Tags for searchability: Yaoi, Boys-Love, Shounen-ai, Male/Male Romance, Gay Men, Gay Teenagers

These are some of the BL anime I’ve seen and enjoyed! I hope you find some interesting ones in here. I have some older one’s in here and in some of those there are dubious consent so fair warning for that. Make sure to check which one’s are which so that you aren’t blindsided by it. These aren’t in any particular order either. I hope you enjoy these!

A well-placed one-liner always makes people laugh, and we could all use a little humor when things are tough. Watch these hilarious comedic animes. Their funny stories will make you feel better, make you happier, and make you laugh in no time.

**this is an ongoing list, you may come back any time :)

(Revived stack. Questionable text has been removed)

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/18596

You will find yaoi, BL, anime with a male cast who act gay and fruity but "aren't" (they were roommates), and anything similar here. It will be a selection of those I can recommend. Be aware that some are 18+. (More will be added from time to time)

I also made a Manga stack, so check it out if you feel interested!
Have fun watching :)

Step into the mesmerizing world of "The Show Must Go On," a dazzling anime collection that harmonizes showbiz, music, and performing arts. Delve into the journeys of passionate individuals as they navigate auditions, electrifying performances, and forge unbreakable bonds. Witness their resilience, triumphs, and the magnetic power of their unwavering pursuit of the limelight. With drama, romance, and an indomitable spirit, this collection echoes a resounding message: the show must go on, no matter what.

All animes on this stack were writter and/or illustrated by a woman on the original work (manga/light novel/web manga/etc.). Let's give more credits and support to works made by women!

Main-main MC unless there are 2 or more who equally share the spotlight. Will not add (yet) those I'm not certain of

No doubt this is my favourite genre and so i decided that I would select all of those romance animes I find worth recomendation, hope this could help someone!
(Although not all of them focus strictly on romance but it is quite prevelant in the show)

While not as big as school romance category, this setting/premise often allows for more depth. Also a good option for those who feel that they have outgrown the highschool romances.

As a person in their twenties, I get a little frustrated with how many romance shows focus on high school students. To help combat this frustration, here is a list of romance anime (or anime that feature romance) with an adult cast.

this has nothing to do with how good I felt the shows were, just that it is a romance with an adult cast.

Boys love titles with manga, anime and live-action adaptations (TV series, movie, and/or stage play).

Note: Only titles adapted to all three mediums (and BLCD or audio drama) are included in this stack. Those with only 'manga and anime', 'manga and live-action', 'anime and live-action', or 'manga and BLCD' are excluded; more titles will eventually be included when they get adapted to all three mediums. Only the first anime for each franchise are included in this stack. However, reading order and watch order guides are listed per item. MAL, IMDb, MDL, Wikis are also noted.

Bonus! - Not really tagged with the BL genre.

just gay anime, non-gay anime with gay characters, and gay-adjacent fruity stuff. quick thoughts on how gay they are, amount of boys kissing, and if BL anime, how toxic/problematic it is.

will not include any Nakamura BL anime because they're all problematic, repetitive, low-hanging fruit and the definition of homophobic and gay at the same time.
