Not really characters like Ed from Bebop who are intentionally designed to look fluid or non-binary.

Pretty much every bishounen 90's character.

My brother thought Mokuba from Yugioh was a girl

My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Frieza because he had an old lady voice in the dub and looked quite feminine in his first form lol.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but Eko Sasaki.



The whole time I thought she was a boy, but then near the end of the series, someone casually calls her a girl, and I was just like... "oh... ok"

I am very bad with kids.
Chiriko from Fushigi Yuugi. Nuriko point plot is that he dresses as a woman, but Chiriko is supposed to be a boy in the script, and is dubbed by a girl, and looks like a girl.

I had the same problem with the whole cast Zatchbell, except the horse.

When I first started Assassination Classroom, I definitely thought Nagisa was quite girly, but I guess I figured out quickly he's a dude because he does wear a male uniform. Although he's got kinda big hips which further confused me lol.



Although it's later revealed that that's definitely intentional for his character.

To this day I'm still confused whether Grell Sutcliff is a women or just very gay for Sebastian

I remember when I was watching the first couple episodes of Utena I couldn't tell if Miki was meant to be male or female since he's fairly androgynous and the show's already pretty gay lol.



I also experience that confusion a lot with okama characters, especially in older stuff. Though I guess with those the gender confusion is usually part of the point, even if the author included the character for a homophobic (or transphobic?) gag.

I think François from Dr. Stone can qualify here. I often call François a woman, because of François' mannerisms and barman attitudes.

I thought Junior from Read or Die: The TV was a girl until the last few episodes I finally found out he was a boy.

After seeing the title, the first character that came to my mind was Ed, and it was never revealed, haha.

My first exposure to JoJo part 5 was the "gang dance" panels, and I'll admit at first glance I assumed Narancia Ghirga was a girl (in my defense this was before the anime adaptation was announced and the anime gave him more defined muscles)

Makes me wonder if his stand is called "Aerosmith" because the band of the same name has a song called "Dude Looks Like A Lady"...
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.
