lets hang out posted:

for some reason the best gem isn't on the poll????



truly it's a crime

though i voted for lapis' disembodied head, who has been a very good influence on phos

the official translation has no problem with using non-gendered pronouns and being pretty clear about it. i suppose i don't really expect a free fan tl to be on the same level, but it is still jarring and out of place to me every time i read the male pronouns. whether or not it is significantly harder, the translators obviously don't care to preserve this ambiguity (which is intentional on Ichikawa's part) and so they just go for the easy option and translate the pronouns as male.

Is it really that ambiguous when the anime just makes them all cute girls anyway?

it is when they still have the menswear/schoolboy influenced clothing, purposely cast multiple VAs known for androgynous voices, and include the gems that aren't femme

also the sea king has breasts
