there is no "original manga" for utena, the manga and anime were created at the same time. chiho saito literally just hates gay people

the utena dub also completely missed that juri was gay and like what her whole arc was about. i think only juri's VA was like "uhhhh guys"

The translation seems awkward but it seems like he means it as 'this is what's expected' or 'normally,' yeah.

It's funny but it's worth noting he wasn't evne kidding about it being a joke, weird a sentence as that is. The anime doesn't introduce any fakeout deaths for him that the manga didn't have and if anything gives him more screentime, even after Ikuhara becomes lead director.
i respect him for trying

i dont think ikuhara actually dislikes or wants to kill tuxedo mask, if anything he seems to like him quite a lot. he dislikes his use in the manga and to a certain extent the show as a barometer for usagi's 'purity' or whatever, compared to haruka/seiya/that one guy in s1 who ran the arcade and then never showed up again, who are all presented as not just romantic rivals but like, grave threats to Usagi's ability to be a heroine somehow.

arcade guy was so bizarre because he was sort of a romantic rival but also like. did literally nothing across the entirety of his screentime so by the time he disappears you don't really even notice

I remember Please Sav My Earh had a subplot where two of the boys were a cis couple in their past lives on the moon and one of them still feels attraction for the other so they have to deal w that. Can't recall how that went down. Please Save My Earth got weird.

Don't forget about the threat of Umino, that cool and sexy dude.

umino is just the living proof alongside tuxedo mask's later appearances that some of the dudes in sailor moon are fine when they're used for decent gags

What's this from?

King of Prism: Pride the Hero, which is the second movie spinoff sequel to Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live, a 51 episode magical girls-esque idol anime. None of which were ever officially licensed, but they are available through fansubs. Seven Shiny Stars airing this season follows all that though, and it's on Crunchyroll, though you might not have good context if you just start watching there.

Yeah, wasn’t sure if we had a system of what went where, thought I remembered posts on anime-related news/scandals that happened during a season (Vic Mignogna etc.) being posted in the season thread at the time.

Thanks for your service of looking at his Facebook (not sarcasm, never know what horrible poo poo you’ll find there), the post about A-kon had me thinking he was an anime-specific Qanon guy and we might have just come close to a mass shooting at a con, but I guess he was really a generic nerd would-be mass-murderer :smith:.

Honestly his facebook seemed pretty normal. It was 90% generic star wars and history memes and 10% gently caress liberals stuff, but not even like, an excessively violent level of gently caress liberals stuff. And he doesn't seem to have any real connective tissue from his politics to his nerd interests.

News outlets mostly just seem to be running with the anime weirdo thing because it's a more clickbaity/interesting angle than 'guy who maybe owns a star wars shirt in your community college history class.'

Gay, straight, poly, whatever. I just want more shows that explore finding healthy relationships. The synopsis I got of Given is that it's kinda doing that.

I'll watch Quartet if Subaru dies randomly and nobody bats an eye or cares one bit. Has that happened yet?

I'm pretty hype for Given. I haven't read the manga but it's been on my list to read for a while and I've read some other stuff by the same author that I liked quite a bit.
