Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

And it's 2021. No one is impressed. Also, I find it hilarious that you have this opinion on gay characters while having Asuka on your flag. Have you ever seen Eva? That show was hella gay. TvTropes got a whole section on it.

It’s more gay in the rebuilds. I am aware about Shinji and Kaworu as well as Ritsuko and Maya, however, Eva is far so much to me that I can tolerate this. TVTropes got sections on everything bruh, one of the coolest websites IMO

I can't speak for Laka Strolistandiler but I think it depends on the quality of writing and if it suffers on the alter of identity politics. For example:

Catra / She-ra: Completely believable couple which adds to the story. Not that sexuality has to be a plot point but if they're going to divert from canon then they should at least do a good job at it, which they have done in ths case.

Sinnerela / Netossa: token Netflixing.

Also while Bow is a good character generally, it is ridiculous and hypocritical that yet another ginger character in adapted media is blackwashed.

I mean like... not that I watch She-ra or anything..

Never look around these forums, but I don't think it's a problem to dislike Yaoi/gay innuendo stuff in anime. I mean, apart from the exaggerations of fangirling on clearly-not-gay ones, I don't like but I also don't have any problems with that, liking or not liking won't alter my sexual orientation/option/whatever you define who you like to have se-

(se-, like in Kaguya-sama: Love is War. I just re-watched this, it's light-hearted, simple and funny. I've been re-watching these funny ones in these difficult days.)

Just watched the first in a series of OVAs based on the 1980s manga Shonan Bakusozoku, or Bomber Bikers of Shonan. It's pretty corny but still a fun ride, pun very much intended. It's about three bōsōzoku or biker gangs, and is a fascinating little piece of Japanese social and cultural history in and of itself, given that it not only represents a particular era of animation but is also a snapshot of a period in Japanese history when these biker gangs- which have by and large died out since the '90s- loomed large in Japanese popular culture. Apparently Shonan Bakusozoku was pretty popular when it came out and helped launch the "delinquent" genre of anime and manga. I have a soft spot for the "delinquent with a heart of gold" type of characters in anime, so I was quite happy to watch a whole cast cut from that cloth being idiots for 50 minutes.

What a funny coincidence; I just watched kenny lauderdale's vid about this show, and I've been meaning to check it out myself.
I normally don't like older shows, but I tend to try out particularly interesting examples such as this one.

I have made it a personal mission to watch lots of terrible anime lately, for the meme.

Anime like Pupa, Conception, Absolute Duo, Spectral Force. It's exhausting, but some of them had "so bad it's good" moments. It's sometimes just fun to hate on them, too, or they help one understand what actually makes for a good anime.
One of these days, I'm going to burst a blood vessel in my brain.

Given that Stone Ocean can easily be called Florida Woman: The Anime, having it on December sounds...like a Bizarre Holiday Season waiting to happen.

On an unrelated note, I've been binging on songs and musicians referenced in JoJo. And then I learn that Anasui is going to be voiced by the same guy as Hisoka and Momoshiki Otsutsuki...

so I just started re-watching Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou AKA girls last tour and OMG I forgot how good it was. It's gives me this strange feeling of melancholy sometimes but is also so upbeat.

I enjoy watching multiple anime at once, for different purposes (example: Not watching Sarazanmai on the bus, while Futari wa Precure: Max Heart is great while waiting for bus after work)
Ongoing:
1-Sarazanmai
2-Carole & Tuesday
3-OPM S2
4-Isekai Quartet
5-Senko-san
6-Hitori Bocchi
7-Dragon ball filler list.
8-hunter x hunter
9-The Rose of Versailles
10-Heidi: Girl of the Alps
11-My hero academia filler list.
**Favorites / Least Favorites:
**Sarazanmai and Yuu Yuu Hakusho is my favorite of the ongoing shows on animefillerlist, while The Rose of Versailles is probably my favorite of the non-ongoing shows.Dororo is probably my least favorite of the ongoing right now, varying in quality between the episodes. Tweeny Witches is my least favorite of the non-ongoing shows.

Finally "Fruits Basket: The Final''. Because I watched the original series way back when and also read the manga and scan-llations when I was unable to find the manga, finishing the remake felt like saying goodbye to an old friend. I feel kind of sad still, even though I finished the anime 2 days ago. Does anyone else feels that way when they finish a beloved series?

The Seven Deadly Sins. Currently, watching season 3, the animation is a bit off but other than that it's pretty good. Should have watched sooner.

Eh, Youjo Senki the anime will always feel more like anedgefest then a interesting story. The books though I think are decent. It comes across more as "I'm a ruthless capitalist and logistician, and I don't give a fuck," then teenage angst.

It makes sense though, because I think what really sells the books is the narration, and that doesn't translates well to anime.
