So this spawned from a discussion in the tracha matrix chat. We're trying to come up with a list of any anime/manga that has trans representation, whether that's good, bad, or meh. Here are the rules of what to include:
- Format (anime, manga, or both)
- Genre
- Title and brief description of the plot, major trans characters, and how well they are represented as trans.
- A simple rating of good, bad, or meh. This is so people can find good ones or avoid ones that are bad/problematic representations.
Hopefully these requirements make sense, but let me know if I should make any adjustments here.
Wow! These all sound great and thank you very much for sharing!!! Funny enough, I'm in the process of watching Wonder Egg Priority and like it so far. I'm hoping the ending isn't as bad as I've heard from some corners.
Just a note on Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night: it's extremely egregious yuri bait and the plot as a whole does a massive 180 after the seventh episode to turn a story about living as who you want to be despite social pressure into some tepid slop about reconciling with abusive parents and bullies and conforming to what they want instead, with Kiui's arc in episode 11 being the only part of the last 5 episodes that's actually good and matches the earlier episodes in quality and themes. The whole thing is so egregious that it genuinely feels like there was a whole, complete story planned out, some executive came in and said "no, too gay, we're rewriting it" and then either missed the trans rep or someone managed to protect that, because those last 5 episodes feel like a story that's just been 90% erased and crudely filled in with filler by a different hand.
i think Wonder Egg Priority is worth to watch, my main complain is that it leaves a lot of unanswered questions in the end
