Hentai can easily go both ways. The Girls forM magazine for example has some pretty hardcore femdom themed stories.

Funny enough, outside of hentai, it's usually reverse harems, often based on otomege or shoujo manga, both usually full of bishounens and both aimed at females. Weird that many of these so called misogynistic anime are aimed at the female demographic in the first place, almost as if they know there are girls out there that enjoy to read/watch/play them with the intent of fantasizing about being dominated.

Where Oremonogatari isn't that. It is very submissive. Very demure girl. very much exactly perfect girl.


what? no it isn't.. the whole deal series is about the imperfect man who astonishing by direct approach of a girl... submasive? the last arc is about the girl want more where the male is complitely clueless...


Nope. It is really misogynistic. Fetishized virginity vs. Bitchez is the worst. It is the virgin/slut dichotomy with pretty paint. It also has a weird "nice guys" fantasy too. and the entire #notlikeothergirls. ug.

So you didn't notice the girls who were all bitches in the background? Kay, guess I pay attention to minor characters.

There was also the first episode where she was on the train and she didn't cry out, and this is realistic misogyny which is present in Japan.

All these bitches like my pretty friend suna who is so perfect. Oh those girls were bitches don't worry about them that is why I said no. Because they were all hoz bros before hoes feel good shit.

I really wanted to pie all those characters in the face.

I think the fact that unlike Diabolik Lovers the fact that everything is passed off as "normal" is the problem I see with it.

"All those other girls are bitches" "Look how nice this not like other girls is" "I turned em down because bros before hoes" "All bitches talk about people behind their back" .

I basically think all romance anime have at least some misogyny. What annoys me about Oremonogatari is that it is more ingrained cultural kind... It isn't like something Like Keijo which actually is harmless fun even if the women are used to titilate the audience and you know this going in. But it is like eating McDonalds when you know it is bad for you vs eating at a fancy restaurant claiming it's meals are super healthy only they actually aren't and are worse for you than McDonalds.

Remember, I said Death Note is my most misogynistic anime choice. This is only my "seething in the culture it came from" choice.

I can take Oremonogatari seriously as an anime, and I can't take Diabolik Lovers seriously. Do you see the difference?

what's the difference tho? why you take oremonogatari seriously? again, it's not even in oremonogatari , it's everywhere... even more serious like rose of verseillias, the background character talking shit all the time... that's the purpose background character is...

Yeah, Rose of Versailles has LOTS of misogyny. But it doesn't feel reflectant of that culture.It feels historical fiction which just feels different. Oniisama e is homophobic. Doesn't mean it isn't good but it is homophobic. So is Evangelion if you really start breaking it down. And actually Evangelion is so sexist, people respond to it in sexist ways. Which puts it on par with how sexist Death Note is.

Oremonogatari probably commits way bigger sins than being any ist. And that is boring.

I don't see how GATE is Misogynist. Okay except for that one scene at the second half & stuff.
However, other than that it didn't demean any other female characters. More like actually empowers them.
Although I want to put my own version of a anime that I think is misogynist...its Maken Ki well season 2 to be specific.

Also, lets not forget about Farnese and rapehorse...


Guts got raped as a child too. Berserk has lots of rape because it's a fucked up world in there.
thank you, if you didn't say it I would have, I'll also add a certain antagonist who sold his bootyhole, berserk is dark and rape has a double bonus of being dark and showing nudity

My favorite misogynist anime is Mad Bull 34, totally over the top, fucking hilarious. The first OVA episode is titled "Hit and Rape".

I doubt any anime creators are intentionally trying to misogynistic or anything though, it's mostly just based on people's perceptions/opinions.

To be fair, KonoSuba is only misogynistic if you put yourself in Kazuma's shoes... who is very full of himself and an absolutely terrible person. The show itself realizes it and plays it for comedy by making him an uncomfortable character to self-insert and a wonderful character to laugh at. Just like the rest of the cast actually.

Devils Line just pulled off 'I thought silence was concent' and had like 3 rapey scenes in 2 episodes so far so I'd say that might be a candidate.
how is rape glorified? (Besides with the 2 MC's which so far was just a forceful kiss and an annoying trend with anime vampire romance apparently) And that line was used by an obvious rapist who didn't care she was struggling hard against him, if anything they are trying too hard to show that line in a negative light, like there isn't a difference between someone struggling against you and someone going along with it (though no non-rapey person would phrase it that way to begin with lol)

Even if I'm not a fan of the predictable manner Casca was handled post-rape in Berserk, it still doesn't belong in the discussion, because there are FAR more blatant series out there, and plenty of the female characters in Berserk don't fall into cookie-cutter molds, particularly later on.

Gantz is a series that is definitely up there. Female characters exist solely as laughable stereotypes and/or love interests/crushes for the male characters. Kei and Rei are probably two of the worst written manga/anime characters in the past several decades.

While I have definitely seen anime that can be described as chauvinistic and sexist, there aren't many that seem to genuinely hate women from my experience. Violence Jack: Evil Town is the only one which springs to mind. Its attractive cast of female characters are devoid of any personality or agency and exist solely for the OVA's prolonged, gratuitous rape scenes.

2.Nobuyuki Sugou - Sao series
Human experimenting, mentally abusive and a sadistic freak.

3.Lord Embryo - Cross Ange series
He just wants to have sexual intercorse with the main Heroine.

And the Killing bites series.

There are more, but these are exceptionally sick.


Cross Ange is an interesting one because Lord Embryo was explicitly stated by the creators at Sunrise of being a parody of Otaku stereotypes come to life. Ange also outshines two of her principle counterparts (Jill, Salia) in part due to her NOT being obsessed with pleasing a dude. While I definitely wouldn't accuse it of being a feminist series or even an egalitarian one, it's far from the worst offender out there.

Bleach tends to have faux-action girls, who serve the role of

2) training a stronger dude
3) losing one-on-one fights to dudes at a severe clip
4) fanservice

No worries I approve of it. I love it in all honesty.

I hope these are adequate examples:

1.Cross Ange (military prison for women where they are forced to protect the very people who exiled them)

2.Dorei-ku the animation (women are manipulated by others and treated as convenient)

3.Mnemosyne (generaly depicting women as tools)

4.Goblin Slayer (violence and abuse towards women, by non humans)

5.Shigurui (at the mercy of dangerous and unstable men)

6.Elfen Lied (extreme violence and abuse towards pubescent girls)

7.Kamisama Dolls (women forced in to submission by traditions and the selfishnes of those around them)

8.Zettai Shougeki: Platonic Heart (at the end of the anime, women are manipulated in a disgusting way)

I'm sure there are more, that I'm forgetting, but I hope these are close to what you are looking for.

Kizuoibito with great ease. In the story, three different women are raped by MC. Each of them falls in love with him because of it. Two of them sacrifice their lives to save him later, one marries him. That easily beats other competitors from the exploitation genre such as Violence Jack, Crying Freeman, or Golgo 13.

In modern anime, Conception comes to mind.

School days? All females in this anime are utterly disgusting bitches who fall in love with utterly disgusting scumbag just because screenwriters wanted so.
I agree with @UrbanSpaceman, just having women fall for an anti-social asshole isn't misogyny yet. Marriage swindling and sad stories of depending on abusive partners are not unheard of in the real world. Thus nope, Aoki Honoo is not misogynist.
zieek said:
5.Shigurui (at the mercy of dangerous and unstable men)
Disagreed, it's a realistic depiction of the role of women in a feudal, medieval society. They were legally closer to property than to equal humans. Cudos to Shigurui to make this point clear. In particular, it doesn't glorify the historic fact by any means, quite the opposite is true.

I'll hard disagree with you about Goblin Slayer. You're essentially complaining that the villains of the story do villainous things, which is narrow-minded especially considering that the main character's only goal is to stop said villainous thing from happening. I could understand if it was just a group of guys going about saving helpless women, but since the main party is half male and half female and it deals more with the goblins themselves rather than their victims, I don't think Goblin Slayer can be classed as misogynistic.

Sure you are right about the first few things you said. But the goblins simply kill the men not even being that cruel or sadistic. While the human females are not simply raped for the sake of childbirth. They are tortured, maimed, have their limbs broken or amputated, the goblins do this because it excited them. Or at the very least, because they simply enjoy inflicting pain specifically to women, isn't that misogynistic

Kizuoibito Disagreed, it's a realistic depiction of the role of women in a feudal, medieval society. They were legally closer to property than to equal humans. Cudos to Shigurui to make this point clear. In particular, it doesn't glorify the historic fact by any means, quite the opposite is true.


Okay fair enough, but what about the scene with the doughter

Misogyny is an abstract generic term for socio-cultural attitudes towards the lower relevance or value of women or the higher relevance or value of men. From Greek misos for "hate" and gyne for "woman".

Most religious texts and societal rules from the past are misogynist, including but not limited to Christianity and "Western Culture". Lest we forget, in Switzerland women can only vote since 1971. And the scenes you describe are "just sexualized" violence against women. Rest assured feudal societies did the same violent cruelties at equal gender opportunity to all peasants.

The point I want to make is that depicting historical reality doesn't make the anime itself misogynist. That, at least in my reading, requires the anime to take sides and endorse the respective messages. Which is why Conception is misogynist in my reading, as it reduces women to breeding machines.

The most misogynistic anime I've ever seen is Gyo. A lot of the examples here are at most fetish or male savior fantasies, which are still gross in their own ways, but this one shows some active vitriol against a female character just because she's promiscuous.

Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji

If this isn't it, Idk what is. This is the only anime that's earned a 1 from me, and you can see how difficult that can be.
Though I do blame myself to watching through it completely.
