Anime lesbians that not enough people are talking about

Suruga Kanbaru (Monogatari Series)

The entire Monogatari series is quite problematic and very hard to get into, which is why not enough people talk about Kanbaru. But to my experience, at least, she's one of the more accurately written lesbian characters I've seen. She's someone who's felt isolation because of her sexuality, and who's felt that heartbreak of falling in love with a close friend. She has a discomfort with her sexuality (which I found more clear in the novels), but once she opens up to someone about it, she really talks about it. Her sexuality also isn't rigid, and she explores new avenues of it. To me, she just felt like a very real older teen girl trying to figure out herself.

Momoko Sudo (O Maidens in your Savage Season)

I feel as O Maidens as a whole isn't talked about as much as it should be, and Momoko is talked about even less. Momoko's character really captures the experience of having these feelings that don't match what you're being told is normal or what you see around you. And because of this, she can't put words to it. She's part of a literature club and reads a lot of romance, but she's never represented in any of it. I love Momoko because she feels like a real young teen girl trying to put words to all of these feelings she's having.

Kureha Tsubaki (Yurikuma Arashi)

Yurikuma Arashi is often overlooked due to its presentation (which actually ties into the commentary it's giving), and is the least appreciated of Ikuhara's works. But despite the show being quite messy, I can't help but love Kureha. The show as a whole represents how lesbian women are viewed and portrayed in Japanese society and media, and Kureha's character represents internalized homophobia, and the fear of being "openly gay". The whole series is fantastical in nature, but Kureha's feelings and story remain very true to many people's experiences, including my own.

~~~

I just wanted to share a few characters I connected with and I don't see being talked about enough. I wholeheartedly recommend checking out Yurikuma Arashi and O Maidens in your Savage Season, as they're excellent shows. As for Monogatari... I'd tread lightly and look at the content warnings! But it's still a great series.

General note: Yes, Monogatari is a horribly problematic series. It has a lot that I seriously do not like, but if you're able to get through the bad there's a whole lot of good, such as Kanbaru. So warning!

A “QUICK!” Review of "The Anthem of the Heart (2015)"

I like a lot of Mari Okada's work including Anohana, Maquia and O Maidens in Your Savage Season. However, I came out of "The Anthem of the Heart" with very mixed feelings.

It is a high school drama that feels a bit half-baked. The drama mostly revolves around the main girl, Jun Naruse, who cannot speak because of an event that occurred in the past. This is an interesting premise but the problem is that this is not the main focus as much as it should. Instead, we have a lot of romance subplots with other supporting characters that just aren't developed enough. The third act and even the ending felt incredibly forced as well. I do give props for not being predictable and being a decent message but the execution is kind of poor. This premise feels like it would be better as an anime series than a movie. That way, the supporting characters and even the romance could be more developed.

The movie does have great animation, character design and music. Unfortunately, if you wanted a good high school drama or romance, this is not it.

Women's History Month Themed Anime of the Day: Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo.

Alt Title: O Maidens in Your Savage Season

Released: 2019

This is an anime about a group of girls. They are in high school thinking about the normal things maidens think about, school, boys and reading aloud sex scenes from literature. Because their club is, er, literature focused, or rather focused on one type of literature, they have difficulty finding an advisor for their club. Because their focused nature makes the school nervous, the school threatens to disband the club. Naturally, the girls fight against this oppression and they do it in the most unexpected way possible.

Momoko Sudou from Araburu Kisetsu No Otome Domo Yo

Reasoning: "She's canonically a lesbian but she suffered a lot in the show with her friends liking boys and she was the only who didn't get that feeling and yeah she suffered a lot, she falls for her straight friend and there were even a lesbophobic scene (although her (other) friend didn't understood what it meant it was still lesbophobic). Well I'm submitting her because she deserves better and she deserves a girlfriend who loves her!" (Anon)
