Mmm, not at all. Some of my favorite characters work better in the gender they are, imo.

No. Most of my favorite's are in their because they're hot females. It just wouldn't be the same if they were dudes/

For females no I wouldn't like those character that much, when it comes to my most favorite male characters I guess I would like most of them except for Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Aizen x).

Probably not because my preferences on male and female characters are very different.

Still like? Obviously yes. Would they still be in my favorites? Most of them for sure. I mean, I can't confirm the gender of watchdog man, and whether John is a guy or not makes no difference.
Ysley female version is just Miku, so if both were female, I'd have one of them.
Reigen would be fine, the Beyblade and Buddyfight characters too.
I'm not sure if Kamina would be #1, or if Ryuunosuke would be there, and I have no clue about prince Baka (that whole game planet would be completely different, and he might or might not land in my favorites).

So, yes for 8/10, and maybe for the other 2.

Would be nonsense. I can relate to loli characters but not shota characters. If all anime characters that exist had their genders reversed then my favorites characters would be completely different. I would probably like HxH a whole lot more.

I'd absolutely hate most of them then lol in fact, you'd see a rage poll post here about their character tropes then.In general for all male charas acting like their female equivalent, they tick me off. Verbally abusive? Cheeky? Violent tsundere? Stalker?ewwwww; Yandere...oh wait that's called a creepy dude! burn them all with fire!

Well, sex appeal is kinda important. But it'd be nice to have more respectable male leads, the loser MC trope is way too popular...

Yes! Because I don’t choose my favorite characters solely based on how cute they are or on their waifu status….ok fine maybe a little bit. But! They are my favorites because of their writing and personality so of course I’ll like them!

No. Part of their gender is what makes me like them. Unless it's surprising me.

For the most part, probably yes, because I mainly like them for their story and character writing, but I feel like that would sometimes clash with a different gender so they wouldn't "feel" as good if they were written as the other gender?

Trafalgar Law - absolutely, his story would work just as well if he had been a woman.
Jinbe - probably not, he just has some natural authority that wouldn't feel as natural on a female character; plus, with how Oda draws female characters, I don't think I would be able to respect him since he'd either be sexualized or a caricature.
Wei Wuxian - I read enough genderflipped fanfiction to know I'd love him just as much if he was a girl, lol.
Hikari - sure
Miranda - probably not. She's in my favourites because I relate to her so much, because we have so much in common, and I don't think I'd feel the same if she was a guy and therefore much more different from me.
Oikawa - maaaybe. I really really like him for his story, but I also would have totally had a crush on him if he was a real guy, so...
Tsukishima - oh absolutely.
Lili - I don't think her story would work if she was a guy, since it is specifically ABOUT her struggles as a girl that has neither authority nor physical power.
Fujiwara no Sai - I'd adore him as a beautiful lady ♡
Tanimoto - yes

So overall, 6 yes, 3 no and 1 maybe.

Lmao you'd have it the worst out of all of us considering the lineup. There's already a lot of pain there, but the pleasure would be snuffed out, absolute hell.

It depends..

I would literally hated them if Atsushi and Yoichi were a female because I like naive and too innocent characters if they are male.. I really dislike too naive or damsel in distress female characters.

I would’ve hated Ugetsu too if he was a female.. he is already a problematic character lol..

But it totally works with characters like Dazai/Vanitas/Angelo/Ash/Jyugo/Kunikida/Reki.. I would love them even if they were a female

Maybe. Revolutionary Girl Utena would have to be written differently tho to keep the same message, as the anime serves as an exploration and critique of gender roles and the expectation for people to conform to them.

I'm just saying that if anime characters had their genders reversed I would be watching completely different anime than I do now. Thankfully I don't have to do that.

Highly unlikely. Replying yes to the question is the same as thinking that character designs don't matter and only their stories and personalities do, and who do we want to fool here, I don't think that's remotely the case for most anime fans.

Indeed. i, for one, am far too linear and backwards in my thinking to ever entertain the notion
of somehow fooling myself into seeing Konomi Yuzuhara (see Avatar) as the same person had she suddenly up and morphed into Mark Whalberg or something...
