Proud otaku trying to be cognizant of putting good out into the world and not adding to the cycle of negativity.
Short chapter of SpyxFamily today, but I loved it. We get some background about Donna Schlag, aka, Lady Tonitrus. I couldn't help but notice the parallels between her workout montage and Anya's workout montage from when Yor was training her in dodge ball. Endo's throwbacks are so fun! #SpyxFamily

basically they were talking about how people were stuck in the "shoujo is all shy girl and popular boy" trend that was popular more so in the early 2010s and so I just listed all the actual trending shoujo tropes so here they are

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2 started today, and the end theme, The Story of Us, will definitely be on repeat. Milet is so skilled at injecting the right amount of wistfulness into her music. It's so nostalgic, just like Anytime, Anywhere was. #Milet, #Frieren

The first two episodes of Champignon Witch came out today, and from the first scene backgrounded by a haunting melody, I could already tell that this anime is going to be special. If you are a fan of the fantasy genre, I highly recommend it. #shoujo, #ChampignonWitch

Been working my way through the Super S and Sailor Stars arcs of the original #SailorMoon anime. Naoko Takeuchi deserves so much more credit than I think she gets for its cultural impact which I think happens because it's a #shoujo.

[Episode 15 Pt.3/3]
Absolutely painful sequence for me. She's about to lose her father...
She's torn apart.
And this explains a whole lot about why he acts so emotionless all the time.

Really enjoying the current arc of SpyXFamily. We're seeing a lot of side characters shine in addition to our three main students (Anya, Becky, and Damian), and the underlying message about how important teachers are to kids is a prescient one in today's climate. #SpyxFamily, #Elegant

it's extremely disingenuous to call any analysis/criticism of capitalistic industries like manga and anime through the lens of feminism "weeb logic" or "misinformation"
you can disagree, sure (and I raise my eyebrow at why some disagree so profusely) but that doesn't mean the analysis is baseless
