What’s with the latest simulcast in Crunchyroll?

Let me first start off with me saying I have no problems with anyone’s personal preferences or any communities. I’m simply just curious as to why I’ve noticed more simulcast anime’s this season release leaning more towards a same sex relationship as opposed to what I’ve watched through seasons of simulcasts of, what I would assume as a safe word for it, traditional romances?

Was there a high peak of interest recently and therefore it’s a copied story going from one to the next to keep the high peak or have I just never noticed because I’d pick 5-6 anime’s to watch and ignored the other 6-7 that were there?

I’ve enjoyed each anime this season that I have watched, the literal bromances that lean more towards actual romance has caught me off guard but not to the point of turning me away from the story-lines and anime itself.

Has anyone noticed or am I just an oddball catching up to the times? lol

no I just think it's that time of year when shoujo and yuri series come out typically winter or spring ( these types come out anytime really it's just there seems to be a pattern with Valentine's day / white day? being in this season.

Congrats you just got the teensiest taste of what gay people have to deal with all the time when watching media.
Now suck it up and enjoy some gay romances which are, believe it or not, just as traditional as straight ones.

Thank you for taking offense? lol literally said I had no issues and that I was continuing to watch the anime. Was just curious if there was something going on to explain it; if it’s just going to be more because there just is more… that’s completely fine. I was just curious

I do agree with your reply op. I don't believe his actions represent the community.\nBoth the anime and the lgbtq+ community. It was my understanding( correct me if i'm wrong) firstly, you're relatively new to anime. And that this is the first time you've been exposed to more Queer content In general. This type of content is not really uncommon or unusual. Do take my reply with the green of salt.Because of the fact that I do watch this kind of content semi frequently. If you would like to discuss this topic in more detail or some more anime.\nFeel free to private message me.

I appreciate the response, it is late in the evening so I won’t message you privately tonight. I’ll think of any further questions and curiosity over night and communicate with you in the near future for sure. I have no qualms with the lgbtq+ community. Just curious to the relativity of the popularity in anime… if that makes sense. Thank you for letting me know the original response here isn’t a “typical” response from the community as I meant no harm/offense to begin with.

I don't think ive even seen the ones you're talking about. But its just whatever manga thats popular and they've decided to make into an anime. Usually they pick a set (plenty of isekai, your actions shonen jump, romance, slice of life) and the stories are what ever. They just seem to pick a broad range to appeal to lots of people. Theres something for everyone. You could pick anyone of those bases and write thousands of stories about them and no two would appeal to the same people.

Yeah, I love isekai’s and shonen’s for sure. Romance within them can be fun too but not what I watch them for.
