Our retrospective on TRIGGER’s Little Witch Academia with Dee, Caitlin, and special guest Miranda Sanchez!
This is probably the most anticipated show of the season for most of the AniFem staff: it’s both a classic shoujo manga and renowned for being a plot-heavy, pulpy crime drama that also has a queer romance at the heart of it.
This week: manga with queer and trans characters, Anime News Network revamps its forum rules, and the beginning of premiere season.
Dee, Lauren, and Peter look back on the Spring 2018 season!
Spring has sprung, bloomed, and blossomed, which means it’s time for the staff to pluck out some favorites! From ragin’ red pandas to laid-back cafe boys, there’s a show for just about every mood in this season’s bouquet.
This week: the main romance of Banana Fish, suggestions on how to oppose fascism, and the stigma against single mothers in Japan. And a kitten, because this has been a rough week.
The final episode of the 4-part watchalong of Ouran High School Host Club with Amelia, Dee, and special guests Alexis Pratt and Isaac Akers! Can some stellar flashbacks and an emotional finale help the anime overcome a few weak links and gallop triumphantly to the finish line? The race is on!
This week: the effects of white foreigner fetishization for Asian American students in Japan, anti-Blackness in the cosplay community, and bad behavior by male Love Live! fans in Japan.
Part 3 of the 4-part watchalong of Ouran High School Host Club with Amelia, Dee, and special guests Alexis Pratt and Isaac Akers! Refreshing points are both given and revoked as the team travels through cute B&Bs, surprise department stores, touching flashbacks, and…sigh. Lobelia Academy again.
This week: a postmortem of Clear Card’s shortcomings, a guide for LGBTQ+ folks looking to move to Japan, and a world summit for women in animation.
Unleash your inner rage panda and join Dee, Caitlin, and Vrai as they discuss corporate criticism, kawaii culture, dating debacles, and the fabulous female friendships of Aggretsuko, the surprise gem of the spring season.
This week: #MahouShouJune, queer manga recs, and influential female authors in Japanese literature. (Content warning for suicide, racism, and sexual harassment.)
