Strawberry-Eggs!" an anime about a man who needs a job and crossdresses to work at a school that only hires women...its 13 episodes if i remember right, but i LOVED it! and it has something many of us fantisice about, a final touch, they have a necklace, that actually changes your voice flawlessly when worn.lol, but check it out if ur looking for a good anime, its all on youtube!!!

My son loves Animé, and it seems a bit of it has some CDing.

Maybe that's why he has no problem with my CDing?

I don't watch it, but he has lots of videos.

Haha, yes I have alot of friends that watch anime, even one that watches anime, the news, and plays online Halo II, all on diffferent screens. Anyway, I think it's pretty entertaining when I come across it. There are alot of themes in anime that are very sympathetic to transgenderism.

I love anime. It has always showed openness to transgenderness. I know not really a word but I am using it anyways. I can name three series that were on Japanese television that had either a crossdressing main or supporting roles. Ranma 1/2 had the main turn in to a girl when cold water was thrown on him. El Hazad had the main cded because he was a perfect match to the princess of the world it took place in. Also in the latter years of Sailor Moon there were the Sailor scouts which were male charecters that when they activated their powers their outfits changed to school girl uniforms. Those seasons are not shown in the US because they are too dark and the sailor moon is wearing black leather. Damn censors.

The "girls" were originally just cartoons, but have been redone as anime, called Powerpuff Girls Z.

Anime is basically Japanese animation.

My son collects and watches Ammie.. The Japannese are very open minded about crossdressing. They even have a relaity show where men crossdress and compete.
