On this episode, multiple celestial warriors are down! I repeat, multiple celestial warriors are down! It's up to the club hosts of Dennis, Ed, Kate, Karen, and special returning guest Chika from the Shoujo Sundae podcast to help fill that void. It's not a dream, as war finally reaches Konan. Also people figure out how to go back to the real world, character death spotlights and lowlights, music focused scenes galore, hardcore parkour, ghost revenge, and a surprise empress. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:07:54 - The Watchlist 0:17:14 - EP44: Moment of Battle 0:45:49 - EP45: Divergent Light 1:14:43 - EP46: The Young Man of Reality 1:37:15 - EP47: Repose of the Soul's Light 2:06:47 - EP48: Even Wagering on this Life 2:29:56 - Final Thoughts & Kanpai Thanks to special guest Chika (@chikasupreme) from Shoujo Sundae Podcast (@shoujosundae), winner of the 2024 Signal Awards Listener's Choice in the Recap category.

Getting closer to the finale, come join Dennis, Diana, Ed, Karen, & Kate for more Fushigi Yûgi, covering episodes 40-43. Miaka's dream school scenario turns into a recurring nightmare, we've lost track of how many times Miaka & Tamahome have broken up, there's new Byakko Warriors, another Boshi Boy (no relation to Flute-aboshi or Rope-aboshi), and giant insect monsters. And just when you thought he couldn't, Nakago gets even creepier. Also, we talk abou the new Gundam GQuuuuuuX film at the beginning of the show with chapter time stamps, so feel free to skip that chapter if you did not get a chance to see the film yet! 0:00:00 - Introduction & News 0:07:53 - GQuuuuuuX Movie SPOILERS 0:24:26 - The Watchlist 0:35:58 - Fushigi Yûgi Catch-up with Karen & Diana 0:43:24 - EP40: Deceptive Love 1:03:30 - EP41: Sunlight of Rebirth 1:28:24 - EP42: Unbreachable Wall 1:54:57 - EP43: Farewell Reunion 2:18:53 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Unfortunately, Fushigi Yugi is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below.   Dennis: @ichnob | Diana: @binkx | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Karen: @ryacosplay | Kate: @taikochan  Linktr.ee | Ko-Fi | RSS

On this episode, join Ed, Garrett, Karen, Kate, & Dennis for more adventures in The Universe of the Four Gods with our Fushigi Yûgi recap of episodes 36-39. We've reached one of the lowest points for Miaka, and most of the Suzaku Warriors aren't even around! There's so much running away, a couple of big truth bombs, more Street Fighter II homages, and more shells than you can shake a stick at. You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a perilous land of illusions. Next stop, the Tomo Zone. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:13:40 - The Watchlist 0:27:55 - EP36: Trampled Love 0:57:13 - EP37: Bewitched Warmth 1:29:21 - EP38: Dawn of the Heart 1:54:43 - EP39: Bewitched Illusions 2:16:14 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Unfortunately, Fushigi Yugi is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below.   Dennis: @ichnob | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Garrett: @blkriku | Karen: @ryacosplay | Kate: @taikochan Linktr.ee | Ko-Fi | RSS

We're back in the Universe of the Four Gods, as Dennis, Ed, Kate, & Karen start part two of the Fushigi Yûgi miniseries! Starting off with episodes 27-30, we get our first full recap episode, along with journeying to a new land. Miaka and Yui both resolve to see through their respective quests, even if it means fighting each other. Other talking points include Flute-aboshi & Rope-aboshi, library etiquette, indoor sunglasses, things that could have been done yesterday, lightning bending, and recharging your chakra. So get out of those drenched clothes before you get sick.

On this episode, join Diana, Dennis, Kate, Garrett, & Ed for the season 1 finale of Fushigi Yugi, covering episodes 23-26. All of the Suzaku Warriors have finally gathered plus 1 (wait, what...), and the melodrama just gets thicker. Tamahome is back to his old ways for a bit, Miaka has accidentally unlocked Hard Mode for the "summon Suzaku quest," friend zoning and promise rings, twin powers activate, river wall discrepancies, only one person freaking out over polaroid pictures, and of course, resurrecting a Tom Cardy joke from a previous episode. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime Related News 0:22:58 - The Watchlist 1:03:42 - EP23: Shadow of Intrigue 1:27:09 - EP24: Resolution 1:53:19 - EP25: Love and Sorrow 2:22:07 - EP26: Star Festival 2:43:37 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai  Unfortunately, Fushigi Yugi is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below.   Dennis: @ichnob | Diana: @binkxy | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Garrett: @blkriku | Kate: @taikochan Linktr.ee | Ko-Fi | RSS

More Suzaku warriors found, but somehow, the Seiryuu side isn't panicking.

Joining hosts Dennis, Kate, Garrett, Ed, and Karen is first time guest Chika Supreme from the Shoujo Sundae podcast! Though we only talk about the first four episodes, it's one of our longest podcasts to date, so fair warning.

Covers volumes 7–12 of Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden by Yuu WataseCaitlin (OG Fushigi Yugi superfan), Sara Linsley (manga letterer extraordinaire), and Zahra Ymer (manga scholar in training), and Ashley (Shojo & Tell host) are back for the second half of Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden, aka The Better Fushigi Yugi (sorry, OG FY). This episode gets heavy: The primary topic is about accepting death (it's better if you know going in that priestess Takiko is going to die!). All four talk about the points at which they cried, and how much (not Soren!!), make fun of Efinluka's name (.... well, how would you pronounce it?), and ponder if Takiko and Uruki having sex while Uruki presents female would upset the god, Genbu. You will laugh, you will cry, and if we're lucky, you won't die.REFERENCESFushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden is available from Viz Media's Shojo Beat lineExcellent series Sara has lettered:Waiting for SpringSweat and SoapFushigi Yugi: Byakko SenkiThe Fable of the Dragon TyrantYou, too, can get wrecked looking at the Wikipedia page for tuberculosis Weathering With You tried to have its cake and eat it, too, when it came to sacrificeHas anyone read Arata: The Legend besides Ashley?Outro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USCaitlin on Twitter, her personal blog, Anime Feminist, and Anime News NetworkSara on Twitter and her personal websiteZahra on Twitter and Anime FeministShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter @AshMcD00Next episode will be about volumes 1-5 of After School Nightmare by Setona Mizushiro.

Caitlin (OG Fushigi Yugi superfan), Sara Linsley (manga letterer extraordinaire), and Zahra Ymer (manga scholar in training), and Ashley discuss how the series compares to its predecessor, pick apart Watase's sidebar notes (she thinks she'd be Tomite if she were a boy?!), fawn over Uruki / Limdo and Takiko (okay, that's mostly Ashley), and discover that all the good guys in this manga are basically serial killers.REFERENCESFushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden is available from Viz Media's Shojo Beat lineExcellent series Sara has lettered:Waiting for SpringSweat and SoapFushigi Yugi: Byakko SenkiA Genbu character gets compared to Walter White from Breaking BadHatsui is inspired by MoominsThings that are most definitely shojo (note: sarcasm):Your Lie in AprilToradora!Random mentions:Code GeassAvatar: The Last AirbenderKuranosuke from Princess JellyfishTubbs from Neko AtsumeSwanOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USCaitlin on Twitter, her personal blog, Anime Feminist, and Anime News NetworkSara on Twitter and her personal websiteZahra on Twitter and Anime FeministShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter @AshMcD00Next episode will be about volumes 7-12 of Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden by Yuu Watase

This is a review of Fushigi Yugi: Byakko Senki volume 1, a new series by Yuu Watase that's going to be released by Viz.Whether you've read the original Fushigi Yugi and Genbu Kaiden or not, you should be hype for the latest (and last) installment in Yuu Watase's beloved series. Byakko Senki is set slightly after Genbu Kaiden and follows Suzuno as she struggles with the sudden loss of her parents and being the destined priestess inside The Universe of the Four Gods. Fushigi Yugi has always been dark, but this first volume is the heaviest of the series yet. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and her boytoy Asher run through all the heavy events of this volume and about what they're excited to see in the future. (Which brother is Tatara?!?!)REFERENCESFushigi Yugi: Byakko Senki volume 1 is being released  by Viz Media's Shojo Beat line in August 2020. Please note that at this time, the series is on hiatus and no other volumes exist.Watase has come out as x-gender, which is a nonbinary gender. The Shojo Beat Tumblr says Watase's pronouns are still she/hers. (We sometimes used "they" in the podcast.)It's interesting to read this after having just covered Haruka: Beyond the Stream of TimeMentions:Previous Fushigi Yugi series (obviously; beware of spoilers!)Arata: The Legend, Watase's shonen seriesRedwallThe Melancholy of Haruhi SuzumiyaThe Chronicles of NarniaOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USAsher on Archive of Our Own: dasheryShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter: @AshMcD00

Covers volumes 1–9 of Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time by Tohko Mizuno.Haruka (perhaps more widely known as Harukanaru Toki no Naka de) was one of the first-ever otome games, and it launched a franchise that spun off into manga and anime adaptations as well. Though the series didn’t gain popularity in the United States, we thought HARUKA was important to cover for its historical context. In this episode, Shojo & Tell host Ashley and her boytoy Asher journey back to the Heian era with Akane (a normal high school girl who’s a priestess in this alternate timeline), Tenma, and Shimon (two of Akane’s classmates that end up being her guardians) to meet even more hot men vying for Akane’s heart. (And fighting a war against a clan of demons.) It’s basically a much worse Fushigi Yugi. But Yasuaki and Eisen make it all worth it. Well… almost.REFERENCESThe Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time manga is out of print (published in English by Viz Media's Shojo Beat line), and the games were never brought over for English audiences. You can watch the anime legally on Tubi, though. (Watch at least the opening theme song! It's really dope.)Haruka is essentially an inferior Fushigi YugiHaruka is mainly an otome game franchise.  Read Anime Feminist's article that's a beginner's guide to otome games.Comparisons made to elements of Haruka and better franchises:Tenma = inferior!Kyo SohmaShimon = inferior!Peeta MellarkEisen = inferior!NurikoAkane = inferior!KagomeWe could keep going but you get the pointWho's the 8th Digidestined?The Four Gods in DigimonJust War TheoryAshley hates Ignis from Final Fantasy XV, while Asher loves IgnisOkay there's also inferior!Clow ReedOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USAsher on Archive of Our Own: dasheryShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter: @AshMcD00The next episode will be about the second half of Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time (volumes 10–17).

Be kind and rewind back with us to a time when anime wasn't streaming and there were far fewer conventions teeming with merch. We're going back to the 80's and 90's and doing throw back on the history and practice of VHS fansubs (and a little bit on the subject of how it's done today too)! It's part of a series called OTAKUMENTARY where we discuss our collective otakulture and reflect on it all! In this episode, find out why Fushigi Yugi was effectively brought (legally) to the west, how to kind of sort of do you own VHS fansubs, and all about the mystery of Hot Ramen Video and Miami Mike! Be sure to check the show notes for all the links to our sources! We'll be sure to update this episode if we find out more or have to make redactions or additions!

Covers volumes 19–27 of Basara by Yumi Tamura (the last third of the series).The war epic that is Basara finally comes to an end in this long denouement (and two volumes of side stories). Shojo manga master Caitlin and Shojo & Tell host Ashley answer a listener question about lost limbs, pay tribute to the characters who didn't survive to the end of the story, go into the handling of the later plot developments involving the White King, Ginko, and chat about all the side stories (there were so many!). Along the way, dolphin bombs are discussed, and Nachi canonically becomes a California surfer bro.REFERENCESBasara is available digitally in English from Viz MediaBasara also has a 13-episode anime adaptation7SEEDS is another work by Yumi Tamura that got a (not great) anime adaptation recently (available on Netflix).

Covers volumes 10–18 of Basara by Yumi Tamura (the middle third of the series).The middle third of Basara contains some wacky stuff, like a baby who's not really a baby and threatens to stab Sarasa. But honestly, we don't get into all that: shojo manga master Caitlin and Shojo & Tell host Ashley discuss the identity crisis of Sarasa/Tatara and how that's wrapped up in gender, get into Ageha as a character and the manga's main theme about reconciling with your perceived enemies, and both applaud and laugh at the sexy sex scene between Sarasa and Shuri.

Covers volumes 10-18 of Fushigi Yugi by Yu Watase We’re back to talk about the strange saga of Fushigi Yugi’s ending and how Tamahome became Taka, or Taka was always Taka but he allowed Tamahome to exist, one’s a shadow, something like that. Just trust us on this one. Ashley, Caitlin, and Jess also discuss how Miaka and Yui have matured after one of them was consumed by a dragon god (oh, they also graduated middle school), how a young Yu Watase may have been underestimating the power of shojo manga, and, most importantly, everybody weighs in on which of the Celestial Warriors has the best hair. LINKS Fushigi Yugi (and Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden) is available from Viz Media’s Shojo Beat line Fushigi Yugi: Byakko Senki is currently running in Japan Request Viz to pick up Byakko Senki So here’s why Ashley butchered Caitlin’s intro: Ashley’s partner Jeff (who works at Viz) has a sibling who had a blog called Heroine Sheik, and Caitlin runs a site called I Have a Heroine Problem (link below), and Ashley’s brain conflated those two and then her mouth said the wrong thing. So there you go.

Covers volumes 1-9 of Fushigi Yugi by Yu Watase Watase’s classic stirs up a lot of feelings in this first Shojo & Tell episode to have three people voicing their opinions. The nostalgia goggles are definitely on for Ashley, Caitlin, and Jessica as they debate who the best celestial warrior is (NURIKO IS THE GREATEST! NO! TASUKI!), ponder the strange choice to have the Seiryu warriors be evil, and discuss how the isekai genre has evolved over the years since Fushigi Yugi (ugh, Sword Art Online). Other questions answered: Should FY get a new anime adaptation? Do luck and privilege intersect? Is Genbu Kaiden the superior FY? Is love really war?

Angela and Kelly go full librarian this week, talking about how libraries choose what books to put on the shelves--and what has to go. Ever wonder who gets to pick what manga/graphic novels your library carries? (Spoiler: it's us). Frustrated that a library got rid of your favorite series? (Guilty). We talk about budget and space constraints, out of print titles, the challenge balancing old and new, the siren call of nostalgia, and why we sometimes remove books you loved (sorry, Fushigi Yugi). Learn the darkest secrets of the library!
