Simple and refreshing. I was pleasantly surprised with this anime. It doesn't pander any message to anyone just presents its story confidently. And the story has a unique premise but it's quite universal the way it is told. The direction is really good. Our main characters are constantly put in d...

This is a great slice-of-life anime with crossdressing themes, delicate tension, and many apprehensive twists that really hits the heart, delivering a powerful message that clothes are just clothes and don't define who a person is—it should be shown on open TV everywhere. You'll love the excellen...

I'm so happy with how this one turned out! It's a beautiful story about three classmates who are all trying to better understand, come to terms and fully embrace their own identities and their own personal feelings towards one another. It's a super cute show with so many fun and wholesome interac...

This anime is a refreshing, confident experience featuring a unique yet universal story and incredibly well-written, relatable characters. While there are no notable criticisms to report, the direction and voice acting are strong, and the animation is perfectly decent. I highly recommend giving t...

This series is a deeply moving slice-of-life that features an excellent trio of characters and a powerful, universal message about self-expression. There are no notable flaws to report, as the narrative effectively balances delicate moments with tense, apprehensive plot twists. I highly recommend...

This beautiful, wholesome story about three classmates navigating their identities and feelings provided deeply meaningful LGBT representation that resonated profoundly with my own journey of self-discovery. While I adored the series, I felt Saki was sidelined and that Makoto’s storyline suffered...

The character designs, voice acting, and meaningful LGBTQ+ themes are beautifully adapted, successfully capturing the heart of the source material. However, the production suffers from a low budget, resulting in minimal animation, distracting chibi-style overuse, and rushed pacing that compresses...

I want to preface this review by saying that Senpai wa Otokonoko is one of my favorite manga of all time. I am writing this review from a fan of the source material's perspective. With this being said, I did enjoy watching this anime; however, it left much to be desired. While not a standalone ba...

I truly appreciated the series for tackling complex themes like gender identity, sexuality, and family with a nuanced exploration of Makoto’s personal motivations. However, the experience was hindered by a lack of thorough development, as many key aspects and the main theme felt rushed and incomp...

This is a great masterpiece that deeply resonates through strong identification with Makoto's self-exploration and autoperception, delivering a powerful message: "If you manage to let go of certain important things, you can at least protect one thing, whatever it may be," urging to live happily a...

This series excels at exploring complex emotional conflicts and delivers arguably the best anime conclusion I have ever witnessed. While the plot can feel disjointed and some scenes are difficult to watch, it is important not to be misled by the initial romance-heavy expectations. Despite these e...

This anime is a true masterpiece that deeply resonated with me, providing a powerful message about protecting one's true self and finding the courage to live authentically. I have no criticisms to offer, as the story perfectly captured my own struggles with identity and societal expectations. I h...

Senpai wa Otokonoko brought up an important conversation about cross-dressing, gender identity, sexuality, friendship, love, family, and more. I was really happy to see the anime exploring whether Makoto truly wanted to live as a girl or simply liked cute, "girly" things. It would have felt like ...

So from episodes 1-11 i would of put this show at a 7.5 like its fun and i'd defently reccommend it too everyone but i just want too put it out there that if you are wanting too watch a romance this probally isnt the show for you although it deos talk about romance it isnt the main point of this ...

In a season filled with romance anime, this was easily the best. In lesser hands, Makoto's titular cross-dressing could have been treated as a cheap gimmick, but fortunately this gentle romantic drama respects its characters and has a strong story to tell. Makoto dresses as a girl at school, but ...

I didn't have high hopes for this anime, I was just curious about the premise and what it was about. what it was about. I am really surprised with senpai wa otokonoko after watching all 12 episodes. Makoto is a good character, the fact that he goes little by little going from less to more is simp...

Are you curious about how unusual people see the world? Then this anime might be worth checking out. Makoto is a guy who feels comfortable wearing women's clothes. Ryu seems to fall for a guy even though he's supposedly not gay. And Saki is a girl who tries to please everyone but ends up lonely, ...

Senpai wa Otokonoko is a beautifully constructed work featuring a gratifying character arc for Makoto and a deeply meaningful friendship dynamic that drives the story forward. While the show deserves more recognition, its exploration of non-conventional gender expression unfortunately clashes wit...

This series is easily the best romance of the season, standing out for its respectful, mature treatment of the protagonist's cross-dressing and its deep, character-driven narrative. While the 12-episode run leaves some plot threads unresolved and includes one slightly distracting standalone episo...

The characters are well-written and offer an engaging look at the everyday lives and emotional struggles of three unique individuals. However, the series suffers from a lack of a cohesive plot, stagnant pacing, and an underwhelming, non-committal resolution. While I don't regret watching it, the ...
