Mechtober Day 18: Manifesting for SRW (part 3). In a shared universe, all these guys would be Gekiganger 3 fans, of course. (Bravern spoilers under the cut!)

Okay okay also. Also. In an SRW game the events of Nadesico and Bravern would happen contemporaneously. Which would mean there is the possibility Akito could see Gai and Smith killed basically at the same time. I am evil cackling right now over the absolute mental breakdown he'd have.

Been binging CardCaptors, the gayest anime from the end of the 1990s (idk if that's true but it is very queer).

------

[ID: Two pen on paper drawings of scenes from the anime CardCaptor.

The first drawing is of Tomoyo holding Meiling's hands in her's, with the caption of her saying "If something happens, please think of me." Both girls have a soft blush on their cheeks.

The second drawing is a short, two panel strip, framed by green washi tape. In the top panel, Yue has his hands on Touya's shoulders. He leans in closer to the other boy. In the bottom panel, Yue's head is right next to Touya's. The shadings, done in grey marker, shifts to show a glow coming from below them.

Another weebday

Something something, Weeb Wednesday, something something gay magical girls, something something Watch More Utena. With that done thank you for coming to my Weeb Wednesday. 

Nope, you do not get out of it that easily, so time to talk about another magical girl, who unfortunately has a mild case of strait, even though they are from a CLAMP manga, Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura. But wait! I activate my Clow Card and switch who I am really talking about to Tomoyo Daidouji, also known as Sakura’s gay best friend. Tomoyo is so in love with Sakura that she is willing to be a wing woman to make sure Sakura gets the guy she wants. Besides that she designs Sakura’s outfits and films her… this was before YouTube so was still creepy but in a cute “I want to film the person I love” kind of way. Anyway everyone deserves a cute lesbian that loves you and supports you even if they are not the target of your love.

Just letting you know Lily called you a biggot while also calling you a SU fan, ah yes a fan of a show notorious for having gay characters is a biggot.

Reminder that Lily Orchard called 11 year old Tomoyo Daidouji a "predatory lesbian trope". Because if she's making Sakura outfits and filming her magical girl battles and she's STRAIGHT that's fine, but if she's in love with Sakura? That's "ew" apparently.

Funnily enough she's taken down the Anime Ranking video I was reacting to. Wonder why that could be.

Did nothing from yuyuyu get a submission? I'm a bit late to the party but they're some of the best gay magical girls around.

Togo Mimori/Yuuna Yuuki got one submission! They lost to Tomoyo Daidouji/Meiling Li from Cardcaptor Sakura in the preliminary round.

CANONICALLY QUEER ANIME CHARACTERS THAT I REMEMBERED BUT WEREN'T ON THIS ARTICLE'S LIST:

Date Masamune Daley Wong Motoko Kusanagi Jakotsu Toru Shiro & Saya Monou Toya Kinomoto & Yukito Tsukishiro Tomoyo Daidouji Subaru Sumeragi & Seishiro Sakurazuka Utena Tenjou & Anthy Himemiya Juri Arisugawa & Shiori Takatsuki Suletta Mercury & Miorine Rembran Kenjiro Hato Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune Fatora Venus & Alielle

Have these poor otaku not heard of Date Masamune? Famously bisexual historical figure with MANY anime and videogame portrayals? Half his dialogue with Sanada Yukimura in "Sengoku Basara" (2009-2011) is just flirting. Heck, last year, I saw a little kids' anime with a Date Masamune cat whose whole gimmick is having a crush on the male main character cat! I just watched episode 6 to refresh my memory, and Masamunya is daydreaming about marrying Nyanpire!

And what about Daley Wong? He is canonically gay. Do otaku these days not know about "Bubblegum Crisis"???? That was standard issue anime watching when I got into anime! A fundamental scifi series! It even got a remake, "Bubblegum Crisis 2040", which didn't change Daley's openly gay status.

Motoko Kusanagi from "Ghost in the Shell" is canonically gay. The movies may skip over that, but the longer format series usually show her girlfriends or have her coworkers mention what a womanizer she is. I'm a little confused about that episode where she talked about having a childhood crush on a boy---the one who was hesitant about getting a prosthetic body because they weren't dexterous enough to make origami cranes at the time---while the rest of the series seems to portray her as a lesbian. So I'm not 100% sure if she's gay or bi.

There's also Jakotsu from Inuyasha. Not a regular character, but part of the Shichinintai (Band of Seven) who were reoccurring antagonists for several episodes until they were defeated. Maybe a little stereotypey, but a canonically openly gay anime character.

CLAMP has several gay couples. Unfortunately they do like to use them for tragedy, unrequited love, and the "bury your gays" trope.

We've got "X" (series known as "X/1999" in English localization) with Toru and Saya. A lesbian couple so in love that when it was prophesied that Toru would die, giving birth to the Sacred Sword at the Togakushi Shrine, Saya found a loophole, married the Shinto priest at Togakushi Shrine to ensure she would constantly be at that location, and thus became the one who died instead of Toru, giving birth to the Sacred Sword. I think the anime changed things so that Saya said she fell in love with her husband Kyogo Monou instead, or downplayed her feelings for Toru, or something I'm misremembering, but I grew up with CLAMP's manga, and that's what I go by. Besides, the plot later explains that the whole reason Saya's spirt ended up in the Sea of Tears is because she married a man she didn't love, while fully knowing that she was in love with another woman instead.

"Cardcaptor Sakura" has several queer couples. We've got Toya and Yukito. The teacher Toya dated before Yukito, could see the future, and she specifically broke up with Toya because she foresaw he would fall in love more deeply with Yukito in the future. And when she and Toya met again, she asked Toya if he was happy (being with Yukito), and he said yes. Unless I'm misremembering, the manga also has a panel or 2 explaining that Tomoyo was coincidentally repeating her mother's unrequited sapphic crush on Sakura's mother, by she herself having an unrequited sapphic crush on Sakura. But I just checked the Wiki and there was apparently a lot of weird editing mistakes in the manga that made Tomoyo seem straight, and then CLAMP had to use several interviews and future manga issues to clear up that Tomoyo's crush was actually on Sakura. O.o

I've had "Tokyo Babylon" on my shelf for years, but haven't finished the manga or the anime disks that I bought. lol But from my understanding, that whole series is steeped in the crush between the male leads, Subaru and Seishiro. And then it culminates in "X", because that series was a crossover continuation of several CLAMP series. During "Tokyo Babylon", Seishiro has this hidden omen running in his family about being destined to be killed by the person he loves the most. Within "X", Seishiro is killed by Subaru.

And how can we forget "Revolutionary Girl Utena"? Even if the series doesn't outright state them as gay, the whole series is built around their romance and then the movie has them out-right kiss. And it's not an accident situation or an animation that happens for only 2 frames, or something. It's an actual, romantic kiss, center-frame, as the resolution of that movie. Also Juri and Shiori are doing some unrequited things that I can't remember. But I remember Shiori being kind of toxic in the movie, like she was trying to make Juri jealous?

Speaking of Utena, "Gundam: the Witch From Mercury" is often compared to following Utena's outline, right down to the sapphic couple at the center. The series is still going, and I haven't been able to watch all the episodes so far, but if they truly homage Utena, they will advance from all their romance tropes between Suletta and Miorine, into hopefully an outright declaration of queer love. Here's hoping. <3

Can we count Kenjiro Hato from "Genshiken: Second Generation"? Because I don't know if they're "canonically" queer or not. Do we count them as "canonically" queer if they don't state they're queer? So much of that series is Hato still trying to figure out how they feel about crossdressing, about Harunobu Madarame, and being a fudanshi. I can't remember if Hato ever came to terms with any conclusions about themself. I can't remember if Hato ever definitely stated being in love with Madarame, or just spent all that time not quite understanding their own feelings. Is Hato a trans egg? Or is Hato genderfluid? Or did they just never figure that out about themself? Does Hato still identify as "male" by the end of the series? I don't remember! (But I'm sorry the series framed how Yoshitake treated you as a joke, because that was really uncomfortable.)

And how did I forget Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune? So famously gay, that when the first English dub tried to censor their relationship for the localization, it just turned into awkward "cousin loving cousin" dubs.

Almost forgot Princess Fatora and Alielle from "El Hazard: The Magnificent World". One of the first isekai genre series I watched. Fatora doesn't appear for most of the series, since she is a prisoner of the antagonists. But her girlfriend, Alielle, is in most of the OAV series. I remember them being very clearly lesbians, and after Fatora is rescued, I think they spent a lot of the sequel series chasing around the other girls in the cast.

For all that unrequited lovers can pluck plaintively at an audience’s heartstrings, yours truly’s included, it’s more often than not (unless you are Tomoyo Daidouji or Franz D’Epinay) a selfish position. Unrequited love is about the love object in that they represent a lack in our POV character – something they cannot, whether by internal or external circumstances, achieve. Often the character pines and grumbles about how the love object won’t notice them, romanticizing themselves in a mini-tragedy. And to have that love returned is not a union of two people but a reward to validate the self. [...] In the context of Utena, Jury’s story has a unique place. Because of the many permutations of attraction in the series, queer and hetero, her burden becomes not ‘THE TRAGEDY OF GAY’ but about her inability to break from her obsessiveness, and that same selfishness I discussed before. Jury’s story is marked out because it is about an individual’s desire to use someone to fill a hole in their life (notice the very forceful word choice of ‘make you realize’), to varying levels of consciousness (and Shiori is doing the very same thing in a different way, which we’ll get to later). It’s not about that person but what they represent, while Utena’s relationship with Anthy is ultimately triumphant because it becomes a relationship of equals. (x)

totally normal about this, don't worry
