Is there any shounen anime out there with at least one male gay character in it who isn't an offensive stereotype, and who doesn't die?

I am indeed looking for a recommendation. Pretty saddened though that the recommendations I've gotten so far does not seem to be available on DVD anywhere. :'(

AgK is pretty much what i have in mind when i hear Shounen anime .. is it not a fighting-centered shounen you had in mind or what's the problem with AgK?

if you want just the gay characters, there are better choices in shoujo and josei

I just don't know if there is any male gay character in Akame Ga Kill. :/ You seemed to imply there was only a gay character in Bulat, but not in Akame Ga Kill? Sorry if I've misunderstood.

*Edit*
Oh, wait... I looked it up now - Bulat is a character IN Akame Ga Kill. XD Sorry. LOL

The question is, does this really count as a "shounen anime"? I might be gay and want a male gay character in an anime I watch - but I also love action, and I love seeing characters fight one another and stuff. ^^'

... I'm sorry, it's just that shounen animes is my cup of tea. ; ^ ; I mean... is it really too much to ask for to get proper gay acceptance in a fight-oriented anime? :(

It's an action show.

Shounen ≠ action.

If you want action, then specify "action". Because that's what action is.

All "shounen" really means, is what magazine the manga was published in. It has nothing to do with action.

Q//^//Q; Oh god, I'm so stupid... I didn't know. >_<; I just thought shounen meant all boy animes, therefor those more action-oriented... damn, now I know I've asked the wrong question. I'm so very very sorry...

Yaoi is also manxman, Yuri is FemalexFemale, so you can use that term instead of "Gay" if you want to specify.

That is NOT what I am looking for. Yaoi has nothing but gay in it - and ALWAYS pairs up a short effeminate petite androgynous girly submissive guy with a tall masculine strong manly dominant guy.

I just want some gay acceptance in something else. Like how Haku was in Naruto... almost. But not only was he depicted as a demented villain,

eh, going with the synopsis, i wouldn't say that Ai no Kusabi and Monochrome Factor are really that grounded in realism

there's also many shounen series which are more popular with the girls because of bishounen main cast, though i don't think any of them have canon gay characters
like kuroko no basuke, get backers, hitman reborn, haikyuu..
but somehow i feel you should already know that

Also, Ai no Kusabi is a nice series. It's a sci-fi dystopia which means it's not realistic but it definitely isn't fantasy or magic crap. It's also not stereotypical.

That is NOT what I am looking for. Yaoi has nothing but gay in it - and ALWAYS pairs up a short effeminate petite androgynous girly submissive guy with a tall masculine strong manly dominant guy.

I don't think you're looking hard enough. There are plenty of series with more realistic pairings, not the typical girly submissive uke with the hunky uke.

Haku wasnt gay at all. You are generalizing an entire genre, never do that. Yaoi can be a subfocus in the anime, doesnt mean the entire anime is focusing on romance. Neither does it even mean romance really.

Seen the those particular episodes like 6+ times, there is no hint of romance in that shit. Thats like saying naruto and kakashi are gay.


Yep definitely gay~

I only remember character "Gray" (male) stripping every time. But I don't remember any gay characters. Someone confirm pl0x.

And I'd recommend 07-Ghost.

Ayane Justine is apparently clearly hinted at being gay - heard he even got turned on seeing three male characters naked on a 3D display in the manga.

Though, while I appreciate your recommendations - it appears neither of those are possible to find on DVD. :/

I find that to be a bit of an unfair question... but if you really need to know - I'm a collector. And I value owning hardware copies of something - makes me know for certain I'll always have it. And there's simply just something special for me to own physical copies - it's a thing with us collectors, I guess.

Again, I'm a collector. I want official proper copies of it. Not the least because I want to show my support to the creators and give them my money, but also because you can get versions of things on real DVD you can't get by transferring. Half the beauty with it is to see what package they use to store the DVDs in.

... why do I need to justify myself about this so much anyway? :/
