the author of that wrote a pretty widely criticized biographical manga about being pansexual that got cancelled over her expressing some pretty typically weird biotruths about the differences between men and women so it seems like, the work of someone who has very odd thoughts on gender and sexuality and confused ideas of how to express them

the one funny thing to note about this manga is that the plot explanation for why the main character is the one heterosexual woman on earth is because there was an astronaut who wasn't on earth when the asteroids hit, so he was the one heterosexual man left on earth

In a world where heterosexuality no longer exists...

lmao but also man that biotruths bit sucks 😔

i think my gateway manga was me buying tokyo mew mew volume 1 at a book fair in like 5th grade?? anime was probably dubbed pokemon eps on vhs or seeing some yugioh dm on tv before seeing bits of like, sailor moon (and fansubbed tmm eps in 3 parts and stuff) on yt

i mostly remember feeling kind of disappointed/underwhelmed with diebuster vs really liking gunbuster

i think part of it is the pacing issues people mentioned and the main relationship feeling kind of undercooked?

also, it's cool that diebuster is a yuri mecha anime. i like that aspect

yeah that part deffo owns!! 💪

and yea i get what ur saying with the homage aspects and identity and stuff, for me i think gunbuster landed better because of it being a simpler story (and also the robot is very cool) :)

homeless snail posted:

the funny thing about gunbuster cribbing from aim for the ace, is that there is no coach romance arc in ace, thats a top invention. the ace coach arc is the weird relationship with his estranged sister who also happens to be hiromi's rival, and slight bitterness that he chose hiromi's passion over oranko's objective tennis skill. in ace, coach is gay for a buddhist monk

the coach was p gay for the monk in ace which was Cool but then also iirc ace or ace 2 kind of vaguely implied coach was Into hiromi too??

oh yea like 2 days ago i saw the second ideon movie Be Invoked on yt, it was p cool even tho my frame of reference was "i read wiki articles for the plot summary and i think saw exactly ep 1 of the show a few years ago, also some tv clips and srw move compilations" and its very funny it just throws u Straight into the action

i thought it sucked but that was the frame of reference of having seen the whole series shortly before, and thinking compilation movies are categorically bad

Sakurazuka posted:

The first movie barely even counts as cliff notes it's just a selection of scenes from the TV series in chronological order with a couple of new bits and doesn't even attempt to string them into a cohesive narrative.

wait how are we defining "dark magical girl" shows? like, post-madoka? the only show i've heard of like that is like, "magical girl site", which is apparently Bad

sailor moon has some dark parts to it, and tmm does too im p sure

live action sailor moon owns bones

also yea i feel like theres a difference between dark Parts (like in sm or tmm where something bads going on) vs the like, Tone of a show being dark, and i think those two things tend to get conflated a lot (especially when it comes to magical girl stuff, which is basically the same as mecha stuff)

I'm guessing from context that the qcs manga is like, depicting extremely shocking things being done to children but isn't reveling in them as fetish fuel, but talking about how hosed up they are?

i've never read/watched it myself but that thread cited some pretty weird rear end stuff in it like a sentient toilet licking someone after they use it?? and im p sure whenever i see Made in Abyss recced it always has a giant asterisk on the side for it being really creepy or smth? :yikes:
