List of Canonically Trans/gnc Characters

My own list in this post is anime, manga, games mostly but in the spreadsheet you can add anything.

Following my tierlist of them, I realized I should make a public list so theyre not just kept in my head, since I spent quite a while finding these characters. If you want to watch/play anything with trans or gnc characters, you can use this list.

They range from good rep to bad, characters viewed as "traps" or not taken seriously to ones that the whole fandom understands is trans. I've added trigger warnings to the characters and fandoms I know can be triggering. I've also put certain names in bold to show that they're a main character, but i've only watched a few on this list so some are missing.

I would add trigger warnings for "bury your gays" and similar tropes, but I want to avoid spoilers. Maybe you can look it up first if you're worried. I've tried to exclude characters that are referred to as hermaphrodites.

The "crossdressers" section obviously includes some spoilers.

Enjoy :D

Shangri-La: Momoko moments

[63824peace]

Sunday, 23rd of october 2005

I went to the office after lunch yesterday, but I took a day off from writing the blog. I just didn't feel like writing. The sun finally shone this morning, so I decided to start working on HIDEOBLOG.

I saw the film Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It's showing as a special guest film at the Tokyo International Film Festival at the Hills. I also wanted to see Kamen Rider: THE FIRST. Unfortunately it was showing at the same time in the next theater. I chose my beloved Wallace & Gromit instead.

I heard that Kamen Rider: THE FIRST will show in the theater during November. I'll make a point of going then.

The curtain finally rose just before 11 A.M. Wallace & Gromit's father Nick Park gave the introductory speech! Oh, it was real! Nick Park in the flesh! I was so moved.

Then Wallace and Gromit followed him onto the stage! They were quite big . . . and of course they weren't made out of clay.

Nick Park gave an interview while standing between Wallace and Gromit on the stage. The whole affair was congenial and amiable from start to finish. My suspicions were confirmed, too: the director has a distinct Londoner's accent.

Two weeks ago I heard that the warehouse of Aardman Animations burned down to the ground, taking with it thirty year's worth of cinematic treasure. Yet, despite my fears, Nick Park appeared on stage and seemed to be in high spirits.

The much-anticipated new Wallace & Gromit film lasts ninety minutes! It is a long one indeed.

The film was an absolute delight. It was so fun. Gromit took the lead this time, and the theater audience applauded warmly. They were huge Gromit fans like me.

An International Film Festival typically targets mature audiences, but many families with children attended the show nonetheless. Wallace & Gromit is so popular that I expect Japan's reaction will follow England's lead. The film was ranked #1 at the box offices in both Europe and the United States.

Wallace & Gromit has finally become popular in the United States. It will show in all the Japanese theaters beginning March 1, 2006. I will go and see it again next spring.

I would really like to hear Kin-chan dub Wallace's character in the Japanese version.

I saw Rupert-san's name among the film's credits. He seems to have contributed to the film's music. He is Harry Gregson-Williams' younger brother. Harry-san's latest work is featured in the film Domino, which also looks like a great movie.

Universal Studios produced the video game for Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It has already been released in Europe and the United States. It so happens that Konami has the distribution rights for the game's global release. The game's Japanese release will coincide with the film's theatrical debut.

I played Wallace & Gromit a bit during August's GC Show in Leipzig. I had a good feeling about it then.

The game still carries the warmth of the film's claymation style, yet it is entirely digitally rendered. I'm confident that it holds a lot of promise. I anticipate the Japanese release.

I first discovered Wallace & Gromit when I saw the second film titled The Wrong Trousers. My son and I have been huge fans ever since. I have never missed a Wallace & Gromit exhibition, and I have bought almost all of the merchandise. I own all of the DVDs, and to this date anyone who walks past my work booth can see the remainder of my personal collection.

For ten years I have thought, "I want to make a Wallace & Gromit video game." I was naturally pretty shocked when the distributor told me about the game's release. I felt envious . . . I doubted the game's quality but felt relieved after playing it. The game is well-crafted and it won't tarnish the reputation established by the films.

I have two animated series in mind to transform into video games. One is Wallace & Gromit; the other is Tom & Jerry.

It's wonderful to develop a game for which you wrote the story yourself. I expect that it would also be interesting to develop a game out of someone else's imaginative world. I would need to express another person's creative talent. I'd like to experience that one day.

At lunch someone asked me, "You're working today as well?" I hid my embarrassment and answered, "Oh, I'm just here for the movie." It's really embarrassing when people perceive me as a workaholic.

I took care of sundry tasks in the office. I prepared for my upcoming conference, responded to some mail, and performed various other small tasks.

When I returned home I finished reading Eiichi Ikegami's novel Shangri-La, published by Kadokawa Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd. It was really interesting. It's legitimate science fiction.

This is the type of science fiction that my generation dreamed about and longed to claim as our own. It's the type of writing that excited us, moved us, and enlightened us in the past.

Overall the novel had really good settings. The environments were very elaborate and full of ideas. This is essentially where science fiction finds its charm.

The science fiction story requires that the effects of its setting be established before the storytelling begins. These effects include the narrative establishment of technology and the futuristic society, as well as the imaginative gimmicks and relationships.

Those were the characteristics of my generation's idea of science fiction.

"The Carbon Society!" "Teknology!" It was all really witty.

We exhausted most imaginative material like global warming back in the 70's, but Ikegami's novel treats that material in a fresh way.

I actually had a similar plot somewhere in my backlog of ideas. I got the idea from a news article dated three or four years ago. The article's text read:

"Developing nations have agreed to limit the overall emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Thanks to the Kyoto Protocol however, nations and industries can now barter for the rights on carbon dioxide emissions.

"The principles of the market exchange that started in 19th century Chicago have finally become applied to the exchange of business eco-rights. We are now ready to deal with ecological issues according to the ideology of marketplace mechanisms."

I used this article as a tip and imagined a project based on carbon dioxide emissions within business eco-rights. The story focused on the confrontations between global analysts, national agents, corporations, and mafia organizations behind the scenes of a futuristic carbon dioxide exchange market. Its themes were economic issues and the wars that resulted after petroleum ceased to serve as a viable fuel source.

At the same time I had planned to incorporate terrestrial and oceanic burial methods of carbon dioxide disposal. These methods of waste disposal have been studied extensively.

I don't know if Mr. Eiichi Ikegami used the same news article as a tip. I'll simply bury my old idea for good since such an interesting novel already exists.

My generation's science fiction aesthetics really came around in the 1960's before fantasy became a popular genre. Our sci-fi aesthetic defined a new type of literature that focused on the social aspects of technology. Our aesthetic became converted into movies and then into anime, according to the times. Our science fiction has returned to us in the forms of these new media.

Our aesthetic themes include criticism intending to benefit our civilization, race, and society; an imaginative idea given historical context; a warning for the future; the succession of a new generation to adulthood; and a positive message. The success of the aesthetic doesn't rely anymore upon an original perspective on the future. The vivid manga-type characters enhance the stories and make them more effective.

Ikegami's female characters are incredibly strong. The main characters include Kuniko (the heroine), Momoko, Sayoko, Ryoko, Mina, Karin, Miiko, Nagiko, and so on. One member in the group is a new-half: a transsexual man whose operation procedure is only half complete. At any rate, these women go wild and take action in ways that outshine some action movies. The novel's second half really speeds along! It has enough power and momentum to carry readers to the end in only one sitting!

Shangri-La is a story about Tokyo that could only have been written by a Japanese person. The novel makes its reader feel the essences of Tokyo, the present moment, and the Earth. It is also a bold, audacious novel that makes us reflect upon Japan. It simultaneously delivers Hollywood entertainment while it takes complex narrative turns. I didn't know that anyone could write a novel like this.

Japanese literary culture isn't hopeless, even though it's currently flooded with self-improvement books. Shangri-La is only a novel, but I would like to see it adapted as a movie. I would prefer to see it rendered as animation rather than live action. I can't imagine showing the true charm of the characters using only live action shots.

Does Shangri-La exists in our world? The answer is no, of course. As Kuniko and the others discovered when they awakened, Shangri-La doesn't exist unless we seek it. We create our own Shangri-La.

[fromnibelheim]

Rewatching Shangri-la for the first time since I was a kid and this anime really is so fuckin cool. I'm having that super satisfying feeling of remembering something long forgotten. I always loved the concept and the art style, the way they drew the world, the futurism but also mysticism of the mysterious Atlas corporation, and it was my first time seeing trans people in entertainment at all. They're still used as the butt of a joke a lot, in no way is it a perfect or even good representation, (and as a cis person I don't know that I can speak on that at all anyway) but I always thought Momoko was so beautiful and cool and how kind and motherly she is to the mc. Like all the characters are people. God idk y'all this type of dystopian hyper-futurism vs return to nature shit always gets me shangri-la will always have a special place in my heart as a deep inspiration for me
