The increase in literally gay anime is increasing lately. So many this season just to please the gays. I counted 9 airing that include outright gays, extremely gay looking, cross dressing. The gay activists are making their way to change fanservice as we know it. Pretty soon, half the anime airing charts will be for gays.
Here comes the "oh what about females liking.." NO. Cut the crap gay boy.
I'm not so concerned about the increase in male fanservice, regardless of its target audience, as it will allow for more of ANN's "If it's gay, it's okay" hypocrisy on ecchi/fanservice anime to shine through.
most ecchi fanservice is trash that lets its audiene get off on the female characters being uncomfortable.
the fanservice of men is usually just men doing whatever and being perfectly comfortable about it. There's a difference, not a double standard. Think about it the next time theres a scene where a girl is seen naked and gets visibily upset and flustered screaming 'hentaiii D:' and cries. I think girls getting off on 'swimmers being good at swimming while also not wearing a shirt' is a lot less creepy than otaku getting off on Mio being upset because an audience saw her panties.
Judging in a different way fanservice based on unrealistic reactions is clearly double standard.
By your standard, Highschool DxD is a masterpiece because the girls main girls are perfecty comfortable doing whatever.
So what you're saying is the objectification of men is perfectly fine, yet for women, it's the crime of the century. Double standards all over feminism, I swear.
I rofl on this comment. What you say is that female sexuality is superior to male sexuality because it is less creepy? Check out Diabolic Lovers, it is aimed at women and the female lead in Diabolic Lovers gets "raped"/abused every episode and I mean literally every episode.
I agree completely.
ok, i'm gay and i think this season is shit. its not for gay people. Only love Stage. Free is not gay and its not bad at all (its not the best anime but its fun to watch). i Love mecha animes and only have cliches now. I like fanservice, cute girls are just cute to see XD, K-ON is far more gay than free to me (i love k-on). yaoi animes always have, its not the first time, we just dont have a lot of good animes this season. sry for the bad english.
Free is totally frikkin gay. Your not really gay if you think free is for girls
Literally gay anime? I wasn't aware that anime itself had an orientation.
i heard Darker than Black likes to give it, but Code Geass is a power bottom.
Code Geass's second season was a femme dom, though.
Wasn't DtB a magical girl anime? All I could see was a silver haired goth loli and her talking cat...
increase in gay anime: good
If an anime contains a character who is gay, then it's clearly made for gays!
It's a well known fact that only witches and magical girls watch Madoka, and only owners of giant robots watch Gundam.
I think I may try to get raped by an octopus this weekend so I'm entitled to watch some tentacle porn.
Oh no, they please the gays. This is a war on straights, amirite?
>using terms like 'gay activist' unironically
do not pass go
do not collect $200
sooo Japan has no taste? yea...
you talk as if your taste are better...
*spoiler* you're not *spoiler*
you talk as if your taste are any better...

Keep fighting it.
't Is too bad no character from Robotics;notes or one of the other ;-series from 5pb ever shows up in such rankings :(
JAPAN WILL DIE FOR....

I HAVE MY OWN POWER!
The ranking isn't that entirely bad. Chaika Torabanto was the best girl of the season.
I find this list very odd.
Rentaro #5 male? Come on. I liked everything about Black Bullet except Rentaro.
No mention of No Game No Life in the top 10 anime? W... what is going on here? Seriously.
The top 10 anime series? More like worst shows.
Still questioning what the hell do people see in Gary Stus. Not going to say "Japan has shit taste", because I happen to know way too many gaijins who also like SAO and Mahouka for some reason I will never be able to understand.
Well, if the people aren't so easily influenced by the medias, then advertisements and propaganda would never be a thing I guess.
How come some of the series up there are even on the list of "August" anime?
Why suzumiya Haruhi? is Old , and also hirano aya is bitch, otakus japaneses are Maso?
Captain earth is a good anime.
That girl's torso is way too long.
Kamina where?
Spike Spigel where?
Kenshin?
Kyon?
Ararararagi?
The female list is so bad I can't even comment. These lists are bad and they should be ashamed of themselves.
Isn't Kirito a female character in this season?
That's why the name should be Sword Trap Online
Kira from Gundam Seed...? Wat
its not a newtype poll without kira and lacus.
It's been a running gag in the newtype polls since 2005 to have Kira and Lacus in the top 10.
Can you elaborate on the reasoning behind that? I enjoy when companies have this level of trolling.
Oh come on Japan. Kira Yamato still? Yeah he has skill, but most of it came from piloting an overpowered Gundam. When Zaft built better grunt suits, the Strike was pretty shit. Remember how Kira got owned before getting the Strike Freedom?
i'm still blown by the fact that he even appears on a list in 2014. But then again, it's Newtype.
Yamato Killer killed your dog?
Kira got owned ONCE. That's it. And there were mitigating circumstances.
So having his Strike shot apart wasn't being owned them? If Waltfeld wasn't already out there, it'd be buh bye Kira.
The Strike Rouge was built using components from the Strike Gundam. Also he wasn't up against an Army, he was up against a small squadron at first, that was how Waltfeld held them back while Kira got the Strike Freedom.
Unit age also doesn't have a huge amount to do with it, plenty of experienced pilots have done well with less. Heine Westenfluss used a Zaku Phantom against the Gaia and held his own.
You mean a MS that wasn't his (it was the Rouge), damaged from speeding off the planed, almost empty from over-boosting couldn't handle an army of MS that were at least 5 years newer?
YOU DON'T SAY!
He got owned more than once, just that the other ownage isn't as grand as the main ones.
Kira Yamato is a coordinator already though
I still haven't seen Sankaku reporting on Tokyo ESP, and the lists above are definitely missing it as well. What gives?!
TOKYO ESP anime sucks, they ruined manga's story
The mangas story is shite, though. At least after "season 1",
Tokyo ESP first episode is Chapter 24 from the manga, you idiot.
Kirito should be in the female top 10 as well.
soon
All august and september at least...
