Anime girl King Arthur and the history of genderbending in the Fate series

While occasionally thematically messy and narratively convoluted, #Fate’s long history of genderbending is rooted in a genuine interest in exploring gender, identity, and personhood.

Give Tarsem Singh a JoJo story. If you've seen The Fall you know it would at least look cool.

Oh I have a LIST of people I’d love to see direct a Lupin project someday

Masaaki Yuasa, Hiroyuki Imaishi, Shinichiro Watanabe, Hideaki Anno, Yasuomi Umetsu and just for fun let Mamoru Oshii take another crack at it

He did work on the original but Hideaki Anno to do his interpretation of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

Cripple Punk Motifs in Tank Chair

The ongoing post-apocalyptic manga embodies the ethos of cripple punk --- that disabled people can be rude, angry, messy, and not just perfect, suffering angels

Bayonetta 3 Validates Every Insecurity About My Life, Relationships, and Sexuality

Bayonetta 3 Validates Every Insecurity About My Life, Relationships, and Sexuality - Anime Feminist Between my feelings about the ending of the third game, the drama surrounding its production, and the series’ long-standing controversies, I just felt drained as I watched Bayonetta 3’s credits roll. ...

Since it looks like this discourse is coming back, thought I should re-up my piece outlining how Bayonetta 3 is a betrayal to the queer and kinky communities that championed the franchise for years; and an affront to me personally.

(Thanks again to @animefeminist.com for running this one!)

It technically got an adaption in 1998, but considering it's 27 manga volumes & only 13 episodes of anime, I'm going to go with Basara.

It did get an anime, but I'd love to see a remake of Yuu Watase's Ayashi no Ceres, because the anime... Well, it doesn't live up to the manga, to say the least! Also, Naoko Takeuchi's The Cherry Project, because I'm always up for more skating anime, and it's cute and short, perfect for a cour!

I need nice beautiful Blu-rays so badly for this series. Season 1, season 2, the specials. We only ever got DVD for season 1 (and nothing else). I hope sales of the hardcover Mushishi manga will persuade someone to get on this.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts, School Babysitters, Season 2 of My Next Life As A Villainess: All Road Lead To Doom and Tiger & Bunny, and the third season of Kimi ni Todoke are probably my most wanted, excluding some very new series that I still have hope for. (Medalist, especially.)

Mayonaka Punch please... and that's just the first one I can think of that's actually in the realm of possibility (e.g. not 4+ cours).

I often wonder if there are warehouses full of Macross Frontier Blu-rays, with English subtitles, just rotting there because @crunchyroll.com is the worst.

oh, in my country?
all of them. we don't get those anymore, haven't gotten that since Saint Seiya and Naruto 🀑

best you can get is imports, quite often no Portuguese/PT-BR dub or even subtitles, and a single bd disc is like 70 USD (or 10 manga volumes).
