🌺 my top picks: GL + lesbian 🌈 ⚢

#1-28 are ordered very loosely by how much i enjoyed the title overall, not necessarily for representation.
#29-30 are currently watching/unfinished; or ptw airing soon.
#30 on are unwatched, first ordered by released/unreleased then loosely by interest. (below those may be titles to sort.) 

labels:
GL = lesbian relationship is a significant part of the story.
QC = queer cinema, more realistic portrayals.
censored GL = either chinese GLs skirting censorship laws, or "sismance" adapted from lesbian source material.
lesbian = representation but either no romantic and/or physical relationship between female characters, or an ambiguous relationship, or relationship is clear but the couple does not have much screen time. 

notes:  labels do not indicate a "happy ending".  some characters are not introduced or identified as gay (or bisexual) from the start, so spoilers are possible - proceed at your own risk!  for cw warnings on anything you may find disturbing or offensive (depictions of queerphobias, discrimination, shaming, violence, abuse, or other triggering content), please check tags* on the title's page, user reviews, and/or Does the Dog Die (although not all titles are there). [*click "Vote or add tags" to see all - but this will include spoilers.]

pee.ess. i add personal notes to my lists because i use them for my own reference and it's unlikely that anyone else is reading. if you are here and you are not me, then i hope you can overlook this clutter if it's of no use to you.
