sure thing! As I’m new to BL (started in July??), so far everything I’ve seen are recommendable since I haven’t watched that many. Also using this as an opportunity to write down how I started watching BL, thanks!
My first BL anime was 異世界の沙汰は社畜次第, I was interested since the title had 社畜 (しゃちく) which is kinda a popular word for jokingly say that you spend too much time working for a company.
And then ユーリ!!! on ICE started their 10th year anniversary event so it is free to watch on YouTube for 30 days. Some people think this is just another sports anime, but I’d categorize it as BL too.
This became the turning point from consuming content to learning, as YouTube started recommending me ボイスコミック, simply put as voice actors reading the manga. This is when I realized I actually don’t need native language subtitles and can still understand the story by listening and reading the manga. Here are the three channels that specifically publish BL ボイスコミック:
From then on, most of what I watch just comes from YouTube recommendations.
Anime:
- 佐々木と宮野 – kinda funny to see them talking about BL, good for BL education too
- 黄昏アウトフォーカス – started with the characters trying to make a BL movie
- 30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい (Magic Cherry) – also adapted to real-person show
- パーフェクトアディクション (Perfect Addiction) – this is like 3 minutes per episode, good material for learning in a sense
Manga:
- たまらないのは恋なのか – it has a special anime episode, that’s how I knew about it
- 黄昏アウトフォーカス – there are many titles around it which I don’t remember at the moment
- パーフェクトアディクション – just wanted to know what would go on further in the story, but this one feels a bit too much for me
- スモークブルーの雨のち晴れ – this one also has a real-person show
There is another one that I’ve seen a lot of people talking about it, and it’s in my list: Given
Also if anyone has anything to recommend, please let me know too ❤️
