Last Thing I Want To Do Is Invalidate Your Feelings, Because They Are 100% Valid. But As A Ler Myself,

Last thing I want to do is invalidate your feelings, because they are 100% valid. But as a Ler myself, if you allow me to input my 2 cents, I would say this;

Any Ler worth their salt knows what am absolute PRIVILEGE is to have a Lee allow them to tickle them. Especially when bondage is involved. The levels of trust required is insane, and it must not be taken for granted. Any Ler who turns down that PRIVILEGE because of race or sexual orientation is one who does not deserve it to begin with. We love tickling (and sometimes torturing) a Lee that simply wants us to do it to them.

When looking for lers that’s my biggest fear:

I’m scared that when I tell them that I’m fat or on the chubbier side, what will they say in response? So far, the reactions have been good, but I’m ngl. I still fear that a very negative response will come out of their mouth when I say something.

Adding on : Them being racist and homophobic

TOP 10 ANIME OF SPRING 2025

🥷 1. A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof

(Ninkoro; Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi)

From the studio and director behind Madoka Magica comes a far sillier but still just as deadly endeavor. A pathetic, down-on-her-luck girlfailure of a ninja is taken in by a highly-skilled lesbian yandere assassin to be her live-in maid, cook, and disposer of corpses. Comedy ensues.

It's incredibly well-animated, every joke hits, the characters and their dynamic are a delight to watch, and it feels really nostalgic in a way, as someone who grew up with anime like Nichijou. A welcome addition to Yuri Thursdays, with canon lesbian supporting characters and a will-they-won't-they main couple. And the ED is super catchy!

Genre: Comedy, Yuri

You may like it if you enjoyed: Nichijou, Pop Team Epic, The Demon Girl Next Door

Streaming: Crunchyroll

Rest of the top 10 under the read-more!

🛎️ 2. Apocalypse Hotel

A century after mankind has abandoned Earth due to a pathogen making it inhospitable to human life, dedicated robots still run a luxury hotel, keeping it prepped and ready for any potential visitors, even as many of them sustain fatal damage over the years.

It's got a perfect balance of lightheartedness and melancholy, and with the studio behind Bravern and the writer behind Zombieland Saga, the staff is stacked. It's impossible not to get attached to these robots within even a single episode. It's utterly beautiful, and my favorite of the three robot-centric anime among my top 10. The OP is a joy as well.

Genre: Sci-Fi, Dramedy

You may like it if you enjoyed: Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet, Girls' Last Tour, Houseki no Kuni

⚔️ 3. Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho

(Kijin Gentoushou)

In the early 19th century, an unthinkably horrible event tears apart a would-be family. Years later, Jinta, an incredibly depressed demon hunter who's lost everything he ever loved, takes cases to clear Japan of demons as he works toward seeing his sister again. This is intentionally vague as there's hardly anything I can say about this series without spoiling its earth-shattering hour-long premiere episode.

This is a DARK one (see CWs below) but if you wanna see a fictional man have a really, really bad time? If you wanna come away torn apart by angst? This is the place to be. It's super well-directed and blew me away, and I've heard it referred to as "prestige anime", which sounds about right.

Genre: Drama, Supernatural

You may like this if you enjoyed: Dororo, Mo Dao Zu Shi, Demon Slayer

Streaming: Hidive

⚠️ CW: Gore, multiple discussions of (offscreen) rape, implied emotional incest. Kijin Gentosho is not a fun time.

🎼 4. Classic★Stars

(Clasta)

Some people might call Classic Stars "bad". The people of MyAnimeList have scored it as the second-worst anime of the year. These people are not only wrong, they are cowards, afraid to accept something NEW and DIFFERENT. The cutting edge of anime.

I don't want to spoil this show's Big Twist, aka its premise. I showed the first episode of Classic Stars to a friend without telling him anything about it, and it was a beautiful experience I would recommend to anyone. If you like BOYBANDS, or CLASSICAL MUSIC, or GAYBAIT, or GETTING A LITTLE SILLY, please watch Classic Stars. I promise you will not regret it. Puts a smile on my face every week. Also, the insert songs are genuinely super good.

Genre: Music, Sci-Fi

You may like this if you enjoyed: Hypnosis Mic, Visual Prison, Paradox Live

Streaming: Crunchyroll

🤖 5. Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX

(Kidou Senshi Gundam: GQuuuuuuX)

I'm far from a Gundam superfan. My only experience with Gundam up until this point have been season 1 of Witch From Mercury and living with a Gundam superfan who regularly infodumps about it in my vicinity. However, when I saw the premiere of GQuuuuuuX in theaters, it was a downright magical experience.

An AU of the original Gundam where the bad guys won, creating a dystopian setting. In this setting, an insane teenage girl gains access to a prototype Gundam, unleashing a butterfly effect of chaos. Also they made Char pretty gay. Two thumbs up from meeeee. Even with no real Gundam lore knowledge, this is a blast.

Genre: Sci-Fi, Action

You may like this if you enjoyed: Any other Gundam series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Deca-Dence

Streaming: Prime

🚬 6. Kowloon Generic Romance

Anything but generic, this one is WEIRD in a way that's difficult to describe. In an alternate future where Kowloon Walled City still exists, a woman grapples with her increasingly-loose grip on what is real and what isn't, who she is (if she's anyone at all), and what her relationship is to the coworker she's seemingly always been close with. Meanwhile, a futuristic octahedron hovers in the sky.

It's mysterious and twisty and makes you question everything you're seeing. I haven't seen a mystery series like this since Odd Taxi, my #1 favorite anime of all time. If you want to wonder what the hell is even going on while being pulled into a well-developed atmosphere and world, this one's for you.

Genre: Mystery, Drama

You may like this if you enjoyed: Odd Taxi, Dorohedoro, Sonny Boy

Streaming: Crunchyroll

⚠️ CW: Multiple instances of forced kissing.

🧹 7. Witch Watch

A romcom that's more com than rom, Witch Watch is absolutely packed with charm. When an Oni boy's childhood friend, a silly, often-incompetent witch, returns to his hometown and he's tasked with protecting her, his whole life turns upside down.

This one just makes you smile. It has a great sense of comedic timing, lovable characters, and astounding animation. The OP is also one of the best this season.

Genre: Comedy, Romance

You may like this if you enjoyed: Mob Psycho 100, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun

Streaming: Crunchyroll

🎸 8. Rock is a Lady's Modesty

(Rock wa Lady no Tashinami deshite)

The other anime making up Yuri Thursdays this season, this one's a bit more grounded in reality, though not completely. Two proper young ladies at a finishing school-type academy have a little secret: and it's not even that they're gay, it's that they like to play rock music. In an abandoned building where no one can hear them, they can finally drop all the social graces, shredding as hard as they can and screaming insults at each other. And eventually, they'll even fall in love. The OP's been stuck in my head incessantly.

Genre: Music, Yuri Romance

🦸 9. To Be Hero X

(Tu Bian Yingxiong X)

The most popular donghua of the season, To Be Hero X asks the question: What if your favorite superhero killed himself in front of you and you had to assume his identity, Santa Clause style? It tells this story through an eye-candy mixture of many different animation styles, all rendered beautifully. With a super-fast pace that makes my ADHD happy, you'll never be bored with this one.

Genre: Superhero, Action

You may like this if you enjoyed: Samurai Flamenco, One Punch Man, Tiger & Bunny

Streaming: Crunchyroll, Bilibili

⚠️ CW: Suicide is a major element of the plot.

🔎 10. Your Forma

A detective partnership between a human woman and an android man gets derailed when the latter is framed for murder. Given he's a robot and lacks human rights, they have to act quickly before he's shut down for good.

While the story is good enough to keep this one in my top spots, the anime adaptation made the bizarre decision to entirely skip volume 1 of the source material, despite that having absolutely crucial info. I'd recommend reading at least the first chapter of the manga before jumping into this. Has a great ED too!

Genre: Sci-Fi, Mystery

Honorable Mentions

🦹 Go! Go! Loser Ranger! Season 2 is 100% the sequel to look out for this season. The sequel to my #1 favorite anime of last year, I'm absolutely ready for whatever's in store for my favorite loser villain. (▶️ Hulu, Disney+)

💊 Lazarus and 💐 Maebashi Witches are both fairly good and each offer representation I don't see often in anime. Lazarus is a Suicide Squad-type thing from the creator of Cowboy Bebop featuring black and transfem characters, and Maebashi Witches is a magical girl idol thing with a mini-arc on overcoming fatphobia. While both shows are a little slow-paced for my personal tastes as of now, I'm giving them a few more episodes to get going! (▶️ Lazarus: Adult Swim, Hulu, Max / ▶️ Maebashi Witches: Crunchyroll) [⚠️CW for Maebashi Witches: in-universe fatphobia]

🍲 Food For the Soul, 🧳 Zatsu Tabi: That's Journey, and 📷️ mono are three slice of life anime about young women chilling out. In Food For the Soul, a socially anxious college student joins a food club at her university. In Zatsu Tabi, an inspiration-dry manga author takes small trips to get material for her work. In mono, zany high school girls in a photography club set out to take cool shots. All three of these are pretty similar and very relaxing, if slice of life is something you enjoy. (▶️ Crunchyroll: Food For the Soul / Zatsu Tabi / mono)

🐧 Koupen-chan is an adorable short-form anime (episodes are only 1 minute long) about a baby emperor penguin trying their best. If you like Hello Kitty, you'll like this. (▶️ Piracy)

Hope you find something you like this season! :)
