I'm putting this thread up as a reference to any characters I come across as looking like they are grouped in the wrong gender category. Of course, anyone else can use this and I'm kind of counting on Rei to look into any questionables that are brought up here. Here's one to start out with:

http://www.animecharactersdatabase.com/viewone.php?id=3020

(transvestite? Looks awful masculine to me for a girl)

Ok, Yuuji isn't human after the first episode but he sure isn't a gal, you'd think the love triangle would hint away from that. Also, he is a main character of Shakugan no Shana as well.

Ok, theres one you'll have to watch, it's hilarious. ...And yes, the main character is a guy even though he wears a hairband.

kawaii ousama mitai ne? doesn't look much like a girl to me but I could be wrong with the cute factor there.

All three of those are male, and have now been corrected. Thanks for spotting them.

Kazuma Azuma... setting him to male now.

Ousama mo? Correcting...

well, I have seen girls with masculine faces like that but I don't see much in the way of body definition that would put this character as a girl.

looks like a guy to me, and a very happy one too being bunched with the girls lol

...oh yes, if you would like me to change the gender tag then could you please put the values down in the QC tool for gender?

this kind of looks like a girl to me.

not sure but looks like a guy

Gora is a guy, given his personality I think he'd be pretty steamed to be told he was a girl.

"he" looks a little feminine, not to mention the name is also quite feminine.

Could you check my last post's links as well?

First batch I'll agree with all of them. You can change them, codes are
1 = male
2 = female

http://www.animecharactersdatabase.com/viewone.php?id=9875 Hmm... hmm... yeah female.

This character is voiced by Gou Inoue. I find that in 99.9% of all cases, when the voice actor is male, so is the character (whereas female seiyuu commonly voice characters of both gender).

Pardon the double post, but there is something odd about labelling Mariya Shidou as "female" when he is a known cross-dresser (and in fact this is central to the show's plot). Does "Apparent Gender" mean you judge solely on appearance even in cases like these?

This is really getting to be an endless cycle...

To make everyone happy, once I get home from University, I'll look into making it so we have two Indexes for characters:

1. How the look in the image
2. What they actually are

This way cross dressers (aka traps) can be entered as looking female, and being male.
