Animestraddle 12 years, 5 months agoI know there are just two of us so far, but maybe if we get a discussion going more people will join, so….What are some series you really like?
-
I’m all about old crap. I love Patalliro, From Eroica With Love, and Rose of Versailles. I like Utena but I’ve only seen one episode, and when I was a kid I really liked Sailor Moon and Maison Ikkoku. The only yuri I think I’ve seen was Strawberry Panic. Which was okay. You?
-
I loved Strawberry Panic! The relationships were adorable. Especially Amane and Hikari.
-
If you’ve seen Utena you should watch the movie they made based on the series. It makes no sense, but its epic and plus the romance between Utena and Anthy is really sweet. The dance scene has to be the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen in an anime.
-
I’ve only seen the movie and sort of kept watching it hoping that at some point an understandable plot would appear no such luck. Stranger than lady gaga and put me off watching the series :(
-

-
Utena should be required watching for any queer nerd, it is pretty amazing and the animation has held up pretty well when you compare it to modern anime. I also really dig Maria-Sama ga Miteru, which is yuri-flavored girls school drama. Rose of Versailles is another gay-ish one that everyone should see. OH! And Nana!
-
I love yaoi it seems more than Yuri:
Gravitation, BL academy and sukisho.
Loved the sweetness of:
DNAngel and Chobits.
Such a big strawberry panic fan that I made a costume and cosplayed it :P
-
I like yaoi too. It really intrigues me how so much of it is in some way an expression of female desire/vision. Not to into anything too seme/uke, though. Have you seen Kaze to Ki no Uta?
-
I haven’t what is it about? I’ve had a bit of trouble finding something new to watch coz I go to madman and they’re like have you seen “loveless” and i’m like errr I may already be partially obsessed with it.
I guess I just like it (plus other gay books or QAF etc.) coz as a straight male friend of mine once said (who is a big strawberry panic…[Read more]
-
It certainly has a certain zing of the forbidden and the liminal, yeah? Kaze to Ki no Uta is THE FIRST mainstream BL title. Tis about boys in a French boarding school, and very moving. The manga is in the process of translation, and the “anime” is actually a one-act OVA–beautifully done–but a little hard to follow if you don’t know the story,…[Read more]

We Straddle LA, Bitch 12 years, 5 months agoAll right, Straddlers…there are happy hours going on all over this city and we need to be a part of them. Area preferences? Weeknights that work better for peeps? There’s a half-price bottle of wine special on Tuesday nights at Upper West on Pico, but that might be too far west for folks… throw out some meet-up ideas!
-
you had me at “half-price bottle”
-
I am one of those awful homogays that is constantly at the Abbey on weekends, but I’m up for pretty much anywhere!
-
Sadly I can’t suggest any places yet, but I’ll happily join in when we figure out where to go!
-
Pub trivia party?
-
great idea!
-
Excellent idea!
-
-

How does Bigfoot’s Wednesday night trivia next week (May 18th) sound to folks? It’s in Los Feliz from 8-10 so if that’s too rough a trek for the majority, we could figure something out in Mid-City-ish.
-
I heart this idea because I live 10 min away from the bar.
-
dammit, I’ll be out of town the 18th
you guys have fun for me
:/-
I feel like we can TOTALLY push it back a week. 25th, y’all?
-
aww that’s so sweet :)
does anybody have any objections or another suggestion?
if not, shall we make it official?-
Sold! 25, let’s rock it out.
-
how does the trivia thing works? will we be a team?
-
WE WILL BE THE MOST BANGIN’ TEAM.

Allow me to do the dirty work

We Straddle LA, Bitch 12 years, 5 months agoOne more thing: this weekend in LA there’s an awesome girl’s party/meet n’ greet called Singles de Mayo!! It’s this Sunday, May 1st, in Hollywood and it benefits Jewish Queers Int’l.
I’m volunteering and it’s gonna be awesomesauce, so if you come, stop by and say hi. I’m refereeing the Flip Cup tourney.
-
I just moved back to LA! This is perfect.
-
see you guys there? :3
-
I have to show up on the early side, but I’m looking forward to meeting some of you straddlers.
-
So I guess maybe we should figure out a time/place/ straddler mating call?
-
I was thinking of just standing on a chair and yelling AUTOSTRADDLE ASSEMBLE! But I’d rather not get kicked out, so I probably won’t.

I kinda want to go, just because the name is pun-tastic

We Straddle LA, Bitch 12 years, 5 months agoHey Ladies, I’m trying to put up a pic for the group, but all my pics are too big/can’t crop/I’m technically retarded. What you see now is the top of Nikki from the Real L Word’s head, and not any palm trees growing out of vaginas. Help?
-
The avatar tool is apparently jacked, according to Riese’s “State of the Straddle” post… it’s why I’m still rocking a cat wearing a hoodie instead of my own self lounging in my Grilled Cheese Invitational apron.
-
upload the pictue tha Torque liked above, when they ask you to crop it just double-click the center of the picture. It’s been working for me, even if everything is a little off-center

I’m not a hardcore Miyazaki fan, but I loved Mononoke Hime and Kiki’s Delivery Service.
I love Hayao Miyazaki! I really appreciate all the strong female characters he creates for his films.
Howl’s Moving Castle is probably the best anime movie I’ve ever seen. It has everything! EVERYTHING!!
Hayao Miyazaki + Joe Hisaishi = you won’t be disappointed.
for sure, Grave of the fireflies was amazing made me cry.
Grew up on Laputa and Nasicaa. Seen almost every film and love their messages.
I love him, I’ve seen all of his Studio Ghibli films!
I’ve watched some of the other films from Studio Ghibli and they’re all amazing – especially Grave of the Fireflies! Although I don’t think I could watch it again, it’s too sad.
