Hi Ellen!

I’ve always been told when I edit these articles to credit it as best I can with the information I can find, and since ThinkProgress didn’t include any information on who took it or where (so I had no […]

Except she’s not Caucasian. Anime characters may look white to Americans, but Usagi and her friends are intended to be Japanese characters, despite the blonde hair and blue eyes. (Keep in mind that anime […]

We’ve got an anime group:

You’re probably right, it’s just hard to wrap my mind around it myself, as a non-religious queer person – even one who was raised around a lot of evangelical Christians.

Also, I’ve seen with a lot of people […]

Oh, just wait until you get to episode 3! You’re in for a wild ride…

And yeah, the visuals in that anime are just fantastic. It’s really firing on all cylinders.

Sailor Moon and PMMM are both difficult to find on Netflix iirc, and most of what you’ll find on YouTube are just isolated clips. You’re more likely to find them on various sites with illegally uploaded anime […]

I haven’t, but that sounds really interesting!

I think Sailor Mars turned me bisexual. Honestly. Especially with those transformation sequences…

I was reminded of this when I was re-watching Fullmetal Alchemist and had a crush on Roy Mustang and was […]

I have extensive experience with Tim Horton’s and Dunkin’ as someone who grew up in Michigan (which has lots of TH due to its proximity to Canada) and now lives in Massachusetts (as mentioned before, Dunkin’ […]

I’m well aware that LGBTQ people can be religiously or politically conservative, but if a student group is explicit enough in its dislike of LGBTQ students to kick people out of it, why would even a queer person […]

I think Bewitched inspired the Magical Girl genre in terms of girls who were like witches/fairies who were also dealing with everyday life. Early Magical Girls were a lot more just “cute witch” stories, and it […]

The queer ladies didn’t arrive until the third season, and the dub tried to pass them off as “cousins” anyway.

Yeah, I’m super-excited about the new Sailor Moon anime! Though I was a bit bummed that it was delayed until 2014, but I’m excited to see something that more closely follows the manga since I prefer it, and where […]

Yeah, the interesting thing about yaoi/yuri anime and manga compared to Western shows that deal with LGBT themes is they kind of have the opposite problems. In the West, they dwell a little too much sometimes on […]

OH MY GOD I think I would die of happiness if I met anyone who was involved with Sailor Moon!

I wasn’t a huge fan of the Strawberry Panic manga, but the anime is a very different story. The relationships develop a lot more naturally (though, still not as naturally as I wish they had). There is a […]

I liked it a lot. I mean, it’s full of yuri clichés but it’s cute and I felt myself really rooting for the main romance once they were given more backstory.

For those of you who need an excuse to watch Madoka, here’s a really good scene (possible TW for the language the dudes in the subway are using to describe their girlfriends): […]

Yeah, I’ve read a lot of slash and femslash fanfiction but I’ve never been able to get into the actual yaoi and yuri anime series because it’s often so stereotypical as far as gender roles and the seme/uke stuff […]
