Let's make a definitive list of trans representation in anime/manga (hexbear.net)

So this spawned from a discussion in the tracha matrix chat. We're trying to come up with a list of any anime/manga that has trans representation, whether that's good, bad, or meh. Here are the rules of what to include:

Format (anime, manga, or both)
Genre
Title and brief description of the plot, major trans characters, and how well they are represented as trans.
A simple rating of good, bad, or meh. This is so people can find good ones or avoid ones that are bad/problematic representations.

Hopefully these requirements make sense, but let me know if I should make any adjustments here.

Anime
Sci-Fi, Action
Metallic Rouge is an action anime that explores themes of enslavement, political violence, free will, and some other stuff. The plot is a bit convoluted but is tied together around the looming specter of android revolution. Two significant side characters are identical twins despite being different genders. The cast accepts them and no one makes an issue out of their genders. But besides this acknowledgment there is no further exploration of transgender themes.
Ep 7 reveal about the twins
They are actually plural, so they share one body.

Ending

And they're not killed off!

So overall rating would be OK because it's just very casual representation but nothing deep.
