Anime Awakenings Submissions Open!

Ever see an animanga character and think, 'i want their gender but we're not gonna unpack that rn'? Ever watch or read animanga as a kid where an uber cool anilady or anifellow got you feelin' some type o' way, while still adamantly insisting you're straight (🤨)? Did you later realize that is NOT the case? And credit the aforementioned animanga character(s) in helping you realize this? This is the place for you. Anime awakenings tourney! Where we pit anime characters against one another who helped us realize our queerness!

Things to know:

I say 'animanga' for simplicity's sake, but I accept a broader range of East Asian mediums as long as the character is presented in what can be understood as an 'anime' style (I realize this can sound reductive, but I've found people understand the guidelines the best if they're put this way). So visual novels, manhua, manhwa, donghua, etc. are also allowed. If you aren't sure if a character qualifies, just submit them anyway and I will make the call.

I discourage negative propaganda. Let's be civil to one another and respect that the way one person may feel about a character can be very different than how you feel about them.

I do these polls for fun. They're not super serious! That being said, I hope you can all have fun with me, reminiscing and gushing about characters who have had an important impact on your lives. :)

I will keep submissions open until I feel I have enough for a good-sized bracket. Let's get started!

Hanna Hwass from Bäckström

propaganda: The scene between her and Ankan on the table is way too charged to lead nowhere like it does. And what better way to say "fuck you" to her awful dad??

Lisa Cuddy from House MD

propaganda: i can see the glimmer in her eyes when she has a conection with a girl. if she just lezzed out and lived her truth yuri style and got over house she would be 1000x happier i swear

Annie Twilloil from the Goes Wrong Show

[wouldlesbianismsaveher]

Draculaura from Monster High Gen 3

propaganda: Many fans read her arc about coming to terms with witchcraft and taking her time to tell her father about it as a metaphor for queerness (not saying it is but it sits right with many people) plus her relationship with Clawd seemed very rushed and underdeveloped in this gen and she had way more chemistry and development with other female characters.

Violet from Step Up: All In

propaganda: The character is clearly butch, and throughout the movie, a male character named Chad is constantly making moves on her, and she's clearly shown to be repulsed by his advances. Yet, for whatever reason, the writers want us to believe that she's "into him" and have her end up with him at the end of the movie. Like, HELLO?? WHO were they trying to fool here?!?
