Review: Revolutionary Girl Utena

Current mood: (put the gif in here ig)

The 90s anime that shook the world and triggered the awakening of queer people everywhere, Revolutionary Girl Utena is surreal as it is sapphic. It has been in my watch list for the longest time and I tried my best to avoid spoilers because everyone warned of the twists and I wanted to experience it for myself. But I never got around to watching it because where do you watch 90s anime with subtitles online??? Nearly impossible to find... until now. Turns out you just need to know where to look.

The internet isn't joking this anime will fuck you up. Badly. 

Review: Trigun (manga), Trigun Stampede (2023 anime)

Like most 90s manga/anime, Trigun has always been at the back of my mind as 'something that I've seen little of but left a distinct first impression', the first impression being Spikey-haired Man in Red Coat With Guns In A Desert. The original manga by Nightow started in 1995 and went on till 2007 so it would have been in my radar... but dad never touched it so neither did I.

I wouldn't even consider watching Stampede but I'm a basic bitch that is easily influenced by the stupid bird app, so this happened. Anime twitter is going crazy about it (among other things), especially because it's a re-imagining of the manga, which means brand new designs, new characters and timeline shuffling. What a way to revitalize a 16-year-old manga... and it worked because I read the manga. GOD what a ride it was! I feel very normal thank you very much.
