Animation (and Comics) after 30

Rules:


Are you:

Do you feel like high school dramas and edgelord power fantasies just don't provide you with the same entertainment value they did when you were younger? Are you skeeved out by panty shots and lewd angles of girls young enough to be your daughter? Perhaps you're bored by the "will they won't they" of a bunch of kids freaking out over their first kiss. Maybe everything is starting to feel like a slurry of tired old tropes. But if despite all this you still enjoy the drawn medium, even after aging out of its key demographic, welcome!

Let's help each other find some animation/comics that are a bit more age-appropriate (or at least that don't make you go "hey, isn't this just a repackaged version of [series from 20 years ago]?"). Reviews, recommendations, requests, laments, memes all welcome.

I haven't been able to keep up with recent releases this year, so 2026's question is:

What are the gayest/queerest/transiest(???) titles in animation/comics currently being released?

I'm talking any anime/manga/animation/comics that dropped this side of June 1, 2025 (continuing series are OK). Did 2025-26 have anything that could top (heh) this cover of Gay Comix #12 from 1988?

I recently got, and played through, Thrifty Business on steam

I didn't know it was so pro gay/trans going in but it was a nice surprise. Real chill game, check it out

Like I said I haven't really been keeping up this year, but I heard The Mighty Nein animation is finally out, and I know from watching Critical Role that the Nein & friends are hella queer (not pictured: aro/ace king Caduceus Clay).
