Bottom right (Whisper Me a Love Song) is explicitly gay, but...yeah

Probably most, if not all them

I'm gonna take the bait anyways tbh

The bottom center one does have a very obviously gay couple in the main cast, but they're basically background characters and their exact relationship is never mentioned, they just live together, are literally never apart, interact with one another in a way that's entirely distinct from how they interact with any of their friends, and quietly comfort one another with very non-friend-like embraces:

But they're not the focus of the show, the absolute trainwrecks Nina and Momoka (the two in the picture in the meme) are and despite people memeing them as a couple they have terrible chemistry and seem to barely interact directly with one another past the first few episodes, like they're friends but not even particularly close friends.

It's not particularly good overall and I wouldn't recommend it. I wrote a somewhat spoilery comparison between it and Jellyfish yesterday since they're rather similar shows to the point of more or less having literally the exact same ending.

I'm not an anime person so I don't even know where to look, would you know where i could watch Girls Band Cry? Ideally english subtitles. I keep seeing cute gay stuff in it and need that in my life.

This one was gonna be so good

K"-On

May favorite anime, Princess Jellyfish, is entirely about adults.

Spy x Family is extremely popular and is centered on adults, and all the children that are in the series aren't sexualised in any capacity. Refreshing tbh

I would probably mention these first and foremost, excluding ones already mentioned:

• Sakura Quest — basically about this woman accidentally getting roped into a small town's tourism micronation gimmick. This one's the GOAT honestly. Super strong recommendation from me.
• Barakamon — about a calligrapher who gets exiled to a small island. Really relaxing vibes. One of my favorites.
• Cells At Work — it's like Once Upon a Time... Life, except way better. It's also like Osmosis Jones except better, because apparently personifying the cells of the human body is not actually a particularly unique idea. Anyways, point is that 9/10 doctors recommend Cells At Work. It's great.
• Lupin III — super long-running series about the grandson of the famous master thief Arsène Lupin. Part II is the most classic and has a great dub. It's episodic and fairly formulaic so you can jump in at any point.
• Aggretsuko — Netflix x Sanrio furry office comedy-drama basically, where the main character basically has this death metal persona. It's a lot of fun.
• Library War — takes place in an alternate timeline where local governments in Japan have established basically militias tasked with protecting libraries from raids conducted by the central government trying to ban books.

I could go on, but I think that's a good amount of very safe choices, though I don't know how many of these would be considered to be "popular" as such. You can of course also use something like Anilist to find anime with the tag "primarily adult cast" and sort by popularity, but I dunno how reliable that is, like if it includes or excludes things it shouldn't.

There aren't a lot, and most of them are older. A few that come to mind are Delicious in Dungeon, Ghost in the Shell, Odd Taxi, Baccano!, and Redline. Three more with one child in a cast of adults (and for all of them, they aren't standard cutesy anime children) are Cowboy Bebop, Golden Kamuy, and Vinland Saga.

One Punch Man technically counts except for Child Emperor (who barely shows up) but Tatsumaki is probably over the line for sexualization of a character who looks like a child.

Less popular but still good: Planetes, Tatami Galaxy, Shirobako, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Patlabor, Black Lagoon, Welcome to the NHK.

Less popular and not great: Akudama Drive, Way of the Househusband.

Bocchi isn't explicitly gay, but the show is pretty gay.

girls band cry is a whole lot of implicit gayness and one good shot of explicitly lebsbiblianism in episode 8. it also just ended this week so it's fresh for the binging

Bottom right. Whispering You a Love Song. It's an actual lesbian romance story. The anime is not the most well done anime in the world (I still find it watchable though) so if you're interested the manga is more recommended.

You haven't seen Bocchi the Rock???
