Happened to me only once. I thought the Messiah from Shinsekai Yori was a girl until I apparently found out it was a boy.

Nagisa from AssClass for a short while.

He still cute as fuck. And I still ship him with Karma.
TEN COMMANDMENTS:
1) If Evangelion and Psycho-Pass are his only 10s, he probably also worships Tool and smells like cheesy puffs 2) Freudian psychosis =/= good writing 3) Moe blob art style is only ok in pure slice-of-life comedy 4) It's ok to enjoy shounen. Having fun is allowed 5) It is not ok to enjoy isekai (jk, it is, I just fucking hate it) 6) Creator breakdown =/= good writing 7) A story does not have to be wrapped up with a bow. Life is messy, why would a good story need to be tidy? 8) InuYasha is proto-Twilight 9) Ecchi CAN be good, but is almost always an abomination 10) If God is real, They allowed Super Kid to happen, so fuck Them

Quite a good number

Nagisa (Assassination Classroom)
Ferris/Felix (Re:Zero)
Envy (FMA:B)
Ruka (Steins;Gate)
Alluka and Kalluto and Kurapika (HxH 2011)
Griffith

Off the top of my head

Basically most traps and also any male character who puts on lipstick

(ones posted after also confused me too)

Without counting traps, the first time I watched Naruto Shippuden, I thought Deidara was a girl. Pretty stupid for my part because he doesn't even looks like a girl that much apart for his hair, but I wasn't accustomed to the androgyny of some anime characters in those years.
The same can be applied to Luppi from Bleach and Kazuki from GetBackers.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned this one yet:

Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

Hmm... I watched the dubbed and I could have sworn I heard one of the humunculi called Envy a "he". You're right. Wiki mentioned genderless, so I must have been hallucinating.

"2003" version states Envy had a male gender

Recent one:
Shouta-kun from Maid Dragon seemed like a girl in the opening. Until they introduced him in the anime, and he turned out to be a boy.

Old ones:
The kid in the "silence" card episode of Cardcaptor Sakura was a convincing boy until it turned out she is a girl.

I was sure Fisheye from Sailor Moon is a woman.

Middle-range:
Yukimura from Haganai is confusing.

If I hadn't checked Kurapika's bio, I would've continued to believe he (still sounds weird) is a girl.
And if robots count, then QT from Space Dandy. His voice especially in the dub sounds very feminine.

Same. The first few episodes, I fully thought that Nasu was a woman. Didn't help that he was drawn to be more attractive than practically everyone else in the show.

I think Togashi confirmed she's a she. The confusing one is Alluka. Within the manga itself, Alluka's been talked about as both male and female.

Nachos from Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto.
It was only when he was referred to as "lui" (he) that I understood he's a boy. But he is not a trap, like it is not portrayed as if he was trying to come off as girl - it's just that he looks as he looks, and he is voiced by a female but that happens often, also for characters not meant as trap or sth.


And also I am convinced that Galetto is a dog, not a cat.

I thought Kino from Kino's Journey was a guy (I actually still don't know which gender Kino is 100% to be honest xP). For a split second (until I read more into it) I also thought Ernesti Echevarria from Knights & Magic was a girl...and that isn't even out yet (positive thing for me, I like traps). Also Chihiro Fujisaki...then certain things happened ;)

It was in a manga, but I nominate Kurapika from Hunter X Hunter.

@karambia Are you french? Because the french "dubbers" genuinely thought it was a girl for a good dozen of episodes, giving Shun a female comedian.
edit @karambia Well, since it took them only a "few" episodes to notice, at least our company made a change after that.
Wow, clichés of females/males. :D

no, I'm indonesian. Lol really? They trapped themselves :D ?

Idk if the actual case was the same, but I remembered it was female dubber - or did I just pretty young to notice any different as shun himself was act pretty feminine all along the series - and we don't have an equal he/she when refer to other ppl
Take me years to realize.

Yes..I watched Sailor Moon as a kid and back then I really thought that Haruka was a He...


I had a crush on him and thought that he's more handsome than Mamoru..until I found out that he is actually a she, but I was so innocent and so I was in denial for a while.

This is the same thing with Alluka from Hunter x Hunter (2011).I see Alluka as a girl but everyone in the Anime call Alluka ''he''.

Not gonna count characters that are deliberately set up that way. Although I'll mention Sailor Uranus got me as a kid.

First time I saw Silver when I was like seven thought he was a girl.

I blame the sprite for that.


Thought Terry was a girl for a while until I heard other characters use masculine pronouns for him. He was voiced by a woman, so there's that.


Throughout all of Jojo part 5 I was expecting a reveal that Narancia was actually a girl, until a flashback to him as a "young boy".
