Anime to watch when you're sick and your brain doesn't work. Watch it dubbed.

Anime list with heterochromia MC

Long haired anime boys gotta be my favourite gender. This is a love letter to all the hot anime men who have long hair (and maybe also boyfriends - not all of them though!).

Anime where the main premise or characters are related to organized crime.

On Mal, There are over 1000 Shonen anime listed, 1000 Seinen anime listed, 491 Shoujo anime listed... and 150 Josei anime listed. The amount of Josei anime in circulation is extremely disproportionate to the amount of other Demographics, which is sad for all the Josei lovers out there.

To cope, I decided to create an interest stack with anime that I THINK can pass as Josei anime despite not having the tag, due to certain criteria such as:

-Written by a woman
-Complex + mature themes/relationships
-Well written female characters, of course!

The Josei Demographic is extremely varied, with romantic shows like one would expect such as Hakuouki and Kakiriyo, to action anime with an almost Shonen feel like 07-Ghost and Saiyuuki.

Same thing as the manga list

Featuring main or important characters voiced by Seki Tomokazu.

(Willing) cross-dressing characters who do NOT identify as transgender. Characters forced to cross-dress or cross-dress for disguise are not included. Some are debatable.

Stack for anime that feature men crossdressing as women for whatever reason ✨
Made specifically for those too lazy to scroll through the crossdressing tag on MAL (which includes both m2f and f2m crossdressing unlike the idols tag which does separate them;;; which doesnt make sense to me but alas)

Disclaimer than this does NOT include actual transgender or heavily trans-coded anime (ex. hourou musuko, senpai wa otokonoko, etc), this stack is solely for anime in which crossdressing is treated as a hobby or comedy gag instead of an actual gender identity (if I accidentally add any anime in here that are explicitly queer in nature, please let me know! I have obviously not watched every show on this stack)

This list doesn't include anime that feature crossdressing as a one-off comedy gag and then never again, it needs to be at least somewhat relevant to the plot to land a spot on here.

No spoiler tag BUT before you scroll please be aware that I did put in the names of every crossdressing character in this stack so if you wanna be surprised then maybe don't scroll <3

Crossdressing (Female --> Male) stack: To be added because I haven't made it yet <3
