Not-Pink-Enough Tourney, Round One

Kirio Propaganda:  1.): “First of all, his hair is pink and green. Second of all, they're really inconsistent with the pink. Does he have two different hair colours? Is it a weird way to show shading/lighting? Be consistent, I beg of you.”

Marika Propaganda:  1.): “It’s a “dusty” pink and those are always contentious.”

Round 1 Part 1 Poll 2

Propaganda

(This is sorta spoilers but her presence is a spoiler) Isabel Lovelace is the former captain of the USS Hephaestus from a previous mission, kept secret from our main crew of Commander Minkowski, Comms officer Doug Eiffel, but not Dr Hilbert who was on the previous mission under another name. She is badass, but not as strict as Minkowski, maintaining a somewhat chummy relationship with Doug. Unfortunately she has also had enough of Goddard Futuristics' bullshit and makes Minkowski, Hilbert, and Eiffel work to return the crew to earth under threat of a dead-man's-switch operated bomb going off. She has seen her previous crew murdered by Goddard and will not rest until every executive has their head on a pike.

Marika is the captain of the Bentenmaru and has no propaganda (yet !)

Maligned Yuri Bracket: Preliminary Round!

How is Jenny Dolittle/Lynn Lambretta (Mouretsu Pirates) maligned?

"while they are a canon wlw couple, not enough people have watched this anime!! even though it's really good!!! crime!!!"

How is Amami/Kokoro Komadori (Yuri Espoir) maligned?

"Nobody has read the manga </3 Every day I try to get people to read it and it is a task that I'm both blessed and cursed with. Also my most active Yuri Espoir mutual deactivated so now about half of the tumblr content for it cannot be found through the search function, life is suffering"

How is Kei Sugiura/Rei Yokoe (School Zone) maligned?

"they are both the dumbest woman alive but in opposite directions - and rei can’t actually confess her love for kei without immediately backing out and saying it was a joke"

They reached the dinghy, sitting in a nearby field, with the cockpit closed, so no miscreants got inside. She saw a pinkish orange-haired woman dressed in space pirate regalia leaning against the ship.

If you saw a mysterious and attractive girl leaning against a spaceship, what would you do? [this is a scene from my most recent fic, "The Corona Blues: Cass the Space Pirate, Her Blue-Eyed Pirate Girlfriend, and Raps' Momentous Choice".]

I keep running into shows that I remember loving when I was younger and noticing Yuri, It's getting to a point where I have to be like "girl, how did you miss all this before?" Tonight it was Mouretsu pirates an anime that not only has a canon lesbian couple that is very explicit. But also...

These two as the main characters, I don't remember if there's any overt stuff but like... they gay.

Miniskirt Space Pirates is a Fun Novel Series!

I finished reading all 12 volumes of Miniskirt Space Pirates! Took me about a year, but it was very much worth it. I've been a fan of the Mouretsu Pirates anime for a while, and the novels really didn't disappoint.

Key takeaways: -Gruier Serenity, the space princess who shows up in the second major arc of the anime/second novel, is far and away the funniest and most fun part of the novels. Her introduction arc is a good dose of her wanting to dismantle a genetically engineered monarchy to which she belongs. But in later novels she will very blatantly use that position to get what she wants, which usually involves helping her friends, especially Marika. --She also has the ability from years of political training to identify with high accuracy when someone is lying, which comes in mighty handy at various points in the series. --In general, she's less interested in seizing power for herself and more in supporting Marika in her adventures. With the caveat that she sometimes gets to pick out what Marika wears.

-Text in the first novel, Marika’s first interaction with Chiaki pretty heavily hints that Marika is attracted to girls. (from v1, p109) JP: "女の子同士なのに、なんでどきどきしてるのよ" EN: "Why is my heart pounding? We're both girls."

-Space elves called "Metheuselah" exist and live for very, very long periods of time. Well in excess of 200 years.   --One such space elf is Jenny Dolittle's history professor Athena, whose teaching style irritates Jenny enough to make her travel back home and kicks off a series of events that culminates in a stable time loop where the Yacht Club travels 110 years back in time and ends up persuading the Galactic Empire to intervene in their civil war. Part of that time loop involves Jenny telling Athena when she was a graduate student that she would make a good teacher.

-The author Sasamoto writes in his afterwards about actually being involved in an amateur rocketry group, and that experience is really reflected in the work, which puts a lot of emphasis on realistic engineering and space facts. The third novel's cosplay pirates arc is essentially the Yacht Club girls going through a space engineering boot camp and features mundanely hilarious things like them being unable to land a shuttle because they packed so much luggage they had to mount some of it to the shuttle's landing gear. And the ninth volume features a bit where Marika orders the crew to be ready for takeoff on short notice, but they've been given authorization to use a state-of-the-art docking bay, so everybody starts getting into a full-scale overhaul of their system. --This is an article on one of the group's major rocket launches, one in 2019 that went over 100 kilometers into the atmosphere:

-One of the series' regular villains, Jackie Kelvin, is a no-goodnick with poor hygiene and no sense of organization who somehow keeps just out of reach of his pursuers and achieves his objectives in the sloppiest ways possible, notably stands out from the generally more grounded technical setting. He's kind of an anti-engineer and has a little bit of light novel protagonist in him. Every other major character in the series hates him. --He uses the pseudonyms Jackie Fahrenheit and Jackie Celsius at various points in the series.
