Is this like Ranma 1/2 or purely a genderbend anime?

Dreamstrider said:
Right. A bit of a shame. I would like it better if it's like Ranma 1/2.

titodacat said:

then watch Ranma 1/2 again or any of the other sex change shows where they flip back and forth

Dreamstrider said:
I was just saying that I would like it more if it's like Ranma 1/2. No need for hostility, hm.

Ok, give me one that’s airing this season? There’s 3 male to female genderbend series this season, yet none where it’s the other way around. People just wanna see cute waifus and that’s it, lol. Seriously tho, I don’t know why you had to give a snarky response to that person. They were just expressing their opinion, and a great one at that

titodacat said:

bro you think a niche genre like sex shift gets more than 1 per season, the fact that there's 3 airing rn is crazy and they're all pretty good is even more insane. I hate to break it to you, but the whole sex shift flip flop thing is even more of a niche in the sex shift genre itself. I think we should be happy we got bind animating one and one adapting a manga by the to loveru mangaka is good enough to hold you over for the next flip flop sex shift show. you can always watch slightly older ones like twintails or kampfer (iirc) or old as dick ones like Ranma again.

Animillion said:

Yea, I would’ve been happy if Bind did one where a girl became a guy and that was the mc. Of course ik genderbend isn’t a common genre, but it sucks that this season when they decide to release multiple ones, they’re all this type and not girl to guy or back and forth. I don’t understand why you need to keep pointing people to older anime when clearly we’re talking about the new ones. Ayakashi Triangle could’ve easily been like that, but they went the way that you seem to like so good for you I guess

titodacat said:

I mean im just pointing to the direction that they wanted. listen with the whole reincarnation/isekai boom, the flip flop thing is gonna be even less common than what we have now. I can't even remember the last time there was a sex shift show that isn't just an reincarnation or isekai, granted im a future dementia patient so I could be wrong.

your best bet would be if the urusei remake does well enough, maybe Ranma gets remade and then that would start a chain reaction to get the flippy floppy ones. all I know is that this show and onimai whatever do flip back, just not often. atleast now yuri seems to be making a comeback even if its semi cheating with these kinds of shows. if yuri can make a comeback, im certain the true sex shift shit can too.

also i dont care about sex shift, if im being honest I like the flip flop more just because it's funny having them flip constantly, I like ayakashi triangle solely for the fact it's by the to loveru mangaka and his art is god tiered

Animillion said:

If anything, the expansion of yuri will detract from the type of genderbend I’m talking about where a male character is the mc, lol. Ik you were pointing in the right direction, but it sucks that your direction goes back to before the 2000s, lol. And yea, I really don’t care for genderbend. I’m just kinda sad that Ayakashi Triangle is. Take away that aspect and it would’ve been fine imo, but again different tastes I guess

ph yeah no girls turning into guys is gonna take a few more decades before it gets atleast 1 a year. I was trying to say ones that came out in the last decade like twintails and kampfer, but all the things i thought of were gimmick episodes like kokoro connect or not exactly a sex shift like yamada kun. the only time I recall a girl turning into a guy is Kobayashi dragon maid and that didn't last long.

NoHeart said:

3? . . . . . . Ah! I forgot "Eiyuuou Tenseisu" XD




Do you know any manga with that setting in the first place? Wait! I just remember two… my bad.

However, I wonder why, within the little niche of gender bender, the girl to boy theme is the rarest...




I accept suggestion, but I already watched Ranma, Twintail and Kampher…

Animillion said:
I think the girl to boy theme is rarest because the mc becomes a male and people prefer the all-girl type of series. I guess to some people it adds “charm” whereas the other way around is “weird”. Idk, these are just some reasons I believe for this to be the case.

NoHeart said:

I guess you are right… But it might also be that the concept gets boring too fast. Probably that's why the reverse trap is the most common type of "girl to boy" approachment.

Royalty459 said:

I think it's also because when a guy turns into a girl, they can add fanservice because usually the mc is surrounded by other girls so there would be a lot of yuri moments. You can't do that with guys and get the same response

Animillion said:

Fan service for yuri fans specifically. I’d much rather they keep the mc a male but make them not a wuss like in most Ecchi anime. But yea, I don’t get why straight fan service can’t get the same response.

Royalty459 said:

It's not even just yuri fans, it's ecchi fans to because you hardly ever see boyxboy fanservice unless it's a bl but in almost every ecchi series, you're going to get at least one girl on girl moment.

Animillion said:

Man even as a straight male I liked something like the Naruto and Sasuke fan service more than any girl x girl, lol. Girl on girl moments shoved in for fan service are my least favourite in Ecchi, but I get that I’m in the minority…

You say "purely genderbend" as if Ranma wasn't that kind of show anymore. Ayakashi is literally a more ecchi version of Ranma, only with yuri bait, which was completely ignored in Rumiko's work.

Animillion said:

“only with yuri bait” is kinda what I dislike about this. Ranma 1/2 featured Ranma as a guy for much of the series, which would’ve been great if Ayakashi Triangle did the same.

RobertBobert said:
It is quite common, especially in shoujo and BL. It's just not that ecchy-ish + shoujo anime is usually ignored when choosing material for adaptation.

NoHeart said:

Really? I see. Any example then?

RobertBobert said:
Well, Ranma's main problem was that it never used its full yuri potential, managing to make MALE gay jokes on a show where a straight male MC turns into a girl. Yabuki seems to be going up to 11 with this one. What is the problem already in Ayakashi Triangle itself for me is that they got too carried away with yuri bait and the manga has been just an average yuri bait ecchi comedy for quite some time now with no real plot development.

Dreamstrider said:
Maybe "purely genderbend" was the wrong term. I just meant switching between genders as opposed to just one way street like Onimai.

Why would anyone want Matsuri to be a guy again lol

Dreamstrider said:
I just finished watching the first episode. Is he going to switch between male and female form, or will he stay in female form most of the time
