would you watch CGDCT if it was with some boys?

GrandWave said:

So you want specifically CGDCT with action battles in it? Then watch Girls und Panzer or any military loli focused anime like Stroke Witches and the bunch, or Princess Principle or smt.

BlackMagickz said:


Imagine comparing NGE to those childish anime made for pedophiles lol you're weird af for thinking they're even remotely similar.

BlackMagickz said:


because lots of anime fans are loli loving pedophiles. boys don't do it for them.

Well they aren't that Cute and most of the time are they are doing Stupid Things...but on the technical side the show also has Cute Evil Girls Doing Evil Things thus it's disqualified.
...and yeah, I have it in my favourites too.

BlackMagickz said:


Never said it makes someone a pedophile. But it's no surprise why there are a lot of anime fans that ARE pedophiles. Because you watch shows like that and develop an attraction to little girls. You even have people like The Anime Man and Digibro calling little girls their waifus. This community is pathetic.

I do get what you mean, the community's a massive red flag. However, there's a fine line separating sexualization of a character and saying a character is cute. The way you're saying it seems like you're implying people who watch cgdct are pedos in general. I mean, people who don't sexualize characters still exist in the community no? There are those who watch cgdct for the lols and there are those who want to digest something light-hearted. Nothing too shabby. Now if you watch mitsuboshi colors and see kotoha in a suggestive way, entirely different from how other people normally see her, then you're sus af. But if people say she's cute(nothing sexual) and makes the show a lot funnier, wouldn't you just be accusing them of something they're actually not?

It won't be a CGDCT then. Such anime with all male casts are usually heavily aimed at females hence not for everyone.

Maybe? I would have to see one that is as good as Non Non Biyori. I don't think I would enjoy one spewing cuteness like GochiUsa.

Kind of funny when you think an anime portraying male cuteness like an all male GochiUsa or something similar would still with out a doubt be voiced by an all female cast. Also the other issue is that most boys that are cute in anime are often borderline traps if not totally traps and regardless of that are most definitely very effeminate. I think there might be too many stereotypes and people not willing to even try something of the sort.

It's inherently much harder for a cast of all boys to hinge on a "cuteness" factor in the same way cgdct shows do. Usually it requires a balanced cast to bring out that aspect like Acchi Kocchi or Tanaka-kun comes to mind. Since all male casts tend to focus on a pretty boy aspect opposed to a cuteness aspect (because they're targeted at female audiences generally ie. Free or Meganebu).

But also probably the most famous example of this idea would be Hetalia which I haven't watched but probably will eventually.

When they learn how to make boys cute and interesting, not just wooden bishounen clones of each other, as it usually happens.

J_Tea said:
Honestly I either need to open my eyes more or Anime needs more CBDCT.

HeruruMeruru said:
Cute guys doing cute things absolutely exist (Boueibu, Hetalia, Uchitama...), but I find them just as boring.

Give me cute animals or monsters doing cute things any day! I would die for more stuff like How To Keep a Mummy.

Mirai said:
I'd rather watch cute boys doing cute things than cute girls doing cute things.

epidemia78 said:
yeah, yeah but...

boys aren't cute.

zombie_pegasus said:
I'd watch cute boys doing cute things. I've watched a couple before. There's one about dog boys and cat boys that was really cute.

54bubbles said:
Absolutely! More series like Sanrio Danshi and Uchitama, please.

tappdancing786 said:
Yep, I've already seen one (IDOLiSH7, since it is counted to be in the genre)

BlackMagickz said:
No. I watch anime to see good stories. Not to watch children doing children things. You're also sus af for watching shows like that.

Nichibros, well frankly I don't think they're good-looking enough. If something like Cromartie High School isn't invoked I see no reason why Nichibros should.

Apu-Hasan said:

yes it has. But it's very good slice of life anime.

Auron_ said:
Yes, as a fan of SoL I'd even prefer an all-boys version at this point as I have already seen my fair share of all-girl cast SoL and want some breath of fresh hair. There really is very few CBDCT, and even less that I'd consider to be a close parallel.

• Some people said Tanaka-kun but somehow forgot main cast besides Tanaka and Ōta are all girls.
  
• Idol stuff I'd argue doesn't work either due to the protagonist. Same with reverse harem
  
• Free!! feels a tad too eventful for the title, I've always imagined CGDCT as more tackling the mundanities of life in a tasteful fashion, instead of high-stakes stuff. If Free counts, then Keijo would too, which I didn't see anyone refer to it that way ever.
  
• Nichibros, well frankly I don't think they're good-looking enough. If something like Cromartie High School isn't invoked I see no reason why Nichibros should.

I think the closest there is to guy counterpart of CGDCT is probably Kimi to Boku, Tsuritama, and Meganebu

Apu-Hasan said:

You mean the hetero isn't part of cute boys/girls doing cute things anime? or it conflicts the genre?

Apu-Hasan said:

That's a conflicted way of thinking. IDK what do you mean or maybe you're a fan. But I don't think hetero clashes with the genre. I mean like the relationship never happens.
Bruh.😐
