Oh I’ve been meaning to read/watch this at some point!

Hmm. Interesting. I read the manga a long while ago, and while I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t say it was inappropriate.

Oh I hadn’t realised that you’re on Lemmy too, @ClearTheLobby@feddit.uk. Thanks for your work!!

How did I miss this post?! I have a duty here as a fujo/dan. *rolls up sleeves*

1. Doukyuusei: This one is a movie. It was the first BL anime that I watched and actually liked. Devoured the manga after.

2. Given (Season 1): This was a turning point in my relationship with BL. Before this anime, I had only really read/watched old-school rapey BL, so I thought it was always like that (with the exception of Doukyuusei, which I thought was a one-off). This series showed me that BL was much more than that, even though it gets a bad rep.

3. Yarichin Bitch Bu: What can I say 😅 It’s definitely not for everyone, but I enjoy it because of how crazy and ridiculous it is. Plus it helped me find my #4 pick…

4. Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai: The quality of this adaptation is actually not that good, imho. It’s carried by the story and vibes, which were more than good enough to capture my attention and spur me on to seek out and read the source manga.

That being said, there aren’t very many good BL anime, because it’s niche and so whenever there’s an adaptation (which is relatively rarely), the resources it gets assigned are usually low, and so production is subpar. Manga is where it’s at.

Anyway, gonna go rewatch Doukyuusei.

Good for you!! ☺️

For me, I mainly use Bandcamp, 7digital & Qobuz for Western music. Sometimes the artists sell directly from their own sites though; for e.g. I bought Willow’s empathogen album directly from her website.

For Japanese music, I use Ototoy. They accept foreign cards, but for some releases they won’t let you add it to the cart unless you use a VPN set to Japan.

For less available stuff, I sometimes buy second hand CDs from Discogs / eBay / Music Magpie / similar sites, rip and then resell the CD if I don’t wish to keep it.

For new CDs that I do want to keep, I buy from wherever the artist is selling. CDJapan for Japanese stuff.

Finally, I have been waiting for this for so long! Will post thoughts once I can watch in a few hours.

Edit: Few hours turned into a few weeks 🙃

Anyway, I loved it. They’re doing Tomoko Yamashita justice, after the Tri-Coloured Window adaptation was so meh. 🤩

Thank you!!

We’re so back!!

Oh, I didn’t realise that this is a preview airing slot?

ZERO hesitation skipping all the Angels sections. 😑

Happy that we got a bit of Rage Your Dream playing this ep! The nostalgia 😭

Lesgo Kanataaaa! When that Eurobeat kicks in, you know things are boutta get hype

Oh, and how could I forget… MF Ghost S3, and Steel Ball Run.

I’m excited to watch:

1. Ikoku Nikki
2. Seihantai na Kimi to Boku
3. Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki
4. Darwin Jihen
5. Golden Kamuy: Saishuushou

Numbers 1-3, I’ve read the manga. 4 I’ve been meaning to read, but never got round to, due to lack of TLs. 5 is just continuation of peak.

Understandable, I am the same. I’m sorry that these stores aren’t available in your country. :/

If you are fine with Google stuff: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=ewQtDwAAQBAJ

Otherwise, try eBay if you can’t find a bookstore near you.

Or try finding one in a nearby country that ships internationally.

It even still has some old fansubbed episodes from the pirate era. For example, if you look at the early Gintama episodes on CR, they’re actually subbed by Rumbel Subs.

Lmao what an idiot.

Oh isn’t this one getting an anime next year or sth? Been on my list to check out for a while.
