The Anime Tea

The 2000s American anime-watching experience is unmatched. With the controversial but essential program of 4kids on WB, the iconic Toonami and Adult Swim blocks on Cartoon Network, and the rise of early pirating on YouTube and Crunchyroll. Growing up as an anime fan in this era was a strangely beautiful time.

Shonen Jump magazine is responsible for some of the most successful manga/anime series of all time. But what if I told you that Shojo, and one of the most hated fandoms in anime and manga, is responsible for making many series popular?

Anime boys may be beautiful but their origins are not. I dive into the complex history of Bishōnen, the real people that the term was used to describe and one particular actor who unintentionally inspired the “look” of Bishōnen all anime fans are familiar with today.

There is one thing that people tend to overlook when reviewing Studio Chizu’s BELLE. Despite being directed by legendary filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda (Wolf Children, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time) and providing an optimistic take on technology and the internet, the film falls short when it attempts to portray how people should safely help victims of abuse.  SPOILERS

This is audio from a video posted on YouTube, you can find the original here: https://youtu.be/H7VGkQ1wdYE

Award-winning series Made in Abyss is praised for its painstakingly crafted worldbuilding and heart-wrenching stories. But between questionable depictions of young characters, truly disturbing scenes, and the 'desires' of the creator on full display, fans have questioned the integrity of the anime and manga. I'll be diving into the controversies of the series and exploring if certain depictions are "realistic" or just plain weird.

Anime is full of cliché and strange archetypes but one that doesn’t seem to get enough attention is the drunk girl trope. Why are so many women in anime alcoholics? And what inspires creators to continue having these types of characters? Let’s talk about it.

Keiko Nobumoto is a screen writer that you may not have known was responsible for some of the greatest characters in anime history! Here's a little introduction to the woman behind Cowboy Bebop, Tokyo Godfathers and Wolf's Rain in honor of her memory. 

I'm sick of anime...

Well not really, but I am sick of the avalanche of anime we get every season, most of which isn't that great, all because people are not getting paid fairly. There are so many things that anime fans don't know about all the questionable and terrible things behind the scenes of our favorite anime. I think people need to know the truth behind what they watch in order to really appreciate and understand the medium, so... here's the truth.
