#Otome Domo-yo

[nightrae13]

I know I’ve posted a preview of this 2 months ago, but I decided to put the whole thing in here as well.

 Anyway, this is not a ship edit to me ,but y’all free to think it is since it has some of the loved non-canon ships as well (Hajimari no Sayonara Miku and Kazuki + the new blue characters would get their video soon bc I’m too heartbroken lol). I just love these characters as a whole, and I find it comforting and relatable for stories like these.. 

 because truth be told, not everyone would get their feelings returned, but it does not mean that the people with unrequited love should feel invalidated with their feelings. Actually, their feelings even if it gets unnoticed is still ultimately genuine. Falling without someone catching you is painful as heck, but what choice do people have with their feelings right? It takes a great amount of courage to be able to let go and move on which I admire these characters for, and I hope that even if I can’t have my own Ryou/Kotaro/Juri, I would eventually be able to do the same.

  That being said, I hope you guys enjoy what I did 2 months ago ^^

Anime lesbians that not enough people are talking about

Suruga Kanbaru (Monogatari Series)

The entire Monogatari series is quite problematic and very hard to get into, which is why not enough people talk about Kanbaru. But to my experience, at least, she's one of the more accurately written lesbian characters I've seen. She's someone who's felt isolation because of her sexuality, and who's felt that heartbreak of falling in love with a close friend. She has a discomfort with her sexuality (which I found more clear in the novels), but once she opens up to someone about it, she really talks about it. Her sexuality also isn't rigid, and she explores new avenues of it. To me, she just felt like a very real older teen girl trying to figure out herself.

Momoko Sudo (O Maidens in your Savage Season)

I feel as O Maidens as a whole isn't talked about as much as it should be, and Momoko is talked about even less. Momoko's character really captures the experience of having these feelings that don't match what you're being told is normal or what you see around you. And because of this, she can't put words to it. She's part of a literature club and reads a lot of romance, but she's never represented in any of it. I love Momoko because she feels like a real young teen girl trying to put words to all of these feelings she's having.

Kureha Tsubaki (Yurikuma Arashi)

Yurikuma Arashi is often overlooked due to its presentation (which actually ties into the commentary it's giving), and is the least appreciated of Ikuhara's works. But despite the show being quite messy, I can't help but love Kureha. The show as a whole represents how lesbian women are viewed and portrayed in Japanese society and media, and Kureha's character represents internalized homophobia, and the fear of being "openly gay". The whole series is fantastical in nature, but Kureha's feelings and story remain very true to many people's experiences, including my own.

~~~

I just wanted to share a few characters I connected with and I don't see being talked about enough. I wholeheartedly recommend checking out Yurikuma Arashi and O Maidens in your Savage Season, as they're excellent shows. As for Monogatari... I'd tread lightly and look at the content warnings! But it's still a great series.

General note: Yes, Monogatari is a horribly problematic series. It has a lot that I seriously do not like, but if you're able to get through the bad there's a whole lot of good, such as Kanbaru. So warning!

chisa takano the character ever btw. she was sickly as a kid and when it brought other people to make fun of her she'd just fight them. girl who got so pissed at some girls gossiping behind her back she slammed one of them into the wall. she hosed down the guy trying to ask out her friend/crush while saying she thought he was a weed. she threatened that same guy in a family restaurant hours later. shes going through an absolutely soul crushing unrequited love for the first friend she ever made with no signs of getting over her and also kissed her even. my beloved

A “QUICK!” Review of "The Anthem of the Heart (2015)"

I like a lot of Mari Okada's work including Anohana, Maquia and O Maidens in Your Savage Season. However, I came out of "The Anthem of the Heart" with very mixed feelings.

It is a high school drama that feels a bit half-baked. The drama mostly revolves around the main girl, Jun Naruse, who cannot speak because of an event that occurred in the past. This is an interesting premise but the problem is that this is not the main focus as much as it should. Instead, we have a lot of romance subplots with other supporting characters that just aren't developed enough. The third act and even the ending felt incredibly forced as well. I do give props for not being predictable and being a decent message but the execution is kind of poor. This premise feels like it would be better as an anime series than a movie. That way, the supporting characters and even the romance could be more developed.

The movie does have great animation, character design and music. Unfortunately, if you wanted a good high school drama or romance, this is not it.

Women's History Month Themed Anime of the Day: Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo.

Alt Title: O Maidens in Your Savage Season

Released: 2019

This is an anime about a group of girls. They are in high school thinking about the normal things maidens think about, school, boys and reading aloud sex scenes from literature. Because their club is, er, literature focused, or rather focused on one type of literature, they have difficulty finding an advisor for their club. Because their focused nature makes the school nervous, the school threatens to disband the club. Naturally, the girls fight against this oppression and they do it in the most unexpected way possible.

Merry Christmas from the Broken Blue Trio of HoneyWorks!!!

Chisa, Tsubomi and Sora (my unofficial name for the new guy lol)

Guess which gay/bi characters I really ship to bits before deciding to make them a trio without romance because it traumatizes all of them lol.

---

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to all of you!! Advance Happy New Year as well!!

Like last year, I'll be taking a temporary break from tumblr for this season. I also wanted to celebrate this time and spend more time with God and my family. In addition, I still have school projects God knows what I should do with them XD.

I'll be back tho (just who knows when 😂). For now, I'll be leaving a gift- my headcanon trio when we could see some HoneyWorks characters go to college!!

I feel like Chisa and Tsubomi would honestly get along though they'd have a rough start (bc of Chisa, obviously lol). I imagine them bonding over art bc I also have a headcanon/future fanfic where Akari and Tsubomi became friends, and Akarin taught her painting!! Also, I added that new guy (he's not Yujiro btw lol) I'm unofficially naming Sora bc he deserves just as much happiness as the other two. Together, they'd have their own trio with this time, no hurt feelings would come to be. Like, romance aren’t the only way to find happiness and love, right?

Chisa and Tsubomi bond over Arts. Sora and Tsubomi bond over music, and Chisa and Sora bond over litearature!

Let me know your thoughts about this trio! I'll still be reading responses (if they were any lol). Again, may you all enjoy this time of year!
