To balance all the lesbian talk, the first convention I went to I ended up rooming with a bunch of girls from the university anime club that Kinky Cookie Bunny was part of. KCB brought me along because the con was during valentines day so while we were spending valentines day together one of the other girls in the room started talking about how she bought a whole bunch of gay anime porn at the merch hall and kept talking with one of the other girls about how yaoi stuff is automatically better than yuri because they have better stories and they have romance and basically they were trying to justify why their porn was better and had more heart and substance than other porn. One of the defenders was a lesbian which I thought was kinda strange but whatever floats her boat. So they're all "we bought some yaoi porn dvds at the merchant hall and we're gonna watch them" and I'm just like "ok later I'm going to sleep." Then I had a seizure while I was sleeping so the EMTs had to keep checking on me so they never got to watch their gay anime porn lol

tbf most of the shows with yaoi subtext are red blood shonen action shows with lots of fights and screaming, whereas the shows with yuri subtext tend to be low key and about doing cute-things

but that's just for subtext, i make no conclusions for outright gay loving

a lot of lesbian anime nerds are really into yaoi for some reason. imo i think it's internalized miso- *is melted into tumblr soup and eaten by orcs*

eh. my girlfriend's more-or-less lesbian and kinda into yaoi and the way she explains it is that it's a relatively "safe" way for her to interact with stories about sex and relationships, since the fact that women are mostly out of the picture means that it's probably not going to be pushing some idea of what women are like or how they should be

Hey guys. Japan is really, really loving fun. If you ever have the chance to go, do it.

You don't even need to know much Japanese. I have a couple key phrases I use and I've gotten around no problem. The only confusing thing for me was the bus in Sapporo today, because I've never taken public transit (l live out in the boonies so I have to own a car).

It's funny that yaoi was brought up because two girls on the trip already bought gay porn doujinshi. One girl did think that her Evangelion comic was 2 dudes DPing a girl though, and was shocked it was a dude when told, because apparently the person seemed to have tits.

JAPAN!

The one time I used a bus in Japan I accidentally gave then too much money and the bus driver gave me a voucher for 5 yen off my next trip. That's like 5 cents or something.

Also Japanese bus drivers turn their engines off whenever they stop at lights or a junction. :psyduck:

Now that I think of it, I watched the dub, many years ago. Perhaps I'll enjoy it more watching the subs? It's one of maybe, 2-3 shows I've watched dubbed. I didn't like the ending, though.

Was in Tokyo for 4 days. Now in Sapporo in Hokaido and going to visit Hakodate this weekend. Then on the 17th I fly back down to Kyoto for 2 days and then back home.

I'm staying with a host family who have been super nice, but holy poo poo they love to eat. They make so much food I'm full and sleepy afterwards.

Here is my favourite scene in Kung Fury. Someone posted the movie in here a couple days back. It's real good.

Is it possible to make into a avatar the part where: "Hello is this the police?" "Yeah this is the police" "gently caress you!" *bang*

I Failed At Anime 2022
Yaoi is about the only genre where a lot of the main characters are 30+ and will often feature aspects of their jobs into the plots so if they're cops or yakuza or samurai or something you can end up with a pretty action-y plot outside all the loving.

I never finished Space Dandy.Pretty sure the last bit I watched was Yuasa's episode with the fish. My favorite episodes were that, the plant episode, and the s1 finale.
