00:00Welcome to our countdown of the top 10 gender bender anime series where the protagonist literally and permanently changes from male to female.
00:09In these series, the gender change usually occurs due to strange accidents, magic, technology, or experiments,
00:17giving rise to highly entertaining comical and romantic situations.
00:21At the end of the video, we encourage you to leave your comments and subscribe for more content.
00:27Hibiki Amawa is a young physical education teacher looking for work at a girls' high school.
00:32The school principal hates men and does not allow any male teachers there.
00:37Needing the salary, Hibiki dresses up as a woman with the help of his landlady, an eccentric old woman,
00:44and manages to get into the school by posing as a female teacher.
00:48Hibiki is originally a man. His gender change is a technological disguise.
00:52He wears a special bra that simulates female breasts and a choker that modifies his voice to sound feminine.
01:00This allows him to present himself as Teacher Hibiki with a woman's appearance every time he teaches.
01:07The anime explores the contrast between Hibiki's real identity and his feminine appearance, creating comical situations.
01:14For example, a student named Fuko falls in love with Professor Hibiki without suspecting that he is actually a man in disguise.
01:24In addition, each episode includes absurd inventions by the landlady, such as the voice-changing necklace,
01:30to maintain the disguise, with amusing results as Hibiki tries to put an end to sexism at school.
01:36Kagami Sakamori is an expert player of an online role-playing game, Arc Earth Online.
01:43One day, he uses a magical item and is transported to the real world of the game,
01:48but wakes up in the body of his avatar Danbath, a powerful sage, who turns out to be a cute girl.
01:54To fit in, Kagami adopts the name Mira and pretends to be Danbath's student in front of the inhabitants of this fantasy world.
02:02Kagami was a young adult. The transformation occurs through the magic of a video game.
02:08His male consciousness is trapped in Danbath's female body.
02:12Thus, Kagami retains his wizard skills, but with the appearance of a girl.
02:17This ice-guy comedy plays on the surprise of seeing a strong adult in a small, innocent body.
02:23Mira and Kagami must demonstrate their power without revealing the truth,
02:28facing monsters, and using their hidden wisdom.
02:30Funny moments also arise when other characters, thinking that Mira is a normal girl,
02:37do not understand how she can have such magical abilities,
02:40which leads to numerous comical misunderstandings.
02:43Natsuru Sino is a normal boy who is in love with a classmate named Keed.
02:48Suddenly, he receives a magical stuffed animal, Harakiri no Tora,
02:53that informs him that he has been chosen to be a campher, a special warrior in an intergalactic battle.
02:58Natsuru gains the power to transform into a female fighter at will.
03:04Natsuru was a male student.
03:06The gender change comes with a mission.
03:08When he activates his power with a magic key,
03:11he transforms into a campher, a warrior in armor and female clothing.
03:16He can switch between his normal form and his female alter ego, tail red, using the tiger gear.
03:22Upon transforming, Natsuru adopts a more aggressive attitude and gains magical powers in combat.
03:29This leads to a lot of romantic humor.
03:32For example, Keed did not reciprocate his feelings when he was a boy,
03:36but when she sees him in the form of a female fighter, she falls in love with her.
03:41Other rival campher girls also appear, leading to fights and jokes about jealousy and personality changes.
03:48The anime mixes action with many comical scenes about dressing up as a girl and fighting for an intergalactic cause.
03:56Megumi Amitsuka is a nine-year-old boy who saves a stranger and receives a magical book.
04:02Unintentionally, a drop of his blood activates a genie that grants wishes.
04:07Megumi asks to be the strongest, but the genie misunderstands and turns him into a woman.
04:13With a female body, Megumi goes to high school, maintaining his tough boy attitude.
04:19Megumi was an aggressive boy.
04:21The transformation was magical.
04:23When he made his wish, the genie transformed his male body into a female one.
04:29Megumi continues to act and behave like a boy inside a teenage girl's body.
04:34The comedy arises when Mega-chan, as she is called, acts like a rude boy in a girl's body, confusing everyone at school.
04:41For example, her friend Jinzo was shocked to discover that his brusque classmate was a childhood friend transformed.
04:48In addition, many jokes focus on keeping the secret, as only her best friend knows her past.
04:54The anime mixes unintentional romance with humor about school life.
04:59Hazumu Osiraji is a shy boy who confesses his love to his friend Yasuna and is rejected.
05:06Discouraged, he climbs Mount Kishima, where a spaceship crashes.
05:09Hazumu dies on impact, but the aliens rebuild his body to save him.
05:15Due to an error in the resurrection, they revive him as a woman.
05:20Hazumu was a teenage boy.
05:22The transformation occurs through alien technology.
05:25When rebuilding his body, the aliens regenerate him with female sex.
05:30Hazumu retains his original mind, but physically lives as a high school girl.
05:35From then on, a peculiar love triangle emerges between Hazumu and a girl's body, Yasuna, and another classmate named Tamari.
05:44The three must struggle with their feelings, as they are all in love with Hazumu, but are unsure whether to confess now that he is a woman.
05:52The anime combines romantic drama and comedy.
05:56We see Hazumu adapting to female life.
05:59Uniforms, classes, friendship, while exploring his new identity, all with a light and humorous tone.
06:06Ryu Yamada is a rebellious high school student.
06:09Yurara Shuraishi is the most studious girl in school.
06:13One day, after a supernatural incident, Yamada and Yurara switch bodies.
06:18He ends up at her body, and vice versa.
06:21From that moment on, they begin a new school year full of adventures as they investigate the mystery of the seven witches of Suzaku High School.
06:30Yamada was a boy.
06:31The gender change comes from a magical power.
06:34When Yurara kisses him, her witch powers are activated, causing their bodies to switch.
06:40Thus, Yamada lives for a time as a girl inside Yurara's body.
06:44The body swap leads to many embarrassing and funny situations.
06:48Yamada has to pretend to be Yurara in front of her friends, studying and behaving like a girl, which leads to comical scenes.
06:57In addition, the dynamic leads to romance.
07:00They both fall in love while living in each other's skin.
07:03Each new, which they kiss, allows them to switch back or copy powers, adding more supernatural twists to this romantic school comedy.
07:11Mahiro Oyama is a reclusive otaku whose life changes radically.
07:16One day, he wakes up as a girl.
07:18His younger sister, Mahari, who is an eccentric scientist, confesses that she transformed him into a woman as part of an experiment.
07:27From that moment on, Mahiro must adapt to his new body and attend high school as a female student.
07:33Mahiro was a young man.
07:35The transformation occurs through science.
07:38Mahari alters Mahiro's body to turn him into a woman.
07:42Mahiro retains his original personality, but is now physically a teenage girl.
07:47The anime focuses on Mahiro's initial awkwardness living as a girl.
07:52At first, he doesn't know how to dress like a woman or communicate in a feminine way, which leads to many comical scenes.
08:00In addition, old acquaintances do not recognize him, and Mahiro is surprised to learn about makeup, cute clothes, and female social dynamics.
08:10All these situations, seen through otaku innocence, produce very funny moments as Mahiro discovers life from the other gender.
08:17Soji Mitsuka is a normal boy obsessed with twin tails.
08:22Suddenly, Turul, a guardian from another world, appears before him, along with monsters who want the spiritual energy of girls with twin tails.
08:32Turul gives him an artifact called Tailgear that allows him to transform into Tail Red, a heroine with long twin tails and magical powers to protect the earth.
08:43Soji was a high school boy.
08:44When he activates the tail gear, he becomes Tail Red, a 15-year-old girl with giant pigtails and a combat suit.
08:52It's a magical transformation.
08:54Soji alternates between his normal form and the female form of a twin tail warrior at will.
09:00In his tail red form, Soji acquires an anxious and even flirtatious personality, something unexpected in him.
09:09This leads to funny situations.
09:10People are surprised to see a boy transform into a girl.
09:14His childhood best friend, Aika, becomes jealous when she doesn't know that they are both the same Soji.
09:21In general, the humor comes from his passion for pigtails, the exaggeration of his magical powers, and references to magical warrior series, all with an absurd and funny touch.
09:33Verdi Cephinol Terra is a space agent who investigates criminals on earth.
09:37During a mission, she accidentally kills a student named Tsutomu Senkawa.
09:42To save him, she merges her body with his using advanced alien technology.
09:48From then on, Tsutomu shares Verdi's body.
09:51He can appear as a normal boy or take on Verdi's female form while she recovers her energy.
09:56Tsutomu was a male high school student.
09:59The gender change is science fiction.
10:01His consciousness is integrated into Verdi's body.
10:05Although he retains his personality, by sharing a body with Verdi, he takes on the appearance of an attractive space agent, i.e. Verdi's female form.
10:15The series combines action with gender-bending sitcom comedy.
10:19Tsutomu, in Verdi's body, must hide this secret from his friends and family,
10:24which leads to funny scenes when he, out of nowhere, appears as the beautiful Verdi.
10:28There is also romantic tension.
10:31Verdi falls in love with her space police partner,
10:34and Tsutomu receives attention from some girls while transformed as Verdi.
10:38The gender contrast provides both comical moments of hidden identity and science fiction battles.
10:44Rama Sodom is a young martial artist who, as a child, accidentally fell into a cursed pond in China.
10:51Because of this curse, every time Rama gets wet with cold water,
10:55he transforms into a red-haired girl.
10:58And to become a man again, he needs to get wet with hot water.
11:02The anime follows his misadventures as he tries to break this spell amid absurd fights and unwanted suitors.
11:10Rama was a normal boy.
11:11The gender change is magical-slash-accidental.
11:15After falling into the enchanted pond,
11:18contact with cold water instantly turns him into a woman,
11:21and hot water returns him to a man.
11:23Therefore, Rama lives his life alternating between both genders without wanting to.
11:29This comedy classic exploits the gender change to create very funny confusion.
11:34Rama must deal with his own suitors and rivals in both his male and female forms.
11:39For example, his fiancée Akane recognizes him in both states,
11:44but many new characters do not recognize him when he transforms.
11:47Scenes such as Rama being embarrassed in public when changing
11:52or pretending to be someone of the opposite sex are recurrent.
11:56In addition, the fact that he fights equally hard in either form adds comical challenges.
12:02His rivalry with Ryoga, Yukio, and other warriors leads to fights where hot water
12:07is never lacking at the key moment.
12:09And that wraps up our top 10.
