Yaoi, aka Boy's Love - Japanese genre of fiction focusing on relationships between two male characters
What anime are you watching this season? (Summer 2016)
In terms of anime that appeals to fudanshi and fujoshi, I'm watching Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love!, Cheer Danshi!!, Highschool Life of a Fudanshi and The Morose Mononokean.
I'm also watching 91 Days, Ace Attorney, Amaama to Inazuma and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
What anime are you watching this season? Do you have any recommendations?
What are you looking forward to next season?




I'm enjoying Highschool Life of a Fudanshi and the Morose Monokean too. I just started 91 Days and am loving it so far (I'm on ep 6), although I'm nervous about what's coming. I'm loving the developing relationship between Nero and Angelo but fear it will end badly. Love the Prohibition setting too! I'm also watching Days, which I'm liking more as it goes along.
I'm also watching Sweetness and Lightning, which is cute and makes me hungry.
Next season--I'm dying for the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans, which I just caught up on this summer. Also Bungou Stray Dogs and Haikyuu.
I've had such limited time, so I've really only been keeping up with a few things T_T I'm watching a few of the ones you listed, but I've also been watching Days!, which is released every Saturday. It's a sports anime about soccer (a fudanshi/fujoshi paradise, lol) and it's genuinely wonderful. It genuinely moved me many times and it's not even far in! Lots of things to ship, too, though as far as I've seen the fujoshi fandom isn't really existant. And though it's American made, it's got it's roots in anime, so I'll mention it: Voltron: Legendary Defenders is really good! Good for shipping too, and the fandom is small but growing.
I've heard of Days! but I wasn't sure if it was good or not, so I'll check it out! I've also heard pleasant things about Battery, which is made by the same writer that made No. 6, so it's potentially likely to have some fu-geared content.
I've seen a few things about Battery roll across my tumblr dash that seemed very BL, and now knowing it came from the author of No. 6 I'm like... Well no wonder. And I will go on and on about Days! to pretty much anyone who'll listen, lol. I started watching it because sports anime is always potential ship fodder, but it's really turning into one that I might be able to call a favorite, eventually. I can't describe why it makes me so happy, but I just feel so good and moved when I watched it. Also there's that figure-skating anime coming out this fall (October?), I think it's Yuuri!!! on Ice, or something to that effect (misplaced exclamation points?). The trailer for that had some MOMENTS, lol. Here's the newest preview: https://youtu.be/PBocGR7PlJQ
You weren't kidding about the moments, that bit at 1:20, wow XD I've already decided I'm going to be watching that one. The animation alone is enough for that, I think.
Some other series that catch my interest are Watashi ga Motete Dousunda, about a fujoshi surrounded by guys that want to date her while she tries to get them to date each other, and Gakuen Handsome, which is based on the parody BL game of the same name.
I'm definitely going to be watching the new seasons of Bungou Stray Dogs and Chi's Sweet Home, but I need to catch up on the previous seasons of Natsume Yuujinchou if I'm going to be watching the continuation of that. Occultic;Nine and All Out!! looks like they might be quite good too.
Oh, yeah, the animation quality is INCREDIBLE. There's another trailer that displays more of their movements while they're skating, and I was blown away thinking about what it must have taken to animate it. It's seriously amazing. I think it's adapted from a light novel? I may be 1000% wrong about that though. In any case, I'll for sure be watching!
I was into BSD for a little bit as well, but I got behind and keep forgetting to catch up. I started reading the manga shortly after beginning the anime, and found that I kind of preferred the manga? But I'll watch the anime in any case, for sure. The story and characters are so interesting.
I own the first volume of WMD (which I knew as Kiss Him, not Me! - had to look it up) and it's hilarious! Didn't know about the anime. Yay! I'd seen Natsume Yuujinchou floating around, but I'll add it to my queue if you recommend it. Ugh, I need school to be over so I can watch all the things!
I really adore fluid animation styles - the way they draw the hair and how they render the shading... Though to be honest, it was actually the OVA of Koisuru Boukun and subsequent reading of all the volumes in a single sitting that actually got me back into drawing again after a six year slump. I just wanted to be able to draw hair like that. BL inspired me to try after all those years.
Natsume Yuujinchou is a shoujo anime - it's not BL or anything, but if you're into fantasy and youkai like I am, then I think you'll enjoy it.
WMD's mangaka does a LOT of BL stuff - Recipe no Oujisama is one of her most popular ones I think. That and Konbini-kun. They're both on the incredibly fluffy side of BL and well worth a read if you haven't already.
