpact with longer episodes is currently airing on Crunchyroll, but people seem to be reacting badly to it so I'm not sure if it's any good. Overall quality: Unfortunately I've only been able to find so-so fansubs, but they're mostly good enough. Queer representation: I'd say its gay subtext is definitely closer to queerbait than a genuine representation of a gay relationship, but it's more overt than other queerbait while also being less fanservice oriented.įanservice: Two guys kiss, but for a contrived reason related to magic. Ling Qi (action, supernatural) is actually Chinese, but it's obviously heavily influenced by Japanese anime. Tentatively 9/10, but I need to rewatch it. Overall quality: Fantastic writing, really interesting setting. They're all underage, so I found it a bit weird and didn't really linger on it. Might also show girls kissing but I don't remember. Hover for mild spoilers.įanservice: Shows boys kissing with tongue. However, it doesn't quite treat its queer relationships as fully legitimate. Queer representation: Features multiple gay relationships with both men and women. I still rate it 6/10, but I'd give it at least 7/10 without the ending, and it could have scored 8 or 9 with a good ending. Overall quality: Pretty good until the last episode, when it turns into a baffling mess of confused nonsense. Doesn't fall into the classic queerbait or BL stereotypes.įanservice: Two on-screen kisses between men. Queer representation: It features two male characters in a romantic context and is known for showing two on-screen kisses between men. No 6 (action, sci-fi) probably comes up the most when looking for anime like YOI. Below are the shows I've watched post-YOI that I see as having some kind of queer subtext or explicit representation. Obviously my first stop was BL/yaoi, but then I remembered it's mostly fujoshi-oriented rape porn and gave up on that.

I've deliberately avoided mentioning plot points and specific characters, and things that might give away plot points are in spoiler tags.Īfter watching YOI, I went on a binge trying to find other anime with gay characters.
