@RobertBobert I never mentioned any shippping. From my experience I affirm this opinion because many cliches and anime tropes are not applicable. The best mangas and above all light novels I've read include female leads I suppone he authors have to be more ingenious by not being able to resort to the same storie structure.

In this case, it is even worse, because if earlier your opinion was simply biased due to fetishes, now it is simply weird, since having over a thousand different titles behind me I can confirm that this is nonsense and the quality of work does not depend on MC's gender. Not to mention, many female lead titles do this solely for the fanservice and fall into the cliché storm more than any male lead title. Compare the average CGDCT or all-female ecchi to romantic comedy like Horimiya or Oregairu.

The shows with a male protagonist standouts because today they give them a good production, lately they are trying hard to make them stand out with all the sakuga possible despite the fact that they are trite series for example: kimetsu, jujutsu kaisen, fire force (this actually decreased the fanservice a bit). While the others do not receive a good production like kumo desu ga nanika... watch another isekai in the same season with a male lead as mushoku tensei or slime and you will notice a HUGE difference.

Also the fanservice is often added the anime, for example Majo no tabi they preferred to put a story of foot fetishes instead of the orphan girl that elaina took care of. Clearly there are fanservice shows like "jet girls" which are garbage I do not deny that.

Anyway, every time I hear about Nana x Michiru, I have a hard time holding back a laugh, knowing the spoilers and intent of the author.

I bet that if she was a more significant character, then some of the fans would already have declared them canon.

Are quite a few animes (good or bad series) where male protagonist actually is kind of pointless, a lot of shows would be better if they replaced their potato-protagonists with the female lead. Munou na Nana validates that belief.

Potato-females are not much better. Those chicks from Brother's Conflict, Dance With Devils, Diabolik Lovers, Amnesia, etc, were as boring-generic and self-insertey as they could, as expected from shoujo anime protags with a reverse-harem.

Nana would be equally an edgyfest with a very inconsistent writting and some cool moments if the protag was a shota for fujos to ship (like half of the MHA and Owari no Seraph fandoms do to their children...ugh), instead of a little girl 4 lesbiobros to do the same. Kyouya and Jin were also the best characters in that show, by a large margin.

Other pearl of old, LoveLab, got way better once they introduced boys as well, regardless of yurishills mass dropping it out of butthurt.

Love Lab, huh. I still remember the endless whining threads of shippers trying to prove that the chemistry between the protagonists was "obvious attraction" or that woke girl called the anime "my lesbian show" when she tried to accuse the authors of being racist due to ganguro joke.

Anyway, every time I hear about Nana x Michiru, I have a hard time holding back a laugh, knowing the spoilers and intent of the author.

Are you surprised by another sexist offensive comment from shippers? It's actually a classic, I wouldn't even be surprised if the author of the comment is a male himself.

Don't know about anime, but people who hate characters because of their gender are definitely ruin anime fandom. Its proven.

If earlier I still tried to take you seriously, then after mentioning Nana you became too fat. Try to be less obvious next time.

I hope there will be only females in this. Male characters often irritates me in anime, so prefer my cute girls

Sasahara, Yuu is doing the mc . She is a angel! And have done voices for many great lesbian characters I adore. If she is going to be in this I will watch.And hope for some sweet Yuri

One of my first CGDCT I watched was Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san . She voiced for Akari. She and her little vampire girlfriend was such a cute lesbian couple,,,YEEEEEEEES

Kito, Akari is also a good girl =) How have voiced for many characters that I like❤❤

And yet another supernatural anime for Akarin, after Kyokou Suiri and Hanako-kun earlier this year.

Already can see myself giving this a super high score. It fits all my niches. Cloverworks has been on point recently.

Dec 20, 2020 12:12 AM by Calal-Chan

The teaser PV looks good, really excited for this anime.

Dec 19, 2020 9:50 PM by MegamiRem

Woah, this looks pretty neat. Studio by CloverWorks and also Re:Zero's music composer. Voice actresses pretty good too.

And hey, it's a slice of life too. Looking forward to this one.

Let's goooo! I'm so excited for the anime!
Anyone who thought of checking them out, do read the manga too!
The storyline and mysteries is so interesting!!

Can't wait for them to reveal Shaun and John's casts too XD
I love John so much !

Wtf is this? I'm actually genuinely interested? It's not some stupid ass generic ecchi harem bullshit and it's something original for once? I'm actually intrigued by that trailer. I'm guessing it's some sort of gothic mystery anime, with a slice of horror? If so, I'm definitely checking this one out.

It's also by Cloverworks too xD

Dec 19, 2020 9:07 PM by jc9622

Looks pretty good, honestly. Soundtrack is on point too.

VAs hinted that there'll be a considerable amount of mystery involved surrounding Kitou-san's character which isn't exactly surprising but interesting nonetheless.
