What is the straightest anime of all time?

Came back to recommend another, "GANGSTA."

Be warned, the anime only has a single season, as the studio responsible went bankrupt pretty much right after they shat out GANGSTA. It's a real shame considering everything about it was interesting, and cool as fuck. If you don't mind reading manga, you can always continue the story if you're invested, although I'm not sure if the mangaka actually finished the manga sadly.

A bunch of hyper masculine males dominating each other...

Yeah, that's one of the problems with hyper-masculine anime (Fist of North Star, DBZ, Berserk, etc). Bara gays fetishize masculinity, so while the violence and muscles might keep the faggy femme gays and even-faggier fujoshi away, there is a lot of homoerotic appeal. At best, they're bisexual animes.

That's why my instinctive answer to the question "what is the straightest anime" would be a fanservice series; something like Highschool of the Dead, Ikkitousen, or Queen's Blade. Violent and "macho", but the focus is less on shirtless sweaty dudes and more on chicks with huge tits losing their clothes. You gotta walk a fine line, though, because if make your anime too porny and gynocentric, it can become AGP troonbait. You can always compromise and pull back on certain aspects - Bastard!!! for example, which doesn't have many prominent female characters for AGPs to latch on to, Gunbusters, which keeps the girls in mobile suits most of the time, or Ranma 1/2, which seems tranny but is apparently TERF according to the Twitter cows I follow? - but any time sex gets involved, things get volatile.

So, ironically enough, the straightest animes may well be the most "serious" ones; Akira, Grave of the Fireflies, possibly even Miyazaki's work. Something that's mature, thoughtful, and doesn't ruin your capacity for pair bonding.

Ironically, Ranma 1/2

The story of Ranma 1/2 is about a teenage boy and his father training in martial arts together. The father one day suggests they take a trip to China to train at a lake where famed martial artists have also trained. There, they encounter ponds where various animals and humans have drowned. The boy falls into a pond where a young girl commited suicide and as a result the boy is cursed to transform into a girl every time he touches water. The father falls into a pond where a panda drowned and is similarly cursed to transform into a panda when he touches water. The only way to transform back to their original forms is with very hot water.

Giving up on the training locale in shame, the father and son return to their dojo in Japan where another disciple of their martial art style owns a dojo. The other disciple is a man with three daughters and the two fathers decide to marry the boy to one of the daughters. The eldest and middle sister reject the deal and leave the youngest daughter to marry the boy. The boy, however, is not good enough in the martial art to take over the dojo school so the father and son live at the dojo to train. The other family discovers the curse the father and son have acquired. Hilarity ensues.

Much like Chrischan, the boy, Ranma, uses his female transformation for advantages as a woman. Unlike trannies, however, Ranma's transformation is complete in which even his chromosomes and physiology change to that of a woman. He hates the curse with a passion but acknowledges that it gives him more opportunity to trick his opponents and others as a woman. The youngest sister planned to wed Ranma, Akane, mocks his curse although Ranma shits on her by stating his female form has bigger tits that her.

Ranma 1/2 is your average harem anime where the protagonist is more concerned with fighting martial arts than the women fighting (literal hand to hand combat) over him. As the show goes on, more rivals show up as well as more women who demand the boy's hand in marriage. Not once do any characters do gay shit and the master of the dojo's martial arts style is an old man who steals neighborhood womens underwear. If you like martial arts and slice of life anime, I recommend it.

sorry I phone posted this and my niggerthumbposting sucks
