the problem with birdmen okay, is that it was too liminal. it stayed between two uncommitted states for too long. serialized in a shonen magazine and yet content-wise leaned far more seinen. hinting at homosexuality and communism but doing so in a deeply plausibly deniable fashion such that nobody really has anything to hang onto. and above all, despite literally naming her series BIRDMEN, falling just shy of capturing the furry imagination. a TOTAL failure on all fronts

#just thinking thoughts...#SORRYYYY THAT LAST POINT IS SO CRAZY TO ME #BRO YOU DIDN'T EVEN LIKE YOUR CHARACTER DESIGNS GIRLLLL WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGG #like okay I get it right. one of THE biggest ships coming out of kks is those gay ass dogs right.#but the thing is that those dogs were PROPER furries. they were actually legitimate animals brother!!#bm is just walking that fine line where the animalistic aspect is a burden to people like me who aren't furries #But yet is just not quite enough to capture the imagination of people who ARE.#like miss tanabe. I've SEEN those bird furries in kekkaishi I know you can literally do it.#objectively I really think the wing mass suits in birdmen is LITERALLY the worst of both worlds. everyone is having a bad time #she had to have it for plot reasons right. the 'without the wing mass we can basically pass as humans'#WHATEVER! important point of the presentation is that I feel like she has made character designs she actually doesn't mind drawing for knm #uhm how to say. it feels like she's having a lot more fun drawing kaihen #like the literal DRAWING aspect of drawing manga #whereas bm feels sustained almost solely on her will to WRITE it
