HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🌈🎉

This is a time to celebrate and honor the diversity and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community. May this month be filled with love, acceptance, and equality for all. Remember, Pride is not only about recognizing the progress that has been made, but also about continuing to fight for a more inclusive and understanding world.

If you or others are looking for a safe space to connect with others during Pride Month, this server can be a great option. You'll likely find many welcoming people here who you can connect, share experiences, and celebrate together.

When it comes to representation in anime and gaming, there is a wide range of LGBTQ+ representation in the world. I'll be doing daily posts about certain games and anime all month. These shows offer a diverse representation of LGBTQ+ experiences and can be a great way to explore stories that resonate with the community.

Remember, Pride Month is a time for celebration, education, and allyship. Let's continue to support and uplift the LGBTQ+ community, not just during June but throughout the year. Love is love, and everyone deserves to be proud of who they are. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

This is for the anime that aren’t officially shoujo/josei, but they likely could pass as one.

The question of the ages! I originally phrased this as "who is Ouran's Best Boi," but felt that was a bit of a loaded question lol. Just pretend that you are Haruhi Fujioka, or take her place as yourself, and choose who you want in your ideal world! May the best man win!

9 Anime to Watch When You Want to Feel Like 👇🏾

Looking to sate that lovey, dovey, sweet tooth of yours or maybe you just want a saccharine palate cleanser, below are a few short series/movies to check out for casual viewing. While these are mostly the kind of shows that give you the anxious butterflies wondering will they or won't they (they will), I tried to include something for everyone though this is a list deserving of several installments. Either way, the genre de jour is romance✨ even if it does come with a side of laughter.

HoriMiya - (series)

Filed under: "It's popular because it's good", "Opposites attract", "Sunny x Grumpy", "Love Triangle" (but less so- read the manga though), "Unrequited love", high school

Horimiya is a funny comfort watch and palette cleanser because, within the ensemble cast, you see many different types of relationships play out which I didn't include above. I think what adds to this series is the fact that all of the MC's are very in their heads about everything for one reason or another so you will find someone you can relate to. The beauty of this story is knowing that one small thing can ultimately lead to something great and that everyone grapples with coming into their own, one way or another. So, there's a bit of angst in line with a coming of age story but, considering the title is a portmanteau of the two main characters, you know things work out in the end.

Sasaki and Miyano - (series + OVA)

Filed under: "It's popular because it's good", "Friends to lovers?", "Oblivious to love", "Love at first sight”, “Slow burn", high school

This is another funny comfort watch for me that is compounded by the fact that the build up and consideration this story takes is so. heartwarming. I would loosely say delinquent adjacent Sasaki falls in love with fudanshi Miyano and spends the whole series being a precious idiot in love. At an all boys' school, Miyano tends to find BL scenarios everywhere, except when it comes to he and Sasaki.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku - (series)

Filed under: "It's popular because it's good", "Friends to lovers", "Oblivious to love", "Otaku x otaku", established relationship, office

I'm not going to weigh in on whether there's merit in MC Momose's assumption that being an otaku is relationship suicide. In fact, she swears she'll get it right this time by burying that side of herself down when she starts a new job. But she soon finds she doesn't have to pretend when she bumps into childhood friend Nifuji. While she tries her best to border on "normie", she finds acceptance and space to let her nerd flag fly along with another couple at her office that cosplay as normal people during their 9-5. Relatable.

Sub | Prime Video

Kase-san and Morning Glories (OVA's)

Filed under: Established relationship, high school

So this is tricky as you can really only watch one of the OVA's, wherein they are already in a relationship. Kase and Yamada find themselves excitedly exploring their new relationship while also offsetting the fact that they really don't have much in common. The story is sweet and rather honest about intimacy when it comes to things like your significant other seeing you naked or how we tend to project our uncertainty onto others even in an established relationship. Even though there are a lot of things pulling them apart or reasons why they may be better suited for others, they make a concerted effort to choose and stick with one another.

Given - (series + movie)

Filed under: "It's popular because it's good", "Friends to lovers", "Love triangle", "Oblivious to Love", "Sleeps with everyone but you", "Dark secrets", college

I can't tell if this is good or if I'm just a casualty of Jonah Scott's Akihiko. It's hard trying to make it in a band. Even if you're talented, there could always be someone out there just a little better than you are. Same could be said about love, I guess. Especially in this series. It glosses over answering questions about some of the more series issues the main characters are facing but ultimately ties things up, even if the bow is shitty (I'm looking at you, movie). I think, without context of the manga, including the movie on the rec list makes it problematic so, dear reader, maybe just stop with the series.

Sub/Dub | Crunchyroll

MY Love STORY!! (series)

Filed under: "Ugly duckling", "Height difference", established relationship, high school

There are several points during this series where I was waiting for the other shoe to drop because Takeo and Rinko are simply so happy and innocent together. There are also several points where I expected this to turn into a BL because of Makoto. Ultimately, I'm glad Takeo is surrounded by the love he deserves because he's a sweet, baby angel.

Sub/Dub | Crunchyroll, Hulu

More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers (series)

Filed under: "Friends to lovers", "Opposites attract", "Fish out of water", "Forced proximity", high school

This series hasn't finished airing but I'm calling it now. The "get married and settle down" propaganda these days is crazy and that's likely how this little ecchi based on the premise of needing to simulate married life in order to graduate came to be. Additionally, at least one inclusion had to be the very specific romance genre wherein a pining but melba toast dude catches the interest of people extremely out of his league. But things aren't always what they seem, here, especially in the case of gyaru Akari Watanabe.

Sub/Dub | Crunchyroll

My Senpai is Annoying (series)

Filed under: "Height difference", "Unrequited love", "Forced proximity", "Age gap", office

Technically, this show is more of a slice of life when it comes to Futaba Igarashi but I included it anyway because who wouldn't ultimately swoon for Harumi Takeda? Like, we get it, girl, that giant himbo with his old school chivalry and novice comprehension of technology would wear anyone down. TBH, writing that line made me want to rewatch this series again. This is a slightly smaller ensemble but ultimately still working through some funny relationship hiccups. I'm not calling it a slow burn. Reframe your expectations for a slice of life, but it has those awkward bits where characters have burgeoning and unavoidable emotions hence its inclusion.

Sub/Dub | Funimation

TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You (series)

Filed under: Established relationship, married, ~high school

I lowkey had mixed feelings about this series but included it because, when I ship characters, this is very much what I mean. Just the overwhelmingly wholesome and awkward way two people create a life for themselves even if the milestones are a bit out of order. Additionally, while there's usually an element of boring person not deserving of other person and angst therein, this series highlights ways in which both main characters are beloved so it's literally just the icing of "we're here, we know we're in love, now what?".

Hey everyone! I'm super close to reaching 200 followers on Twitch! It's a huge milestone. I'm going to be reducing the face reveal camera from 300 to 200. I'm so excited to share this moment with my amazing community.

Also, I'm going to be doing multiple streams a week. During the day, I'll be doing action-based streams that are perfect for keeping you entertained during your work breaks. And at night, I'll switch to more chill games that are perfect for winding down after a long day. This schedule will slowly take into affect as the weeks go by.

I really want to focus on building a close-knit community on Twitch, so I'm hoping to attract dedicated fans who are passionate about each game, dnd, and pass the vibe check.

If you're not already following me, be sure to do so and tune in to my streams. Let's build something awesome together and hit that 200 follower milestone!

🌸 ANIME 》 RASCAL DOES NOT DREAM OF BUNNY GIRL SENPAI

[beneaththetangles]

Holy revival, Batman! It’s a week from Thanksgiving and a perfect time to consider how many of us struggle to give thanks. Nami’s actions when fighting Arlong in One Piece set the stage for Mike’s thought on how easily it is to miss the spirit of gratitude when things aren’t going well, when our blessings are relatively minor, and in the face of obvious blessings. He also chats about the play he’s working on, the revival service he conducted worship for, and more on this episode of The Power of God and Anime podcast!

Anime Trivia!

In the anime My Senpai is Annoying, what is the name of the dolphin Sakurai thinks looks like Kazuma?

Podcast Notes

Mike is reading I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time, and we think you should, too! Here’s Twwk’s review of volume one of the light novel series.

Mike gets a little ahead of himself today and does a pre-“Songs That Tell the Story,” singing from Gaither Vocal Band’s “When I Cry.”

Canada’s Wonderland does still exist! Maybe you’ll have fun visiting, too—though it looks like the Flintstones have gone the way of the dinosaur.

In today’s actual Songs That Tell the Story, Mike sings the Christmas song, “Thankful” by Josh Groban.

Bible verses we mentioned or that inspired discussion in this episode include Romans 5:3, Job 1:21, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, and Psalms 103:1-2.
