In the Name of the Disabled Princess: Disability Metaphor in “In The Name of the Mermaid Princess”
Metaphor can be tricky when it comes to discussion of representation. Often it can come across as heavy handed or dismissive, especially for disability

From Spacetoon to Subtitles: How Arabic-Dubbed Anime Shaped a Generation: Amal Hasan, explores the history of the Spacetoon TV channel, and the impact that it's had on Arabic anime fandom and pop culture.

From Spacetoon to Subtitles: How Arabic-Dubbed Anime Shaped a Generation
Even now, the initial sounds of the time-honored Arabic opening theme of Detective Conan or a Grendizer figurine in a shop window can induce a profound wave of wonder from childhood. It is living evidence that a brightly colored channel from our youth did a great deal more than shape our viewing habits; it defined a generation's sense of wonder, belonging, and identity.

Oh hi, we're back from break today 💖

Also, there's a new season of 'Tis Time For "Torture", Princess, so I'm going to be extra annoying this season.

You have been warned.

We have a couple of "B-grade" copies available for $13.50 USD - these have a minor cosmetic imperfection - a bend on the cover, a small bend due to being placed into our PO Box, that kind of stuff. But they're still 100% readable, and fully intact.

(And by "a couple", I mean "two.")
