6, 12, 15 for the anime ask ;)
Thank you for your curiosity.
6. Popular anime I didn't like... *sigh* Don't get me started on Boku no Hero Academia. As a recovering sacrifice & pushing oneself to the absolute limit addict, I have basically zero tolerance for glorifying and rewarding this behaviour. Boku no Hero Academia is like sacrifice porn. Thanks, I hate it. The whole premise is repulsive to me. There's the character with no power, who technically wins the lottery and gets more power than anyone else. Sure, you can do that, but I don't like it because it barely reflects the reality of anyone who has physical or mental limitations. In real life you don't win the lottery, you work your ass off trying to find alternative ways of doing things, and when you make a break through you nearly can't believe it. There are so many stories where supposedly underprivileged characters suddenly get handed power, and I'm just super confused, who does it represent? I HATE the way Midoriya gets chosen by All Might. All Might shouldn't be allowed to be a teacher, if you ask me. Like, oh wow, this kid's self-esteem and co-dependency issues really fire me up, let's make them worse. I don't care if it's a superhero show, this is fucking repulsive to me. As far I've watched it, (I won't watch it until the end) Midoriya gets rewarded for his reckless behaviour over, and over, and over again and bears no long-term consequences. There should be consequences, this behaviour should in no way be encouraged. This isn't an inspiring portrayal of heroes, it's self-sacrifice porn and has this vibe... like "I'm going to save you, and it's not about you, it's about me, because my ego is so wrapped up in saving and sacrificing that I don't care what is actually needed of me, I only care about what I want to give". And I hate this vibe... so much. All of this is such a mockery of what people actually go through because they know no other way of surviving life than putting their own needs away and working to their absolute limit.
Oh yeah, and the female characters get treated like shit. There are such good essays on it, so I won't start.
12. Anime that should get more attention from others... I already talked about Kaleido Star in a previous ask, so let's talk about Princess Tutu. It has a bit more of a fandom (though it's probably mostly dead by now?) but in any case, it would be so cool to see new perspectives and art on it. It is SUCH a beautiful and creative masterpiece. Yes, I'm biased as someone who does ballet, but also I'm not, because it is objectively beautiful and amazing. The use of fairytales and classical ballets is so inspiring. The characters are simply wonderful, and its visual style is so unique and creates such an atmosphere. Also, the originally powerless main character actually gains magical powers in a meaningful way, and the magic does have a price. Sacrifices are made, yes, but the characters have to face their selfish desires, and they make sacrifices because it's the right thing to do, because they genuinely care about others, and not because they get off on it, like in Boku no Hero Academia...
15. Anime I never get sick of watching... Um. Other than Kaleido Star, Princess Tutu and KnB? Hmm... Munto? There's something charming and relatable about it, because it seems like there's a lot of neurodivergent subtext. I love the visuals and the music and although the plot isn't anything super original, it's just a joy for me to slip into the world of this story. Not to mention there's a certain charm to red-headed, god-coded characters with split eyebrows... haha. Seriously, I like this show so much I simply couldn't pass by an opportunity to reference it for laughs in my KnB fics.

What's Claymore about? I thought about watching Spy x family and My dress up darling because it reminds me of those Style Savvy games I loved as a kid and still love!!
Okay so Claymore is your typical girls save the world from evil, but done right! There is NO SCHOOL SETTING, which is already a plus for me. You never have to question anyone’s ages. Also, the women warriors don’t wear skimpy, revealing clothes. They dress like warriors. The Claymores, also called Silver Eyed Witches, are women who have infused the blood of a yoma (monster/demon) to fight said beasts. Men can’t become Claymore, only women can. They work for an Organization that sends them to kill the yoma, collect a reward, then leave it for their handlers, workers for the Organization. Their is little fan service, and what they do have as far as nudity goes is on monsters, so it’s not really sexual (unless that’s your thing). But yeah I highly recommend it!! And even more so I highly recommend reading the manga as well, it’s even better!!
Both Spy x Family and My Dress Up Darling are beautiful anime as well, the first being action and comedy and romance, and the latter being a fan service romance comedy. Both were really good!!

i love how arthur is considered important in code geass
You're quite mistaken, Anon; it's not that Arthur is considered important, but that Arthur is important.
Arthur provides support for Suzaku, that we all know, but I must highlight that Arthur had a direct and important effect on the plot:
Episode 6, The Stolen Mask
Arthur steals Zero's mask -> Lelouch chases the cat -> Nunnally informs the student council -> everyone gathers to watch Suzaku climb to the roof -> Suzaku saves Lelouch -> everyone sees that Suzaku is actually a very nice guy -> Suzaku joins the student council and becomes friends with everyone!
In conclusion, Arthur is the one who put an end to Suzaku's torture at school and integrated him into the student council. I rest my case.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

When I followed you earlier today and then realized this blog wasn't even two days old it made me feel like I invested in a startup.
Do you think if you did the lyrics for Fireflies by Owl City, your database would give us fireflies? (Will also accept owls. And there's a line about sheep too).

Hello! For the anime asks: 1, 11, 12, 22, and 26. :D
Thank you, always a pleasure to share perspectives with you!
1. I already talked about my first anime in the previous ask here, so I'll talk about another early one that was impactful. One of our babysitters when my little siblings were still very little, had the anime version of Little Women on VHS and I wanted to watch nothing else for months. I think I was nine, and I was completely taken by the style, the huge eyes and the cute historical outfits. It affected my drawing for years. I actually saw the anime before I read the book, although I did read it during the same year at school, when I realized it was a book. Of course, when I later watched the -94 Little Women movie, I was so weirded out that Jo wasn't a blonde and Amy wasn't a brunette. Haha, I must have ignored their descriptions in the book, since I had the anime version in my head so vividly.
11. Anime I didn't expect to like but did... Romantic Killer!! It's probably the only new anime I've watched last year, but it was GENIUS. I really didn't expect anything of it, I watched it because someone made me, and for the first few episodes I was just so annoyed, because I thought I knew how it was going to go. BOY was I wrong. If you haven't watched it, don't for the love of god spoil yourself, just go watch it. I was floored. I was SO happy an anime like that was made.
12. Anime that should get more attention from others... Well, I really really want Kaleido Star to have an active fandom. I always go back to it. Yes, it's old by some standards and it shows, but it's such a rare gem. It was doing a lot of the key shonen/sports anime themes we see in newer shows too, in way that was really impactful to me as teen, and the most AMAZING part of it is that it has two female leads who have THAT dynamic, that shonen/sports anime partner dynamic, the soul connection, the completely shippable relationship with more depth than anything else in the show. I'm so sad how there's barely any fanfiction of Kaleido Star and most of it focuses on the comic relief compulsory straight relationship option, which is like... YOU KNOW. The cute character who can't stop chasing after the main character despite getting ignored every single time. Meanwhile, there's the obvious most impactful and meaningful person in the main character's life right there, they just happen to be the same gender, and yes they seem totally queer coded to me. (Ok fine, there's a more serious female-male relationship option too, but I swear the mc is so bi/pan coded.) Seriously, if you like borderline magical sports anime with larger than life partnership and a main character who wants to find unity and love and is willing to do anything to solve conflicts and achieve both a peaceful community based on the joy of the sport AND personal success at the same time without compromises, what the HELL are you doing not watching Kaleido Star??
22. Age I started watching anime... technically I was eight when I saw the first one that made me love anime, but I didn't become an obsessive anime watcher until I was 11, because I didn't have that many opportunities to watch it before that. I did watch all the card game anime that was on TV when I was younger, and Pokémon and Digimon, but it wasn't until I was 11-12 when people started really uploading anime on YouTube, which is how I gained access to much more of it. My English was still so-so, and I didn't understand half of the subtitles, but I still watched obsessively and slowly got better.
26. Manga you have read all the way through... Hmm, this doesn't make a lot of sense, since I was always primarily a manga reader as soon as I got my hands on it. So, it's more likely that I have read the manga but not watched the anime, though if I like something, I do both usually. Could the question mean a manga I read in one sitting, or something? I don't know, they vary so much in length that question doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either. But I did routinely read a LOT of manga in one sitting when I was in middle school and high school. Specifically shojo manga. I was an aroace autistic dork trying to navigate school life, so I read shojo manga obsessively because it was my way of learning how my friends think, what the world of girls is like, how the rules of relationships work and everything, without having to ask. (I read a lot of YA books too.) I wasn't that great at masking my differences until I was in high school, but I did always have a talent for absorbing people's perspectives and behavioural patterns, so... me reading all that material and always observing everyone around me and reflecting it through what I read, pretty much accidentally turned me into a relationship expert everyone was always asking advice from, despite of me having no romantic involvements myself. It was odd... Lol, what would everyone have thought, if they'd known where my perceived wisdom was coming from. It seems like such a joke now.

In a very important home life update: we got a high vis vest for one of our chickens
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They apparently have a great unintended use of stopping hens from getting bullied, so we got one to try it out since the above hen gets excessively picked on by the others (we don't really know why).
Shout put to the wonderful @gingervivilou who told me about it!!
