Skate-Leading☆Stars

Bromance, Male-friendship, Ambiguous ambiance, Fujo-bait you know where it lead.
There is a ton of series non shounen-ai/BL tagged that contains "I SHIP THEM" moments.
(male) Characters have a strong moving emotional bond that fujoshi particulary enjoy.
Trying to avoid the already Boys Love tagged entries since everyone can find them.
I will create another Stack for Chineses-Korean / ONA shows (needing as much space as possible for this one)

Update note :
May 8, 2022 : 50 entries reached, I will take the time to explain for each series why I added them.

(Keyword : yaoi, shonen-ai, shounen-ai, danmei, BL, boys love, gay, fujoshi, fudanshi, fujobait, ikemen, bishounen, ambiguous)

Stuff that is either obscure/unpopular, janky, wildly inconsistent or noticeably cheap (pick any combination), but somehow makes things work and be good anyway (typically against the odds). Characterized by having a MAL average under 7.

...or so I thought but apparently they are [redacted] /j

The anime stack of sports anime series with mostly all-male casts, yeah these are totally sports anime series trust me. I won't put the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so yeah find them by yourself if you enjoy the series.

Criteria:
1. TOTALLY a sports anime
2. There are a lot of male casts
3. Story is basically about the teamwork and friendship
4. Rate isn't that bad
5. Show isn't too old

Will be always updated whenever there's a new series I find.

There will be times that I want to watch the next episode but as soon as the op/ed played, I'll vibe to it first. If the anime has more than 1 op/ed, I'll put the specific song/s that I liked in the description. Also, these are all based on my personal taste in music ^^

Includes figure/ice skating, (rhythmic) gymnastics, dancing and so on.

Literally just every sports anime I have seen

Animes focused on the world of entertainment, the music industry, different types of disciplines and art.

Sports anime with male MCs/focusing on male teams or characters.
