So this spawned from a discussion in the tracha matrix chat. We're trying to come up with a list of any anime/manga that has trans representation, whether that's good, bad, or meh. Here are the rules of what to include:

  1. Format (anime, manga, or both)
  2. Genre
  3. Title and brief description of the plot, major trans characters, and how well they are represented as trans.
  4. A simple rating of good, bad, or meh. This is so people can find good ones or avoid ones that are bad/problematic representations.

Hopefully these requirements make sense, but let me know if I should make any adjustments here.

CW: >!pedophiles!< (also spoilers)

!The final episodes (I forget which ones) basically blame several girls for their own abuse. The whole series we're led to believe the reason one girl commits suicide is because she was being sexually abused by her teacher. Then a flashback occurs to how the eggs were created, and we're introduced to a robot girl that "falls in love" with her father figures, killing his wife and child out of jealousy. Then back to the present day, we find out this other girl was rejected by her teacher and that's the reason for her suicide. It's very "Wow females are crazy! They just keep throwing themselves at these older men. Surely no man has ever taken advantage of a child before."!<

!Reading commentary by the director (or producer, I dont remember which), the ending comes off like a self-insert. There were problems with production that caused numerous people to quit or get laid off, so it sounds like the original story writers were out of the picture and the exec was given free reign over the plot. He honestly didn't see anything wrong with multiple underage characters lusting after adults.!<

that's gross.

i think i didn't interpret ending in this way because i was really confused at what was happening and idea "females are just crazy" doesn't align with earlier episodes. Problems with production explains why the result is that messy.

It really hit me out of nowhere. I heard the ending was bad, but I thought it was Dexter bad. No, it's "This doesn't seem like it's even the same show" bad haha.
