There's only two 'fujoshi' sports anime (Free and the upcoming Yuri on Ice). Every other sports anime are based on Shonen demographic manga so, it doesn't make sense to lump them under the same category. Sports anime are for everyone; it's just that the fujoshis another layer of fun to those anime series! Very Happy

Mystery genre anime is a hit or miss for me but, I enjoy them far more than the worn out magical school/harem subgenres. Oh look, another paint by the numbers hero with a pink/red haired tsundere girlfriend and at least three other female classmates who want to screw him. And they have magical powers because Harry Potter is still relevant, right?

My only issue with mystery is that once I know the answers I have little reason to rewatch the show again. Only if the characters or the situations are highly entertaining that I'll receive the most enjoyment. Food based anime are also one of my favorites esp. if it's battle oriented.

First, congratulations on the baby! Very Happy Second, no big deal, but found it odd you used the English title for His and Her Circumstances and Sensual Phrase, the others were Japanese.

I would have added Takumi Usui from Maid Sama to the list. That creep is one of my most hated characters.

Wow, sometimes i don't understand otome games. Like for instance, Diabolik Lovers. The amount of trouble these boys give these girls r unreasonable but it's supposed to be oka because it's out of "love".


Diabolik lover isn't supposed to be romantic..

Kirito - kind of full of himself, and too focused on Asuna, a girl who excuses her yandere obsession for him for her "rough home life".

Light Yagami - you know you're a bad boyfriend when you repeatedly mind wipe the girl and manipulate her just so she can kill someone, then proceed to do nothing but ignore her for your own selfish goals before driving her to alcoholism and eventually suicide. Almost makes me feel bad for Misa - almost.

oh yeah i forgot about shinichi.. i do love that pairing, but it is always so frustrating that he can't explain himself or simply cut ties with her to make her safe from the black organization. i just feel so bad for ran.

No mention of Hana Yori Dango's Tsukasa Doumyoji? Guy just about threatens death to any man threatening or showing interest in main female lead/ love interest Tsukushi, once attempted to rape her after he seen her with friend/ love rival Rui, and made her life a living hell at school upon seeing her confess love to Rui during the first half of the series.

He also slapped her.

Twice.

To me, the second one felt harder then the first. Confused

While Usui's not my favorite either because he's one of the most boring Shoujo love interests out there and the reason I dropped the series, he was never really abusive, just playful and mischievous. He never locked the girl in a cage or sexually abused her, thankfully.

Toma really made Amnesia more memorable than it should have been. The anime would have been regarded as another Otome adaptation without him. But instead it's the Otome adaptation where a dude locks an idiot up in a cage, and she's pretty okay with it.

Speaking of Otome, can we throw in every single boy in Diabolik Lovers?

Hana Yori Dango's Domoyoji Tsukasa may be one of my favorite shojo male leads but even I was wondering why he wasn't on the list. Dude's insane. Like, batsh*t. Some guy's having friendly chat with my girl? SNAP HIS NECK.
