Anime with canon same sex relationships

[sqbr]

This isn't a deep post. just an off topic tangent from this discussion.

So, ones I can think of off the top of my head (my brain has of course gone blank):

• Revolutionary Girl Utena
  
• Card Captor Sakura
  
• Sailor Moon? (I haven't seen it)
  
• Check the comments for many more!
  

It doesn't have to be the main characters, my point was that sometimes in anime (unlike mainstream western tv) you can think "Those two have such good chemistry, wouldn't it be great if they got together!" and they do.

EDIT: Obviously I'm not the best judge of this myself but the aim is stories one can enjoy as representations of queerness not unrealistic yaoi etc, and relatively mainstream anime that a typical sff geek might easily encounter and enjoy.

There's also lots where the subtext never quite becomes text but isn't actively contradicted either, like (as I recall) "Read or Die".

Yes, Sailor Moon has a canonical lesbian couple in the later seasons (Haruka [Sailor Uranus] and Michiru [Sailor Neptune]). There's also Zoicite/Kunzite in the first season for m/m.

Noir is awesome and everyone should watch it.

Maria-sama ga Miteru has a lot of overt subtext without QUITE going there, with the notable exception of the tragic past relationship between Sei and Shiori (Shiori transferred away, intending to become a nun).

Strawberry Panic is not very deep or particularly engaging, imo, but it has three all-female love triangles.

Kannazuki no Miko is one I haven't seen myself, but it has canon f/f.

Um... Oh! Battle Athletes Victory! A strange anime about an all-girl sports competition... in space. With canon f/f.

I haven't seen Simoun yet, but I've seen people gush about its f/f content.

And I'm sure there are many, many more.
