The unfortunate part about the deluge of anime now readily available is that it leads to a different problem - curation. Stories of gay characters aren’t new to the genre, there are quite a few that deal with the LGBTQ experience, but with so many titles being added to streaming services every month it may be hard to know where they are. That is not to say there are spaces for other titles, ones that tell stories of the underrepresented. It’s powered by the Kamehameha blasts, shinobi battles and grand adventures of pirates that make up much of the anime introduced to western countries long before streaming platforms made so many other shows accessible. There is no denying what fuels interest in anime.
