The Alice Series is one of my favorites in the gaming space. With the state of the games industry being so profit driven over creating good art, I have low hopes for Alice: Asylum being picked up any time soon. This series actually helps me a lot in my own personal healing journey with it's various themes and beliefs. (It also inspired a new tattoo idea I hope to get sometime this year!) Have you played the Alice Series?
Romantic Killer is such a great anime! I hope more and more people get hip to it and watch it! I love seeing positive Ace/Aro representation and when I do I latch on it with all my being.

It's really wild how gaming companies are reporting record breaking profits yet, laying off workers, closing down studios, all while attempting to squeeze every cent out of their customer base. I hope things change soon. While there are many great examples of DLC, there are many aspects of the practice that are not good and are borderline predatory.
It is heart warming seeing positive Ace representation in media, especially in anime which I of course love so much!

Princess Peach is SO in her Magical Girl Era and I am HERE for it. I feel like a lot of us are in our Magical Girl, Healing, reclaiming our time era and I love that journey for us. I am taking my time and enjoying Princess Peach Showtime but I wanted to take the time in this video to acknowledge the roots of Princess Peach, from 1985 til now to show how far she has come in the gaming space. Also I wanted to FYI let you all know that my podcast is a Nerd podcast so I won't always be chatting about anime as I love to also yap about videogames, comic books, Star Wars and DnD. Just wanted to give you all a heads up just in case the question comes up, like WHY IS THIS A PODCAST EPISODE. (LoL 1. It's not it's just bonus stuff 2. Even if it were it FITs because I too am a gaming nerd) ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti ✨Sources of This Episode✨: Provided on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/miladyconfetti Music Cherry Bomb by MiladyConfetti 2024
Spy x Family Code White movie has released in theaters FINALLY, so of course I wanted to share my thoughts on it. HOWEVER, I ALSO wanted to take the time to address some misinformation out there about Spy x Family creator Tetsoya Endo and stress the importance of checking sources especially when it comes to anime deep dives or researching about people's lives. I do my best to have my sources listed in my description because I do not ever want to come across as someone who just knows everything off the top of my head, I don't always hence the research, or like I'm shooting from the hip. I share my opinions here and there, but I do not treat my opinions as law of the land especially when speaking on people and their art. It feels somewhere along the line we have lost the plot as observers of this artform especially when it comes to Spy x Family on taking misinformation as face value. And I hope from this video we can talk about that when it comes to not only Spy x Family but Endo's works entirely! I want to encourage you all to check out Tetsuya Endo's other works such as Ash of Purgatory, I Spy and Blade of the Moon Princess! Those are my personal favorites! He does have more than those but this episode is not a full deep dive so I only highlighted the ones that really stood out to me. I do not think Spy x Family is losing it's way, I think misinformation has lead fans things that are untrue. As a writer, I think it's perfectly okay to not have deep attachments to your characters. For some creatives having deep attachment works, for others not so much. No one path of creation is the "right" way, it's just whatever path is chosen to get the ideas from your head to paper. I personally can tell from the beginning if an author may be too attached to characters or dislike them (STARES HARD AT GEGE) sometimes it works and sometimes it can stifle the work. It really depends, BUT that is where a good editor comes in and helps streamline the process for us to consume! I hope you enjoyed my review of Spy x Family Code: White and get to see it in theatres soon! ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti?source=h5_m ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti ✨Sources of This Episode✨ Provided on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/miladyconfetti ✨Music✨ Cherry Bomb- MiladyConfetti 2024
Megan the Stallion is out here WINNING and I love that for her. Her being a presenter at the Anime Awards is a WIN for Black Girl Anime fans out there. It sucks in 2024 we are still having the conversation of "who's a real anime fan' or gatekeeping. It's tired and old let's give it a rest. So many people enjoy anime, and newer people are being introduced all the time, making our community bigger. Let's all enjoy the very thing that connects us together! ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti?source=h5_m ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti ✨Music✨ Cherry Bomb by MiladyConfetti
Cutie Honey is undoubtedly one of THE most influential and controversial pieces of work since it's publishing over 50 years ago. While it pushed the Magical Girl Genre and it's themes beyond what was thought Magical Girls were thought to be, especially being a Shonen, it did force people to reckon with the question of where is the line when it comes to entertainment aimed at children when it comes to certain themes. Coming of age stories like Horimiya, heck even Naruto are great and should be celebrated for what they are, but when the but when the content/ "substance" of a show is 99.999999% fan service hmmmmmm questions have to be raised. Nagai is a pioneer in the manga industry and has written and illustrated many works. While he knew his works whether that be in Sci-fi, Horror, Magical Girl or historical would push boundaries on censorship, it is also interesting to know that his "portrayals" of certain characters were so OUT there that an entirely new genre was created that centered on $*x jokes within the Shonen category. While Adults write Young adult novels and manga all of the time, and handle coming of age stories of love, self-discovery, deep feelings, heartbreak and so much more, sometimes we do have to sit back and wonder....who is the actual target audience, where is the inspiration for these works coming from, and where do ethics, morality and art intersect? ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti ✨Sources of This Episode✨ Provided on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/miladyconfetti ✨Music✨ Cherry Bomb by MiladyConfetti 2024
Have you all every heard of anime Magical Boys before? What if Attack on Titan was actually in the full framework of a magical boy anime; how wild would THAT be?! This idea to cover this topic got stuck in my head, so I had to do it! I may have girl bossed too close to the sun because it took me SO long to edit and I had a quick turn around due to outside commitments. So def going to allow myself some air before the next episode! ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti ✨Sources of This Episode✨: Provided on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/miladyconfetti ✨Music Cherry Bomb by MiladyConfetti
Not gonna lie this one hit hard. Process your grief in community. Although we as an Anime community have our difference, I think we all understand that Akira Toriyama's impact on anime, gaming and popular culture is immeasurable. While I was more of a Sailor Moon gurlie, I fully understand and respect Toriyama's impact. I LOVED Kid Buu and Android 17 and have their funkos on my large Funko wall collection. My favorite seiyan is Vegeta because he always worked SO HARD and loved his wife dearly. Look at me rambling in my own description box haha. Apologies for the wonky editing and flubbing of words towards the end of this video. I kept recording multiple takes because I was getting emotional but trying to speak clearly. ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti ✨Sources✨ ✨Anime Show Profiles via Crunchyroll, IMDB and Anime News Network ✨IMDB- Akira Toriyama https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868066/bio/ Sources Women's Suffrage: ✨Women's Rights, Feminism, and Suffragism in Japan, 1870-1925 Barbara Molony https://www.jstor.org/stable/3641228 ✨Birth Control and Socialism: The Frustration of Margaret Sanger and Ishimoto Shizue's Mission- Aiko Takeuchi-Demirci https://www.jstor.org/stable/23613288 ✨Japan's Feminist Fabulation- Akiko Ebihara https://web.archive.org/web/20141107125736/http://www.genders.org/g36/g36_ebihara.html ✨Broken Silence: Voices of Japanese Feminism https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Silence-Aoki-Yayoi/dp/0520085140/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 ✨Japanese Women's Science Fiction: Posthuman Bodies and the Representation of Gender- https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1442&context=art_sci_etds ✨Women of Japan unite: Examining the contemporary state of feminism- Masami Ito https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2015/10/03/lifestyle/women-japan-unite-examining-contemporary-state-feminism/ ✨Yoshihiro Togashi https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/1b9k6my/yoshihiro_togashi_talks_about_akira_toriyama_jump/ ✨ Seeing Rejection As Redirection: What We Gain When We Lose. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/seeing-rejection-redirection-what-we-gain-when-lose-rich-wills/ ✨Music✨ Cherry Bomb by Milady Confetti 2024
This was a fun episode to piece together! I want to reiterate what I did in the video that it is perfectly okay to have a different opinion than mine. What I want to do is celebrate Black Women in the space, that's characters and voice actors! This is a celebratory experience but of course I have to throw some education in there as well.
