#Woman In Dub

[bixels]

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag club full of queens and trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.

Megatron: *somewhat sarcastically* Hey Starscream, have you ever been mistaken for a man?

Starscream: *miserable* No. In France they think I’m a woman.

Megatron: *chokes on his Energon coffee*

Today I learned that Anasui’s localized name in EoH is Narc

Absolutely hilarious thing to call someone who’s been, and spent like half of their screen time, inside of a prison

Step into my office.

It's time for your quarterly review.

It doesn't look good.

Your productivity is severely lacking.

You're pulling our numbers down.

The rest of the team is moving double time to pull your weight.

I've given you warnings. Now you have two options.

Either I fire you, or you start offering additional services.

You need this job?

Then I am going to have to change your job description.

From now on your title is Stress Management Specialist.

You will be helping me and the rest of the team relax. You will be expected to show as much skin as possible.

You will obey all instructions given by me or any other member of the team.

If any of them want to use you, then you will let them.

Now, why don't you get under my desk and show me how good you are at revealing stress.

AAAAAAAA Congrats Team Past!!!!! There’s something sentimental about the Squid Sisters getting that one last win, but together this time. Don't get me wrong, I 100% wanted Present to win (since I was y'know on the team), and Future fought hard. But I don't know, maybe it's the fact the last time they participated in a Splatfest it was straight up against each other, and then in the second game they literally WERE fighting each other. So for them to win the final(?) Splatfest together is just cathartic. And in a way it kinda puts the final lid onto the New Squidbeak Splatoon story line. What started out as Cuttlefish trying to relive the past turned into what it is today and for the near future. ALSO OFF TOPIC BUT I love the cute little moment Deep Cut had after the score reveal but I DO NOT like how foreboding Frye's words were like girl take that back of course you're all still gonna be together in the future right Nintendo?

Will be quite honest I went in expecting that A.B.A.'s story mode would be a tired rehash of the same 'haha this obsessive woman is dragging around a guy who's clearly uncomfortable isn't that funny even though if the genders were reversed everyone would immediately recognize it as creepy' plot ala Johnny's with May based on the snippet I'd seen but color me surprised these bitches are actually working their shit out. Nice.

Not apologizing for the meme made on my camera app LITERALLY i can't focus on any of his scenes because of this

Why. Why is he Like That. Why did they draw him like that. Why in 30+ episodes has it never been addressed ONCE

Alright I’m just gonna confess. I really disliked the Case Closed dub for a long time but IT GREW ON ME and now I like the little jokes and localization stuff they added in. And I like the voices, especially Kogoro’s. Conan actually sounds like an annoying little kid and the dub names crack me up. I haven’t watched the entirety of the dub but I think I probably will now. I know a new Conan dub came out recently dubbing some of the newer episodes but it just feels really bare bones compared to the old one 😭😭
