Well at least she's not calling me an "it" today. But Lily, ahem:

My theory that Lily doesn't even fully watch things she likes increases. I mean she admitted in her video on this very anime that she thinks you can "skip 7 episodes and miss nothing" in most current animated shows. Explains alot.

Not to mention Falin and Marcille are adults and the girls in A Place Further than the Universe are 16 and its constantly emphasized that they're joshi kosei/high school girls.

"SECRETLY"!? 🤣

Lily I already know you never watched Utena. You went from "I watched this when I was a kid I can't watch this anymore it's too gratuitous" in the anime ranking video, to "Becky Surcrose didn't get Utena because here's a completely wrong interpretation" in your 2023 Steven Universe video. To saying recently you don't need to watch "30 episodes of a black woman of color be put through the absolute wringer":

To then saying you give it a B ranking on your anime tier list.

To then saying I'm creepy for liking it because Anthy is "enslaved by her brother".

And that was because I said your boring Antarctica show is badly written and the kind of anime starring ditzy moeblob teenage girls that are designed to appeal to men. Which I ironically supported more than you did pirating it by watching it on Crunchyroll.

Just give it up, you never fucking watched Utena and you couldn't hope to understand it even if you did.

Though I suppose if you simply stopped talking about shit you don't understand you'd have to stop making videos entirely.

[purpledemonlilyposting]

Oh look a blatant self asking talking shit.

[Lily's Post]

Lily people tell each other they hope you cover a thing they like as a CURSE. It is a wish of doom upon their fandom. Are you just whining that people tell you to watch FMA: Brotherhood cause it's really good again? You know it's based on award-winning manga drawn and written by a woman right?

And you get your paycheck from tearing down other peoples' creative output, Lily. Can't complain when someone does it to yours. Don't you only review children's fantasy adventure cartoons you hate because you have to "pay your rent"?

The money I get from laughing at you is like 3rd down the list of my income streams.

Way to prove you have never listened to a word I've said about Utena. I'm not the one who focuses on the allusions to Greek myth and esoteric French literature, that's a bit beyond me. Save that for the essayists on Ohtori.nu. I just talk about the plot and the symbolism cause I'm sick and tired of people who have only ever experienced Utena as an aesthetic mood board pretending they know what it's about.

You OUTRIGHT ADMITTED you spoiled the manga out of sheer spite.

You're such a child. You got called out for trashing a show you very evidently didn't even watch and so in retaliation you made a new video in which you spoil the ending of of the manga without any warning. And you had this video labeled as "First Impressions" for a while. Nobody expects ending spoilers of an unfinished anime adaptation in a first impressions video you absolute petty little bitch.

It's not a good anime, Lily. It's a dull moeblob fest the only purpose of which is to get 4 high school girls on a big technical ship. The writing is incredibly lazy, contrived and relies on increasingly improbable coincidences to get the characters from point A to point B.

And it's not like the girls in the show are actually interested in arctic research or science or ship work. Its just let's get 4 ditzy moe joshi kosei on a big ship to appeal to otaku men who like to goon over "pure" teenage girls next to engineering porn. You played yourself.

"in these secluded places,

i felt most alive,

and at the end of every tunnel,

i thought i'd see a glimmer of light,

but this growing pressure of expectations,

snapped me back to reality,

now i fear... i'll drain away this feeling i held so dearly"

New Quasi-State-Of-Emergency In Tokyo, 12 Other Prefectures Starts Friday 1/21/2022; NJPW New Year’s Golden Series Night 1 - 1/20/2022: Kosei Fujita Out Injured; Dragon Gate 1/17/2022, TJPW 1/20/2022 Results

Starting tomorrow (possibly today in Japanese time by the time I post this), another quasi-state-of-emergency is due to begin in Tokyo and at least 12 other prefectures, following record-setting new cases in both Tokyo and Osaka. Omicron is doing the numbers once more, in a country that has 80% vaccination, but a mere 1.2% booster rate. This after quasi-emergency measures in Okinawa, after increasing Omicron cases from the US military bases had spilled into the greater population, prompting restrictions on activities outside the bases by military personnel posted there.

It's unknown how much wrestling will be affected by this; Dragon Gate has already said their show in Mie this Sunday 1/23/2022 may be postponed or cancelled due to this, but have not seen any other announcements so far. We will keep you posted.

New Japan Pro Wrestling

The first NJPW tour of 2022 began in earnest today, and you can see it now on NJPWWorld. This is the first New Year Golden Series since 2005, but was a regular year-opening tour from 1974-1990. Kosei Fujita injured his shoulder in training, and has been pulled from events through the end of January. Hopefully he will be able to return later in the tour.

Results:

New Years Golden Series - 1/20/2022, Tokyo Korakuen Hall (NJPWWorld, ABEMA)

Great O-Khan [United Empire] d. Yuto Nakashima (5:35)

Hiromu Takahashi [Los Ingobernables] d. Ryohei Oiwa (Boston Crab, 7:24) 

Tiger Mask IV & Togi Makabe d. Taiji Ishimori & Jado [Bullet Club] (Tiger > Jado, Reverse Double Armbar, 8:59)

Toru Yano [CHAOS], Satoshi Kojima & Tomoaki Honma d. Minoru Suzuki, Taichi & TAKA Michinoku [SZKG] (Kojima > TAKA, lariat, 9:12)

Master Wato, Ryusuke Taguchi & Hiroyoshi Tenzan d. El Desperado, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & DOUKI [SZKG] (Wato > DOUKI, Bendabar, 10:51)

Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI & YOH [CHAOS] d. EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Dick Togo & SHO [Bullet Club] (Ishii > Togo, Vertical Drop Brainbuster, 11:41)

Tetsuya Naito, SANADA & Shingo Takagi [Los Ingobernables] d. Kazuchika Okada [CHAOS], Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yuji Nagata (Naito > Nagata, Destino, 20:16)

Naito gets the win, and declares not only does he want to beat “the strongest man in NJPW,” but also declared he wants to return to the main event of the Tokyo Dome on January 4, 2023. Ishii tortured Dick Togo a bit post-match. Hiromu challenged Oiwa to Y10,000 of pocket money if he was able to remove the pseudo-Kamaitachi mask that HIromu was wearing. Oiwa did so, but Hiromu had ANOTHER mask on underneath. Hiromu tapped Oiwa out anyway.

If you have a premium subscription to NJPW’s website you can now see a digitized version of the 1978 New Year Golden Series program, which advertised among other things, a board-of-nails match between Antonio Inoki v. Umanosuke Ueda on 2/8/1978 at Tokyo Nippon Budokan. I bet THAT was a thing.

The tour continues tomorrow, but the show will be on tape-delay on NJPWWorld, not a live stream.

- 1/21/2022, Tokyo Korakuen Hall (Tape delay on NJPWWorld)

Ryohei Oiwa v. Great O-Khan [United Empire]

Yuto Nakashima v. BUSHI [Los Ingobernables]

Tiger Mask IV & Yuji Nagata v. Taiji Ishimori & Gedo [Bullet Club]

Toru Yano [CHAOS], Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma v. Minoru Suzuki, Taichi & DOUKI [SZKG]

Master Wato, Ryusuke Taguchi & Hiroyoshi Tenzan v. El Desperado, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & TAKA Michinoku [SZKG]

Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI & YOH [CHAOS] v. EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Dick Togo & SHO [Bullet Club]

Kazuchika Okada [CHAOS], Hiroshi Tanahashi & Satoshi Kojima v. Tetsuya Naito, SANADA & Shingo Takagi [Los Ingobernables]

Dragon Gate

Dragon Gate was in Nagoya this past Monday.

Open The New Year Gate 2022 – Final Burst Out! K-Ness Forever Night 8

- 1/17/2022, Aichi Nagoya Tsuyuhashi Sports Center

Takashi Yoshida, Kota Minoura & Jason Lee d. Dragon Kid [HIGH-END], Riki Iihashi & Ishin Iihashi (Yoshida > Ishin, CC2019, 11:08)

Keisuke Okuda [HIGH-END] d. Ryu Fuda (Buzzsaw Kick, 4:42)

Strong Machine J, Strong Machine F (Don Fujii) & Strong Machine G (Gamma) d. Mondai Ryu, Shachihoko Machine (Shachihoko Boy) & Konomama Ichikawa (J > Ichikawa, Kneel Kick, 0:10)

Strong Machine J, Strong Machine F (Don Fujii) & Strong Machine G (Gamma) d. Mondai Ryu, Shachihoko Machine (Shachihoko Boy) & Konomama Ichikawa (G > Ryu, lariat, 0:12)

Strong Machine J, Strong Machine F (Don Fujii) & Strong Machine G (Gamma) d. Mondai Ryu, Shachihoko Machine (Shachihoko Boy) & Konomama Ichikawa (Triple Pinfall, 3:53)

Big Boss Shimizu [Natural Vibes] & Takuma Fujiwara d. Ultimo Dragon & Takumi Hayakawa (Shimizu > Hayakawa, Big Boss Press, 9:19)

Dragon Dia & Yuki Yoshioka d. Ben-K & Kagetora [HIGH-END] (Dia > Kagetora, Reptilian, 12:51)

Kzy, U-T & Susumu Yokosuka [Natural Vibes] d. KAI, Shun Skywalker & HYO (U-T > KAI, Passion, 15:42)

Not a good couple of weeks to be KAI, as now U-T has a challenge back pocketed if KAI succeeds against Cyber Kong on 2/4/2022. I bet that comedy triple shot was a hoot. Okuda v. Fuda is threatening to be quite a rivalry.

The next show is on Saturday 1/22/2022, from Kobe, and will be streamed live on Dragon Gate Network.

  DDT / Tokyo Joshi / GANBARE Pro

Tokyo Joshi ran today, continuing the Futari No Princess Max Heart Tournament 2022.

Futari No Princess Max Heart Tournament 2022 Second Round: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi d. Hyper Misao & Shoko Nakajima (Tatsumi > Misao, Missile Hips, 14:57)

The semi-finals will come soon. Maki Itoh may have a challenge to her title coming from Yuki Kamifuku now.

That’s it for me today. Kind of a slow week thankfully. NOAH, AJPW, STARDOM, DG, NJPW, a whole bunch of shows this weekend to keep oneself busy. NJPW Strong on Saturday night, and even GCW on PPV on Sunday night. See you Sunday.

And here we have Lily Orchard unironically defending moé anime just because I'm critical of it despite it being the exact kind of stuff the so-called disgusting weebs who "fetishize Japan" she loves to complain about are into. More under the cut!

[Lily's Post]

"Director" in anime does often equate to "show runner" but there is barely any information on the development of this bland paint by numbers anime about moeblobs next to big ship machinery.

But considering Hanada was in charge of the series composition and wrote the screenplay of every single episode I would say he shaped the thing. It's just funny that Lily bitches about moé anime seasonal slop when that's Hanada's bread and butter.

But ah yeah, those stupid feminists, complaining about shows where female characters are all depicted as pure, airheaded, simple-minded and idealized for the male gaze. Totally not the response you'd see from an MRA neckbeard weeb, eh Lily? And you're agreeing with it.

What "pro moé" anime fans are ripping me apart except for "Christian libertarian communist" @kuuderekun over there? Who is probably sending all of these asks. Are these really the sorts of people you're making your bed with Lils? People who like School Days and lolicon?

You'll notice none of my critiques of A Place Further than the Universe have been "toddlerface bad". It's brainless teenage girls designed to appeal to the male gaze bad. And Lily, you were squealing the entire video about how cute and dumb the girls are. Yeah. That's the appeal.

Given I'm a feminist I maybe don't like women and girls being depicted as simple-minded creatures to be cooed at. It's still objectification. You're just not experienced enough with anime to have recognized what this boring, poorly written show is. Everything in it is just in service of putting moé joshi kosei next to big technical machinery to appeal to otaku autists. It's not the WORST example of this kind of show, but it is one.

For god's sake the girls only get on the expedition through sheer dumb happenstance and narrative contrivances. Zero characters besides Shirase have any real reason to go to Antarctica, even her mother didn't. Her mother wasn't even an Artic researcher or an engineer or anything, she just wanted to go to Antarctica cause it sounded neat. She and her two adult female friends also act like doe-eyed braindead teenagers.

And then the mom died going out in a blizzard trying to retrieve a laptop leaving her daughter motherless for no reason, but this is treated as nothing but beautiful and heartwarming by the show. It's so asinine.

How's that Antarctica video doing by the way?
