I'll be enthusiasticly watching AOT and Sarazanmai. I'll wait for some reviews before starting OPM. My other half might want to check out Carol & Tuesday.

Twitch is showing OPM and it's strange to see a chat filled with with people excited for season 2.

Someone please reassure me it will be ok.

Have I missed the news, or has no one announced they're picking up Sarazanmai?

Sarazanmai and Bungo Stray Dogs have been picked up by Crunchyroll.

Yeah the second half is a trip alright

I think I read a quote in a japanese board that was like "Yeah, unlike Starlight, this is true madness"

I am making myself wait until my other half comes home (this will be the first Ikuhara show I'm showing him blind) and it is so hard when people post things like this.

don't care about the character designs so long as the writing is good, unlike arise.

This. I haven't seen anything in the franchise since SAC and it seems like a good decision.

I think we can acknowledge the good of something without pretending that a 55 year old straight cis dude swooped down from on high to save gay rights.
Not that this excuses people saying Ikuhara invented gay whatever, but if I had to pick any anime directors as queer, Ikuhara and Sayo Yamamoto are the entirety of the list.

thats a weird list considering the kind of stuff ikuhara has said in interviews

Links? I'm not aware of very many where he's actually he's actually answered questions with much depth.

I think this is a very weird road to go down, because making gay anime does not somehow transmit the property of gay onto you, and neither of them have made any statements stating that they are. And both of these two have made some very, uh, straight-passing statements, lol. Especially how horny Ikuhara is for Sailor Mars.

I find it deeply frustrating when people act like someone who has spent decades covering queer and queer-adjacent subjects (found families, oppressive societies, rejecting systems and being rejected in turn) has to be doing so for the basest of reasons. FFS, you can argue that almost every character in Utena is bisexual (especially the men), but Ikuhara is just horny for lesbians.

On Sayo Yamamoto, if you can somehow interpret "When I was growing up watching Fujiko in the original series of Lupin, I always watched her with anticipation of when she was going to take off her clothes," and "To the point that when I was little I basically used to watch Lupin just to see Fujiko’s sexy scenes," as straight-passing...

Biphobia and bi erasure sure are things.

I feel pretty positive about the second coming of Soul Eater

I adored the Soul Eater anime, but I'm not sure how I feel about this. Has anyone here read the manga?
